[0017] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

[0018] [1. Overview] First, an overview of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a diagram showing an example of conventional fuel oil sales management. Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of fuel oil sales management in this embodiment.

[0019] In the oil industry, fluctuations in crude oil prices cause unit prices for fuel oil transactions to change on a regular basis. In the past, in credit sales transactions, unit prices were often determined after the transaction, and when registering sales data, provisional registration was made at the previous unit price, and sales were recalculated at the latest unit price after the unit price was determined. As a result, in the past, sales results could not be captured as accurate figures until the recalculation.

[0020] For example, as shown in Figure 1, in the past, when the unit price was not yet determined, provisional sales amounts (sales data) calculated using the previous month's unit price were registered, and the final sales recalculation was performed at the beginning of the following month.As a result, during the period leading up to the sales recalculation, actual sales could only be captured using provisional sales amounts calculated using the previous month's unit price.

[0021] Therefore, in this embodiment, the unit price increase / decrease amount managed on a base date for each customer is registered in a master, the market unit price for each region announced weekly by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy is taken in as the base unit price, the sales unit price is automatically calculated from the base unit price and the unit price increase / decrease amount, and the sales quantity is multiplied by the latest unit price to display sales results by department.

[0022] For example, as shown in Fig. 2, in this embodiment, the process of determining unit prices is automated, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing time, and making it possible to check actual sales on a ledger without waiting for sales to be recalculated. In this way, in this embodiment, unit price calculation is automated, and even before sales are recalculated, actual sales based on the latest calculated unit price are output on a ledger, making it possible to quickly check accurate actual sales.

[0023] [2. Configuration] An example of the configuration of the fuel oil unit sales price management device 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 3 to Fig. 5.

Furthermore, when the master setting unit 102a downloads the results of a petroleum product price survey from the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, it may set a record corresponding to the survey results in the market unit price master 106b. Furthermore, the master setting unit 102a may register sales data in the sales database 106d based on sales registrations from each department.

[0036] An example of supplier master settings in this embodiment will now be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of supplier master settings in this embodiment.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 4, the master setting unit 102a may set a record in which the region and the week number for which the unit price is adopted are set in the supplier master (customer master) 106a.

[0038] An example of sales registration in this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of sales registration in this embodiment.

[0039] 5, the master setting unit 102a may register sales data for each product for each business partner (customer) based on sales registration from each department during daily business operations. Here, the unit sales price and sales amount in the sales data in this embodiment may be the unit sales price and sales amount existing at the time of registration.

[0040] Returning to FIG. 3, the unit price difference acquisition unit 102b acquires the unit price difference, which is the difference between the sales unit price of the product sold to the business partner and the market unit price. Here, when the unit price difference acquisition unit 102b receives an input of the unit price difference of the product sold to the business partner, the unit price difference acquisition unit 102b may set a record in the unit price request approval master 106c that sets the unit price difference and an approval status of "unapproved." Furthermore, when an approval instruction for the unit price difference is input, the unit price difference acquisition unit 102b may update the approval status of the record set in the unit price request approval master 106c from "unapproved" to "approved."

[0041] The unit sales price acquisition unit 102c acquires the unit sales price of the product sold for each supplier based on the supplier master data 106a, the market unit price master data 106b, the sales data, and the unit price difference. Here, the unit sales price acquisition unit 102c may acquire the unit sales price of the product sold for each supplier based on the supplier master data 106a, the market unit price master data 106b, the sales data, and the unit price difference.

Furthermore, the unit sales price acquisition unit 102c may update the sales data stored in the sales database 106d with the acquired unit sales price of the product sold.

[0042] The sales amount obtaining unit 102d obtains the sales amount of the products sold to the customer based on the sales data and the unit sales price. Here, the sales amount obtaining unit 102d may obtain the sales amount of the products sold to the customer based on the sales data and the unit sales price. The sales amount obtaining unit 102d may also display unit sales price simulation table data that sets the sales department, customer, sales date, products sold, sales quantity, and sales amount. The sales amount obtaining unit 102d may also display the monthly total sales quantity and monthly total sales amount of each product sold for each sales department based on the unit sales price simulation table data. The sales amount obtaining unit 102d may also update the sales data stored in the sales database 106d with the obtained sales amounts of the products sold.

[0043] [3. Specific Examples] A specific example of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0044] [Fuel oil sales unit price management processing] An example of fuel oil sales unit price management processing in this embodiment will now be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of processing by the fuel oil sales unit price management device 100 in this embodiment.

[0045] 6, when a sales record is made in each field department, the master setting unit 102a registers the sales data in the sales database 106d by linking the sales department, the customer, the sales date, the sold product, and the sales quantity (step SA-1). For example, in this embodiment, the sales data may be registered in each department.

[0046] Then, when a sales representative inputs a unit price difference, which is the difference between the sales unit price of the product sold to a business partner and the market unit price, via the input device 112, the unit price difference acquisition unit 102b sets a record in which the unit price difference and an approval status of "unapproved" are set in the unit price application approval master 106c (step SA-2). For example, in this embodiment, a sales representative may register and apply for a unit price difference, which is the difference from the market unit price, for each customer.

[0047] Then, when the sales manager inputs an approval instruction for the unit price difference via the input device 112, the unit price difference acquisition unit 102b updates the approval status of the record set in the unit price application approval master 106c from unapproved to approved (step SA-3). For example, in this embodiment, the sales manager may approve the application content.

[0048] Then, when the master setting unit 102a downloads the results of the petroleum product price survey published weekly by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, it sets a record corresponding to the survey results in the market unit price master 106b (step SA-4). For example, in this embodiment, a list of the survey results of the petroleum product price survey published weekly by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy may be downloaded, and the market unit prices may be acquired.

[0049] Then, based on the sales data and unit price difference stored in the supplier master 106a, the market unit price master 106b, and the sales database 106d, the sales unit price acquisition unit 102c acquires the sales unit price of the product sold for each supplier by adding the unit price difference to the market unit price for the supplier's region for the week having the week number set in the supplier master 106a for the month including the sales date (step SA-5). For example, in this embodiment, the unit price for each customer may be calculated from the unit price difference and the market unit price in the customer unit price calculation process.

[0050] Then, the sales amount acquisition unit 102d acquires the sales amount of the product sold to the business partner based on the sales quantity stored in the sales database 106d and the sales unit price of the product acquired by the sales unit price acquisition unit 102c (step SA-6).

[0051] The sales amount obtaining unit 102d then displays on the output device 114 the sales price simulation table data, which sets the sales department, customer, sales date, sales item, sales quantity, and sales amount, and further displays on the output device 114 the monthly sales performance data, which sets the sales department, sales month, sales item, and monthly total sales quantity and monthly total sales amount of each sales item for each sales department, based on the sales price simulation table data (step SA-7), and then ends the processing. For example, in this embodiment, the sales performance for each department may be confirmed by multiplying the sales quantity by the latest unit price.

[0052] An example of the fuel oil sales unit price management process in this embodiment will now be described with reference to Figures 7 to 10. Figures 7 to 10 are diagrams showing an example of the fuel oil sales unit price management process in this embodiment.

[0053] As shown in FIG. 7, in this embodiment, when a sales representative registers the unit price difference (unit price increase / decrease) for a product for each customer, the unit price difference and the approval status of "unapproved" are set in the unit price application approval master 106c (step SB-1).

[0054] Then, as shown in FIG. 7, in this embodiment, if the superior checks and approves the application content, the approval status set in the unit price application approval master 106c is updated from unapproved to approved (step SB-2).

[0055] As shown in Figure 8, in this embodiment, as a market unit price import process, Excel (registered trademark) data of the list of survey results of the petroleum product price survey downloaded from the website of the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy is imported, and the market unit price master 106b is updated (step SB-3).

[0056] As shown in FIG. 9, in this embodiment, in calculating the customer unit price, the customer unit price (sales price) is calculated based on the conditions in the supplier master 106a, the market unit price master 106b, and the unit price difference (step SB-4).

[0057] 10, in this embodiment, the sales amount is calculated from the latest unit price in the unit price simulation table and is compiled by department, and a sales performance report at the latest unit price is output (step SB-5). That is, in this embodiment, in the unit sales price simulation spreadsheet step (1), the market unit price is reacquired from the master and the sales amount is recalculated, and in the unit sales price simulation spreadsheet step (2), the details calculated in the unit sales price simulation spreadsheet step (1) may be compiled by month, by department, and by product.

[0058] [4. Contribution to the United Nations-led Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)] This embodiment can contribute to improving business efficiency and promoting appropriate management decisions by companies, thereby contributing to the achievement of SDGs Goals 8 and 9.

[0059] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to reducing waste and promoting paperless and electronic systems, thereby contributing to the achievement of SDGs Goals 12, 13, and 15.

[0060] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to strengthening control and governance, which can contribute to the achievement of Goal 16 of the SDGs.
