[0025] The movement data 106j is data for managing the movement of materials used in construction work. The movement data 106j includes a movement number, a movement line number, a movement category, a warehouse, a product, a quantity, a unit price, an amount, a project number, a contract number, and a contract line number.

[0026] The control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that performs overall control of the business support device 100. The control unit 102 has an internal memory for storing control programs such as an OS, programs that define various processing procedures, and required data, and executes various information processing based on these stored programs. The control unit 102 conceptually includes a first data generation unit 102a, a first journalization information generation unit 102b, a second data generation unit 102c, and a second journalization information generation unit 102d.

[0027] The first data generating unit 102a as a first data generating means generates purchase data 106g and movement data 106j as first data including the name, quantity, and unit price of the materials moved to the construction site.

[0028] The first journal information generating unit 102b as a first journal information generating means generates journal information 502 and journal information 507, which will be described later, as first journal information, based on the purchase data 106g or the transfer data 106j.

[0029] The second data generating unit 102c as a second data generating means generates movement processing data 106i and movement data 106j as second data including the name, quantity, and unit price of the materials that have been moved to and used at the construction site.

[0030] A second journal information generating unit 102d serving as a second journal information generating means generates journal information 503 and journal information 508, which will be described later, as second journal information based on the transfer data 106j.

[0031] [2. Specific examples of processing] Here, a specific example of the process executed by the business support device 100 will be described with reference to Fig. 3 to Fig. 11. In the following description, a process performed by the business support device 100 when a construction company signs a contract for a construction project and materials are input from the construction company's warehouse to a construction site for the construction project, and a process performed by the business support device 100 when materials are input directly to the construction site without going through the warehouse will be described.

[0032] First, a process performed by the business support device 100 when materials are input from a construction contractor's warehouse to a construction site will be described. When a construction contractor signs a contract for construction work, an operator operates the input device 112 to generate contract data 106f for managing the contract.

[0033] For example, when an operator operates the input device 112 to register the contract name of a construction contract on a screen for registering a construction contract displayed on the monitor 114, the business support device 100 stores the contract name "XX construction contract", the construction type "construction", the PJ number "PJ00000001", the contract number "PJJUC00001", and the contract line number "001" in the first line of the contract data 106f, as shown in FIG. 3. The data in the first line of the contract data 106f is data corresponding to the contract to be registered. For convenience of explanation, the data in the first line of the contract data 106f may be referred to as a contract for construction management. The PJ number "PJ00000001" in the first line of the contract data 106f is a number uniquely assigned to the contract to be registered. The contract number "PJJUC00001" in the first line of the contract data 106f is a number uniquely assigned to the contract for construction management.

[0034] Furthermore, the business support device 100 stores the contract name "XX construction contract (site inventory management)", construction type "site inventory", PJ number "PJ00000001", contract number "PJJUC00002", and contract line number "001" in the second line of the contract data 106f. The data in the second line of the contract data 106f is data used to manage the on-site inventory of materials used in the construction work related to the contract. For ease of explanation, the data in the second line of the contract data 106f may be referred to as a contract for on-site inventory management. The contract number "PJJUC00002" is a number uniquely assigned to a contract for on-site inventory management.

[0035] When materials are to be delivered from a warehouse to a construction site for a construction project related to a contract, the operator registers the materials to be used in the construction project in the task support device 100, and generates purchase data 106g and inventory data 106h. Specifically, when delivering materials from the construction contractor's warehouse to the construction site, the operator operates the input device 112, specifies "warehouse purchase" as the purchase category on a screen for registering materials to be used in the construction project displayed on the monitor 114, and inputs the name of the warehouse where the materials are stored, the product name, quantity, and unit price of the materials.

[0036] For example, when "warehouse purchase" is specified as the purchase category, "warehouse A" as the warehouse name, "material A" as the product name, "500" as the quantity, and "100 yen" as the unit price are input, the business support device 100 stores the purchase number "SII0000001", purchase line number "001", purchase category "warehouse purchase", product "material A", quantity "500", unit price "100", and amount "50,000" in the purchase data 106g, as shown in Fig. 4. The amount "50,000" is calculated by multiplying the quantity "500" by the unit price "100". The business support device 100 also stores the warehouse "warehouse A", product "material A", and quantity "500" in the inventory data 106h in association with each other. In addition, when "warehouse purchase" is specified as the purchase category, "warehouse A" is input as the warehouse name, "material B" as the product name, "500" as the quantity, and "200 yen" as the unit price, the business support device 100 stores the purchase number "SII0000001", the purchase line number "002", the purchase category "warehouse purchase", the product "material B", the quantity "500", the unit price "200", and the amount "100,000" in the purchase data 106g, as shown in Fig. 4. The amount "100,000" is calculated by multiplying the quantity "500" by the unit price "200". In addition, the business support device 100 stores the warehouse "warehouse A", the product "material B", and the quantity "500" in the inventory data 106h in association with each other. At this point, since the construction work to be used for materials A and B has not been decided, the project number, contract number, and contract line number of the purchase data 106g are not registered.

[0037] Here, when the operator performs accounting operations for the "XX construction contract" on the business support device 100, the business support device 100 determines the debit account by referring to the product master 106a and the transaction category-specific product account master 106c, because the purchase data 106g does not contain the project number and contract number at this point.

[0038] For example, the business support device 100 refers to the product master 106a for the product "material A" from the first line of the purchase data 106g, acquires the product code "S001" of "material A", and acquires the account item "material (inventory)" by referring to the transaction category-specific product item master 106c with the input category "purchase", the transaction category "warehouse purchase" of the first line, and the acquired product code "S001". Also, the business support device 100 refers to the product master 106a for the product "material B" from the second line of the purchase data 106g, acquires the product code "S002" of "material B", and acquires the account item "material (inventory)" by referring to the transaction category-specific product item master 106c with the input category "purchase", the transaction category "warehouse purchase" of the second line, and the acquired product code "S002". The business support device 100 generates the journal information 501 shown in FIG. 4 based on the purchase data 106g and the acquired account items.

[0039] Next, when materials A and B are sent from warehouse A to the construction site for a construction project with a contract name "XX Construction Project Contract", the operator operates input device 112 to register the movement of materials A and B in the task support device 100. Here, the operator operates input device 112 to input the contract name of the construction project, the material movement processing category, the product name of the material to be moved from the warehouse to be used in the construction project, and the quantity of the material to be moved on the screen for registering the movement of materials displayed on monitor 114.

[0040] For example, when an operator inputs "XX construction contract" as the contract name, "on-site input" as the transfer processing category, "material A" as the product name, and "100" as the quantity through the input device 112, the business support device 100 stores the transfer processing number "IDS0000001", the transfer processing row number "001", the transfer processing category "on-site input", the product "material A", the quantity "100", the unit price "100", the amount "10,000", and the transfer number 1 "IDO0000001" in the transfer processing data 106i as shown in FIG. 5. In addition, since 100 units of material A are transferred from warehouse A, the business support device 100 updates the quantity of the product "material A" to "400" in the inventory data 106h. In addition, the business support device 100 updates the first row of the transfer source column of the transfer processing data 106i to "warehouse A" where the material was stored. In addition, the business support device 100 references the contract data 106f with the input contract name "XX construction contract" to obtain the PJ number "PJ00000001" and the contract number "PJJUC00002", and stores the obtained PJ number and contract number in the PJ number column and contract number column in the first row of the destination column of the transfer processing data 106i.

[0041] In addition, when the operator inputs "XX construction contract" as the contract name, "on-site input" as the transfer processing category, "material B" as the product name, and "200" as the quantity, the business support device 100 stores the transfer processing number "IDS0000001", the transfer processing row number "002", the transfer processing category "on-site input", the product "material B", the quantity "200", the unit price "200", the amount "40,000", and the transfer number "IDO0000001" in the transfer processing data 106i as shown in FIG. 5. In addition, since 200 units of material B are transferred from warehouse A, the business support device 100 updates the quantity of the product "material B" to "300" in the inventory data 106h. In addition, the business support device 100 updates the second row of the transfer source column of the transfer processing data 106i to "warehouse A" where the material was stored. In addition, the business support device 100 references the contract data 106f with the input contract name "XX construction contract" to obtain the PJ number "PJ00000001" and the contract number "PJJUC00002", and stores the obtained PJ number and contract number in the PJ number column and contract number column in the second row of the destination column of the transfer processing data 106i.

[0042] The business support device 100 determines the transfer number 1 and transfer number 2 of the transfer process data 106i according to the transfer process category designated by the operator. When "on-site input" is designated as the transfer process category, the business support device 100 determines one transfer number for one voucher, updates the column for transfer number 1 with the same transfer number, and generates transfer data 106j for journal entry generation that transfers materials from the warehouse, which is the transfer source, to the inventory management contract, which is the transfer destination, for the updated transfer number 1. As described above, when "on-site input" is entered as the transfer process category, the business support device 100 generates the transfer data 106j shown in FIG. 5.

[0043] Here, when the operator performs the accounting operation for the "XX construction contract" on the business support device 100, the business support device 100 first determines the credit account. For example, the business support device 100 acquires the product code "S001" of "material A" from the first line of the movement data 106j by referring to the product master 106a for the product "material A", and acquires the account item "material (inventory)" by referring to the transaction category-specific product account master 106c for the input category "movement", transaction category "contract input", and acquired product code "S001". In addition, the business support device 100 acquires the product code "S002" of "material B" from the second line of the movement data 106j by referring to the product master 106a for the product "material B", and acquires the account item "material (inventory)" by referring to the transaction category-specific product account master 106c for the input category "movement", transaction category "contract input", and acquired product code "S002".

[0044] Next, the business support device 100 determines the debit item. For example, the business support device 100 acquires the project cost item category "G001" of the item "material A" from the first line of the movement data 106j by referring to the product master 106a for the item "material A". The business support device 100 acquires the construction type "site inventory" from the first line of the movement data 106j by referring to the contract data 106f for the contract number "PJJUC00002", and acquires the business category "Z002" from the acquired construction type "site inventory" by referring to the construction type master 106b. The business support device 100 determines the account category "material (site inventory)" from the acquired project cost item category "G001" and the acquired business category "Z002" by referring to the project cost item category breakdown master 106e.

[0045] The business support device 100 also references the product master 106a for the product "materials B" from the second line of the movement data 106j to acquire the project cost item category "G002" for "materials B". The business support device 100 references the contract data 106f for the contract number "PJJUC00002" from the second line of the movement data 106j to acquire the construction type "site inventory", and references the construction type master 106b for the acquired construction type to acquire the business category "Z002". The business support device 100 references the project cost item category breakdown master 106e for the acquired project cost item category "G002" and the acquired business category "Z002" to determine the account category "materials (site inventory)". The business support device 100 generates the journal information 502 shown in FIG. 5 based on the movement data 106j and the acquired account category.

[0046] Next, for a construction project with a contract name "XX Construction Project Contract", when materials A and B sent to the construction site are used at the construction site, the operator operates the input device 112 to register the movement of materials A and B in the business support device 100. Note that, on the screen for registering the use of materials at the construction site, when the purchase category of the purchase data 106g is "warehouse purchase", for example, a display screen 601 shown in FIG. 6, which displays the stock of the material's source based on the movement processing data 106i, is displayed on the monitor 114, and the stock of materials not used at the construction site can be confirmed.

[0047] Here, the operator operates the input device 112 to input the construction contract name, the material transfer processing category, the product name of the material used in the construction, and the quantity of the material to be transferred on the screen for registering the material transfer displayed on the monitor 114. For example, when the operator inputs "XX Construction Contract" as the contract name, "Cost Input" as the transfer processing category, "Material A" as the product name, and "50" as the quantity, the business support device 100 updates the record of the transfer processing row number "001" in the transfer processing data 106i to "Cost Input", quantity "50", amount "5,000", transfer number 1 "IDO0000002", and transfer number 2 "IDO0000003", as shown in Fig. 7. The business support device 100 also refers to the data of the contract for on-site inventory management in the contract data 106f related to the input contract name "XX construction contract", acquires the PJ number "PJ00000001" and the contract number "PJJUC00002", and stores the acquired PJ number and contract number in the PJ number column and the contract number column of the first row of the source column of the transfer processing data 106i. The business support device 100 also refers to the data of the contract for construction management in the contract data 106f related to the input contract name "XX construction contract", acquires the PJ number "PJ00000001" and the contract number "PJJUC00001", and stores the acquired PJ number and contract number in the PJ number column and the contract number column of the first row of the destination column of the transfer processing data 106i.

[0048] Also, when the operator inputs "XX construction contract" as the contract name, "cost input" as the transfer processing category, "material B" as the product name, and "100" as the quantity, the business support device 100 updates the record of the transfer processing row number "002" in the transfer processing data 106i to "cost input", quantity "100", amount "20,000", transfer number 1 "IDO0000004", and transfer number 2 "IDO0000005" as shown in Fig. 7. Also, the business support device 100 acquires the PJ number "PJ00000001" and the contract number "PJJUC00002" by referring to the data of the contract for on-site inventory management in the contract data 106f related to the input contract name "XX construction contract", and stores the acquired PJ number and contract number in the PJ number column and the contract number column of the second row of the transfer source column of the transfer processing data 106i. In addition, the business support device 100 references the data of the construction management contract in the contract data 106f related to the input contract name "XX Construction Contract" to obtain the PJ number "PJ00000001" and the contract number "PJJUC00001", and stores the obtained PJ number and contract number in the PJ number column and contract number column in the second row of the destination column of the transfer processing data 106i.

[0049] The business support device 100 determines the transfer number 1 and the transfer number 2 of the transfer processing data 106i according to the transfer processing category designated by the operator. When "cost input" is designated as the transfer processing category, the business support device 100 determines two transfer numbers for one slip, stores one in the transfer number 1 column, and stores the other in the transfer number 2 column.

[0050] As shown in Figure 7, the business support device 100 generates transfer data 106j that includes data for generating an accounting entry to transfer materials from the source contract to the dummy warehouse for the updated transfer number 1, and data for generating an accounting entry to transfer materials from the dummy warehouse to the destination contract for the updated transfer number 2.

[0051] Here, when the operator performs the accounting operation for the "XX construction contract" on the business support device 100, the business support device 100 first determines the credit account. For example, the business support device 100 acquires the product code "S001" of "material A" by referring to the product master 106a for the product "material A" from the first line of the movement data 106j, and acquires the account item "material (inventory)" by referring to the transaction category-specific product account master 106c with the input category "movement", transaction category "contract input", and the acquired product code "S001". Also, the business support device 100 acquires the product code "S001" of "material A" by referring to the product master 106a for the product "material A" from the second line of the movement data 106j, and acquires the account item "material (inventory)" by referring to the transaction category-specific product account master 106c with the input category "movement", transaction category "contract input", and the acquired product code "S001".

[0052] The business support device 100 references the product master 106a for the product "material B" from the third line of the movement data 106j, acquires the product code "S002" of "material B", and acquires the account item "materials (inventory)" by referencing the transaction category-by-product-item master 106c with the input category "movement", transaction category "contract input", and the acquired product code "S002". Also, the business support device 100 references the product master 106a for the product "material B" from the fourth line of the movement data 106j, acquires the product code "S002" of "material B", and acquires the account item "materials (inventory)" by referencing the transaction category-by-product-item master 106c with the input category "movement", transaction category "contract input", and the acquired product code "S002".

[0053] Next, the business support device 100 determines the debit item. From the first line of the movement data 106j, the business support device 100 references the product master 106a for the product "material A" to obtain the project cost item category "G001" for "material A". From the first line of the movement data 106j, the business support device 100 references the contract data 106f for the contract number "PJJUC00002" to obtain the construction type "site inventory", and references the construction type master 106b for the obtained construction type to obtain the business category "Z002". The business support device 100 references the project cost item category breakdown master 106e for the obtained project cost item category "G001" and the obtained business category "Z002" to determine the account category "materials (site inventory)".

[0054] The business support device 100 references the product master 106a for the product "materials B" from the third line of the movement data 106j to obtain the project cost item category "G002" for "materials B". The business support device 100 references the contract data 106f for the contract number "PJJUC00002" from the third line of the movement data 106j to obtain the work type "site inventory", and references the work type master 106b for the obtained work type to obtain the business category "Z002". The business support device 100 references the project cost item category breakdown master 106e for the obtained project cost item category "G002" and the obtained business category "Z002" to determine the account category "materials (site inventory)".

[0055] The business support device 100 acquires the project cost item category "G001" of the item "material A" from the second line of the movement data 106j by referring to the product master 106a for the item "material A". The business support device 100 acquires the construction type "construction" from the second line of the movement data 106j by referring to the contract data 106f for the contract number "PJJUC00001", and acquires the business category "Z001" from the construction type acquired by referring to the construction type master 106b. The business support device 100 acquires the project cost item category "G001" acquired and the business category "Z001" acquired by referring to the project cost item category breakdown master 106e. Here, since the project cost item category breakdown master 106e does not have a combination of the project cost item category "G001" and the business category "Z001", the project cost item category "G001" is acquired by referring to the project cost item category master 106d.

[0056] The business support device 100 acquires the project cost item category "G002" of the item "material B" from the fourth line of the movement data 106j by referring to the product master 106a for the item "material B". The business support device 100 acquires the construction type "construction" from the fourth line of the movement data 106j by referring to the contract data 106f for the contract number "PJJUC00001", and acquires the business category "Z001" from the construction type acquired by referring to the construction type master 106b. The business support device 100 acquires the project cost item category "G002" acquired and the business category "Z001" acquired by referring to the project cost item category breakdown master 106e. Here, since the project cost item category breakdown master 106e does not have a combination of the project cost item category "G002" and the business category "Z001", the project cost item category "G002" is acquired by referring to the project cost item category master 106d and the project cost item category "G002" is acquired.

[0057] The business support device 100 generates the journal information 503 shown in FIG. 7 based on the transfer data 106j and the acquired account item. Specifically, the business support device 100 generates the journal information 504 shown in FIG. 8 for the acquired account item "materials (inventory)" and the account item "materials (site inventory)" based on the first line (first detail) and the third line (third detail) of the transfer data 106j, and generates the journal information 505 by reversing the debit and credit of the journal information 504. In addition, the business support device 100 generates the journal information 506 shown in FIG. 8 for the acquired account item "materials (inventory)" and the account item "uncompleted construction expenditure" based on the second line (second detail) and the fourth line (fourth detail) of the transfer data 106j. The business support device 100 combines the journal information 505 and the journal information 506 to offset the amount of materials (inventory) and generates the journal information 503.

[0058] Next, a process performed by the task support device 100 when materials are directly input to a construction site without going through a warehouse will be described. When a construction contractor signs a contract for construction work, the operator generates contract data 106f for managing the contract by operating the input device 112. Here, the contract data 106f shown in FIG. 3 is generated in the same manner as when materials are input from the construction contractor's warehouse to the construction site.

[0059] For construction work related to a contract, when materials are directly input to the construction site without going through a warehouse, the operator registers the materials to be used in the construction work in the task support device 100 and generates purchase data 106g. Specifically, when materials are directly input to the construction site, the operator operates the input device 112 to specify the name of the construction work on a screen for registering materials to be used in the construction work displayed on the monitor 114, specify "direct purchase from site" as the purchase category, and input the product name, quantity, and unit price of the materials to be input.

[0060] For example, when "XX Construction Contract" is specified as the construction name, "Direct on-site purchase" is specified as the purchase category, "Material A" as the product name, "500" as the quantity, and "100 yen" as the unit price are input, the business support device 100 stores the purchase number "SII0000001," purchase line number "001," purchase category "Direct on-site purchase," product "Material A," quantity "500," unit price "100," and amount "50,000" in the purchase data 106g, as shown in Fig. 9. The amount "50,000" is calculated by multiplying the quantity "500" and the unit price "100."

[0061] In addition, when "XX Construction Contract" is specified as the construction name, "On-site Direct Purchase" is specified as the purchase category, "Material B" as the product name, "500" as the quantity, and "200 yen" as the unit price are input, the business support device 100 stores the purchase number "SII0000001", the purchase line number "002", the purchase category "On-site Direct Purchase", the product "Material B", the quantity "500", the unit price "200", and the amount "100,000" in the purchase data 106g as shown in FIG. 9. The amount "100,000" is calculated by multiplying the quantity "500" and the unit price "200". The business support device 100 acquires the PJ number and the contract number of the purchase data 106g by referring to the contract data 106f using the construction name "XX Construction Contract", and stores the acquired numbers.

[0062] Here, when an operator performs accounting operations for the "XX construction contract" on the business support device 100, if the PJ number and contract number are stored in the purchase data 106g, the business support device 100 determines the debit item by referring to the product master 106a, construction type master 106b, project cost item category master 106d, and project cost item category breakdown master 106e.

[0063] For example, the business support device 100 acquires the project cost item category "G001" of the product "material A" from the first line of the purchase data 106g by referring to the product master 106a for "material A". Also, the business support device 100 acquires the construction type "site inventory" from the first line of the purchase data 106g by referring to the contract data 106f for the project number "PJ00000001" and the contract number "PJJUC00002", and acquires the business category "Z002" by referring to the construction type master 106b for the acquired construction type. Next, the business support device 100 acquires the account category "material (site inventory)" by referring to the project cost item category breakdown master 106e for the acquired project cost item category "G001" and the acquired business category "Z002".

[0064] The business support device 100 acquires the project cost item category "G002" of the product "material B" from the second line of the purchase data 106g by referring to the product master 106a for the product "material B". Also, the business support device 100 acquires the construction type "site stock" from the second line of the purchase data 106g by referring to the contract data 106f for the PJ number "PJ00000001" and the contract number "PJJUC00002", and acquires the business category "Z002" by referring to the construction type master 106b for the acquired construction type. Next, the business support device 100 acquires the account category "material (site stock)" by referring to the project cost item category breakdown master 106e for the acquired project cost item category "G002" and the business category "Z002". The business support device 100 generates the journal information 507 shown in FIG. 9 based on the purchase data 106g and the acquired account category.

[0065] Next, for a construction project with a contract name "XX Construction Project Contract", when materials A and B sent to the construction site are used at the construction site, the operator operates the input device 112 to register the movement of materials A and B in the business support device 100. Note that, on the screen for registering the use of materials at the construction site, when the purchase category of the purchase data 106g is "direct purchase from site", a display screen 602 shown in FIG. 10, which displays, for example, the inventory of the material's source based on the purchase data 106g, is displayed on the monitor 114, and the operator can check the inventory of materials not used at the construction site.

[0066] Here, the operator operates the input device 112 to input the construction contract name, the material transfer processing category, the product name of the material used in the construction, and the quantity of the material to be transferred on the screen for registering the material transfer displayed on the monitor 114. For example, when the operator inputs "XX Construction Contract" as the contract name, "cost input" as the transfer processing category, "material A" as the product name, and "50" as the quantity, the business support device 100 updates the record of the transfer processing row number "001" in the transfer processing data 106i to "cost input", quantity "50", amount "5,000", transfer number 1 "IDO0000001", and transfer number 2 "IDO0000002", as shown in Fig. 11. The business support device 100 also refers to the data of the contract for on-site inventory management in the contract data 106f related to the input contract name "XX construction contract", acquires the PJ number "PJ00000001" and the contract number "PJJUC00002", and stores the acquired PJ number and contract number in the PJ number column and the contract number column of the first row of the source column of the transfer processing data 106i. The business support device 100 also refers to the data of the contract for construction management in the contract data 106f related to the input contract name "XX construction contract", acquires the PJ number "PJ00000001" and the contract number "PJJUC00001", and stores the acquired PJ number and contract number in the PJ number column and the contract number column of the first row of the destination column of the transfer processing data 106i.

[0067] Also, when the operator inputs "XX construction contract" as the contract name, "cost input" as the transfer processing category, "material B" as the product name, and "100" as the quantity, the business support device 100 updates the record of the transfer processing row number "002" in the transfer processing data 106i with the transfer processing category "cost input", the quantity "100", the amount "20,000", the transfer number 1 "IDO0000003", and the transfer number 2 "IDO0000004" as shown in Fig. 11. Also, the business support device 100 acquires the PJ number "PJ00000001" and the contract number "PJJUC00002" by referring to the data of the contract for on-site inventory management in the contract data 106f related to the input contract name "XX construction contract", and stores the acquired PJ number and contract number in the PJ number column and the contract number column of the second row of the transfer source column of the transfer processing data 106i. In addition, the business support device 100 references the data of the construction management contract in the contract data 106f related to the input contract name "XX construction contract" to obtain the PJ number "PJ00000001" and the contract number "PJJUC00001", and stores the obtained PJ number and contract number in the PJ number column and contract number column in the second row of the destination column of the transfer processing data 106i.

[0068] As shown in FIG. 11 , the business support device 100 generates transfer data 106j including data for generating an accounting entry to transfer materials from the source contract to the dummy warehouse for the updated transfer number 1, and data for generating an accounting entry to transfer materials from the dummy warehouse to the destination contract for the updated transfer number 2.

[0069] Here, when the operator performs an accounting operation for the "XX construction contract" on the business support device 100, the business support device 100 determines the credit and debit items in the same way as when materials are brought from a warehouse to a construction site, and generates the accounting information 508 shown in Fig. 11 based on the movement data 106j and the acquired credit and debit items. The generation of the accounting information 508 is the same as when materials are brought from a warehouse to a construction site, so a description thereof will be omitted.

[0070] [3. Effects of the embodiment] According to the business support device 100 of the embodiment, materials inputted to a construction site are treated as on-site inventory, and when the materials are used at the construction site, they can be recorded as uncompleted construction expenditures from the on-site inventory at cost. Also, if materials at the construction site, including unused materials, are treated as uncompleted construction expenditures, the construction site inventory cannot be managed properly, but according to the business support device 100, the number of materials not used in construction at the construction site can be known, and material inventory management can be performed properly.
