[0019] [1. Overview] First, an overview of the present invention will be described.

[0020] Previously, when sales discounts needed to be calculated separately for each item and consumption tax rate, manual input led to errors. Also, previously, when inputting discounts separately for each department, the details were printed separately on the invoice, leading to a sense of unfairness in that the discounts were recorded for the department with the highest sales.

[0021] Therefore, in this embodiment, a mechanism is provided in which discounts are created for each department where original sales occur, and even if sales are made in multiple departments, discounts are created for each discount recording department. In addition, in this embodiment, a mechanism is provided in which the discount rate can be set for each item, and by making it possible to set it for each item, the discount rate can be changed for each item such as transportation costs, labor costs, storage fees, and highway fees. In addition, in this embodiment, a mechanism is provided in which the consumption tax rate of the discount for each tax rate of the original sales can also be created separately, that is, a discount for sales with a consumption tax of 8% can be calculated at a consumption tax rate of 8%, and a discount for sales with a consumption tax of 10% can be calculated at a consumption tax rate of 10%. In addition, in this embodiment, a mechanism is provided in which the details of the sales discounts created separately for each discount recording department are not relevant to the billing destination, and the details are totaled and printed on the invoice. However, in this embodiment, a mechanism is provided in which, when the tax rate of the discount target amount is different, the tax rate is printed separately on the invoice.

[0061] Here, an example of discount management processing in this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 9 to 13. Figure 9 is a diagram showing an example of discount management processing in this embodiment.

[0062] As shown in FIG. 9, in this embodiment, a billing destination master 106a is set based on input by the user via billing destination master maintenance (e.g., billing destination name), an item master 106b is set based on input by the user via item master maintenance (e.g., item name), an item name master 106c is set based on input by the user via item name master maintenance (e.g., item name) and the item master 106b, a department master 106d is set based on input by the user via department master maintenance (e.g., department name), and a billing destination-by-item-by-item discount rate master 106e is set based on input by the user via billing destination-by-item-by-discount rate master maintenance (e.g., discount rate), the billing destination master 106a, the item master 106b, and the item name master 106c.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 9, in this embodiment, sales data and sales statement data are acquired by a sales recording process based on various masters.

[0064] An example of the sales recording process in this embodiment will now be described with reference to Figures 2 to 5 and 10. Figure 10 is a diagram showing an example of the sales recording process in this embodiment.

[0065] As shown in FIG. 10, in this embodiment, sales data is obtained based on the department master 106d shown in FIG. 5 and the billing destination master 106a shown in FIG. 2, and sales detail data is obtained based on the sales data, the item master 106b shown in FIG. 3, and the item name master 106c shown in FIG. 4.

[0066] Returning to FIG. 9, in this embodiment, discount data is acquired by a lump-sum discount process based on the billing-destination-item-specific discount rate master 106e and sales posting data.

[0067] Here, an example of the lump-sum discount process in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 6 and FIG.

[0068] As shown in Fig. 10, in this embodiment, discount data is acquired based on the billing destination-specific item-specific discount rate master 106e, sales data, and sales detail data shown in Fig. 6. Thus, as shown in Fig. 10, in this embodiment, when the item code of company A is vehicle-built transportation, the sales department codes are different, so two vouchers are not tallied and discount sales for two vouchers are created. Also, as shown in Fig. 10, in this embodiment, when the item code of company A is individual-built transportation, the sales department codes and consumption tax rate classification are the same, so two vouchers are tallied and discount sales for one voucher are created.

[0069] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 10, in the collective discount process in this embodiment, (1) sales that are the same as the billing code and item code of the billing-by-item discount rate master 106e shown in Fig. 6 are extracted. That is, as shown in Fig. 10, in the collective discount process in this embodiment, the "billing code" of the sales data is extracted, and the "item code" of the sales detail data is extracted, so that sales data of "sales numbers": U00001-U00004 are extracted as target data of company A with "billing code": S01, and sales data of "sales numbers": U00011-U00020 are extracted as target data of company B with "billing code": S02.

[0070] Then, as shown in FIG. 10, in the bulk discount processing in this embodiment, (2) the "sales amount" is aggregated using the "billing destination code," "sales department code," "item code," and "consumption tax rate category" of the extracted sales data as aggregation key items, and sales data is created that is the negative amount multiplied by the discount rate by billing destination and item-specific discount rate master 106e shown in FIG. 6.

[0071] That is, as shown in FIG. 10, in the bulk discount processing of this embodiment, discount data for three vouchers with "Sales Numbers": U00021-U00023 is created as a result of aggregating four vouchers with "Sales Numbers": U00001-U00004, which are the target data for Company A, whose "Billing Code" is S01, based on the "Sales Department Code," "Billing Code," and "Billing Name" of the sales data, and the "Item Code" and "Consumption Tax Rate Category" of the sales detail data. Here, as shown in FIG. 10, in this embodiment, the reason there is one less voucher for the discount data than the target data is that there is target data for "Sales Number" U00001 and U00002 that correspond to the discount data for the created "Sales Number" U00021, and because the aggregation keys are the same, they have been aggregated into one voucher. The sum of the "Net Sales Amount" of "Sales Number" U00001: 11,000 and the "Sales Amount" of "Sales Number" U00002: 12,000 is calculated as 23,000, and discount data of -2,300 is created using the formula 23,000 x (discount rate in the discount rate master 106e by billing destination and item: 10%) ÷ 100 x (-1). 10, in this embodiment, for discount data for "Sales Numbers" U00022 and U00023 of Company A, whose "Billing Code" is S01, the target data is "Sales Numbers" U00003 and U00004, and the "Sales Department Codes" are separate, so the discount data is also created separately. Also, for discount data for "Sales Numbers" U00030 and U00031 of Company B, whose "Billing Code" is S02, the target data is "Sales Numbers" U00019 and U00020, and the "Consumption Tax Rate Classifications" are separate, so the discount data is also created separately.

[0072] Then, as shown in FIG. 10, in the bulk discount processing in this embodiment, (3) the “discount target category” of the extracted sales detail data is updated from “0: normal” to “1: target”, and discount data is created with the “discount target category” set to “9: discount detail”.

[0073] Returning to FIG. 9, in this embodiment, billing details data for each billing destination is obtained based on the sales entry data and discount data, and a billing detail is printed out.

[0074] Here, an example of a billing statement in this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 11. Fig. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a billing statement in this embodiment.

[0075] As shown in Fig. 11, in this embodiment, the invoice recipient does not need to separate discount data by sales department, so the discount amount is totaled and printed on the invoice. However, as shown in Fig. 11, in this embodiment, if the tax rate of the discounted amount is different, the discount amount is printed separately.

[0076] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, in this embodiment, as the discount amount, sales detail data for "Discount target category = 1: Applicable" is extracted and printed for each "Consumption tax rate category," and as the discount amount, sales detail data for "Discount target category = 9: Discount detail" is extracted and printed for each "Consumption tax rate category."

[0077] That is, as shown in Fig. 11, in this embodiment, since only one type of "consumption tax rate category = 0:10%" data exists as "discount target category = 1: target" data for Company A, the "consumption tax rate category = 0:10%" data for "sales slip number": U00001 to U00004 is aggregated, and 50,000 is printed as the discount target amount. Also, as shown in Fig. 11, in this embodiment, since only one type of "consumption tax rate category = 0:10%" data exists as "discount target category = 9: discount details" data for Company A, the "consumption tax rate category = 0:10%" data for "sales slip number": U00021 to U00023 is aggregated, and 5,000 is printed as the discount target amount.

[0078] Also, as shown in FIG. 11, in this embodiment, the data for Company B's "discount target category = 1: target" includes three types of data for "consumption tax rate category = 0: 10%, 1: non-taxable, 8: old tax rate (8%)", so the data for "sales slip number": U00011 to U00018 with "consumption tax rate category = 0: 10%" is aggregated and 1,160,000 is printed as the discount target amount, the data for "sales slip number": U00020 with "consumption tax rate category = 8: old tax rate (8%)" is aggregated and 200,000 is printed as the discount target amount, and only the data for "sales slip number": U00019 with "consumption tax rate category = 1: non-taxable" is aggregated and 190,000 is printed as the discount target amount. Also, as shown in FIG. 11, in this embodiment, the data for Company B's "Discount target category = 9: Discount details" includes three types of data for "Consumption tax rate category = 0: 10%, 1: Non-taxable, 8: Old tax rate (8%)", so the data for "Sales slip number": U00024 to U00029 with "Consumption tax rate category = 0: 10%" is aggregated and 58,000 is printed as the discount amount, only the data for "Sales slip number": U00031 with "Consumption tax rate category = 8: Old tax rate (8%)" is aggregated and 10,000 is printed as the discount amount, and only the data for "Sales slip number": U00030 with "Consumption tax rate category = 1: Non-taxable" is aggregated and 9,500 is printed as the discount amount.

[0079] Returning to FIG. 9, in this embodiment, journal data is created based on sales recording data and discount data as journal-linked data creation processing.

[0080] Here, an example of the journal data in this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 12. Fig. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the journal data in this embodiment.

[0081] As shown in Fig. 12, in this embodiment, the discount details are prepared by the original sales department, by account item, and by consumption tax category, so that accounting journal entries can also be separated and linked. Here, as shown in Fig. 12, in this embodiment, the sales data and sales detail data are compiled by the sales department, by account item, and by consumption tax category based on the sales number, and journal entry data is prepared.

[0082] Returning to FIG. 9, in this embodiment, departmental profit and loss statement data is acquired based on the journal entry data, and a departmental profit and loss statement is printed out.

[0083] Here, an example of a departmental profit and loss statement in this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 13. Fig. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a departmental profit and loss statement in this embodiment.

[0084] As shown in Fig. 13, in this embodiment, the discount details are prepared by the original sales department, by account item, and by consumption tax category, so that the accounting system can improve the accuracy of the profit and loss by department of the discount company. Here, as shown in Fig. 13, in this embodiment, the journal data is aggregated, and since the account items of the sales amount are divided into four, the credit items are aggregated by row, and the credit department is aggregated by column and printed out.

[0085] [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 goals 8 and 9 of the SDGs.

[0086] 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.

[0087] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to strengthening control and governance, making it possible to contribute to Goal 16 of the SDGs.
