Further, the journal entry creation unit 102c may create sales journal entry data for the sales amount in terms of slip units of the store on the sales date, where the credit account is the transaction account, based on the transaction category-specific account master 106d and the sales data. Additionally, the journal entry creation unit 102c may create transaction journal entry data for the store on the sales date based on the transfer journal entry data and the sales journal entry data. Also, the journal entry creation unit 102c may create transfer journal entry data for the billed amount by currency type of the store on the sales date, where the debit account is the transfer destination account, and transfer journal entry data for the excess or deficiency amount of the store on the sales date, where the debit account is the transfer destination account, based on the settlement transfer data. Moreover, when the currency set in the store sales daily report data is a collection agency and there is an incoming payment from the billing destination that is a collection agency, the journal entry creation unit 102c may create collection agency journal entry data for the incoming payment amount from the billing destination, where the credit account is the transfer destination account. Also, when the currency set in the store sales daily report data is an incoming payment from a commercial facility and there is an incoming payment from the commercial facility, the journal entry creation unit 102c may create commercial facility journal entry data for the incoming payment amount from the commercial facility, where the credit account is the transfer destination account. Further, the debit account of the sales journal entry data may be a temporary account. Also, the credit account of the transfer journal entry data may be a temporary account.

[0047] [3. Specific Example] A specific example of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 15.

[0048] [Accounts Receivable Management Process] Here, referring to FIG. 6, an example of the sales claim management process in the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the process of the sales claim management apparatus 100 in the present embodiment.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 6, the sales acquisition unit 102a acquires sales data in which a store, a slip, a sales date, a sales amount, and a transaction category are associated and set (step SA-1).

[0050] Then, the journal creation unit 102c creates journal data for the sales amount of each store slip on the sales date, where the debit account is a temporary account and the credit account is a transaction account, based on the transaction-category-specific account master 106d and the sales data (step SA-2).

[0051] Then, after the store's business hours, the store sales daily report acquisition unit 102b calculates the total sales amount of the store on the sales date based on the sales data, and acquires store sales daily report data in which the claim amount by currency type and the total amount of the claim amount are set for the store on the sales date (step SA-3).

[0052] Then, the store sales daily report acquisition unit 102b determines whether there is a difference between the total sales amount and the total amount (step SA-4).

[0053] Then, when the store sales daily report acquisition unit 102b determines that there is no difference between the total sales amount and the total amount (step SA-4: No), the process proceeds to step SA-5.

[0054] Then, the store sales daily report acquisition unit 102b acquires settlement transfer data in which a store, a sales date, a currency type, a claim amount, a payee, and a transfer destination account are associated and set based on the currency master 106b and the store sales daily report data (step SA-5).

[0055] Then, based on the transfer settlement data, the journal entry creation unit 102c creates transfer journal entry data for the billed amounts by currency type of the store on the sales date, where the debit account is the transfer destination account and the credit account is the temporary account (step SA-6), and transfers the process to step SA-9.

[0056] On the other hand, when the store sales date report acquisition unit 102b determines that there is a difference between the total sales amount and the total amount (step SA-4: Yes), it transfers the process to step SA-7.

[0057] Then, the store sales date report acquisition unit 102b acquires settlement transfer data in which the store, sales date, currency type, billed amount, billing destination, and transfer destination account are associated and set based on the currency master 106b and the store sales date report data, and settlement transfer data in which the store, sales date, currency type, excess / deficiency amount, billing destination, and transfer destination account are associated and set (step SA-7).

[0058] Then, based on the settlement transfer data, the journal entry creation unit 102c creates transfer journal entry data for the billed amounts by currency type of the store on the sales date, where the debit account is the transfer destination account and the credit account is the temporary account, and transfer journal entry data for the excess / deficiency amounts of the store on the sales date, where the debit account is the transfer destination account and the credit account is the temporary account (step SA-8), and transfers the process to step SA-9.

[0059] Then, based on the transfer journal entry data and the sales journal entry data, the journal entry creation unit 102c creates transaction journal entry data for the store on the sales date (step SA-9) and ends the process.

[0060] Here, with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9, an example (pattern 1) of the accounts receivable management process in the present embodiment will be described. FIGS. 7 to 9 are diagrams showing an example of the accounts receivable management process in the present embodiment.

[0061] As shown in FIG. 7, in the present embodiment, at the time of customer service in the store, sales data is registered in units of one transaction (one slip unit). Note that the sales data registration in the present embodiment may be sales input to the system or data import from a POS (Point Of Sales). And, as shown in FIG. 7, in the present embodiment, from the store set in the sales data, the creditor's account item of the store master 106a is set as the debit account item, the transaction type classification account item master 106d is referred to from the transaction type set in the sales data, and the credit account item is specified.

[0062] And, as shown in FIG. 8, in the present embodiment, at the time of closing the store, registration by settlement method is input to the daily sales report based on journal data, etc., and the settlement method other than cash is transferred to the specified account based on the registered data, the sales amount is totaled from the data of the specified store and sales date from the sales data, and the total amount is displayed as the total sales amount. Here, in the present embodiment, all currency types may be manually input, and all currency types registered in the store-specific currency type master 106c as the currency types that can be handled in the store may be initially displayed with a claim amount of 0 yen. Note that in the present embodiment, each time the claim amount is input, the difference between the total sales amount and the total of the specified transfer amount may be displayed. Also, in the present embodiment, when the difference is other than 0, it is set as not registrable as an error. Also, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, at the time of finalizing the daily sales report, a transfer journal is created based on the screen data and each master. Here, in the present embodiment, the transfer destination account item is derived from the account item associated with the currency type set in the currency type master 106b, the claim destination is derived from the currency type set in the currency type master 106b, and if it cannot be derived, it is set from the store master 106a, and the settlement transfer source account item may be set from the creditor's account item associated with the store set in the store master 106a. Thus, in the present embodiment, transfer journal data is created from the settlement transfer data.

[0063] Then, as shown in FIG. 9, in this embodiment, the journal entries regarding the transactions of the day that occurred at the store are finally created, and for future creditor management, the balance management is carried out for the creditor's items. And, as shown in FIG. 9, in this embodiment, when there is a transfer of sales amount from the store staff, the journal entry is registered and the balance of the store cash is reduced.

[0064] Also, with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11, an example (pattern 2) of the accounts receivable management process in this embodiment will be described. FIGS. 10 and 11 are diagrams showing an example of the accounts receivable management process in this embodiment.

[0065] As shown in FIG. 10, in this embodiment, when sales data is registered, originally, a daily report of a total of 800,000 yen should be recorded, but since it does not match the cash in the store, it is registered in the "Cash over / short" column of the currency type column. And, as shown in FIG. 11, in this embodiment, journal entries are created from the sales data and the settlement transfer data. Here, in this embodiment, also in the journal entry data of miscellaneous losses, the debit account and the credit account are derived from the store master 106a or the currency type master 106b in the same way as other currency types.

[0066] Also, with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13, an example (pattern 3: collection agency) of the accounts receivable management process in this embodiment will be described. FIGS. 12 and 13 are diagrams showing an example of the accounts receivable management process in this embodiment.

[0067] As shown in FIG. 12, in this embodiment, when sales data is registered, in the store sales daily report, the amount deposited with the collection agency on that day is registered in the collection agency column. And, as shown in FIG. 13, in this embodiment, journal entries are created from the sales data and the settlement transfer data and are managed as accounts receivable from the collection agency. And, as shown in FIG. 13, in this embodiment, when there is a transfer from the collection agency, the journal entry is registered and the balance of the accounts receivable is reduced.

[0068] Also, with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15, an example of the sales claim management process (Pattern 4: Payment from commercial facilities) in the present embodiment will be described. FIGS. 14 and 15 are diagrams showing an example of the sales claim management process in the present embodiment.

[0069] As shown in FIG. 14, in the present embodiment, when sales data is registered, for stores where there is payment from commercial facilities, all card payments and IC payments, etc. are transferred to the commercial facilities, and finally the amount reported as sales is transferred from the commercial facilities. Therefore, the sales become accounts receivable to the commercial facilities, and the billing destination is derived from the store master 106a. Then, as shown in FIG. 15, in the present embodiment, journal entries are created from the sales data and the settlement transfer data, and are managed as accounts receivable to the billing destination set in the store master 106a. And, as shown in FIG. 15, in the present embodiment, when there is a transfer from the commercial facility at a later date, a journal entry is registered and the balance of the accounts receivable is reduced.
