[0021] The storage unit 106 stores various databases, tables, files, etc. A computer program for giving instructions to the CPU (Central Processing Unit) to perform various processes in cooperation with the OS (Operating System) is recorded in the storage unit 106. As the storage unit 106, for example, a memory device such as a RAM (Random Access Memory)·ROM (Read Only Memory), a fixed disk device such as a hard disk, a flexible disk, and an optical disk can be used.

[0022] The storage unit 106 stores order data 106a (corresponding to the order data of the present invention), complementary item master 106b (corresponding to the first setting data of the present invention), business flow complementary master 106c (corresponding to the second setting data of the present invention), customer master 106d, and product master 106e, etc.

[0023] For the data structure of the order data 106a and a specific example of the information (item values) held in the order data 106a, refer to FIG. 2. Note that the transaction classification is a classification for identifying the shipping form of the product. Also, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the order data 106a has at least the information (item values) related to the complementary items (corresponding to the items to be complemented in the present invention) unregistered and at least the information (item values) related to the complementary conditions (corresponding to the complementary confirmation items in the present invention) registered. Here, the complementary item is an item to be complemented with information. The items positioned as complementary items may be, for example, the transaction classification, the supplier, or the warehouse. The complementary condition is an item to be confirmed when complementing the information related to the complementary item in the order data 106a. The items positioned as complementary conditions may be, for example, the department, the customer, or the delivery destination.

[0024] For the data structure of the complementary item master 106b and a specific example of the information (item values) set in the complementary item master 106b, refer to FIG. 2. Note that the complementary classification is a classification for identifying whether the information (item values) related to the item titled "complementary item" is related to the complementary condition or the complementary item.

[0025] For the data structure of the business flow complementary master 106c and a specific example of the information (item values) set in the business flow complementary master 106c, refer to FIG. 2. Note that the item titled "complementary condition 1" means the department linked to the complementary condition and No. 1 in the complementary item master 106b. The item titled "complementary condition 2" means the customer linked to the complementary condition and No. 2 in the complementary item master 106b. The item titled "complementary condition 3" means the delivery destination linked to the complementary condition and No. 3 in the complementary item master 106b.

[0026] For the data structures of the customer master 106d and the product master 106e and specific examples of the information (item values) set in the customer master 106d and the product master 106e, refer to FIG. 3.

[0027] Returning to FIG. 1, the control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that comprehensively controls the registration business support apparatus 100. The control unit 102 has an internal memory for storing control programs such as an OS, programs defining various processing procedures, and required data, and executes various information processes based on these stored programs.

[0028] Conceptually in terms of functions, the control unit 102 includes a complementing unit 102a (corresponding to the complementing means of the present invention) and a registration unit 102b, etc.

[0029] The complementing unit 102a executes a confirmation (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "match confirmation") as to whether the information (item value) set in the business flow complement master 106c can be regarded as matching the information (item value) held by the order data 106a with respect to the complement conditions set in the complement item master 106b. When it is confirmed that they can be regarded as matching, the complementing unit 102a stores (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "complement process") the information (item value) related to the complement item set in the business flow complement master 106c into the area for holding the information (item value) related to the complement item set in the complement item master 106b that the order data 106a has.

[0030] Note that the complementing unit 102a may execute the match confirmation in order from the complement conditions with higher priority, and execute the complement process when it is confirmed that all can be regarded as matching. Also, when it is confirmed that all can be regarded as matching, the complementing unit 102a may execute the complement process for each area for holding the information related to each complement item set in the complement item master 106b that the order data 106a has.

[0031] Specific examples of the processes executed by the complementing unit 102a will be described in detail in [2. Specific examples of processes] below.

[0032] The registration unit 102b refers to the customer master 106d and the product master 106e, and stores the information related to the billing destination and the information related to the specifications in the order data 106a after the process by the complementing unit 102a. Specific examples of the processes executed by the registration unit 102b will be described in detail in [2. Specific examples of processes] below.

[0033] [Specific Examples of Processing] Here, specific examples of the processing executed by the registration business support apparatus 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

[0034] (Step S1: Completion Processing (see FIG. 2)) First, the completion unit 102a specifies records in the completion item master 106b where the item value of the item "completion classification" is "completion condition" (step S11). In this description, it is assumed that a total of 3 records are specified.

[0035] Next, the completion unit 102a acquires one record to be processed from the order data 106a according to a predetermined criterion (for example, in ascending order of the item value of the item "slip number") (step S12). In this description, it is assumed that a record with the item value of the item "slip number" being "T001" is acquired.

[0036] Next, based on the records specified in step S11 and the record to be processed acquired in step S12, the completion unit 102a executes the following extraction process in order from the record with the smallest item value of the item "priority order", and specifies a record in the business flow completion master 106c in which the item value to be complemented for the record to be processed acquired in step S12 is set (step S13). In this description, it is assumed that a total of 3 records with the item value of the item "business flow completion No." being "6" are extracted.

[0037] First, for the item value "department" of the item "completion item" in the record with the item value of the item "priority order" being "1", the completion unit 102a extracts from the business flow completion master 106c, "records where the item value of the item 'completion condition 1' matches the item value 'Tokyo' of the item 'department' in the record to be processed acquired in step S12" and "records where the item value of the item 'completion condition 1' is blank (NULL)" (in other words, records regarded as matching the item value 'Tokyo' of the item 'department' in the acquired record to be processed) (step S131). In this description, it is assumed that a total of 24 records with the item value of the item "business flow completion No." being "1", "3" to "9" are extracted.

[0038] Next, for the item value "customer" of the "complementary item" in the record where the item value of the "priority" item is "2", the complementary unit 102a extracts from the records extracted in step S131, "records where the item value of the 'complementary condition 2' is the same as the item value 'Company A' of the 'customer' item in the record to be processed obtained in step S12" and "records where the item value of the 'complementary condition 2' is blank (NULL)" (in other words, records regarded as being the same as the item value 'Company A' of the 'customer' item in the record to be processed obtained). (Step S132). In this description, it is assumed that a total of 21 records with the item value of the "business flow complement No" being "1", "3", "5" to "9" are extracted.

[0039] Next, for the item value "supplier" of the "complementary item" in the record where the item value of the "priority" item is "3", the complementary unit 102a extracts from the records extracted in step S132, "records where the item value of the 'complementary condition 3' is the same as the item value 'XX Factory' of the'supplier' item in the record to be processed obtained in step S12" and "records where the item value of the 'complementary condition 3' is blank (NULL)" (in other words, records regarded as being the same as the item value 'XX Factory' of the'supplier' item in the record to be processed obtained). (Step S133). In this description, it is assumed that a total of 3 records with the item value of the "business flow complement No" being "6" are extracted.

[0040] Then, the complementary unit 102a identifies the records in the complementary item master 106b where the item value of the "complementary classification" item is "complementary item". (Step S14). In this description, it is assumed that a total of 3 records are identified.

[0041] Next, the complementing unit 102a extracts pairs of the item value of the "Complementary Item" item and the item value of the "Complementary Item Value" item from the record identified in step S13 and the record identified in step S14 according to the condition that the item value of the "Complementary Item No" item and the item value of the "Item No" item are the same (step S15). In this description, it is assumed that the pair of the item value "Transaction Type" of the "Complementary Item" item and the item value "Inventory Shipment" of the "Complementary Item Value" item, the pair of the item value "Supplier" of the "Complementary Item" item and the item value "FFF" of the "Complementary Item Value" item, and the pair of the item value "Warehouse" of the "Complementary Item" item and the item value "Warehouse (1)" of the "Complementary Item Value" item are extracted.

[0042] Next, the complementing unit 102a stores the item value of the "Complementary Item Value" item included in each pair extracted in step S15 as the item value of the item corresponding to the item value of the "Complementary Item" item included in each pair extracted in step S15 in the record to be processed acquired in step S12 (step S16). In this description, it is assumed that in the record to be processed acquired in step S12, "Inventory Shipment" is stored as the item value of the "Transaction Type" item, "FFF" is stored as the item value of the "Supplier" item, and "Warehouse (1)" is stored as the item value of the "Warehouse" item.

[0043] Then, the complementing unit 102a repeatedly executes the above-described process until no record is acquired in step S12. In this description, as shown in FIG. 2, it is assumed that for all three records in the order data 106a, the item values of the "Transaction Type", "Supplier", and "Warehouse" items are stored.

[0044] (Step S2: Registration Process) The registration unit 102b stores the item value of the billing destination using the customer name in the customer master 106d as a key for each record in the order data 106a after the process of step S1 described above, and stores information related to the specifications using the product name in the product master 106e as a key. In this description, as shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed that for all three records in the order data 106a, the item values of the "Billing Destination" and "Planning" items are stored.

[0045] [Summary of this Embodiment] In order registration, many companies determine the business flow and suppliers depending on the customers with orders and the delivery destinations. However, in conventional order registration, since the operator (person) determines the registration details, there have been problems such as the time cost required for the determination, the occurrence of judgment errors, and the difficulty of succeeding the business to a new operator.

[0046] Therefore, in this embodiment, by developing a function to complement the item values in the order data according to conditions at the time of order registration, assistance to the operator at the time of order registration is realized. In addition, the registration business support device 100 is extremely useful particularly in companies with a large number of order registrations or companies that require determination of the business flow at the time of order registration because there are multiple suppliers.
