DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[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] For example, in the construction industry, budgets are generally prepared for each project (hereinafter referred to as "PJ") and income and expenditures are managed. In order to manage income and expenditures by project, cost details are linked to each project, but at the end of the month, work occurs to transfer costs according to the progress of the construction work.

[0019] However, in the past, when issuing a transfer slip, it was not possible to specify the source slip, which led to the following issues: (1) Because it was not possible to specify the source slip, it was not clear how much could be transferred when transferring costs. (2) Because transfer slips were recorded without specifying the source slip, there were no upper or lower limits on transfer costs, and they could be recorded freely. This meant that the basis for incurred costs became unclear, which could be pointed out during an audit. (3) Even if the recipient slip was checked, there was no information on the source of the costs, making it impossible to check later.

[0020] Therefore, in this embodiment, by specifying the source project and accrual slip and using that accrual slip to transfer costs to the destination project, the basis for the cost transfer is made clear, which can be effectively utilized in audit responses, etc. Also, in this embodiment, cost transfers can be made by dividing the amount or quantity, and balance management after the cost transfer can be made.

[0021] The cost transfer system of the present invention can be widely applied to industries such as construction work and IT media, where costs are managed on a project (item) basis.

[0022] [2. Configuration] An example of the configuration of a cost transfer system 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the cost transfer system 100.

[0023] The cost transfer system 100 is a commercially available desktop personal computer. Note that the cost transfer system 100 is not limited to a stationary information processing device such as a desktop personal computer, but may also be a portable information processing device such as a commercially available notebook personal computer, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), smartphone, or tablet personal computer.

[0024] The cost transfer system 100 comprises a control unit 102, a communication interface unit 104, a memory unit 106, and an input / output interface unit 108.

[0032] The purchase data may include a purchase number, a line number, a project number, a project name, a purchase date, a product, a cost item classification, a quantity, a unit price, and an amount.

[0033] The expense accounting data may include an expense accounting number, a line number, a project number, a project name, an accounting date, an expense item, a cost item classification, a quantity, a unit price, and an amount.

[0034] The transfer detail data may include transfer number, line number, project number, project name, transfer date, product, cost item classification, quantity, unit price, and amount.

[0035] The cost accounting detail data may include cost transfer number, transfer date, debit department, debit project number, debit order number-line number, debit account item, debit amount, credit department, credit project number, credit order number-line number, credit account item, and credit amount.

[0036] The cost transfer data may include a cost transfer number, a document number-line number, a transfer source project number, a transfer source order number-line number, a cost item classification, a transfer quantity, and a transfer amount.

[0037] The journal data may include the date of occurrence, debit department, debit account, debit amount, debit project number-order number-line number, credit department, credit account, credit amount, credit project number-order number-line number.

[0038] Returning to Fig. 1, the control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that performs overall control of the cost transfer system 100. The control unit 102 has an internal memory for storing control programs such as an OS, programs that define various processing procedures, required data, etc., and executes various information processing operations based on these stored programs.

[0039] The control unit 102 is configured to be able to access the cost item classification master 106a, the data table 106b, and the like stored in the storage unit 106. The cost item classification master 106a and the data table 106b may be provided in another location (for example, the server 200) as long as the control unit 102 is able to access them.

[0040] The control unit 102 has, in terms of functional concept, a contract data input unit 102a, a cost occurrence data input unit 102b, a cost transfer unit 102c, a journal entry creation unit 102d, a master maintenance unit 102e, and a screen display control unit 102f.

[0041] The contract data input unit 102a inputs contract data including the project number, order number, department, order date, and contract amount in response to, for example, the operator's operations on an input screen (not shown) displayed on the monitor 114, and registers the data in the data table 106b.

[0042] The cost occurrence data input unit 102b inputs and registers cost occurrence data, including cost occurrence identification information, project number, cost occurrence date, expense item, cost item classification, quantity, unit price, and cost amount that is the incurred cost, in the data table 106b in response to, for example, an operator's operation on an input screen (not shown) displayed on the monitor 114. The cost occurrence data may include purchase data, expense data, or transfer detail data.

[0043] The cost transfer unit 102c, for example, specifies the source and destination project numbers in response to operator operations on a cost transfer input screen displayed on the monitor 114, displays cost transfer target details corresponding to the cost occurrence data that meets the specified extraction conditions, specifies the cost occurrence identification information of the transfer target in the cost transfer target details, transfers the transferable portion of the incurred costs, creates cost accounting detail data including the cost transfer number, transfer date, destination debit project number, debit order number, debit account item, debit amount that is the transfer amount, source credit project number, credit order number, credit account item, and credit amount, and registers this in data table 106b.

[0044] The cost transfer item may be configured so that it can be transferred in monetary units or quantity units.

[0046] When transferring by quantity, part or all of the transferable quantity, which is the remaining quantity in the incurred costs, may be specified as the transfer quantity in the cost transfer target details.

[0047] The cost transfer unit 102c may further create cost transfer data including a cost transfer number, cost occurrence identification information, transfer source project number, transfer source order number, cost item classification, and transfer amount, and register the data in the data table 106b.

[0048] The journal entry creating unit 102d creates journal entry data based on the cost appropriation detail data and registers it in the data table 106b.

[0049] The master maintenance unit 102e performs settings such as inputting, adding, changing, and updating data in the cost item classification master 106a, for example, in response to an operator's operation on a master maintenance screen (not shown) displayed on the monitor 114.

[0050] The screen display control unit 102f controls the display of various screens (for example, a cost transfer input screen, a master maintenance screen, etc.) displayed on the monitor 114 and the inputs thereto.

[0051] [3. Specific Examples] A specific example of the processing performed by the control unit 102 of the cost transfer system 100 in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0058] The cost transfer item may be configured to allow transfers in monetary units or quantity units. When transferring in monetary units, part or all of the transferable amount, which is the balance of the incurred costs, may be specified as the transfer amount in the cost transfer item. When transferring in quantity units, part or all of the transferable quantity, which is the balance of the incurred costs, may be specified as the transfer quantity in the cost transfer item.

[0059] The cost transfer unit 102c may further create cost transfer data including a cost transfer number, cost occurrence identification information, transfer source project number, transfer source order number, cost item classification, and transfer amount, and register the data in the data table 106b.

[0060] The journal entry creating unit 102d executes a journal entry creating process (step S4). Specifically, in the journal entry creating process, the journal entry creating unit 102d creates journal entry data based on the cost appropriation detail data and registers the journal entry data in the data table 106b.

[0061] (3-2. Sample data) 4 to 14 are diagrams showing sample data for explaining a specific example of the processing by the control unit 102 of the cost transfer system 100 in this embodiment. A specific example of the processing by the control unit 102 of the cost transfer system 100 in this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 to 14. The following is an example where it is assumed that the cost to be used for a specific project has not been decided at the time of cost recording, and the cost is recorded for each specific project, and then transferred to each project that actually occurred at the end of the month.

[0062] (S1: Contract data entry process) A specific example of the contract data input process will be described with reference to Fig. 4. The contract data input unit 102a inputs contract data including the project number, order number, department, order date, and contract amount in response to, for example, an operator's operation on an input screen (not shown) displayed on the monitor 114, and registers the data in the data table 106b.

[0067] 5(C) is a diagram showing an example of transfer detail data. The transfer detail data has the following fields: transfer number, line number, project number, project name, transfer date, product, cost item classification, quantity, unit price, and amount.

[0068] In the following example, a case where cost transfer is performed for purchase data as cost occurrence data will be explained as an example, but cost transfer may also be performed for expense appropriation data or transfer detail data.

[0069] (S3: Cost transfer processing) A specific example of cost transfer processing will be described with reference to Figures 6 to 13. For example, the cost transfer unit 102c, in response to an operator's operation on a cost transfer input screen displayed on the monitor 114, specifies the project numbers of the transfer source and the transfer destination, displays cost transfer target details corresponding to the cost occurrence data that meets the specified extraction conditions, specifies the cost occurrence identification information of the transfer target in the cost transfer target details, transfers the transferable portion of the incurred costs, creates cost accounting detail data including the cost transfer number, transfer date, the debit project number of the transfer destination, the debit order number, the debit account item, the debit amount that is the transfer amount, the credit project number of the transfer source, the credit order number, the credit account item, and the credit amount, and registers this data in the data table 106b. The cost transfer target details are configured so that transfers can be switched between monetary units and quantity units.

[0070] (When transferring costs from Order Number: JU0001 to Order Number: JU0002) This section explains the cost transfer from Order Number: JU0001 (Project Number: PJ0001) to Order Number: JU0002 (Project Number: PJ0002) in two cases: 1. when it is done in monetary units, and 2. when it is done in quantity units.

[0071] (1. When transferring money in monetary units) A case where a transfer is performed in monetary units will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG. 6 shows an example of a cost transfer input screen 400. The cost transfer input screen 400 includes a header area 401 for specifying the cost transfer number, cost transfer date, source project number, source order number line, source business establishment, source department, destination project number, destination order number line, destination business establishment, and destination department; a cost transfer area 402 for specifying extraction conditions such as document type, accounting date, business partner, and cost item, and displaying cost transfer details for cost occurrence data that meet the extraction conditions; and a register button (not shown). Pressing the register button (not shown) generates cost accounting detail data and cost transfer data according to the input contents on the screen and registers them in data table 106b.

[0072] In the cost transfer area 402, it is possible to switch between cost transfers in monetary units or quantity units. In the example shown in Figure 6, monetary units have been selected. The cost transfer target details display the following items: target checkbox to specify the transfer target, document number-line number, document type, posting date, business partner, expense item (product), cost account classification, incurred cost, transferred amount, transferable amount, transfer amount, and balance.

[0073] "Incurred cost" is the amount of costs incurred, and is the amount in the purchase data. "Transferred cost" is the amount that has been transferred, and is the total amount of transfers other than for self-vouchers. "Transfer amount" is the amount to be transferred this time, and is the value entered as the transfer amount on the screen. If incurred cost - transferred cost - transfer amount < 0, an error will occur as the transfer amount is insufficient. "Balance" is the balance (amount that can be transferred) for incurred costs, and is calculated as follows: incurred cost - transferred cost - transfer amount. Balance = amount in purchase data - total amount of transfers other than for self-vouchers - transfer amount entered as the transfer amount on the screen.

[0074] The document number, line number, document type, accounting date, business partner, expense item (product), cost account classification, incurred cost, transferred amount, transferable amount, and balance (the hatched area in the figure) are automatically calculated and displayed, and the operator selects the target details using the target checkboxes and enters the transfer amount.

[0075] In the example shown in the same figure, the header area 401 specifies the cost transfer number "GH001", cost transfer date "2022 / 07 / 30", source project number "PJ0001", source order number-line "JU0001-1", source business office "J001 Head Office", source department "B001, First Construction Department", destination project number "PJ0002", destination order number-line "JU0002-1", destination business office "J001 Head Office", and destination department "B002 Second Construction Department", and the cost is transferred from source project number "PJ0001" to destination project number "PJ0002".

[0076] In the cost transfer area 402, the slip type "Purchase Data" and the accounting date "2022 / 07 / 01-2022 / 07 / 30" are specified as extraction conditions, and the cost transfer details display data corresponding to the purchase data. Of the transferable amount "10,000" on the first line, "4,000" is transferred in monetary units. In addition, the transferable amount "30,000" on the third line and the transferable amount "50,000" on the fourth line are transferred in full monetary units.

[0077] When a registration button (not shown) is pressed, cost appropriation detail data as shown in FIG. 7(A) and cost transfer data as shown in FIG. 7(B) are created and stored in the data table 106b.

[0078] 7A is a diagram showing an example of cost accounting detail data. The cost accounting detail data has the following fields: cost transfer number, transfer date, debit department, debit project number, debit order number-line number, debit account item, debit amount, credit department, credit project number, credit order number-line number, credit account item, and credit amount. In the example shown in the figure, the first line has the cost transfer number "GH001," transfer date "2022 / 07 / 30," debit department "B002," debit project number "PJ0002," debit order number-line number "JU0002-1," debit account item "Materials cost," debit amount "4,000," credit department "B001," credit project number "PJ0001," credit order number-line number "JU0001-1," credit account item "Materials cost," and credit amount "4,000."

[0079] Figure 7(B) is a diagram showing an example of cost transfer data. The cost transfer data has the following fields: cost transfer number, slip number-line number, transfer source project number, transfer source order number-line number, project cost item classification, transfer quantity, and transfer amount. In the example shown in the figure, the first line contains the cost transfer number "GH001," slip number-line number "SI001-1," transfer source project number "PJ0001," transfer source order number-line number "JU0001-1," project cost item classification "main material cost," transfer quantity "0," and transfer amount "4,000."

[0080] By retaining the voucher number of the cost-transferred item in the cost transfer data, an error is generated when the original voucher (for example, purchase data) is modified or deleted because the voucher has already been transferred.

[0081] (2. When transferring by quantity unit) A case where transfer is performed in quantity units will be described with reference to Fig. 8 and Fig. 9. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing a display example of a cost transfer input screen 400. In Fig. 8, the data in the header area 401 is the same as in Fig. 6.

[0082] The quantity unit is selected in the cost transfer area 402. The cost transfer target details display the following items: target checkbox to specify the transfer target, document number-line number, document type, posting date, business partner, expense item (product), cost account classification, unit price, quantity, number transferred, number available for transfer, transfer quantity, incurred cost, transferred amount, available amount for transfer, transfer amount, and balance.

[0083] Here, "Quantity" is the quantity for which costs have been incurred, and is the quantity in the purchase data. "Transferred Quantity" is the quantity for which transfer has been completed, and is the total of the transferred quantities other than those in the self-document. "Transferred Quantity" is the quantity to be transferred this time, and is the value of the transfer quantity input on the screen. If Quantity - Transferred Quantity - Transfer Quantity < 0, an error will occur as there is not enough quantity available for transfer. "Remaining Quantity" is the remaining quantity (quantity available for transfer) in the incurred costs, and is calculated as Quantity - Transferred Quantity - Transfer Quantity. Remaining Quantity = Quantity in the purchase data - Total of the transferred quantities other than those in the self-document - Transfer Quantity input on the screen.

[0084] The document number, line number, document type, accounting date, business partner, expense item (product), cost account classification, unit price, quantity, number transferred, number available for transfer, incurred cost, transferred amount, transferable amount, transfer amount, and balance (hatched area in Figure 8) are automatically calculated and displayed. Hatched areas cannot be entered. The operator specifies the target details using the target checkboxes and enters the transfer quantity. Note that if the transfer has been made in monetary units, it cannot be transferred in quantitative units (displayed as hatched).

[0085] In the example shown in the figure, in the cost transfer area 402, the slip type "Purchase Data" and the accounting date "2022 / 07 / 01-2022 / 07 / 30" are specified as extraction conditions, and data corresponding to the purchase data is displayed in the cost transfer target details. In this example, of the transferable quantity "20" in the second line, "6" is partially transferred in quantity units. Since transfer input has already been made in monetary units for lines 1, 3, and 4, transfer in quantity units is not possible. By internally storing the unit in which the transfer is being made for the cost transfer target, control is exercised to prevent transfer of the same details with different units.

[0086] When a registration button (not shown) is pressed, cost appropriation detail data as shown in FIG. 9(A) and cost transfer data as shown in FIG. 9(B) are created and stored in the data table 106b.

[0087] Figure 9(A) is a diagram showing an example of cost accounting detail data. In the example shown in the figure, the cost transfer number is "GH001," the transfer date is "2022 / 07 / 30," the debit department is "B002," the debit project number is "PJ0002," the debit order number-line number is "JU0002-1," the debit account item is "materials cost," the debit amount is "12,000," the credit department is "B001," the credit project number is "PJ0001," the credit order number-line number is "JU0001-1," the credit account item is "materials cost," and the credit amount is "12,000."

[0088] Figure 9(B) shows an example of cost transfer data. In the example shown in the figure, the cost transfer number is "GH001", document number-line number is "SI001-1", transfer source project number is "PJ0001", transfer source order number-line number is "JU0001-1", cost item classification is "main material cost", transfer quantity is "6", and transfer amount is "4,000".

[0089] (When transferring costs from Order Number: JU0001 to Order Number: JU0003) This section explains the cost transfer from Order Number: JU0001 (Project Number: PJ0001) to Order Number: JU0003 (Project Number: PJ0003) in two cases: 1. when it is done in monetary units, and 2. when it is done in quantity units.

[0090] (1. When transferring money in monetary units) A case where a transfer is made in monetary units will be described with reference to Figures 10 and 11. Figure 10 is a diagram showing a display example of a cost transfer input screen 400. In the example shown in the figure, the header area 401 specifies the cost transfer number "GH002," the cost transfer date "2022 / 07 / 30," the source project number "PJ0001," the source order number-line "JU0001-1," the source business office "J001 Head Office," the source department "B001, First Construction Department," the destination project number "PJ0003," the destination order number-line "JU0003-1," the destination business office "J003 Head Office," and the destination department "B003 Third Construction Department." A cost transfer is made from the source project number "PJ0001" to the destination project number "PJ0003."

[0091] Additionally, monetary units are selected in the cost transfer area 402. The document type "Purchase Data" and the posting dates "2022 / 07 / 01 - 2022 / 07 / 30" are specified as extraction conditions, and data corresponding to the purchase data is displayed in the cost transfer target details. Of the transferable amount of "6,000" in the first line, "2,500" is being partially transferred in monetary units. Furthermore, the second line has already been transferred in the previous quantity unit, and the third and fourth lines have already been transferred in full, so transfers are not possible. As mentioned above, by internally storing the unit used for the transfer of cost transfer targets, control is exercised to prevent transfers of the same details with different units.

[0092] When a registration button (not shown) is pressed, cost appropriation detail data as shown in FIG. 11(A) and cost transfer data as shown in FIG. 12(B) are created and stored in the data table 106b.

[0093] 11(A) is a diagram showing an example of cost accounting detail data. In the example shown in the figure, the first line has the cost transfer number "GH002," transfer date "2022 / 07 / 30," debit department "B003," debit project number "PJ0003," debit order number-line number "JU0003-1," debit account item "Materials Cost," debit amount "2,500," credit department "B001," credit project number "PJ0001," credit order number-line number "JU0001-1," credit account item "Materials Cost," and credit amount "2,500."

[0094] Figure 11(B) shows an example of cost transfer data. In the example shown in the figure, the first line contains the cost transfer number "GH002," document number-line number "SI001-1," transfer source project number "PJ0001," transfer source order number-line number "JU0001-1," cost item classification "main material cost," transfer quantity "0," and transfer amount "2,500."

[0095] (2. When transferring by quantity unit) A case where transfer is performed in quantity units will be described with reference to Figures 12 and 13. Figure 12 is a diagram showing a display example of a cost transfer input screen 400. In Figure 12, the data in the header area 401 is the same as in Figure 10.

[0096] In the cost transfer area 402, the quantity unit is selected. The slip type "Purchase data" and the accounting date "2022 / 07 / 01-2022 / 07 / 30" are specified as extraction conditions, and the cost transfer target details display data corresponding to the purchase data that meets the extraction conditions. In this example, of the transferable quantity "14" in the second line, "5" is being partially transferred in quantity units.

[0097] When a registration button (not shown) is pressed, cost appropriation detail data as shown in FIG. 13(A) and cost transfer data as shown in FIG. 13(B) are created and stored in the data table 106b.

[0098] Figure 13(A) is a diagram showing an example of cost accounting detail data. In the example shown in the figure, the cost transfer number is "GH002," the transfer date is "2022 / 07 / 30," the debit department is "B003," the debit project number is "PJ0003," the debit order number-line number is "JU0003-1," the debit account item is "materials cost," the debit amount is "10,000," the credit department is "B001," the credit project number is "PJ0001," the credit order number-line number is "JU0001-1," the credit account item is "materials cost," and the credit amount is "10,000."

[0099] Figure 13(B) shows an example of cost transfer data. In the example shown in the figure, the cost transfer number is "GH002," the slip number-line number is "SI002-1," the transfer source project number is "PJ0001," the transfer source order number-line number is "JU0001-1," the cost item classification is "main material cost," the transfer quantity is "5," and the transfer amount is "10,000."

[0100] (S4: Journal entry creation process) A specific example of the journal entry creation process will be described with reference to Fig. 14. The journal entry creation unit 102d creates journal entry data based on the cost appropriation detail data and registers it in the data table 106b.

[0101] 14 is a diagram showing an example of journal data. The journal data has the following fields: occurrence date, debit department, debit account item, debit amount, debit project number-order number-line number, credit department, credit account item, credit amount, credit project number-order number-line number. In the example shown in the figure, the first line has the following: occurrence date "2022 / 07 / 30", debit department "B002", debit account item "material cost", debit amount "4,000", debit project number-order number-line number "PJ0002-JU0002-1", credit department "B001", credit account item "material cost", credit amount "4,000", and credit project number-order number-line number "PJ0001-JU0001-1".

[0102] As described above, according to this embodiment, the cost transfer input screen displayed on the monitor 114 allows the operator to specify the source and destination project numbers in response to operations, and also displays cost transfer target details corresponding to the cost occurrence data that meets the specified extraction conditions, specifies the cost occurrence identification information of the transfer target in the cost transfer target details, transfers the transferable portion of the incurred costs, and is equipped with a cost transfer unit 102c that creates cost accounting detail data including the cost transfer number, transfer date, destination debit project number, debit order number, debit account item, debit amount that is the transfer amount, source credit project number, credit order number, credit account item, and credit amount.Therefore, by specifying the source project and occurrence voucher and transferring costs to the destination project using the occurrence voucher, it becomes possible to clarify the basis for the cost transfer.
