[0007] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 7072964 [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0008] Under the invoice system, it is considered acceptable to only issue invoices, but in practice, it is conceivable that individual delivery slips may also be issued as invoices.

[0009] However, if the business registration number is printed on both the invoice and the delivery note, the decision of which document to treat as the invoice is left to the recipient (the trading partner) (whether to treat the invoice as the invoice or the delivery note as the invoice). Therefore, if the trading partner treats the document they did not intend as the invoice, the issuer may be subject to penalties.

[0010] Furthermore, it is difficult for operators to determine whether or not to issue each document as an invoice and then proceed with printing it each time it is issued.

[0011] This invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a business support device, a business support method, and a business support program that can solve the above-mentioned problems by selectively issuing invoices for slips set for each trading partner. [Means for solving the problem]

[0012] To solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the objective, the business support device according to the present invention includes a detection unit that, based on the entered customer information, refers to a storage unit that stores information indicating the type of slip into which qualified invoice information, including the registration number of the business operator issuing the slip and the amount of consumption tax for each tax rate subject to the commercial transaction, is entered, and detects whether or not qualified invoice information corresponding to the type of slip to be issued has been entered; and a data generation unit that, if the slip to be issued is not a slip into which qualified invoice information is entered, generates slip data with no qualified invoice information entered, and if the slip to be issued is a slip into which qualified invoice information is entered, generates slip data with qualified invoice information entered. The system includes the following: The storage unit stores information indicating whether or not a voucher with qualified billing information has been issued; and the data generation unit generates voucher data without qualified billing information if the detection unit detects that the entered trading partner is a trading partner that does not issue vouchers with qualified billing information. .

[0013] Furthermore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the objectives, the present invention The business support method of the business support device is: A detection step in which a detection unit refers to a storage unit, which stores information indicating the type of slip into which qualified invoice information, including the registration number of the business operator issuing the slip and the amount of consumption tax for each tax rate applicable to the commercial transaction, based on the entered customer information, and detects whether or not qualified invoice information has been entered corresponding to the type of slip to be issued; and a data generation step in which a data generation unit generates slip data with no qualified invoice information entered if the slip to be issued is not a slip into which qualified invoice information is entered, and generates slip data with qualified invoice information entered if the slip to be issued is a slip into which qualified invoice information is entered. The system includes a memory unit that stores information indicating whether or not a voucher with qualified billing information has been issued. In the data generation step, if the detection unit detects that the entered trading partner is a trading partner that does not issue vouchers with qualified billing information, it generates voucher data with no qualified billing information entered.

[0014] Furthermore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the objectives, the business support program according to the present invention includes a computer, a detection unit that, based on the entered customer information, refers to a storage unit in which information indicating the type of slip into which qualified invoice information, including the registration number of the business operator issuing the slip and the amount of consumption tax for each tax rate subject to the commercial transaction, is stored for each customer, and detects whether or not qualified invoice information corresponding to the type of slip to be issued has been entered; and a data generation unit that, if the slip to be issued is not a slip into which qualified invoice information is entered, generates slip data with no qualified invoice information entered, and if the slip to be issued is a slip into which qualified invoice information is entered, generates slip data with qualified invoice information entered. The system is activated, and the memory unit stores information indicating whether or not a voucher with qualified billing information has been issued. If the detection unit detects that the entered trading partner is a trading partner that does not issue vouchers with qualified billing information, the data generation unit generates voucher data with no qualified billing information entered. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] The present invention can selectively issue invoices for vouchers set for each business partner. Therefore, when a business registration number is printed on both the invoice and the delivery note, by entrusting the receiving party (business partner) with the determination of the voucher to be treated as an invoice, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience that an unintended voucher is treated as an invoice and a penalty is applied to the issuer side.

[0016] In addition, each time an invoice is issued, it is possible to support the work of business operators by omitting the cumbersome task of determining whether the operator issues it as an invoice and performing the printing process.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0018] Hereinafter, a business support apparatus according to an embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described in detail based on the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment.

[0019] (Hardware Configuration) FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the business support apparatus 1 according to the embodiment. The business support apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a storage unit 2, a control unit 3, a communication interface unit 4, and an input / output interface unit 5. An input device 6 and an output device 7 are connected to the input / output interface unit 5. As the output device 7, a display unit such as a monitor device (including a home television) can be used. As the input device 6, in addition to a keyboard device, a mouse device, and a microphone device, a monitor device that realizes a pointing device function in cooperation with the mouse device can also be used.

[0020] The communication interface unit 4 is connected to a wide area network such as the Internet or a private network such as a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0021] As the storage unit 2, for example, a storage device such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a HDD (Hard Disk Drive), or a SSD (Solid State Drive) can be used. In the storage unit 2, a business support program that enables business support operations such as business operators is stored, and in addition, a billing destination master 11, a classification master 12, and a business operator master 13, which are each storage areas, are provided. Further, in the storage unit 2, billing data including the amount to be billed to the customer, etc., and sales data including the sales amount for each customer are stored.

[0022] Figure 2 shows an example of a billing master 11. As shown in Figure 2, the billing master 11 stores a unique billing code for each customer, a billing name, and a qualified invoice issuance category. In the example in Figure 2, the billing code for "XXXX Corporation" is "SEI0001" and the qualified invoice issuance category is "1". Also, the billing code for "△△△△ Corporation" is "SEI0002" and the qualified invoice issuance category is "2".

[0023] Figure 3 shows an example of the classification master 12. As shown in Figure 3, the classification master 12 stores the qualified invoice issuance classification and the qualified invoice issuance classification name. In the example in Figure 3, a qualified invoice issuance classification of "0" indicates that a qualified invoice will not be issued. Also in the example in Figure 3, a qualified invoice issuance classification of "1" indicates that a qualified invoice will be issued if the document is an invoice, and a qualified invoice issuance classification of "2" indicates that a qualified invoice will be issued if the document is a delivery note.

[0024] Figure 4 shows an example of a business establishment master 13. As shown in Figure 4, the business establishment master 13 stores the business establishment code, business establishment name, and registration number for businesses that issue qualified invoices. In the example in Figure 4, the business establishment code is "100", the business establishment name is "Tokyo Head Office", and the registration number is "T1234567890123".

[0025] Figure 5 is an example of billing data that stores the billing amount (excluding tax and including tax) and consumption tax amount for each billing recipient, such as "XXXX Corporation" and "△△△△ Corporation" mentioned above.

[0026] Furthermore, Figure 6 shows an example of sales invoice data for July 2022 for the aforementioned "XXXX Corporation" and "△△△△ Corporation," etc.

[0027] (Functional configuration of business support equipment) Next, the control unit 3 executes the business support program stored in the memory unit 2, and functions as a display control unit 21, acquisition unit 22, detection unit 23, data generation unit 24, memory control unit 25, and output control unit 26, as shown in Figure 1.

[0028] The display control unit 21 displays a document input screen, which is an input screen for an invoice or delivery note (not shown), via the output device 7. The acquisition unit 22 acquires the billing code of the business partner that will be the billing or delivery destination based on the displayed data on the document input screen.

[0029] The detection unit 23 refers to the billing master 11 in the storage unit 2 based on the billing code, which is the entered information about the trading partner, and detects the qualified invoice issuance category of the trading partner. The detection unit 23 also refers to the category master 12 based on the detected qualified invoice issuance category of the trading partner and detects whether a qualified invoice is issued and the type of document (invoice or delivery note) for which a qualified invoice is issued. Then, based on the type of document detected, the detection unit 23 detects whether qualified invoice information, including the registration number of the business issuing the document and the consumption tax amount for each tax rate applicable to the commercial transaction, has been entered for the document (invoice or delivery note) currently being entered.

[0030] The data generation unit 24 generates document data without qualified billing information if the document to be issued is not a document for which qualified billing information is entered, and generates document data with qualified billing information entered if the document to be issued is a document for which qualified billing information is entered.

[0031] The memory control unit 25 stores the generated slip data in the memory unit 2. The output control unit 26 controls the printing of the slips via the output device 7, which is an example of a printing device, based on the slip data.

[0032] (Invoice generation process) Such a business support device 1 determines whether qualified invoice information, including the business registration number and the consumption tax amount for each tax rate of the commercial transaction (goods or services), is entered, depending on the type of invoice to the trading partner. Based on this determination, it creates an invoice with qualified invoice information entered or an invoice without qualified invoice information entered.

[0033] Specifically, when a business operator specifies that a document should be entered via the input device 6, the display control unit 21 displays a document input screen (not shown) via the output device 7. Based on this document input screen, the business operator selects the type of document to be entered (invoice or delivery note). When the business operator selects to enter an invoice, the display control unit 21 displays an invoice input screen, as illustrated in Figure 7, via the output device 7.

[0034] Next, the business operator inputs the billing month and the billing address code, for example, "SEI0001" for "XXXX Corporation," which is the billing address. The acquisition unit 22 acquires the billing address code entered by the business operator based on the data displayed on the invoice input screen. The detection unit 23 refers to the billing address master 11 shown in Figure 2 based on the acquired billing address code and detects the qualified invoice issuance category for XXXX Corporation that corresponds to the billing address code. In this example, the qualified invoice issuance category "1" is detected.

[0035] Furthermore, the detection unit 23 refers to the classification master 12 based on the detected qualified invoice issuance classification of "1" and detects whether the qualified invoice issuance classification of "1" is a classification of a document for which a qualified invoice is issued, and the type of document for which a qualified invoice is issued. In this example, since the qualified invoice issuance classification is "1", the detection unit 23 detects that it is a qualified invoice issuance classification indicating that a qualified invoice will be issued for "Invoice".

[0036] If, after referring to the billing address master 11 based on the billing address code, there is no qualified invoice issuance category corresponding to the billing address code in the billing address master 11, the detection unit 23 detects it as a qualified invoice issuance category of "0". Then, based on this qualified invoice issuance category of "0", the detection unit 23 refers to the category master 12 shown in Figure 3. As a result, it is detected that a qualified invoice issuance category of "0" is a qualified invoice issuance category that does not issue a qualified invoice. In this case, the business support device 1 creates an invoice (or delivery note) with no qualified invoice information entered.

[0037] Furthermore, when the detection unit 23 detects that the order is a qualified invoice issuance category, it refers to the business establishment master 13 shown in Figure 4 and detects the registration number "T1234567890123" of the Tokyo Head Office (business code: 100), which is the business establishment to which the business operator belongs.

[0038] The data generation unit 24, since the document currently being created is an "invoice," retrieves the July sales data (see Figure 6) entered by the business operator from the storage unit 2 and calculates the sales consumption tax for each sales transaction based on the tax rate. In the example in Figure 6, the tax rate on the sales amount of "6,000 yen" is "0: normal tax rate (10%)", so the sales consumption tax is calculated as "600 yen". Also in the example in Figure 6, the tax rate on the sales amount of "4,000 yen" is "0: normal tax rate (10%)", so the sales consumption tax is calculated as "400 yen". Also in the example in Figure 6, the tax rate on the sales amount of "1,000 yen" is "8: reduced tax rate (8%)", so the sales consumption tax is calculated as "80 yen".

[0039] Based on these calculation results, the data generation unit 24 generates invoice data for XXXX Co., Ltd., as exemplified in the upper column of Figure 5. The data generation unit 24 also generates invoice data including this invoice data and the registration number "T1234567890123" detected by the detection unit 23 from the business master 13 shown in Figure 4.

[0040] The display control unit 21 displays the sales amount and the sales consumption tax amount for each sales amount, along with the consumption tax amount for each sales rate, on the invoice input screen, as shown in Figure 7, based on the sales data included in the slip data and the sales consumption tax amount calculated by the data generation unit 24. The display control unit 21 also displays the registration number "T1234567890123" included in the slip data on the invoice input screen.

[0041] The document data corresponding to such invoices is transmitted to the customer's terminal device by the output control unit 26, or printed by the output control unit 26 via the output device 7, which is an example of a printing device, and mailed to the customer.

[0042] Next, we will explain the process of creating an invoice with no qualified billing information entered. For example, suppose a business operator enters the billing code "SEI00002" for "△△△△ Co., Ltd." into the invoice input screen.

[0043] In this case, the acquisition unit 22 acquires the billing address code entered by the business operator based on the display data on the invoice input screen. The detection unit 23, based on the acquired billing address code, refers to the billing address master 11 shown in Figure 2 and detects the qualified invoice issuance category for △△△△ Co., Ltd. that corresponds to the billing address code. In this example, the qualified invoice issuance category "2" is detected.

[0044] Furthermore, the detection unit 23 refers to the classification master 12 based on the detected qualified invoice issuance classification of "2" and detects whether the qualified invoice issuance classification of "2" is the classification of the document for which a qualified invoice is issued, and the type of document for which a qualified invoice is issued. In this example, since the qualified invoice issuance classification is "2", the detection unit 23 detects it as a qualified invoice issuance classification indicating that a qualified invoice will be issued for the "delivery note".

[0045] In this case, the document currently being created is an "invoice". Since the system is configured to input qualified invoice information for the delivery note for "△△△△ Co., Ltd.", qualified invoice information will not be entered for the "invoice" currently being created. For this reason, the detection unit 23 does not retrieve the registration number from the business master 13 shown in Figure 4.

[0046] In this case, the data generation unit 24 calculates the net sales amount and the corresponding sales consumption tax amount for each sale based on the sales data of "△△△△ Co., Ltd." shown in Figure 6, and generates invoice data as illustrated in the lower example of Figure 5. In the example of Figure 6, the tax rate for the net sales amount of "5,000 yen" is "0: normal tax rate (10%)", so the sales consumption tax amount is calculated as "500 yen". Also in the example of Figure 6, the tax rate for the net sales amount of "2,000 yen" is "8: reduced tax rate (8%)", so the sales consumption tax amount is calculated as "160 yen".

[0047] Based on these calculation results, the data generation unit 24 generates invoice data for △△△△ Corporation, as exemplified in the lower column of Figure 6. The data generation unit 24 also generates invoice data that includes this invoice data.

[0048] The display control unit 21 displays each sales amount and the consumption tax amount for each sales amount on the invoice input screen, as shown in Figure 8, based on the sales data included in the slip data and the sales consumption tax amount calculated by the data generation unit 24. In this case, the qualified invoice information exemplified in Figure 7 is not displayed (input).

[0049] The document data corresponding to such invoices from △△△△ Corporation is transmitted to the recipient's terminal device by the output control unit 26, or printed by the output control unit 26 via the output device 7, which is an example of a printing device, and mailed to the recipient.

[0050] (Invoice generation process) Next, the process of generating a delivery slip will be explained. When a business operator specifies that a delivery slip should be entered via a slip input screen (not shown), the display control unit 21 displays the delivery slip input screen, as illustrated in Figure 9, via the output device 7.

[0051] Suppose a business operator enters the billing code "SEI00001" for "XXXX Corporation" into this delivery slip input screen. In this case, the acquisition unit 22 acquires the billing code entered by the business operator based on the data displayed on the delivery slip input screen. The detection unit 23 refers to the billing master 11 shown in Figure 2 based on the acquired billing code and detects the qualified invoice issuance category for XXXX Corporation that corresponds to the billing code. In this example, the qualified invoice issuance category "1" is detected.

[0052] Furthermore, the detection unit 23 refers to the classification master 12 based on the detected qualified invoice issuance classification of "1" and detects whether the qualified invoice issuance classification of "1" is a classification of a document for which a qualified invoice is issued, and the type of document for which a qualified invoice is issued. In this example, since the qualified invoice issuance classification is "1", the detection unit 23 detects that it is a qualified invoice issuance classification indicating that a qualified invoice will be issued for "Invoice".

[0053] In this case, the document currently being created is a "delivery note." Since the system is configured to input qualified invoice information for "XXXX Co., Ltd.," the "delivery note" currently being created is not configured to input qualified invoice information. For this reason, the detection unit 23 does not retrieve the registration number from the business master 13 shown in Figure 4.

[0054] In this case, the data generation unit 24 calculates the sales amount for each sale and the corresponding sales consumption tax amount based on the sales data of "XXXX Co., Ltd." shown in Figure 6, and generates the invoice data illustrated in the lower example of Figure 5. In the example of Figure 6, the tax rate on the sales amount of "6,000 yen" is "0: normal tax rate (10%)", so the sales consumption tax amount is calculated as "600 yen". Also, the tax rate on the sales amount of "4,000 yen" is "0: normal tax rate (10%)", so the sales consumption tax amount is calculated as "400 yen". Also, the tax rate on the sales amount of "1,000 yen" is "8: reduced tax rate (8%)", so the sales consumption tax amount is calculated as "80 yen".

[0055] The data generation unit 24 generates slip data based on these calculation results. The display control unit 21 displays each sales amount and the consumption tax amount for each sales amount on the delivery slip input screen, as shown in Figure 9. In this case, qualified invoice information is not displayed (input).

[0056] The document data corresponding to the delivery slip for such a company (XXXX Corporation) is transmitted by the output control unit 26 to the terminal device of the delivery destination, or printed by the output control unit 26 via the output device 7, which is an example of a printing device, and mailed to the delivery destination.

[0057] Next, we will explain the process of creating a delivery slip with qualified billing information entered. For example, suppose a business operator enters the billing code "SEI00002" for "△△△△ Co., Ltd." into the delivery slip input screen shown in Figure 10.

[0058] The acquisition unit 22 acquires the billing address code entered by the business operator based on the display data on the delivery slip input screen. The detection unit 23, based on the acquired billing address code, refers to the billing address master 11 shown in Figure 2 and detects the qualified invoice issuance category for △△△△ Co., Ltd. that corresponds to the billing address code. In this example, the qualified invoice issuance category "2" is detected.

[0059] Furthermore, the detection unit 23 refers to the classification master 12 based on the detected qualified invoice issuance classification of "2" and detects whether the qualified invoice issuance classification of "2" is a classification of a document for which a qualified invoice is issued, and the type of document for which a qualified invoice is issued. In this example, since the qualified invoice issuance classification is "2", the detection unit 23 detects that it is a qualified invoice issuance classification indicating that a qualified invoice will be issued for a "delivery note".

[0060] As mentioned above, if the billing address master 11 is referenced based on the billing address code, but no qualified invoice issuance category corresponding to the billing address code exists in the billing address master 11, the detection unit 23 will detect a qualified invoice issuance category of "0", and an invoice (or delivery note) will be created with no qualified billing information entered.

[0061] Furthermore, when the detection unit 23 detects that the order is a qualified invoice issuance category, it refers to the business establishment master 13 shown in Figure 4 and detects the registration number "T1234567890123" of the Tokyo Head Office (business code: 100), which is the business establishment to which the business operator belongs.

[0062] The data generation unit 24, since the currently created document is a delivery slip, retrieves the sales data for July of △△△△ Co., Ltd. (see Figure 6) entered by the business operator from the storage unit 2 and calculates the sales consumption tax for each sales transaction based on the tax rate. In the example in Figure 6, the tax rate on the sales amount of "5000 yen" is "0: normal tax rate (10%)", so the sales consumption tax is calculated as "500 yen". Also in the example in Figure 6, the tax rate on the sales amount of "2000 yen" is "8: reduced tax rate (8%)", so the sales consumption tax is calculated as "160 yen".

[0063] Based on these calculation results, the data generation unit 24 generates invoice data for △△△△ Co., Ltd., as exemplified in the lower column of Figure 5. The data generation unit 24 also generates invoice data, including this invoice data and the registration number "T1234567890123" detected by the detection unit 23 from the business establishment master 13 shown in Figure 4.

[0064] The display control unit 21 displays the sales amount and the sales consumption tax amount for each sales amount, along with the consumption tax amount for each sales rate, on the delivery slip input screen, as shown in Figure 10, based on the sales data included in the slip data and the sales consumption tax amount calculated by the data generation unit 24. The display control unit 21 also displays the registration number "T1234567890123" included in the slip data on the delivery slip input screen.

[0065] The document data corresponding to such delivery slips is transmitted to the customer's terminal device by the output control unit 26, or printed by the output control unit 26 via the output device 7, which is an example of a printing device, and mailed to the customer.

[0066] (Effects of the embodiment) As is clear from the above explanation, the business support device 1 of the embodiment can selectively issue qualified invoices for slips of a type set for each trading partner. Therefore, by printing the business registration number on both the invoice and the delivery note, the decision of which slip to treat as an invoice is left to the recipient (trading partner), preventing the inconvenience of an unintended slip being treated as an invoice and the issuer being penalized.

[0067] Furthermore, it eliminates the need for operators to manually determine whether or not to issue an invoice and then print it each time a document is issued, significantly reducing the workload of the operators.

[0068] [Contribution to the United Nations-led Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)] This embodiment can contribute to improving operational efficiency and promoting appropriate management decisions by companies, thereby contributing to SDG Goals 8 and 9.

[0069] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to reducing waste and promoting paperless and digital processes, thereby contributing to SDGs Goals 12, 13, and 15.

[0070] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to strengthening control and governance, thereby enabling contributions to SDG Goal 16.

[0071] [Other embodiments] In addition to the embodiments described above, the present invention may be implemented in various different embodiments within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims.

[0072] For example, among the processes described in the embodiments, all or part of the processes described as being performed automatically can be performed manually, or all or part of the processes described as being performed manually can be performed automatically by known methods.

[0073] Furthermore, the processing procedures, control procedures, specific names, information including parameters such as registration data and search conditions for each process, screen examples, and database configuration shown in this specification and in the drawings may be changed at will unless otherwise specified.

[0074] Furthermore, with respect to the business support device 1, each component shown in the diagram is a functional concept and does not necessarily need to be physically configured as shown.

[0075] For example, the processing functions of the business support device 1, particularly the control unit 3 and each processing function performed by the control unit 3, may be implemented in whole or in any part by a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a program interpreted and executed by the CPU, or they may be implemented as wired logic hardware. The program is recorded on a non-temporary computer-readable recording medium containing programmed instructions for causing the information processing device to execute the processing described in this embodiment, and is mechanically read by the business support device 1 as needed. That is, a storage unit such as ROM or HDD records a computer program that, in cooperation with the OS, gives instructions to the CPU and performs various processing. This computer program is executed by being loaded into RAM and, in cooperation with the CPU, constitutes the control unit 3.

[0076] Furthermore, the business support program for this business support device 1 may be stored on another server device connected to the business support device 1 via any network, and it is possible to download all or part of it as needed.

[0077] Furthermore, the business support program for executing the processing described in this embodiment may be stored on a non-temporary computer-readable recording medium, or it may be configured as a program product. Here, "recording medium" includes any "portable physical medium" such as memory cards, USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory, SD (Secure Digital) cards, flexible disks, magneto-optical disks, ROMs, EPROMs (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), EEPROMs (Registered Trademark) (Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory), CD-ROMs (Compact Disk Read Only Memory), MOs (Magneto-Optical Disks), DVDs (Digital Versatile Disks), and Blu-ray (Registered Trademark) Discs.

[0078] Furthermore, "program" refers to a data processing method described in any language or writing method, regardless of its format, such as source code or binary code.
