Abstract
Accounting data is classified to facilitate transaction processing and management. According to an example embodiment, data based rules are implemented for classifying transaction-related data into accounting categories. Accounting information is processed as a function of the data based rules and accordingly classified. This approach involves, for example, the identification of particular data based rules to apply to the accounting information, applying the rules and processing the information accordingly.
Description
Technical field
It is mutual to the present invention relates to data processing, relate in particular to and comprise mutual processing and the management of data processing that conveys goods and/or transmit service, and with the management and the tracking of the accounting data that conveys goods and/or the service of transmitting is relevant (for example pay wages and take in) and other trading function.
Background technology
Data trade is handled with relevant spending tracking and is usually directed to high-intensity manual work, and relates to high-intensity user intervention in the example that uses robotization to handle.For example, transaction processing relates to uses various transaction document, such as order, invoice, receipt and house bill (BOL).The transaction document of these types comprises the information that is associated with this transaction that is used for monitoring and handling transaction by transaction each side.
The data transaction document is carried out electronic processing, to be used for the business applications of number of different types.The interaction data (for example electronics or physical-file) of describing the feature of particular transaction usually comprises the various types of information that presents with many different-formats.In addition, when this transaction relates to production marketing from the seller to the buyer, a plurality of parties are usually arranged, except the buyer and the seller such as consignor, financial institution, wholesale dealer and management organization (for example customs, taxation authority).Usually, the transaction data that comes My World is not to be the form that is relevant to from other side's data with being easy to discern, thereby needs a large amount of energy that the data set from different each side is made into each classification.Resolve the data of electronic document and other type so that sign and unbundle data can be consuming time and expensive tasks, also very easily occur mistake simultaneously.
Various transaction cause the difficult treatment relevant with classification with transaction data identification especially easily.For example, to the payment pronucleus of specific business transaction to audit usually on transaction processor automatically, carry out electronically.Be used for the document of these functions or other Transaction Information can be not in time or to be unsuitable for identifying document and document classification arrived transaction processor to the form of particular transaction.Each document relevant with single transaction can may use different account numbers to same information.In addition, different user (commercial entities) is usually realized dissimilar accounting classification methods, and wherein account number can be used for one or more accounting classifications.
The another kind of not compliance of transaction processing difficulty that makes relates to a kind of general case, wherein sign one particular transaction that is used by difference side or the reference number that identifies the data in the transaction or code compliance not.For example, in the transaction that relates to the buyer and the seller, the seller safeguards according to the reference number that is produced by the seller or the transaction data of code organization.The buyer usually must use the seller's reference number or code but not the buyer's reference number visits these data.In addition, the buyer uses different reference number or code to the different characteristic of transaction usually with the seller, thereby makes the supervision and the difficult management of transaction.In addition, want to obtain transaction data transaction other can need to obtain come grouped data to the specific access of this side's code.For example, when monitoring agent was wanted to collect and handle such as transaction data such as spending and income data, this agency must learn the system of this certain party usually so that handle spending, income and other data.
Be easy to produce bill mistake and swindle especially such as the payment of conventional transaction and the spending related fields of making out the bill.For example, paying and paying usually almost not contact between the spending type that will be categorized into.This can cause improper classification or almost not classification.Also can take place and the relevant audit mistake of improper spending classification.In addition, the others of transaction such as information being imported accounting system (for example general ledger) and/or data being used for the tax or audit objective, postpone in the time of usually can obtaining sign and classification in the each side of particular transaction.For example, spending classification improperly can could be found by the cost some months, and functions associated (for example realizing and the relevant tax reduction of commercial affairs spending) is correspondingly postponed.
The accounting relevant information also is easy to make a mistake and swindle especially.For example, when the data on invoice or other document were become account number by hand-coding, people had a lot of chances and are misreading classification policy unintentionally or sometimes even intentionally, and paid wages according to the account number record of mistake.When cost in when accumulative total in the end of term, some type of costs appears to budgetary, but in fact great spending just note on different accounts.
Accidental or the accounting related errors of alternate manner all is harmful to for various reasons.The suitable accounting classification of accounting data is crucial for company to the compliance that is relevant to general internationally recognized principle of accounting (GAAP) standard and the rule of special Sarbanes-Oxley Act (Sarbanes-oxley Act).In fact, there be not under the situation of reliable accounting classification the profit and loss (P﹠amp of company; L) table does not provide the healthy reliable indication of finance of company usually.
Other cost is also because of existing poor efficiency to produce in the various transaction processing methods.Many costs are single to be less, but adds up just very big.For example, typically conclude the business handling cost that each side causes comprises being relevant to and sets up and transmit transaction document, solves the bill dispute, provides the signed copy of document and the cost of mailing receivables inventory to other each side.In addition, the document that parsing, identification and classification are relevant to these and other has added the handling cost of concluding the business.
Another challenge of trade management relates to the instant messages that can not obtain relevant transaction.Coming the transaction data of My World can not be available easily to other Fang Eryan that concludes the business under the situation of directly not visiting certain side's dedicated system usually.Because this process major part is manually carried out, therefore extremely difficult tracking one transaction, and real time data is difficult to obtain especially.For example, in order to learn the state of shipping or payment, include each manual step.If consignor wants to know the carrier whether at the goods that transports particular transaction and whether pay the bill, then consignor usually must contact carrier and/or suitable financial institution.
Above and other difficulty in the management of business transaction and the coordination has proposed challenge to the effective and high-efficiency management of business transaction.
Summary of the invention
The present invention relates to overcome described challenge, and be relevant to the method for the above-mentioned type and realization, other challenge in using.The present invention is illustration in a plurality of realizations with in using, and its part is summarized as follows.

Although the present invention has been easy to various changes and optional form, its details illustrates as example in the accompanying drawings, and will be described in detail.Yet, should be appreciated that the present invention must not be limited to described specific embodiment.On the contrary, be intended to contain all variants, equivalents and the possibility that falls within the spirit and scope of the present invention that are defined by the following claims.
Embodiment
Believe that the present invention can be used for various different classes of business affairs methods and mutual, and have been found that the present invention is particularly useful to the data processing and other related fields that relate to the transaction that comprises accounting data.Although the present invention is not necessarily limited to these methods, various aspects of the present invention can use these and other context to obtain understanding by the discussion of example.
According to one example embodiment, the accounting category information of being stored be used for automatically the classifying accounting related data of particular transaction is such as spending and/or income data.The accounting related data is resolved on transaction system, and uses the accounting category information of being stored, and account number automatically is applied to the accounting related data.Make in this way, can reduce even eliminate account number (have a mind to and unintentionally) repugnance in the distribution of accounting related data.
According to another example embodiment of the present invention, use and be convenient to come management data to handle alternately according to the method that the account number characteristic of data is classified to some interaction data that comprises accounting data.Interaction data from accounting document and another source (for example another document and/or user's overview source) is used for giving one or more specific interactive class with the data allocations from the accounting document.The accounting data such as spending and income that is included in the interaction data is classified automatically, and is used to upgrade relevant interaction data when needed.For example, the expenditure data that receives from invoice payment document can be used for upgrading suitable ledger class account automatically according to predefined spending classification function user's profile.These ledger class accounts can for example present the cost-record summary of a particular business entity under a specific spending classification.Income data can be similar to the processing mode of above-mentioned expenditure data and handle.Use these methods, commercial interaction data is categorized into a plurality of groups automatically, and these groups can be used to according to selected accounting function identification document and other commercial interaction data.
According to another example embodiment of the present invention, transaction processing system comprises the database with storage unit, be used for storing the corresponding user's overview of the particular business entity attribute that the transaction managed with transaction processing system relates to, and be used to store the accounting data table information of following the tracks of accounting class data.Such as characterizing user's overview attribute by identification data, make one or more that in all sorts of ways this user's overview attribute is associated with a commercial entity with commercial entity.Identification data comprises, for example is exclusively used in the identification number or the alphabetic item of this commercial entity (or a particular transaction party).
This transaction processing system is suitable for using user's overview attribute to come the unbundle data, with the characteristic of defining classification.For example, the numbering of the data based user's overview of accounting class attribute assignment classify automatically (for example, by coming the spending of label specific types with account number, these account numbers signs are by the spending pointed of user's overview attribute).These numberings are used under the accounting data table unit in database storage accounting class data automatically.
In one realized, user creatable and administration configuration form were so that the definition of account number and to the classification of data form unit.For example by with data storage in by the tables of data unit of a classification logotype or otherwise use the encoded accounting data of this particular category mark, these definition to be used for automatically making encoded accounting data to be relevant to this particular category.Institute's storage unit (or mark) is used for encoded accounting data, and specific user's data automatically are relevant to accounting field (general ledger or other mechanics of accounting that for example are used for the user).
In another example embodiment of the present invention, transaction processing system is convenient to relate to the transaction of the businessman's supply of material (for example commodity and/or service) in the parties that comprises the buyer and the seller.The various aspects of each transaction are all carried out on the previous agreement that is provided with of each side, and are characterized by at least one document based on transaction.This system comprises database and computer installation (for example one or more computing machines, and each computing machine communicates with one another in one situation of back).This computer installation is suitable for the corresponding account number of each side in many ways is stored in the database.These account numbers for example can be relevant to by specific spending of specific user's appointment or income field groups, and these numberings also are realized as and are used for following the tracks of for example field of specific user's general ledger.These accounting code numbers also can be relevant to administrative class compliance rule, are embodied as such as those that accounting process of guaranteeing special entity is in conformity with law and the rule of other standard.Like this, computer installation use be associated with account number and be stored in the database based on the transaction data rule, with by based on transaction document the account number of being stored being applied to spending and/or taking in.Use this association and the application of account number, such as by information that the payment terms that are relevant to particular transaction are provided and/or the agreement that continues to finish previous setting by the accounting data that produces an aspect that characterizes agreement.
Referring now to accompanying drawing,, Fig. 1 illustrates the traction processing apparatus 100 that comprises transaction processor 110 (for example computing machine or computer installation) that is programmed for automatic classification accounting information that comprises of according to the present invention another example embodiment.This transaction processor 110 is communicated by letter with storage arrangement 112, has stored the transaction related information of the rule set that comprises the accounting information (for example accounting classifying and numbering) that is used to classify in this storage arrangement 112.Storage arrangement 112 (for example database or set of databases) is illustrated as and transaction processor 110 couplings; Yet in each was realized, part or all of storage arrangement was the part of transaction processor, was positioned at remote location and/or was included in a plurality of data storage circuitries and/or the medium at diverse location place.
A plurality of user nodes 120,122,124,126 and 128 and transaction processor 110 communicative couplings.These user nodes 120-128 can comprise any of the various user interface tools that are used for data access, comprises for example buyer, the seller, wholesale dealer, consignor, carrier, government organs, financial institution or individual, entity, group or the agency of other type of participating in business.These nodes and transaction processor 110 are mutual, are used to provide transaction related information, such as accounting rule, order, invoice, waybill, payment authorization, payment execution, customs papers, secure file etc.In addition, this transaction related information can comprise the applicability information of the relation of the information of being relevant to and accounting data, and such as the term of validity and expiration date, wherein the applicability of information is limited to the specific date scope.In some instances, node is mainly as the interface that data are provided to transaction processor 110, and the user on the node can provide the transaction related information such as classifying rules (for example according to specified format).In other example, transaction processor 110 is automatically visited the information from user node for various purposes, such as searching classification rule (for example account number) or the relevant accounting field of renewal.This between node and the transaction processor 110 for example uses alternately the access authorization such as the cryptoguard mandate to wait and controls.
When transaction data comprised the accounting related data, the rule that transaction processor 110 uses specific type of data was come resolution data and Automatic Logos and classification (for example classification) accounting related data.This classification uses that for example classification engine or other programming aspect of transaction processor 110 are carried out; When comprising the general ledger data, can realize that the general ledger distribution engine is to distribute general ledger classification or numbering.Applicable rule may be adjusted to certain party or the specific account title classification that for example adapts to transaction, and can relate to the distribution (wherein realizing the distribution of numbering so that the numbering of the accounting data that will be used for classifying is assigned to general ledger) such as user's particular category numbering of general ledger numbering.Classification information can randomly send to the each side that the accounting related data is used transaction wherein.In addition, the feature that respectively this classification can be used to monitor and report the transaction of managing by transaction processor 110 that in storage arrangement 112, has Transaction Information.The accounting rule that is stored on the transaction processor 110 also can estimated on transaction processor on one of user node and/or directly.
In one realizes, transaction processor 110 be suitable for receive (for example in the transaction document) new based on transaction data the time use automatically with the accounting symbolization of accounts distribute to transaction data based on the transaction data rule.These rules by as the part of transaction processor 110 or with it independently distribution engine use, so that the accounting symbolization of accounts is distributed to transaction data.When the renewal that receives at transaction processor 110 (for example via one of user node 120-128) allocation rule, make the new calling of subtend data allocations account number by transaction processor, and upgrade accordingly.For example, when specific user's transaction data has distributed can specific account number, and user's input is during to the renewal of the rule that is used to distribute this numbering, transaction processor 110 uses the numbering that more is newly assigned to transaction data through update rule automatically.Can be randomly, the application through update rule is controlled on the user selection ground that provides allocation rule to upgrade, and for example wants optionally will use when update rule is applied to New Transaction the user.
In some instances, transaction processor 110 limits and/or follows the tracks of the visit to the allocation rule that is used for update rule.For example, when allocation rule was embodied as the spending numbering that is used for branch distribution sort expenditure data, this transaction processor 110 was realized as the visit of limited subscriber to allocation rule, to forbid the unexpected processing of rule with the data that are associated with rule.Like this, the entity of realizing transaction processor 110 can be guaranteed to limit the chance of the wrong or intentional processing of accounting data thus by limiting the visit of the classifying rules of paying wages, also further realizing suitable spending classification by this assorting process of robotization.
Be relevant to another and realize, transaction processor 110 distributes price according to the account number that is distributed.Price is associated with specific account number using user profile information for example to be provided with in the storage arrangement 112 of price.When accounting data was assigned to the specific account number that further comprises price or price mechanism, corresponding price or price mechanism had been distributed to accounting data automatically.
In another realization, transaction processor 110 uses predicable to resolve and the grouping transaction document, lumps together with the sets of documentation that will be relevant to particular transaction.This automatic classification for example can comprise: make the particular transaction document associations in one or more users automatically, use this user's overview attribute to define the application of account number in the data of transaction document subsequently.In a specific example, document is grouped in the classification that defines according to the anchor category information, as binding sequence number is 10/864, the U.S. Patent application that is entitled as " automated transaction disposal system and method " (Automated Transaction Processing System and Approach) that 761 (USBA.120PA), on June 9th, 2004 submit to is described, and this application all is incorporated into this by reference.
In another example embodiment, transaction processor 110 also is suitable for according to the input that receives from node 120-128, such as authorizing input and the specific input of concluding the business is permitted and the message exchange of control and storage arrangement 112.When the user on one of node 120-128 attempts to transaction processor 110 transmission information or therefrom during retrieving information, be used for controlling this information from user's authorization message and transmit.Authorization message for example can comprise access classes information (for example password or user ID) or only be transaction processor 110 discernible document information.
When message exchange control with Transaction Information and one of node 120-128 when transaction processor 110 sends transaction data (for example electronic document), storage arrangement 112 resolved so that transaction data and institute's canned data are complementary.If found a coupling, then transaction processor 110 for example is used to distribute the rule of account number to handle transaction data according to stored information.For example, when transaction document according to such as agreement before be set permit effective payment authorization of the buyer of contract the time, transaction data and this buyer's canned data is complementary, and the buyer's suitable spending numbering is assigned to expenditure data (for example distributing to single line item).When transaction data represented that the seller has received payment, transaction data and this seller's canned data was complementary, and the seller's suitable income numbering is assigned to the transaction payment data, and was assigned in due course in the single line item of payment data.
In another example embodiment, transaction processor 110 is suitable for the mechanics of accounting storage of particular business entity and remains in one of user node.For example, referring to user node 128, handle by transaction processor 110 via the input that the user interface on the user node receives, to set up the storage arrangement of this commercial entity.Distribute the rule of account number and the overview category information of aforesaid user capture mandate also on user node 128, to import such as being used to via user interface.Use this information, transaction processor 110 when preserving mechanics of accounting, distribute account number, and control to the visit of commercial entity's information of being stored.For example, when the spending of overview category information indication particular type should be categorized into the accounting classification that identifies with specific account number, this account number was assigned to this spending.This overview category information for example can use one to be programmed in the transaction processor 110 based on algorithm routine, should be configured to transaction data and allocation rule feature are made comparisons based on algorithm routine, and produce the output numbering such as effective general ledger numbering.
In relating to an application-specific that keeps aforesaid mechanics of accounting, be written into this mechanics of accounting via the exchange of the accounting system of data-interface and commercial entity such as the accounting class data of account number.For example, when the commercial entity on the user node 128 adopts the accounting system (hardware and software that for example is used for general ledger system) of particular type, transaction processor 110 links to each other by interface with this accounting system, therefrom to retrieve or otherwise to receive data.Data from the accounting system of this commercial entity are used to set up mechanics of accounting by transaction processor 110 then.This data can comprise, for example are used to specify the term of validity of account number and the information of expiration date (or expired incident), and this helps to be written in advance this information to guarantee the expired timely processing of these account numbers.
In another example embodiment, the account number that is used by transaction processor 110 optionally is mounted with by transaction processor and/or by the user-defined information on one or more user node 122-128.For example, specific account number partly or entirely can based on for example numbering use in wherein the transaction particular data value or based on the combinations of definitions of transaction data.In the example transaction that relates to from the warehouse " W " of the order of branch office " S " and product class " P ", but this order Direct Classification is the numbering " SSS/DDD/CCCCCC " of the part of numbering such as each character to relating to the account number of identifier for " S ", " W " and " P ".When running into new spending, income and/or other transaction aspect, such as the account number of general ledger numbering thereby can be by transaction processor 110 definition.These can comprise the predefine aspect through the definition numbering, adopt the aspect of the information that comprises aforesaid branch office, warehouse and product data through the definition numbering such as expression.
In another example embodiment, transaction processor 110 monitors accounting data over time.The variation that is monitored is used for various purposes, such as being used to generate report, following the tracks of compliance and being used to generate suitable reversible clauses and subclauses to keep the order such as the accounting data of general ledger data.For example, when the specific accounting field in transaction document or other transaction continuous item was updated, transaction processor monitored and upgrades and correspondingly upgrade the field (for example upgrading user's general ledger account) that is associated.
According to another example embodiment, the transaction data that receives on transaction processor 110 is to quote with the security classes data cross that is stored in the storage arrangement 112.When transaction data and some security control standard were complementary, the transaction under this transaction data can for example add mark or otherwise audit by class mechanism of government.For example, when an accounting account classification type was complementary with the classification of including management in, the data that are relevant to the specific classification type can be from third party's report of trend such as government regulation mechanism.
In another example embodiment that can realize with reference to Fig. 1, third party and the transaction data of handling by transaction processor 110 be used to the exchange rate information of auditing alternately.For example, when transaction data comprised the information of the relevant specific currency that will use, third party's exchange rate data can be complementary with this transaction data.This coupling is used for for example distributing exchange rate information according to the spending classifying rules from each transaction of trend, and this spending classifying rules instructs the application of the exchange rate in specific classification.
Expense by transaction processor 110 according to one of representation node 120-128 or many on the processing carried out of user automatically estimate.In some applications, expense is based on fixed expense, and fixed expense is that processing function according to the specific user comes this user's estimation.In other was used, expense is based on used estimation, and for example wherein handled trading volume is corresponding to specific expense amount.In other application, expense estimates that on basis of business for example wherein expense is a certain number percent of the capital quantity that transmits in the transaction.Expense usually in the transaction to that side estimation of its classified information, and can directly from fund, extract the transmission of concluding the business, wherein transaction processor 110 is convenient to this transmission.
Figure 1A illustrates the spending treating apparatus 105 of another example embodiment according to the present invention, is suitable for separately following the tracks of and audits being used for the transaction data of the suitable compliance function of administrative class.This device 105 comprises spending tracking processor 130, auditing processor 140, and the report processor 150 in the application that realizes outside report.In some applications, realized a plurality of auditing processors, be used to visit the classification expenditure data relevant with different selected commercial entities.When via report processor 150 reports on the implementation, depend on the report application, make from the output of report and can use one or more entities.As example, management entity 160 receives this report output shown in Figure 1A, and wherein handled accounting data type is an expenditure data.This method also can be applicable to the processing taken in, and wherein suitable spending function is realized with earnings function.
Information in spending tracking processor 130 monitor transaction data, use spending classifying rules 132 transaction data makes the expenditure data of being followed the tracks of be associated with tracking parameter (classifying and numbering of for example paying wages) and the expenditure data that is associated is deposited in the storage arrangement 112, and this storage arrangement 112 is illustrated as and is labeled as corresponding to the storage arrangement among Fig. 1 112.Transaction data is provided by the one or more parties that for example are relevant to such as the agreement of goods and/or service contract.This spending classifying rules 132 comprises the classified information relevant with the compliance relevant issues, and in some applications, classified information is that entity is specific, such as the classification preference of particular transaction party.The same with above discussion, storage arrangement 112 usefulness different pieces of information storage unit and/or method optionally realize.Like this, storage arrangement 112 can comprise two or more different pieces of information storage unit of the addressable suitable function of device 105 (with device 100).
Spending tracking processor 130 depends on uses the transaction data that uses from each source.For example, provide such as the transaction file of order, invoice or the parties of customs papers transaction data can be provided.The transaction data that this provided normally electronics transmits, and perhaps otherwise becomes and can use spending tracking processor 130.When spending tracking processor 130 is realized as when being used for the company scope and handling, the transaction of company becomes and can use spending tracking processor 130.Commercial entity's (for example, for Fig. 1 on node 120-128) makes its expenditure data can use spending tracking processor 130.In some implementations, spending tracking processor 130 is effectively being handled the transaction expenditure data on the basis of business one by one, thereby use the income transaction document to come automatically representative of consumer (for example buyer or the seller) classification associated or otherwise handle the transaction expenditure data, trace information also is provided simultaneously, is used for according to using the compliance function expenditure data of classifying.In other is realized, spending tracking processor 130 (is for example handled archive information that each exchange that relates to a particular business entity is preserved, to in the special-purpose accounting records of company, preserve), wherein classification feature concentrates on the compliance relevant classification by the spending tracking processor and realizes.
In some applications, but the information in the auditing processor 140 DASD devices 112.For example, when auditing processor and storage arrangement are realized with common transaction system, auditing processor 140 is reference-to storage device 112 routinely, energetically or otherwise, with the expenditure data according to compliance rule 142 is retrieved and audit is classified.Like this, auditing processor 140 is reference-to storage device 112 optionally, with the classification expenditure data of the particular business entity that obtains auditing.
In other was used, communication controler 135 usefulness auditing processors 140 and/or storage arrangement 112 were realized, are used for to the expenditure data of auditing processor transmission through classification.Communication controler 135 DASD devices 112, and optionally make through the classification expenditure data can use auditing processor 140.For example, when the data of auditing processor 140 request particular business entity (for example parties), communication controler 135 by make particular business entity through the classification expenditure data auditing processor be can be used to request is responded.In some applications, this method comprises a proof procedure, and wherein communication controler 135 uses the verification method of a security parameter or other type, and what empirical tests was asked can transmit to auditing processor 140 through the classification expenditure data.Use conventional communication channels to send auditing processor 140 to through the expenditure data of classification such as the Internet (wire/wireless connects or other based on network communication).
In some applications, auditing processor 140 has the remote access based on safety through classification expenditure data 112.For example, with being similar to the mode of above-mentioned communication controler 135, auditing processor can provide the validation criteria that is used for verifying auditing processor 140 by storage arrangement 112 (or the controller that is associated, such as communication controler 135 or spending tracking processor 130).For example by the particular business entity of permitting will verifying auditing processor or the visit through the classification expenditure data of one group of commercial entity, the visit to the particular data of the information in the storage arrangement 112 is permitted in this checking usually.In some applications, be used to verify the particular audit processor such as above-described user's profile; These user's profiles can comprise the commercial entity's canned data with the profile of particular audit processor and/or its data of allowance visit.In case obtain checking, auditing processor 140 just is relevant to the information of checking in the accessible storage apparatus 112.
When its expenditure data classification of auditing processor 140 audit and when being stored in a plurality of commercial entity in the storage arrangement 112 (or another storage arrangement), the profile information of each commercial entity is used to identify and follow the tracks of the result to the audit of each entity.In some applications, profile information also comprises by auditing processor 140 and is used in particular for adjusting audit function to adapt to the information of special entity.For example, when particular business entity need be relevant with its related business type and during by the indicated particular audit function of related management class compliance rule, the profile information of this particular business entity has reflected the particular audit needs.In addition, when particular business entity request particular audit function or method, produce the function or the method for report such as relating to specific format or alternate manner, these profiles use the function or the method for being asked to realize by auditing processor 140.
When realizing, report processor 150 uses the information that is produced by auditing processor 140 to generate report and this report sent to specifies the recipient, such as shown in the figure management entity 160 or to its commercial entity that audits.
In some applications, by following the tracks of and auditing processor 130 and 140 tracking that realize and audit function are realized via transaction processor 110 but controlled by single entity, so that compliance is put into practice in the suitable accounting relevant with the rule that for example needs to separate these functions.For example 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires: with respect to the entity of realizing non-auditing service, auditing service is undertaken by single entity.Like this, user's profile on the transaction processor 110 or Else Rule are preserved separately these functions and are realized, all carry out under independent control thereby follow the tracks of (or any non-auditing service) with respect to any audit function.To user's profile or other be relevant to follow the tracks of and the visit use of the control characteristic of audit function such as above to Fig. 1 discussion security means and be subjected to corresponding restriction.Use this method, tracking and audit function are realized in conjunction with transaction processor 110, are kept the independent control of these functions simultaneously, and correspondingly meet the compliance rule relevant with this independent control.
In some applications, realize on one of user node 120-128 by processor 130,140 and the one or more of 150 tracking, audit and the function of reporting of carrying out respectively.External entity or cost classification entity and transaction processor 110 on one of user node 120-128 such as audit are mutual, to carry out and by the related function of transaction data of transaction processor 110 processing.As mentioned above, can be to the visit of data in the storage arrangement 112 by optionally controlling as the transaction controller of realizing with auditing processor 140 110.
The part or all of processing capacity that illustrates and describe in conjunction with Figure 1A is assessed a fee.For example, when realizing with the transaction processor 110 of Fig. 1, expense is estimated as described above in conjunction with Fig. 1.In addition, can or otherwise provide the spending tracking entity of spending tracking processor 130 directly or via transaction processor 110 to assess a fee separately by operation at where applicable.Similarly, can or provide the entity of auditing processor 140 and function thereof to assess a fee separately by operation.These expenses can or be independent of these devices via device 105 when realizing (and 100) and automatically estimate.
Referring again to Figure 1A, another example embodiment of the present invention relates in conjunction with the management of user's general ledger and/or handles one or more above methods that realize.Spending tracking processor 130 is mutual with transaction data, and further with storage arrangement 112 in data interaction, to follow the tracks of the expenditure data relevant with general ledger.Storage arrangement 112 be realized as usually except store each user based on the transaction data rule (for example discussing) as Fig. 1, also store the graph structure of the general ledger chart of each user account.
Spending classifying rules 132 comprises the general ledger allocation rule, is used for the general ledger account number is distributed to spending.Spending tracking processor 130 for example uses the general ledger distribution engine that realizes via the software on the spending tracking processor 130, and these general ledger allocation rule are used for distributing the general ledger account number.When transaction data is received or is otherwise visited by spending tracking processor 130, based on the storage data rule be used for will number as required with out of Memory distribute to transaction data, be used for associated user's general ledger graph structure is written into storage arrangement 112 and/or upgrades it.This is used by associated user (for example Jiao Yi the buyer or the seller) through lastest imformation, thereby to guarantee that particular transaction has been finished payment ripe opportunity by for example being convenient to the user, continues to finish transaction.
Fig. 2 be according to the present invention another example embodiment is shown relate to the process flow diagram of account number to the exchange management method of the distribution of transaction data.Method shown in Figure 2 and discussed below can be used for for example in conjunction with the described one or more methods of Fig. 1.Similarly, traction processing apparatus 100 shown in Figure 1 can be realized with method shown in Figure 2 and described.
At frame 210, store user's overview attribute of a plurality of users, and each user has the one group of overview attribute (for example with relevant based on the transaction data rule) that comprises the account number allocation preferences.At frame 220, on transaction processor, receive based on transaction document, wherein document has the one or more accounting class fields that wherein have accounting data.Resolve at frame 230 based on transaction document, and use is used one or more user's overview based on transaction document and is associated with the document from the data of the document.For example, by to from making comparisons based on the owner information of transaction document and the owner information of being stored in user's overview, the entitlement of document can belong to the specific user, but the allocation preferences of applied accounting symbolization of accounts in view of the above.As another example, be associated with particular transaction by making the document, user's overview of transaction each side can be associated based on transaction document (for example being associated) with the accounting data that different each side to transaction carry out different disposal.
At frame 240, the account number allocation preferences that is associated with one of user's overview based on transaction document at frame 230 is used for the accounting symbolization of accounts is distributed to accounting class data from document.This data can comprise, for example, the spending class data relevant with use wherein certain kinds spending based on transaction document or with use the income class data that income wherein is correlated with based on transaction document.At frame 250, transaction processor uses the account number will be from the accounting class data qualification of accounting field in the document in of all categories.This kind can comprise, for example is used for the classification of payment of duty or other audit objective and or is used to comprise classification such as the internal trace purpose of the clauses and subclauses of the typical accounting class document of general ledger.
In one realizes, user's overview attribute of frame 210 storages comprise be used to handle from based on the accounting class data of transaction document through adjusting accounting rule.This rule can for example be provided with and/or be edited by the user, wherein stores the overview attribute.When some characteristics of accounting class data corresponding to specific during based on the transaction data rule, this rule is used for the accounting symbolization of accounts is applied to accounting class data and/or is used for further handling these data according to the accounting classification that is applied to data at frame 240.
More particularly in the example embodiment, accounting class data are used at frame 260 and are put in the anchor position corresponding to particular transaction from the data storage based on transaction document, and store transaction overview attribute in the present invention.This anchor position is put according to Transaction Information and is defined, and is used to make the different document that belongs to a particular transaction to be associated together.These transaction overview attributes can for example be included in the attribute that frame 210 is stored together with storage user's overview attribute, and can comprise the data of transaction overview attribute being used user's overview attribute do contrast of transaction each side wherein.
In one example, when when particular anchor position distribution is known (ID) corresponding to the anchor buoy of (perhaps, comprising in some instances) specific accounting classification, accounting class data are stored in the particular anchor position of specific accounting classification.Suitable anchor ID has identified the accounting class data with accounting classification effectively, and therefore can distribute the data of specific accounting classification simply by retrieval, is further used for accounting, audit and other purpose.For the more detailed example embodiment of this respect further is discussed, but reference sequences number is 10/864, the american documentation literature that is entitled as " automated transaction disposal system and method " (Automated Transaction Processing System and Approach) that 761 (USBA.120PA), on June 9th, 2004 submit to, the document is incorporated herein by reference.
Same as in figure 1, the method that illustrates and describe in conjunction with Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 optionally realizes with the receipts method, wherein uses the receipts rule that replaces (or in addition) spending classifying rules to come receipts is realized the spending classification function.
Fig. 3 illustrates the process flow diagram of method of using the expenditure data of one or more special entity according to the administrative effort data of another example embodiment of the present invention.At frame 310, resolve the input expenditure data and be used to the characteristic of numbering distribution of paying wages, and expenditure data is associated with specific user's overview with sign.The input expenditure data can be for example presents with the form based on the data ordering that presents the data that can be associated with particular transaction of transaction document or other type.The spending characteristic that can identify for example can comprise that goods or the type of service and/or the type (for example manufacturing, amusement etc.) of commercial function wherein used in specific spending.
At frame 320, the input expenditure data automatically is associated with the user profile data that expenditure data is used user's (being commercial entity) wherein.This user can for example be the buyer in the transaction between the buyer and the seller, and the expenditure data that wherein belongs to goods and/or service is bought by the buyer.This user profile information can use and for example be used to distribute the trade managing system of expenditure data to come the storage to a plurality of commercial entities.Association between expenditure data and the user profile data is used expenditure data or document or is presented information in other data ordering of expenditure data, comes comparison user profile data and sign coupling therebetween.The user profile data that is complementary thereby be associated with expenditure data automatically.
At frame 330, use the storage allocation rule that can be applicable to institute's identity characteristic will pay wages to number and distribute to expenditure data.These storage allocation rules are being stored in conjunction with user profile information and are being the general rule that for example can be applicable to an above user or can adjust a user especially when frame 320 correspondingly is associated with expenditure data.The diversity of account number type and quantity can be applicable to a plurality of expenditure categories, and therefore can be adjusted to the particular business environment (if using specific allocation rule) that adapts to special entity.For example, can set up certain class spending numbering, to be used to be suitable for the amusement spending of amusement commercial accounts.In other example, the spending numbering is set up the disposable spending such as utilities expense, and the means of production such as manufacturing equipment that the spending numbering is followed the tracks of depreciation to needs are set up.These and other example is easy to use this method to realize.
At frame 340, distributed the data of spending numbering to use the specific user's who is handling expenditure data transaction profile data automatically to be categorized into the expenditure category table.Spending that each distributed numbering (for example be included in and discuss in the earlier paragraphs) can be fit to specific expenditure category, and its part can overlap.These expenditure categories are the same with spending numbering, can be depending on realize and just the user's of grouped data accounting need and comprise the multiclass expenditure category.In addition, it is stacked that expenditure category for example can use general category, to comprise two or more particular category (for example single classification of paying taxes can be applicable to the specific expenditure category of a plurality of differences).
At frame 350, the expenditure category table is used to produce information data, and this information data can be used for estimating the various aspects of using entity wherein through the classification expenditure data.In one example, the expenditure category table can relate to the spending distribution method that use comprises the spending classification that is used to produce the entity assessment data of reporting commercial entity's profit characteristic.This entity assessment data is useful and favourable when the information of for example following the tracks of with suitable accountancy law compliance, and for example uses that profit and loss statement provides commercial accurately health and fitness information with other means of communication to shareholder and potential investor.
Fig. 4 is the process flow diagram that the exchange management method with invoice approval and the distribution of general ledger account number that is applicable to the transaction that comprises the buyer and the seller of another example embodiment according to the present invention is shown.Transaction processor 410 uses the information that is stored in the database 440, realizes that invoice is handled and general ledger (GL) numbering distribution function.For example be convenient to invoice approval at buyer's whereabouts and/or in conjunction with buyer's processor 410 that transaction processor 410 is realized.When needed, buyer's processor 420 also is convenient to the general ledger chart 430 in conjunction with expenditure data and buyer account.After invoice approval, transaction processor 410 is convenient to 450 payments via financial institution.
As with the buyer and the seller between the part of the payment process that is associated of transaction, sell direction transaction processor 410 and send invoices 405.Invoice 405 transmits with the form of the electronic data of electronic document or other type usually.The invoice data that invoice processor 412 parsings on the transaction processor 410 are received is to obtain the information that can be used for identifying invoice, such as passing through to use the parties mark for marking seller or the buyer.Use identification information, transaction processor 410 requests are from the user's overview and the spending classifying rules of database 440.Database 440 comprises and each buyer who uses transaction processor 410 and this user's overview 444 that the seller is associated and the classifying rules 442 of paying wages.Each buyer and the seller provide overview 444 and the spending classifying rules that is associated with its particular transaction.
Spending classifying rules 442 comprise by transaction processor 410 in conjunction with the information from invoice 405 use, with the data of the numbering of the data allocations GL in invoice.Like this, spending classifying rules 442 comprises a class or the multiclass of all kinds of distribute data of being convenient to the distribution of this GL numbering.This distribute data can comprise: be used for according to invoice 405 produce new GL numbering information, be used to use the product mark information of invoice to distribute information of numbering or the like.For example, the distribute data in the spending classifying rules 442 can represent that the product with production code member " ABC " will be categorized under the expenditure category " XYZ ".This distribute data can be special-purpose to supplier's (for example sending the supplier of invoice 405), or general to an above supplier.In some implementations, the sign that sends the supplier of invoice 405 is used in conjunction with the spending classifying rules 442 that distributes the GL numbering, and wherein supplier is identified at when it distributes account number and uses individually or in conjunction with the out of Memory in the invoice 405.But other spending classifying rules 442 can comprise the object computer coding that can be produced suitable account number by transaction processor 410 in conjunction with the electing sale information in the invoice 405.Generally speaking, spending classifying rules 442 comprises any information of being specified, also can be distributed with transaction data the GL numbering by parties.This appointed information changes with situation, thereby will specifically adjust as required particular transaction party.For present embodiment (with herein other) purpose, can expect to generate spending classifying rules 442 to adapt to application-specific and these application at this.
In some applications, database 440 usefulness transaction processors 410 are realized (promptly link to each other and/or link to each other by Local Area Network) in this locality, and comprise that the request of data of memory search class request realizes with personal computer or LAN usually.In other is used, database 440 is positioned at long-range, wherein overview and classifying rules request for example fetch transmission via the communication chain such as the Internet, according to carrying out verification and processing such as the content of profile sign and/or secure data on database 440 in the request.
User's overview and spending classifying rules data 441 send to transaction processor 410 in response to respective request from database 440.By generating the invoice approval request (being associated with buyer's processor 420 at this) to the suitable buyer, data 441 are used for handling invoice 405 by transaction processor.For example, aforesaid user's overview can be used to make particular invoice and particular transaction and/or is associated such as the buyer and/or the seller's parties.
If invoice is checked and approved by buyer's processor 420, then invoice payment authorization data 421 are produced and are sent to transaction processor 410.This invoice for example uses such as buyer's processor 420 overviews addressable or manually input or the data of contract dataset and checks and approves (or not checking and approving), is used for ratifying the payment of invoice.
(a plurality of) general ledger numbering that is associated with expenditure data 423 is used to identify the certain accounts (as example, shown in account 1-N) of wherein charging to expenditure data.Each account association is in a specific unique GL numbering or one group of unique GL numbering.Like this, expenditure data is placed into the account by suitable GL number-mark.
In some applications, transaction processor 410 also is programmed to as authorizing the payment of invoice (or its part) shown in authorizing in the invoice payment authorization data 421.Like this, payment/auditing processor 416 generates payment authorization data 417, comprises the information of the source and the destination of sign fund, such as the buyer's bank or the credit card account and the seller's bank account.The contract dataset 448 that payment/auditing processor 416 uses usefulness overview in information, user's overview 444 and some examples in the invoice for example and spending classifying rules data 441 to return is authorized this payment.In this example, user's overview 444 and/or contract dataset 448 comprise the information (for example audit regulation) that is provided with by one or more parties, and these information are used for checking of invoice 405.
Payment/auditing processor 416 is realized the transaction data that one or more audit conditions are used to pay with audit and processing.This audit can comprise, for example makes comparisons to the information of relevant invoice 405 and the contract dataset of being stored, profile information or by the specified out of Memory of one or more parties, and be suitable and ready with the information of guaranteeing relevant invoice for payment.In some instances, audit comprises such as by guaranteeing that address and payment information are suitable or account number is correct, guarantees that the assisted class condition relevant with invoice 405 is correct.Some example comprise such as by guarantee price suitably, deliver goods and/or performance be acceptable, the condition of guaranteeing to be relevant to special contract is suitable; This information can be relevant to by invoice or by can be used for paying/information of other data indication of auditing processor 416.For example, when realizing that whether payment/auditing processor 416 pay opportunity during maturation to determine to be made by particular transaction party, the condition of the particular transaction party setting relevant with invoice can realize with payment/auditing processor, and when eligible authority to pay.These conditions comprise contract dataset 448, and invoice 405 makes comparisons with contract dataset, and when this relatively indicates consistent between invoice and the contract dataset authority to pay.
In some instances, payment/auditing processor 416 is realized according to the consistent contract dataset 448 automatic conditions that generate.Payment/auditing processor 416 generates the price as businessman's supply of material of the object of invoice 405, and wherein Zhi Fu mandate comprises the mandate of the relevant price that produces.Like this, invoice 405 and the nonessential pricing information that comprises perhaps comprise in the situation of pricing information really at invoice, can be according to generation price this information of auditing.
In case pay authorizedly, payment authorization 417 just is sent to the financial institution such as bank and credit card mechanism, and this financial institution is again to the seller (or financial institution of the seller) Sending Payments 451.In some applications, financial institution 450 is buyer financial institution, and in other was used, financial institution 450 was associated with transaction processor 410, and represent buyer's payment 451 on the basis of credit, collect payment 451 from the buyer then and add any defrayment that is associated.
In some applications, communication is carried out between buyer account's general ledger chart 430 and database 440, and this database 440 is used for storage spending classifying rules and general ledger account number information 433.Use this method, to buyer account the renewal of general ledger chart 430 can be in database 440 upgrade automatically, to be used for distributing the spending classification by corresponding more the newly arriving that spending classifying rules 442 is made.
In another example embodiment of the present invention, transaction processor 410 is worked with in response to the renewal in the characteristic of the renewal in the relevant spending classifying rules or the transaction data of being handled with buyer's processor 420, general ledger is numbered the data of being stored in the general ledger chart of redistributing to buyer account 430.For example, handled at invoice 405, after expenditure data wherein has been assigned to GL numbering and institute's distribute data stored, can need the change of classifying rules to the follow-up change of the buyer's accounting practice that is associated with the spending classification and/or administrative class rule.Like this, buyer's processor 420 and/or transaction processor 410 identify expenditure data from buyer account's general ledger chart 430, and this is subject to the influence of rule change, also therefore according to above GL numbering assigning process the GL numbering is redistributed to data.In some applications, this is redistributed in response to specific GL numbering and carries out with respect to the expired of the temporal characteristics relevant with this GL numbering.
Fig. 5 be according to the present invention another example embodiment have accounting data classification and the trade managing system of compliance processing and a process flow diagram of method.This method can for example realize in conjunction with distribution method shown in Figure 4.In this embodiment, the information interaction in data association processor 520, classification processor 430 and compliance processor 550 and the database 501 with processing and/or generation accounting related data, and further is convenient to according to 504 pairs of data classification of compliance rule.Database 501 storages are by accounting classifying rules 502, user's overview 503 and the compliance rule 504 of user's (for example parties and management entity) input that provide, that be illustrated as database.
When the transaction data 510 that on data association processor 520, receives such as invoice or receipt, the resolved one-tenth of information data can be used for making data association in the overview that sends the user or otherwise be associated with data, the buyer of all same transaction in this way and/or the seller.This data association processor 520 sends overview requests (for example with the controller of handling this request on the database 501) to database 501, and 501 of this databases return the user's overview 522 that comprises the information that can be used to make transaction data be associated with one or more users by the data association processor.Data association processor 520 sends connected transaction data 525 to classification processor 530, and in some applications, sends so that record to database 501.
Be used for from the classifying rules request of database 501 retrieval accounting classifying ruless 502 by using association to produce, classification processor 530 receives and handles the associated transaction data.For example, when the associated transaction data were specified a specific user, the classifying rules request comprised the information that identifies this user, and the transaction data of particular type is used to identify classification type when needed.Classifying rules 532 is returned to classification processor 530, and this classification processor 530 comes accounting data in the unbundle data by classification being distributed to every class accounting data in the transaction data.Classification processor 530 sends the accounting data 535 through classifying so that be stored in the general ledger chart 540 of the user account that is associated then, and sends it to compliance processor 550.In some applications, the accounting data 535 through classifying also is sent to database 501, so that with for example parties or such as addressable transaction record data 505 storages of the management entity of entity 560.
The general ledger chart 540 of user account is realized at for example specific user's place, place of business or in conjunction with the transaction processor of being managed.In this environment, and referring to Fig. 1, account's general ledger chart 540 is being located such as the user place of business of user node 120 or is optionally being realized on transaction processor 110.
In another example embodiment, the timing aspect of accounting classifying rules 502 expection transaction data 510 transaction associated therewith, and to the classification distribution accounting data that comprises regularly relevant information.For example, the information that sign is concluded the business effective time can be by the generation of particular event, such as paying invoice or receiving that payment is provided with.Also can comprise the effective time of transaction and using the initial or Close Date of the term of validity, wherein be relevant to one of initial or Close Date or both different classification application in a particular transaction.Like this, accounting classifying rules 502 can be indicated with respect to timing or the initial/Close Date of this time and be distributed specific classification.For example, when specific classification is relevant to when replacing with new numbering at expired account number of the accounting end of term and after it is expired, this associating information is used for respect to timing property data being carried out suitable classification in accounting classifying rules 502 and by classification processor 530.
In some applications, the classifying rules request that is sent by classification processor 530 comprises the information of representing timed events.The classifying rules 532 that is returned is those rules that are associated with timed events.
In other was used, classification processor 530 request specific classifying rules collection of non-time, and resolve the classifying rules 532 that is returned were with sign wherein be used to the to classify rule of accounting data.
