Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a centralized purchasing network system, in which a customer orders and purchases goods via a network, a centralized purchasing service providing method, an agency server, and a program. Can be used to purchase goods from suppliers.
[0002]
[Background Art]
Conventionally, many purchasing systems using the Internet have been constructed. In these purchasing systems, usually, a customer who purchases a product accesses a server managed by a supplier (seller, etc.) that supplies the product from a terminal operated by the customer via the Internet, and places an order provided from the server. Using the screen, select the product that the user wants to purchase, and send the order data to the supplier server. Then, when the supplier receives the order data at the server, the supplier delivers the order to the customer based on the received data, and then sends an invoice to the customer.
[0003]
In such a conventional purchasing system, when ordering a product, a customer selects a supplier who can purchase the same product at a lower price, or purchases a product based on quality, ease of use, and the like. If so, a supplier that handles such products is selected and ordered. Thus, one company or one customer is dealing with multiple suppliers. At this time, at the order stage, each customer accesses each supplier server by inputting a different ID for each supplier, and at the purchase billing stage, each supplier individually bills each customer. The billing time differs for each supplier, and the payment time and payment method also differ for each supplier. Each customer performs the expense processing for these invoices and payments each time, and in this expense processing, each customer uses the accounting method according to his or her own accounting method (units and accounts in management accounting). Is determined each time.
[0004]
Further, as a purchasing system using the Internet, there is a system that purchases goods through an agent. For example, on the homepage, the customer specifies the agent to the agent and communicates the purchase intention of the product, the agent transmits the purchase intention of the customer to the agent by e-mail, and the agent estimates the price of the item to the customer. Present, order goods from the customer to the agent, communicate the order of the goods by e-mail from the agent to the agent, deliver the goods from the agent to the customer, and communicate the delivery of the goods from the agent to the agent by e-mail There is a transaction system in which a settlement is made between an agent and a customer, and a partition price of a product is electronically settled between the agent and the agent (see Patent Document 1).
[0005]
Further, there is an electronic commerce system in which the concept of cooperation between a master dealer (general agent) or a maker and an agent is used to perform e-commerce using a network to increase customer satisfaction (see Patent Document 2). In this e-commerce system, a master dealer or a manufacturer receives product information from an agency, provides the product information to a customer using the agency name via a network, and requests a customer to purchase a product based on the provided information. Over the network (trade flow), sends information about the product purchase request to the agency, supplies the customer with the product purchase request to the customer (logistics), and the agency Collect money from customers (gold flow).

[Patent Document 2]
JP 2001-243372 A (abstract, claims 3, 4, and 1)
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the conventional purchasing system described above has the following problems from the viewpoint of convenience for customers. That is, in the ordering stage, when dealing with a plurality of suppliers, the customer has to input a different ID for each supplier and access each supplier server, which is troublesome.
[0008]
In addition, at the purchase price billing stage, each supplier is billed individually, and the billing time and the payment time and payment method are different for each supplier. There is a problem in that accounting processing and payment work must be performed each time, and this also takes time.
[0009]
In addition, because each supplier does not know how each customer is accounted for, it is unlikely that they will proactively issue invoices in a way that is appropriate for each customer, In response to a request from each supplier, it is necessary to judge the expense classification (management accounting unit, account item, etc.) each time according to their own accounting method, and perform the expense process, which is troublesome. is there.
[0010]
When the customer is, for example, a company, the department that orders and delivers the product may be different from the department that is responsible for paying for the purchase price of the product. Departments, etc.) can't immediately judge whether or not payment can be made for each supplier's request, and it may be necessary to check with the product ordering department, which is time-consuming. There's a problem.
[0011]
Further, the systems described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 described above attempt to increase the efficiency of transactions and improve customer satisfaction by interposing an agent or agency in the transaction. Does not eliminate the problem.
[0012]
An object of the present invention is to provide a centralized purchasing net system, a method for providing a centralized purchasing service, an agency server, and a program that can improve the convenience for customers.
[0013]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention is a centralized purchasing net system in which a customer orders and purchases goods via a network, a customer terminal device operated by the customer, a supplier server managed by a supplier that supplies goods to the customer, An agency server managed by an agency that mediates between the customer and the supplier is connected via a network, the supplier server includes order data receiving means for receiving order data pertaining to a product order ordered by the customer at the customer terminal device, and Based on the order data received by the order data receiving means, creates billing data to be sent to an agency for billing the purchase of the goods which have been delivered to the customer, or supports the creation of the billing data. The agency server purchases from predetermined purchase target products based on customer requests. Product selection screen storage means for storing a product selection screen for allowing a customer to select an article, and transmitting the product selection screen stored in the product selection screen storage means to the customer terminal device based on a request from the customer terminal device by the customer. The correspondence between a product selection screen transmitting means and a unit to be purchased and a unit and / or an account in management accounting for accounting for the product to be purchased is set as information predetermined for each customer based on the customer's request. Accounting processing division storage means for storing for each customer, billing data sent from each supplier as a purchase price bill for each customer's purchase of goods, and summarizing the billing data for each customer; A billing system that performs a process of allocating to management accounting units and / or accounts based on the information stored in the accounting process division storage means. It is characterized in that a only processing means.
[0014]
Here, the “network” includes, for example, the Internet, an intranet, an extranet, a local area network (LAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), a wide area network (WAN), or a combination thereof. , Various forms are included, irrespective of whether they are wired or wireless, or of a mixed type of wired and wireless, in short, between a plurality of points (regardless of the distance). Any device that can transmit information at a certain speed may be used.
[0015]
The “customer terminal device” may be, for example, a mobile phone (including a PHS), a personal digital assistant (PDA), or the like, in addition to the computer.
[0016]
Further, the “supplier server” and the “distributor server” are not limited to those realized by one computer or one CPU, but are realized by performing distributed processing by a plurality of computers or the like. You may.
[0017]
Then, the "order data receiving means" may receive the order data directly from the customer terminal device, or may receive the order data via the agency server.
[0018]
Further, the "claim data creating means" may be configured to automatically create the bill data based on the order data, or to assist the creation process of the bill data by manual or artificial judgment by the supplier. May be. The “billing data to be sent to the agency” created by the “billing data creating means” may be transmitted to the agency server via a network, for example, and may be sent in the form of a paper document to the agency. Or may be recorded on a recording medium such as a flexible disk (FD) and sent to an agent.
[0019]
Further, the “unit for management accounting” is, for example, an accounting unit adopted by a customer in order to grasp the cost required for each project, the cost used by each department in the company, and the like. The “account item” is, for example, in the case of a stationery, the expenditure process of the product to be purchased is performed in any account, such as which account such as a consumables account, an equipment account, or an office supplies account. Is stored in advance in order to determine in advance. Therefore, by combining the “unit for management accounting” and the “account item”, it is possible to perform an accounting process capable of grasping, for example, “expenses of a department”, “expenses of a project”, and the like. In the specification of the present application, “division” is used as a term of a superordinate concept of “unit in management accounting” and “account item”.
[0020]
The “billing assignment processing means” is configured to process “billing data sent from each supplier”. As described above, “sending” from each supplier includes transmission via a network, paper In this case, the "billing distribution processing means" may be configured to directly process billing data transmitted over a network, for example, The billing data inputted by the agent in charge of the agency may be processed while referring to the sent paper document, or the billing data read from the recording medium such as the FD may be processed. .
[0021]
In such a centralized purchasing network system of the present invention, a customer transmits order data for a product to be purchased from a customer terminal device, and a supplier receives the order data at a supplier server, and based on the order data, Create billing data, agency receives billing data from each supplier, summarizes billing for each customer, and manages billing for each of these customers according to the accounting method used by each customer Allocate to accounting units and / or accounts.
[0022]
This eliminates the need for customers to deal with individual bills from each supplier as in the past, and instead requires customers to respond to bills from agents who have consolidated the bills from each supplier. Office work is reduced.
[0023]
In addition, since the bills from the agency are allocated to management accounting units and / or accounts in accordance with the accounting method adopted by each customer, each customer is required to perform the expense processing for the bill from the agency. In doing so, there is no need to judge the expense classification (units and accounts in management accounting) each time according to their own accounting method, and this also reduces the burden of customer accounting. On the other hand, from the standpoint of the agency, it is possible to make a request according to the needs of each customer, so that more customers can be obtained.
[0024]
Therefore, the trouble of the accounting process of the customer is reduced, the convenience for the customer is improved, and the performance of the agency is also improved, thereby achieving the object.
[0025]
Further, in the centralized purchasing network system described above, the agency server connects the agency to the supplier server as the login ID for the customer to connect to the agency server. ID correspondence storage means for storing an ID correspondence relation for associating a supplier ID given by a supplier to a customer as a login ID for the customer, and associating a purchase target product with a designated supplier supplying the purchase target product to the customer Designated supplier storage means for storing for each customer the product / supplier correspondence as predetermined information based on the customer's request, and customer authentication processing based on the agency ID input by the customer at the customer terminal device. Authentication processing means, the product selection screen transmission means of the agency server, the authentication processing means The product selection screen prepared individually for each customer based on the product / supplier correspondence is transmitted to the customer terminal device operated by the customer who has passed the authentication process, and is displayed on the screen of the customer terminal device. When the customer selects a purchased product using the selected product selection screen, the supplier ID is automatically sent to the supplier server managed by the designated supplier corresponding to the selected purchased product based on the ID correspondence and the product / supplier correspondence. To be connected to the supplier server.
[0026]
Here, "When the customer selects a purchased product using the product selection screen displayed on the screen of the customer terminal device, the supplier ID is automatically transmitted to the supplier server, and the connection to the supplier server is established. The configuration to be performed includes the following configuration. That is, when the customer selects a product using the product selection screen on the customer terminal device, the product selection information (it can be said to be supplier selection information because the correspondence between the product and the supplier is predetermined) is the agency server. When the agent server receives the product selection information (or the supplier selection information), the supplier ID is transmitted from the agent server to the supplier server to access the supplier server. In addition, when the customer terminal device accesses the agency server and acquires the address information (for example, URL or the like) of the supplier server and the supplier ID from the agency server, when the customer selects a product using the product selection screen, This also includes a configuration in which the supplier ID is directly transmitted from the customer terminal device to the supplier server to access the supplier server.
[0027]
In the case where the connection to the supplier is made only by the customer inputting the agency ID without inputting the supplier ID, the customer can perform a transaction with a plurality of suppliers in the conventional manner. It is no longer necessary to enter a different ID for each supplier to access each supplier server, and only the agency ID needs to be entered, so that the trouble of the customer at the ordering stage is reduced, and the convenience for the customer is further improved. Further improve.
[0028]
In addition, since the product selection screen transmission means of the agency server transmits a product selection screen prepared individually for each customer based on the product / supplier correspondence, each customer can only select the purchase target products determined by himself / herself. Since the user can refer to and select a product to be purchased from among them, and does not need to look through an extra product other than the product to be purchased, the trouble of the customer in the ordering stage is reduced in this point as well.
[0029]
Furthermore, from the perspective of an agency, for example, suppliers that can supply products at low cost, suppliers that handle high-quality products and easy-to-use products, and suppliers that quickly deliver goods, etc., are selected, and these are provided to customers. Introducing suppliers and implementing automatic links to these supplier servers will make it easier to acquire customers.
[0030]
In the case where the connection to the supplier is made only by the customer inputting the agent ID without inputting the supplier ID as described above, the agent stored in the ID correspondence storage means of the agent server is used. The shop ID includes a plurality of agency IDs assigned to the customer so that the customer can use the plurality of agency IDs according to the purpose. When distributing the billing data for the product ordered by inputting, it is preferable that the management accounting unit and / or account to be distributed be determined based on the agency ID used at the time of ordering the product. .

Here, the “delivery confirmation screen creation means” may perform the creation / update processing of the delivery confirmation screen every time the delivery confirmation screen is transmitted to the customer terminal device by the delivery confirmation screen transmission means, or may be performed every time the transmission is performed. Instead, the creation / update processing may be performed before transmission. In the latter case, the delivery confirmation screen created and updated in advance is stored in the delivery confirmation screen storage means, and transmitted to the customer terminal device by the delivery confirmation screen transmission means. Note that “creation / update” means that a new delivery confirmation screen is created when the order history data changes due to the addition of new order data, or when the delivery completed information is input and the delivery presence / absence information changes. Meaning.
[0034]
The order data constituting the order history data stored in the "order history data storage means" is the order data transmitted from the customer terminal device to the supplier server, obtained by the agency server from the supplier server and accumulated. Alternatively, the order data transmitted directly from the customer terminal device to the agency server may be stored.

In the case where delivery is confirmed in this manner, the agent refers to the delivery information when making a request to each customer, so that the request from each supplier and the By performing a process of comparing the status with the status, it is possible to confirm in advance whether there is no mistake in the request from each supplier.
[0036]
If the customer is, for example, a company, and the product ordering department (for example, the company's on-site department) is different from the department that pays for the purchase price (for example, the financial department of the company), the department in charge of delivery is By referring to the confirmation screen, troublesome confirmation work such as inquiries to the product ordering department can be omitted, so that it is possible to easily determine whether or not payment can be made for the bill. . For this reason, the work load of the department in charge of payment is reduced. This is effective from the viewpoint of further assuring the processing even if the above-mentioned comparison and collation processing is performed by the agency in advance.
[0037]
In the case where the delivery can be confirmed as described above, the supplier server includes a billing data transmitting unit that transmits the billing data created by the billing data creating unit to the agency server. A billing data receiving unit that receives billing data transmitted from the billing data transmitting unit, and compares and compares the billing data received by the billing data receiving unit with the delivery presence information stored in the delivery presence information storage unit. It is desirable to provide a configuration including a billing data collating unit for confirming the consistency or supporting the confirmation.
[0038]
Here, the "billing data collating means" may be configured to automatically compare and collate the billing data received from the supplier server with the delivery presence information stored in the delivery presence information storage means, or A configuration that supports such comparison and collation processing in the form of manual work or artificial judgment by the user may be used.
[0039]
In the case where the billing data collating means for comparing and collating the billing data from each supplier with the information on the presence or absence of delivery is provided as described above, the agent performs the comparison by the billing data collating means in advance before billing each customer. By performing the collation processing, it becomes possible to make a bill to each customer only for billing data having no error.
[0040]
Furthermore, in the case where the billing data collating means is provided as described above, there is a return on the delivery confirmation screen not only for the delivered input section for performing the delivered input but also for inputting that the returned product has been returned. An input unit may be provided, and the billing data matching means of the agency server may be configured to compare and match the billing data with reference to not only the delivery presence information but also the return presence information.
[0041]
In the case where the billing data matching means is configured to perform the comparison and matching process with reference to the return / non-existence information, the billing data from each supplier can be more reliably checked.

In this embodiment, a series of transaction processing such as ordering, delivery, and billing of a product is performed using the centralized purchasing network system 10 as described below.
[0097]
FIG. 2 shows the flow of processing in the preparation stage. In FIG. 2, first, the agency bids each supplier or receives a sale from each supplier (step S101), and then determines the price, quality, stock quantity, delivery date, etc. of the product sold by each supplier. The conditions are examined, and the supplier who carries out the transaction is selected (step S102).
[0098]
Next, the agency performs consultation for each customer. Specifically, the agency listens to the customer for the product to be purchased (the product that may be purchased), and classifies when accounting for the product to be purchased (what account should be used, Or what kind of management accounting unit should be used) (step S103). It should be noted that these desired communications may be made verbally or in writing.
[0099]
After that, the agency introduces to the customer a supplier that seems to be optimal or a supplier that satisfies the customer's needs for each product determined as a product to be purchased by the customer (step S104). At this time, for one product, only one supplier or a plurality of suppliers that are considered to be optimal or satisfy customer needs may be introduced. In addition, suppliers are not fixed, but are reviewed regularly or irregularly, re-negotiated, re-bid, etc. and repeat the selection process, so that the price, quality, inventory amount, delivery date etc. In each condition aspect, we can continue to introduce customers with better conditions to customers. Note that the customer may select a supplier different from the supplier recommended by the agency and determine it as the designated supplier. Finally, one supplier is determined as a designated supplier for one product.
[0100]
Further, the agency gives the customer an agency ID for logging in to the agency server 60 (step S104). At this time, only one agency ID is presented to the customer, and each supplier ID for logging in to each supplier server 30 is given to the customer for use in internal processing. , The customer does not recognize each supplier ID. Therefore, the customer only needs to use one unified ID (agent ID), and thereby single sign-on (see FIG. 4) is realized. Further, as for the password input together with the ID at the time of login, one unified password may be used as in the case of the ID. When the customer uses the agency ID according to the purpose, the agency assigns a plurality of agency IDs to one customer.
[0101]
Then, after completing the consultation for each customer, the agency sends to the accounting processing division storage means 72, the ID correspondence storage means 73, and the designated supplier storage means 74 of the agency server 60 based on the information obtained in the consultation. Is recorded, and a different product selection screen 110 (see FIG. 5) is prepared for each customer and stored in the product selection screen storage means 71.
[0102]
FIG. 3 shows the flow of the process at the order stage. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of “single sign-on” in the order stage processing. FIG. 5 shows a screen transition of the customer terminal device 20 accompanying the order stage processing.
[0103]
In FIG. 3, first, the customer operates the customer terminal device 20 to access the home page of the agency (step S201). Then, a log-in screen 100 as shown in FIG. 5 is transmitted from the agency server 60 to the customer terminal device 20 via the network 1 (step S202), and displayed on the screen of the customer terminal device 20.
[0104]
In FIG. 5, the login screen 100 is provided with an ID input unit 101 for inputting an agency ID and a password input unit 102 for inputting a password. The customer inputs the agency ID and the password using the login screen 100, transmits these to the agency server 60 via the network 1, and makes a login request (step S203).
[0105]
In the agency server 60, upon receiving the agency ID and the password, the authentication processing means 62 performs authentication processing of the accessing customer (step S204), and then selects whether to place an order or to confirm delivery. An order / delivery confirmation selection screen that is not performed is transmitted to the customer terminal device 20 (step S205).
[0106]
When the customer selects an order on the order / delivery confirmation selection screen displayed on the customer terminal device 20, a request signal for the product selection screen is transmitted to the agency server 60 (step S206). When the agency server 60 receives the request signal for the product selection screen, the product selection screen transmitting means 61 displays the product selection screen 110 as shown in FIG. The data is transmitted to the terminal device 20 (step S207).
[0107]
In FIG. 5, a product selection screen 110 displays products to be purchased by each customer. For example, when the customer A specifies products a, b, and w as purchase target products, the product selection screen 110A that the customer A sees on the screen of the customer terminal device 20 of the customer A displays the products a, b A screen provided with respective selection units for selecting b and w is provided. When the customer Z specifies products c and w as purchase target products, the customer Z uses the screen of the customer terminal device 20 of the customer Z. The product selection screen 110Z seen above is a screen provided with respective selection units for selecting the products c and w.
[0108]
In addition, the product selection screen 110 may be layered. For example, when a product such as “stationery” is selected, products of lower concepts such as “pencil” and “eraser” are displayed, and further, “pencil” is selected. Then, a product of a lower concept such as “Mitsubishi pencil” or “dragonfly pencil” may be displayed. In the case of the above example, the relationship between a product maker such as "Mitsubishi" or "dragonfly" and a supplier who is a product distributor is not questioned in the present invention, but the maker itself sells. In such a case, the manufacturer may be the supplier in the present invention.
[0109]
On the product selection screen 110 of FIG. 5, when the customer clicks any product selection section to select a product, the product selection information is transmitted to the agency server 60 via the network 1 (step S208). Upon receiving the product selection information, the agency server 60 specifies the designated supplier corresponding to the selected product based on the product-supplier correspondence stored in the specified supplier storage means 74 (the accessing customer designates the product. The supplier ID of the designated supplier (which the designated supplier accesses to the customer who has accessed it) based on the ID correspondence stored in the ID correspondence storage unit 73 (see FIG. 4). The assigned login ID is grasped (step S209). For example, the accessing customer is company A, and the user inputs “D01031200” as the agency ID on the login screen 100 of FIG. 5 (see FIG. 4) and selects the product w on the product selection screen 110A of FIG. In this case, based on the product / supplier correspondence, it is determined that the designated supplier is ω company. Further, based on the ID correspondence shown in FIG. 4, the supplier for the customer A to access the site of the designated supplier ω company The ID is determined to be “a2375”.
[0110]
Subsequently, the agency server 60 transmits the supplier ID (in the above example, “a2375”) to the supplier server 30 managed by the identified designated supplier (the ω company in the above example) via the network 1. (Step S210). Upon receiving the supplier ID, the supplier server 30 grasps the customer (Company A in the above example) corresponding to the received supplier ID, and sends the order screen transmission means 31 to the customer terminal device 20 operated by the customer. An order screen 120 as shown in FIG. 5 is transmitted via the network 1 (step S211).
[0111]
In FIG. 5, the order screen 120 of each supplier displayed on the customer terminal device 20 is stored in the order screen storage means 41 of each supplier server 30 and is a form unique to each supplier. It may be a unified form.
[0112]
When the customer places an order on the customer terminal device 20 using the order screen 120 of FIG. 5, order data is transmitted from the customer terminal device 20 to the supplier server 30 via the network 1 (step S212). The order data may be transmitted from the customer terminal device 20 to the supplier server 30 via the agency server 60, or may be transmitted from the customer terminal device 20 to the supplier server 30 and the agency server 60 in parallel. (The transmission is not limited to the simultaneous transmission, but includes transmission at a different time.)
[0113]
In the supplier server 30, the order data is received by the order data receiving means 32 (step S213), and the order data is stored in the order data storage means 42 and stored (step S214). Thereafter, the supplier server 30 sends an order confirmation mail to the agent and the customer (step S215), and the agent and the customer confirm the contents of the mail with the agent terminal device 50 and the customer terminal device 20, respectively.
[0114]
In the agency server 60, the order data acquisition means 63 acquires the order data stored in the order data storage means 42 of the supplier server 30 from the supplier server 30 via the network 1 periodically or at appropriate timing. Then, this is stored in the order history data storage means 75 and stored.
[0115]
FIG. 6 shows the flow of processing at the delivery stage. In FIG. 6, first, the supplier directly sends out a product to the customer based on order data from the customer (step S301). At this time, the shipment of goods from each supplier to each customer is performed individually. The example of the flow of goods shown in FIG. 6 corresponds to the example of FIG.
[0116]
Subsequently, the customer receives the product sent from the supplier, and after completing the acceptance of the product, operates the customer terminal device 20 to perform a delivery confirmation operation. Specifically, after performing the same processing as steps S201 to S205 in the processing flow of the order stage in FIG. 3 described above, the delivery is confirmed on an order / delivery confirmation selection screen (not shown) displayed on the customer terminal device 20. Is transmitted to the agent server 60 via the network 1 (step S302).
[0117]
When the agency server 60 receives the request signal for the delivery confirmation screen, the delivery confirmation screen creation means 64 causes the order history data stored in the order history data storage means 75 and the delivery presence / absence stored in the delivery presence / absence information storage means 76. After a delivery confirmation screen 130 as shown in FIG. 6 is created based on the information (return information may be added) (step S303), the delivery confirmation screen transmitting means 65 converts the delivery confirmation screen 130 to a network. 1 to the customer terminal device 20 (step S304). Instead of creating the delivery confirmation screen 130 every time transmission is performed, the delivery confirmation screen 130 may be created / updated before transmission.
[0118]
In FIG. 6, the delivery confirmation screen 130 is provided with a check column 131 for inputting a delivery completed, and further provided with a date display column 132, a product display column 133, an amount display column 134, and the like. When the customer checks the check box 131 for an order whose delivery has been completed and makes a delivered input (step S305), the delivered input information is transmitted from the customer terminal device 20 to the agency server 60 via the network 1. (Step S306).
[0119]
In the agency server 60, after the delivered input information is received by the delivered input information receiving means 66 (step S307), the delivered input information is stored in the delivery presence information storage means 76 (step S308).
[0120]
FIG. 7 shows the flow of processing in the billing stage. In FIG. 7, first, in the supplier server 30, based on the order data received by the order data receiving means 32 and stored in the order data storage means 42, the billing data creating means 34 substitutes for the goods which have been delivered to the customer. The billing data to be sent to the store is automatically created (step S401). In addition, a person in charge of the supplier operates the supplier terminal device 80 (or input means, display means, output means, etc. directly connected to the supplier server 30) and generates billing data with the assistance of the billing data creating means 34. Work may be performed.
[0121]
Next, the created billing data is transmitted to the agency server 60 via the network 1 by the billing data transmitting means 35 (step S402). It should be noted that the billing data may be sent in the form of a paper document or sent on a recording medium such as an FD, instead of being sent through the network 1.
[0122]
Subsequently, in the agency server 60, after the billing data is received from the supplier server 30 by the billing data receiving means 67 (step S403), the billing data received by the billing data collating means 68 is compared with the delivery information storage means. The process automatically compares and compares the delivery presence information (return presence information may be added) stored in the storage device 76 with the delivery presence information (step S404). In this case, if the billing data does not match the delivery information, the agent checks with the supplier whether the billing data is correct or whether the product has been sent or delivered. At the same time, if necessary, the customer confirms whether or not the customer has delivered the product, or checks whether or not the user has forgotten the delivery completed input.
[0123]
It should be noted that the person in charge of the agency operates the agency terminal device 50 (or input means, display means, output means, etc. directly connected to the agency server 60), and with the assistance of the billing data collating means 68 The comparison and collation work between the data and the delivery information may be performed. When the billing data is sent from the supplier to the agent in the form of a paper document, the agent in charge of the agent operates the agent terminal device 50 and the customer views the delivery data on the customer terminal device 20. With reference to the same screen as the confirmation screen 130 (see FIG. 6), the comparison and collation work between the billing data (data printed or written on a paper document) and the delivery presence / absence information may be performed.
[0124]
In the agency server 60, when the check of the billing data is completed, the billing distribution processing means 69 summarizes the billing data from each supplier for each customer, and performs accounting processing on the billing data compiled for each customer. Based on the information stored in the classification storage means 72, a process of allocating to management accounting units and / or accounts is performed according to an accounting method for each customer (step S405). Further, the agency server 60 performs a process of printing a bill to each customer based on the allocated billing data (step S406).
[0125]
Thereafter, the agency periodically sends an invoice to each customer (step S407), and each customer collectively pays the invoice from the agency (summarizing the invoice from each supplier). Then, the agent divides the lump-sum payment from each customer for each supplier, and then pays each supplier individually (step S409). At this time, the time at which the agent sends the invoice to each customer in step S407 may be a time according to each customer's request (for example, a time convenient for each customer's accounting processing and payment work). . In addition, when each customer pays the agent in step S408, for example, the customer is a company or the like, and a product ordering department (for example, a site section of the company) and a department in charge of the purchase price (for example, the company) Is different from the financial department, the payment department refers to the delivery confirmation screen 130 in FIG. 6 to determine whether the payment from the agency can be made or not. Is also good.
[0126]
According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. That is, since the centralized purchasing network system 10 includes the bill distribution processing means 69 in the agency server 60, the agency can receive the billing data from each supplier and summarize the bill for each customer. This eliminates the need for customers to deal with individual bills from each supplier as in the past, and instead requires customers to respond to bills from agents who have consolidated the bills from each supplier. Administrative work can be reduced, and convenience for customers can be improved. In detail, the effect of reducing the labor of payment work is described in detail. Conventionally, payment work has been performed for each customer for each individual bill from each supplier. Since the billing is performed periodically at a time, the payment for the bill can be completed by a single payment to the agency, and the payment work for the customer can be made more efficient.
[0127]
Further, since the centralized purchasing net system 10 includes the bill distribution processing means 69 and the accounting processing division storage means 72, when the agency makes a bill to each customer, the accounting processing employed by each customer is performed. Bills can be distributed to management accounting units and / or accounts according to the method. As a result, each customer does not need to judge the expense classification (management accounting unit or account) each time according to his or her own accounting method when processing expenses from the agency bill. In this respect, it is possible to reduce the trouble of the customer's accounting. On the other hand, from the point of view of the agency, bills can be made according to the needs of each customer, so that more customers can be obtained.
[0128]
Furthermore, in the centralized purchasing network system 10, the customer is connected to the supplier only by inputting the agency ID without inputting the supplier ID, and single sign-on (see FIG. 4) is realized. It is not necessary to enter a different ID for each supplier to access each supplier server as in the conventional case when conducting a transaction with a plurality of suppliers, and it is only necessary to enter the agency ID. The burden on the customer can be reduced, and the convenience for the customer can be further improved.
[0129]
Then, the product selection screen transmitting means 61 of the agency server 60 transmits the product selection screen 110 prepared individually for each customer based on the product / supplier correspondence (see FIG. 5). Can only select products to be purchased by referring to the products to be purchased, and eliminate the need to look through extra products other than the products to be purchased. Can be reduced.
[0130]
Furthermore, from the point of view of an agency, for example, we introduce customers who can supply products at a low price, suppliers who handle high-quality products and easy-to-use products, and suppliers who deliver goods quickly, etc. By turning on (see FIG. 4), automatic links to these supplier servers 30 can be realized, so that customers can be easily acquired.
[0131]
By bidding and selecting suppliers and competing with each other, it is possible to provide customers with a better place to purchase products. In this respect, it is easy to acquire customers. it can.
[0132]
On the other hand, looking at the above from the customer's point of view, the bidding and selection of suppliers is performed by the agency, so the customer has to deal with the trouble of selecting suppliers, negotiating prices with suppliers and negotiating delivery dates. It is possible to receive a product at a competitive price or to provide a product under favorable conditions in other conditions without performing such work. For this reason, the labor of the customer can be reduced. Furthermore, if operations such as bidding and selection of suppliers by the agency are repeated, the supply of goods under favorable conditions can be constantly maintained, and the customer always purchases goods under favorable conditions without hassle. be able to.
[0133]
Further, since a plurality of agency IDs can be assigned to one company or one customer, the customer can use the respective agency IDs according to the purpose, and can handle the expense for each project or each department. Can be performed, and the convenience for the customer can be further improved.
[0134]
Further, since the centralized purchasing network system 10 includes the delivery confirmation screen creating means 64, the delivery confirmation screen transmitting means 65, the delivered input information receiving means 66, and the delivery presence / absence information storage means 76 in the agency server 60, When making a request to each customer, the store compares the request from each supplier with the status of whether or not there is a delivery by referring to the delivery status information. It can be checked in advance whether or not there is any.
[0135]
If the customer is, for example, a company, and the product ordering department (for example, the on-site department of the company) and the department in charge of the purchase price (for example, the finance department of the company) are different, the department in charge of payment is By referring to the delivery confirmation screen 130 of No. 6, it is possible to omit troublesome confirmation work such as inquiries to the product ordering department, so that it is easy to determine whether or not to pay for a request from the agency. Can be determined. For this reason, the work load of the department in charge of payment can be reduced.
[0136]
Then, since the centralized purchasing network system 10 includes the billing data matching means 68, the agency performs the comparison and matching processing by the billing data matching means 68 in advance before billing each customer, and there is no error. Each customer can be billed for only the billing data.
[0137]
It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and modifications and the like within a range that can achieve the object of the present invention are included in the present invention.
[0138]
That is, in the above-described embodiment, when implementing single sign-on to connect to the supplier by inputting only the agency ID, the supplier ID is directly transmitted from the customer terminal device 20 to the supplier server as shown in steps S208 to S210 in FIG. The configuration is such that the supplier ID is transmitted from the agency server 60 to the supplier server 30 instead of being transmitted to the supplier server 30, that is, the process of grasping the designated supplier and the process of grasping the supplier ID are performed by the agency server 60. However, the configuration for implementing single sign-on is not limited to this. For example, when the customer terminal device 20 accesses the agency server 60, the address information (for example, URL or the like) of the supplier server 30 and the supplier ID are acquired from the agency server 60, and the customer selects the product selection screen 110 (FIG. 5), the supplier ID may be directly transmitted from the customer terminal device 20 to the supplier server 30 to access the supplier server 30.
[0139]
Further, in the flowchart of FIG. 3 in the embodiment, as shown in steps S212 and S213, a state where the order data by the customer is directly transmitted from the customer terminal device 20 to the supplier server 30 is illustrated. The flow of order data is not limited to this, and order data may be transmitted from the customer terminal device 20 to the supplier server 30 via the agency server 60.
[0140]
Further, in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the agency pays each supplier (step S409) after receiving payment from each customer (step S408). Payment may be made to each supplier before payment is received.
[0141]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the agency receives the billing data from each supplier, summarizes the billing for each customer by the billing distribution processing means of the agency server, and further sends the billing to each of these customers. Is distributed to management accounting units and / or accounts according to the accounting method adopted by each customer, so that the burden of customer accounting can be reduced, and the convenience for the customer can be improved. There is an effect that it can be achieved.
