[0070]
Next, the prediction processing will be described.
FIG. 13 shows a processing flowchart of the prediction processing of the management server 43.
When the prediction process is instructed, the management server 43 refers to the application fee request flag in the supplier database unit 46-i in step S5-1 to extract a case for which the application amount has not been claimed. The management server 43 acquires the corresponding expense master by referring to the patent common database unit 45 based on the office book name, the procedure of the extracted matter, the rank, and the like in step S5-2.
[0071]
The management server 43 calculates an estimated fee from the average of the number of bills, the number of lines of description, and the number of drawings in the expense master acquired in step S5-3. For example, consider the case of calculating an estimated fee using the expense master shown in FIG.
First, the basic fee is 100,000 yen. Further, since the average of the number of claims is four, the addition of the number of claims becomes one by subtracting the three terms, which are the conditions for claiming the basic fee, from the average number of four claims. Therefore, the additional charge of the claim is 1 × 2000 = 2000 yen.
[0072]
Further, since the average number of specification lines is 545 items, by subtracting 200 lines, which is the condition for the number of specification lines of the basic fee, from the average 545 lines of specification lines, the number of specification lines is increased to 345 lines. It becomes. Therefore, the additional charge for the number of lines of the description is 345 × 200 = 69000 yen.
[0073]
Furthermore, since the average of the number of drawings is seven, the number of drawings is added by subtracting one, which is the condition of the number of drawings of the basic fee, from the average of seven drawings. Therefore, the additional charge for the number of drawings is 6 × 2000 = 12000 yen.
[0074]
Therefore, the estimated billing charge is
100000 + 2000 + 69000 + 12000 = 181,000 yen
It becomes.
[0075]
You can predict the billing fee for cases for which no billing statement has been issued. This makes it possible to accurately predict the budget and the like.
[0076]
The above-described prediction processing is performed for each case for which a fee has not been charged, and by summing up, the payment fee to the corresponding office can be predicted.
[0077]
