Description

The present invention relates to a business support device, a business support method, and a business support program.

The vehicle allocation planning method disclosed in Patent Document 1 (JP Patent Publication 2003-233896A) transmits cargo request information requesting cargo to be transported from multiple vehicles and vehicle request information from a shipper requesting the transport of cargo to a distribution center. Based on the vehicle request information from the shipper, the vehicle allocation planning device of the distribution center determines vehicles that are present in a predetermined area centered on the shipper's shipping point and that are transmitting cargo request information. At this time, the vehicle allocation planning device of the distribution center prioritizes vehicles owned by transportation companies with small opportunity index values based on delivery performance and transportation capacity as a vehicle allocation plan, and selects vehicles with small actual driving distances. This ensures fairness in contract opportunities between shippers and transportation companies among each transportation company, and also makes it possible to create vehicle allocation plans that reduce delivery costs.

Below, a business support device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment.

(Hardware configuration)
1, the business support device 1 of the embodiment includes a storage unit 2, a control unit 3, a communication interface unit 4, and an input/output interface unit 5. An input device 6 and an output device 7 are connected to the input/output interface unit 5. The output device 7 corresponds to a display unit such as a monitor device (including a home television), a printing device, a speaker device, etc. As the input device 6, a keyboard device, a mouse device, a microphone device, etc., as well as a monitor device that cooperates with a mouse device to realize a pointing device function, etc. can be used.

The communication interface unit 4 is connected to a network 35, for example, a wide area network such as the Internet or a private network such as a LAN (Local Area Network). This network 35 is connected to a payment source affiliated bank server device 31 with which the company or the like that owns the business support device 1 is affiliated, a payment source affiliated bank server device 32 with which a payee to which the company or the like that owns the business support device 1 has requested the delivery of goods is affiliated, and a payment destination terminal device 33 owned by the payee.

As will be described in more detail below, when the goods are transported by the payee, the business operator makes a request to the payment source affiliated bank server device 31 via the business support device 1 to remit the freight. The payment source affiliated bank server device 31 then processes the remittance of the amount equivalent to the freight to the payment destination affiliated bank server device 32. The payment destination affiliated bank server device 32 processes the deposit of the remitted freight and notifies the payment destination terminal device 33 owned by the payee of the deposit. This completes the payment of the freight from the payment source to the payee.

The storage unit 2 may be, for example, a storage device such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a HDD (Hard Disk Drive), or an SSD (Solid State Drive). The storage unit 2 stores a business support program for supporting cost management operations such as the calculation of overhead based on charge rates and the creation of journal data. The storage unit 2 also stores a transportation method master 11, a distance group master 12, and a freight rate/transportation days master 13. The storage unit 2 also stores sales data, sales charges data, sales allocation details data, and payment schedule data, which will be described later.

Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of the transportation method master 11. As shown in this figure, the transportation method master 11 stores the transportation company code, transportation company name, owned transportation vehicle code, owned transportation vehicle name, and maximum load capacity (kg) of each transportation vehicle, etc., in association with each other. The example in Figure 2 shows that "XX Transportation" with transportation company code "HGS100" owns a "5 ton truck" with owned transportation vehicle code "HAI100" and a maximum load capacity of "5,000 kg (5 t)", and a "10 ton truck" with owned transportation vehicle code "HAI200" and a maximum load capacity of "10,000 kg (10 t)".

Figure 3 is a diagram showing an example of the distance group master 12. As shown in this Figure 3, the distance group master 12 stores, in association with each other, the warehouse code of the warehouse from which the goods to be transported are shipped, the warehouse name, the delivery destination code of the goods to be delivered, the delivery destination name, the distance group to which the transportation distance from the warehouse to the delivery destination belongs, and the distance range of each distance group (transportation distance (shortest) to transportation distance (longest)). The example in Figure 3 shows that when a product stored in "XX warehouse" with warehouse code "SOU100" is transported to "XX factory" with delivery destination code "NOU100", the distance group for the transportation distance is "K100", and the transportation distance of this "K100" distance group is in the distance range of 0 km to 100 km.

Similarly, the example in Figure 3 shows that when a product stored in the "XX Warehouse" with warehouse code "SOU100" is transported to the "△△ Factory" with delivery destination code "NOU200", the distance group for the transport distance is "K200", and the transport distance for this "K200" distance group is in the range of 100km to 200km.

Figure 4 is a diagram showing an example of the freight unit price/transportation days master 13. As shown in this figure, the freight unit price/transportation days master 13 stores the freight company code, freight company name, owned freight vehicles, and distance group of each of the above-mentioned freight companies, as well as the quantity unit price (yen/kg), freight per vehicle (yen/trip), and number of transport days corresponding to each owned freight vehicle, in association with each other.

The unit price per unit quantity (yen/kg) is an example of a transportation cost, and is the freight required to transport 1 kg of goods. The example in Figure 4 shows that when a 5-ton truck from XX Transport is used to transport a distance in the "K100" distance group, a freight charge of "1.00 yen" is required for 1 kg of goods. The example in Figure 4 also shows that when a 5-ton truck from △△ Transport is used to transport a distance in the "K200" distance group, a freight charge of "1.75 yen" is required for 1 kg of goods. Such unit prices per unit quantity (yen/kg) are used to calculate the transportation weight freight charge by multiplying it by the weight of the goods being transported, as described below.

The freight charge per vehicle (yen/trip) is the freight charge for each transport vehicle for one transport of goods. The example in Figure 4 shows that when a 5-ton truck from XX Transport is used for transporting a distance in the "K100" distance group, the freight charge will be "3,500 yen." The example in Figure 4 also shows that when a 5-ton truck from △△ Transport is used for transporting a distance in the "K200" distance group, the freight charge will be "5,000 yen."

The number of transport days indicates the number of days it takes for the transport vehicle to transport the distance indicated in each distance group. The example in Figure 4 shows that a 5-ton truck from XX Transport takes "2 days" to transport the distance in the "K100" distance group. The example in Figure 4 also shows that a 5-ton truck from △△ Transport takes "5 days" to transport the distance in the "K200" distance group.

In the case of the business support device 1 according to the embodiment, the desired transportation mode is selected from among "a transportation mode in which the freight of the goods is paid at a transportation weight freight rate obtained by multiplying the weight of the goods to be transported by the quantity unit price", "a transportation mode in which the freight of the goods is paid at a freight rate per vehicle set for one trip by the transport vehicle", and "a transportation mode that prioritizes the number of transportation days" based on the unit price per unit of quantity, freight rate per vehicle, and the like. Details will be described later.

(Functional configuration of the business support device)
1, the control unit 3 executes the business assistance program stored in the storage unit 2, thereby functioning as an acquisition unit 21, a detection unit 22, a calculation unit 23, a selection unit 24, a data generation unit 25, a display control unit 26, a print control unit 27, and a communication control unit 28. The display control unit 26 and the print control unit 27 are examples of an output control unit.

Specifically, the acquisition unit 21 acquires information indicating the weight of the goods to be transported and the transport route, which is input by the business operator, for example. The information indicating the transport route includes the warehouse code and warehouse name of the warehouse where the goods are stored and shipped, and the factory code and factory name of the destination of the goods, etc.

The detection unit 22 refers to the distance group master 12 shown in FIG. 3 based on the information indicating the acquired transportation route, and detects the distance group corresponding to the input warehouse and delivery destination. The detection unit 22 also refers to the freight unit price/transportation days master 13 shown in FIG. 4 based on the detected distance group, and detects the records (rows of transportation company, owned transportation vehicles, quantity unit price, freight per vehicle, and number of transportation days) corresponding to the detected distance group. In the example of FIG. 4, for example, if the distance group "K100" is detected, the records in the top row to the fourth row in FIG. 4 are detected.

The detection unit 22 also detects the maximum load capacity of the transport vehicles for each record detected in the freight unit price/transportation days master 13 in FIG. 4 by referring to the exercise method master 11 shown in FIG. 2, and detects from among these the transport vehicles that can carry the weight of the goods to be transported and have the maximum load capacity closest to the weight of the goods to be transported.

The detection unit 22 further detects the unit price per unit of quantity (one example of the unit price of transportation) and the freight per vehicle of the detected transportation vehicle by referring to the freight unit price/transportation days master 13 in FIG. 4. The calculation unit 23 calculates the freight per unit of quantity by multiplying the weight of the goods being transported by the detected unit price of the transportation vehicle.

When selecting a transportation mode in which the freight of the goods is paid based on the transportation weight freight, or a transportation mode in which the freight of the goods is paid based on the vehicle freight set for one trip of the transportation vehicle, the selection unit 24 selects the transportation mode corresponding to the lowest freight amount among the detected transportation weight freight of the transportation vehicle and the vehicle freight as the transportation mode to be used for transporting the goods.

In addition, the business support device 1 of this embodiment allows the selection of a transportation mode that prioritizes freight charges (priority on amount) and a transportation mode that prioritizes delivery dates (priority on delivery dates).

When the selection unit 24 acquires the designation information of "priority of amount," when selecting a transportation mode in which the freight of the goods is paid based on the transportation weight freight, or a transportation mode in which the freight of the goods is paid based on the vehicle freight set for one transportation of the transportation vehicle, the selection unit 24 selects, as the transportation mode to be used for transporting the goods, the transportation mode corresponding to the lowest freight amount among the detected transportation weight freight of the transportation vehicle and the detected vehicle freight of the transportation vehicle.

In contrast, when information specifying delivery date priority is acquired, the selection unit 24 refers to the number of transportation days stored in the freight unit price/transportation days master 13 shown in FIG. 4, and selects the transport vehicle with the shortest number of transportation days from among the detected transport vehicles, and selects, as the transport mode to be used for transporting the goods, the transport mode corresponding to the lower freight fee among the transport modes in which the freight fee for the selected transport vehicle is paid at the freight weight of the transport vehicle, or the transport mode in which the freight fee for the goods is paid at the freight fee per vehicle set for one transport of the transport vehicle.

The data generation unit 25 generates payment schedule data including the payment amount, which is the transportation weight freight or vehicle freight amount for the transportation mode selected by the selection unit 24, and the transportation company of the transportation vehicle to which payment is to be made. The display control unit 26, which is an example of an output control unit, displays the generated payment schedule data via the display unit, which is the output device 7. Alternatively, the print control unit 27, which is an example of an output control unit, controls the printing of the generated payment schedule data via the printing device, which is the output device 7.

The data generation unit 25 also generates sales performance data including the product weight, the product cost price, the sales amount corresponding to the product weight, the transportation weight freight or vehicle freight amount for the transportation mode selected by the selection unit 24, and gross profit obtained by subtracting the cost price and the transportation weight freight or vehicle freight amount from the sales amount. The display control unit 26, which is an example of an output control unit, displays the generated sales performance data via the display unit, which is the output device 7. Alternatively, the print control unit 27, which is an example of an output control unit, controls the printing of the generated sales performance data via the printing device, which is the output device 7.

When the payee is requested to transport the goods (prepayment) or the goods are transported by the payee (postpayment), the business operator makes a request to the payment source affiliated bank server device 31 to remit the freight via the business support device 1. The communication control unit 28 communicates with the payment source affiliated bank server device 31 to make a request to the payee to remit the freight.

The payment source affiliated bank server device 31 transfers the amount equivalent to the fare to the payment destination affiliated bank server device 32. The payment destination affiliated bank server device 32 deposits the transferred fare and notifies the payment destination terminal device 33 owned by the payment destination of the deposit. This completes the payment of the fare from the payment source to the payment destination.

(Supporting the selection of the most suitable transportation mode)
Next, the operation of supporting the selection of the optimal transportation mode in the operation support device 1 of the embodiment having the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart of Fig. 5. In the flowchart of Fig. 5, in step S1, the sales input of the product input by the operation operator is processed.

That is, when entering sales of a product, the business operator specifies the display of the sales input screen via the input device 6. When this specification operation is performed, the display control unit 26 displays the sales input screen illustrated in FIG. 6 via the output device 7. The business operator inputs the sales date into this sales input screen. The display control unit 26 automatically assigns a sales number, such as "URI100," and inputs it into the sales number display field on the sales input screen. The display control unit 26 also displays the sales date, such as "October 1, 2022," entered by the business operator in the sales date input field on the sales input screen.

The business operator also selects the customer code of the customer, the delivery destination code of the delivery destination, and the warehouse code of the warehouse where the goods are stored based on the sales input screen. The display control unit 26 displays the customer name, such as "XX trading company," corresponding to the selected customer code together with the customer code, displays the delivery destination name, such as "XX factory," corresponding to the delivery destination code together with the delivery destination code, and displays the warehouse name, such as "XX warehouse," corresponding to the warehouse code together with the warehouse code.

The business operator also inputs the product code, product name, sales quantity (kg), sales amount (yen), and cost price (yen) of each product that has been sold into the input field for each sales detail. The example in FIG. 6 shows that the sales quantity of a product with the product code "SHO101" and the product name "Sandwich 101" is "2,000 kg", the sales amount is "14,000 yen", and the cost price is "5,000 yen". The example in FIG. 6 also shows that the sales quantity of a product with the product code "SHO102" and the product name "Sandwich 102" is "3,000 kg", the sales amount is "21,000 yen", and the cost price is "10,000 yen". When the sales amount and cost price are input, the calculation unit 23 calculates the gross profit (yen), which is the difference between the sales amount and the cost price. The display control unit 26 inputs and displays the calculated gross profit amount, for example, "9,000 yen" or "11,000 yen", in the gross profit input field as shown in FIG. 6.

Figure 7 is a diagram showing an example of sales data. When the sales data is input as described above, the data generation unit 25 generates the sales data shown in Figure 7. Of these, Figure 7 (a) is an example of sales header data, and Figure 7 (b) is an example of sales detail data.

The data generation unit 25 inputs various information shown in FIG. 7(a) such as the sales number, sales date, sales charge number, line number, customer code, customer name, delivery destination code, delivery destination name, warehouse code, warehouse name, transportation company code of the transportation company that owns the transportation vehicle used to transport the goods, transportation company name, transportation vehicle code of the transportation vehicle used to transport the goods, transportation vehicle name, sales quantity (voucher sales quantity (kg)), sales amount (voucher sales amount), cost amount (voucher cost amount), freight amount (voucher freight amount), gross profit (voucher gross profit), gross profit rate (voucher gross profit rate), and whether freight calculation has been performed or not, based on various information displayed or entered on the sales input screen, and generates sales header data.

When the freight calculation process described below has not yet been performed, the data generation unit 25 enters "Not performed" in the freight calculation input field of this sales header data, indicating that freight calculation has not been performed.

In addition, the data generation unit 25 inputs various information such as the sales number shown in FIG. 7(b), the line number in the details, the product code, the product name, the sales quantity (detailed sales quantity (kg)), the sales amount (detailed sales amount), the cost amount (detailed cost amount), the freight amount (detailed freight amount), the gross profit (detailed gross profit), the gross profit rate (detailed gross profit rate), and whether or not the freight calculation has been performed, based on each detail displayed or entered on the sales input screen, and generates sales detail data.

When the freight calculation process described below has not been performed, the data generation unit 25 enters "not performed" in the freight calculation input field of this sales detail data, indicating that freight calculation has not been performed.

After inputting the sales data in this manner, the business operator specifies the display of the freight calculation processing screen. When this specification operation is performed, the display control unit 26 displays the freight calculation processing screen shown in FIG. 8 via the output device 7. This freight calculation processing screen is a screen for specifying whether the freight for the product input as sales data should be calculated and selected with "priority on amount" or with "priority on delivery date". For this reason, the freight calculation processing screen has an input field for the sales number, an input field for the sales date, and a selection field for "priority on amount" or "priority on delivery date", as shown in FIG. 8.

The detection unit 22 extracts sales data corresponding to the input sales number and sales date, for example, as shown in Figures 7(a) and 7(b), by referring to the sales data using the sales number and sales date entered on the freight calculation processing screen as extraction conditions. The calculation unit 23 calculates the freight corresponding to the "priority on amount" specified by the business operator, or calculates the freight corresponding to the "priority on delivery date". If the business operator specifies "priority on amount", the selection unit 24 selects the transportation mode with the lowest freight among the freights calculated by the calculation unit 23. On the other hand, if the business operator specifies "priority on delivery date", the selection unit 24 selects the transportation mode with the shortest delivery date and the lowest freight.

(Selection of transportation mode when price priority is specified)
When "priority on amount" is selected on the freight calculation processing screen, the data generating unit 25 performs freight calculation as described below to generate sales charges data shown in Fig. 9, sales apportionment detail data shown in Fig. 10, and payment schedule data shown in Fig. 11. As shown in Fig. 12(a), the data generating unit 25 inputs the shipping company code of the shipping company selected in "priority on amount", the shipping company name, and various information indicating that the freight calculation has been performed, to the sales header data of the sales data. As shown in Fig. 12(b), the data generating unit 25 inputs the freight details (detailed freight amount) corresponding to the sales quantity of each product, and various information indicating that the freight calculation has been performed, to the sales detail data of the sales data.

In other words, when "priority on amount" is specified on the freight calculation processing screen, the detection unit 22 refers to the transportation method master 11 shown in FIG. 13 based on the weight of the transported goods (= voucher sales number (kg)) in the sales data shown in FIG. 12(a) and FIG. 12(b), and detects, among the transport vehicles owned by each transport company, a transport vehicle with a maximum load capacity that is equal to or greater than the weight of the transported goods and is closest to the weight of the transported goods. In the example of FIG. 13, a "10 ton truck" of "XX Transport" and a "10 ton truck" of "△△ Transport" are detected as transport vehicles capable of transporting the goods of this weight. In other words, the detection unit 22 detects records in the transportation method master 11 within the same transport company where the weight of the goods (kg) is equal to or less than the maximum load capacity (kg) and is closest to the weight of the goods (kg).

Next, the detection unit 22 refers to the distance group master 12 shown in FIG. 14 based on the warehouse storing the products and the factory to which the products are delivered in the sales data shown in FIG. 12(a) and FIG. 12(b), and detects the distance group to which the distance corresponding to the warehouse and delivery destination entered in the sales data belongs. In the example of FIG. 14, the warehouse entered in the sales data is "XX Warehouse" of "SOU100" and the delivery destination is "XX Factory" of "NOU100", so the transportation distance of the products is in the range of "0km to 100km" as shown in FIG. 3. Therefore, the detection unit 22 detects the distance group "K100" as the distance group in this case.

Next, the detection unit 22 detects the quantity unit price and vehicle freight for the distance group "K100" for the "10 ton truck" of "XX Transport", which is currently a candidate for transporting the product, by referring to the freight unit price/transportation days master 13. The detection unit 22 also detects the quantity unit price and vehicle freight for the distance group "K100" for the "10 ton truck" of "△△ Transport", which is currently a candidate for transporting the product, by referring to the freight unit price/transportation days master 13.

The calculation unit 23 calculates a transportation weight freight of "15,000 yen", which is the amount obtained by multiplying "10,000 kg", the weight of the goods to be transported this time, by "1.50", the unit price of the distance group "K100" by "10 ton truck" of "XX Transport". Similarly, the calculation unit 23 calculates a transportation weight freight of "20,000 yen", which is the amount obtained by multiplying "10,000 kg", the weight of the goods to be transported this time, by "2.00", the unit price of the distance group "K100" by "10 ton truck" of "△△ Transport".

The selection unit 24 is
1. The freight rate for a "10 ton truck" operated by "XX Transportation" is "15,000 yen" for the distance group "K100".
2. The freight rate for one vehicle is 13,000 yen for a 10-ton truck operated by "XX Transportation" that corresponds to the distance group "K100."
3. The transportation weight freight of "20,000 yen" for the "10t truck" of "△△ Transportation" corresponding to the distance group of "K100", and
4. The freight rate for one vehicle of "10t truck" of "△△ Transportation" corresponding to the distance group of "K100" is "18,000 yen",
The mode of transportation corresponding to the lowest freight charge is selected as the mode of transportation to be used for transporting the goods.

In this example, the lowest freight rate is "13,000 yen" per vehicle for a "10 ton truck" from "XX Transport" that corresponds to the distance group "K100". Therefore, the selection unit 24 selects a transportation mode in which a "10 ton truck" from "XX Transport" is used as the delivery vehicle for the transportation of a "10,000 kg" product from "XX Warehouse" to the delivery destination "XX Factory". This makes it possible to select a transportation mode that prioritizes price.

Once the transport company and transport vehicle to be used to transport the goods have been determined and the freight charges have been calculated, the data generation unit 25 generates sales charges data, as shown in Figure 9, by inputting the sales charges number, line number, input date, sales number, payee code, transport company to be used to transport the goods, expense name, sales quantity (weight of goods sold), sales amount, and charges amount (freight charges required to transport the goods).

The data generating unit 25 also generates sales allocation detail data that details the sales figures, as shown in FIG. 10. This sales allocation detail data is composed of the sales charge number attached to the above-mentioned sales charge data, the line number of each detail, the original document number, the line number of the original document number, the product code of each product corresponding to the sales detail, the product name, the sales quantity of each product corresponding to each detail (detailed sales quantity), the sales amount (detailed sales amount), the cost amount (detailed cost amount), the charge amount (detailed charge amount), and the allocation category such as quantity allocation.

The data generating unit 25 also generates payment schedule data indicating the payment amount to be paid to the payee, which is the shipping company requested to transport the goods, as shown in Figure 11. This payment schedule data is composed of the payment schedule code, line number, input date, original document number, line number of the original document, payee code of the payee, payment amount (= calculated freight), and the classification of the payment method, such as "bank transfer".

When the transport company and vehicle to be used for transporting the goods are determined and the freight is calculated, the data generation unit 25 inputs various information, such as the transport company code of the transport company selected in "priority on amount", the transport company name, the transport vehicle (vehicle used) to be used for transport, the calculated freight (invoice freight amount), gross profit (invoice gross profit), gross profit rate (invoice gross profit rate), and "performed" indicating that the freight calculation has been performed, to the sales header data of the sales data, as shown in FIG. 12(a). The data generation unit 25 also inputs various information, such as the freight (detailed freight amount), gross profit (detailed gross profit), gross profit rate (detailed gross profit rate), and "performed" indicating that the freight calculation has been performed, to the sales detail data of the sales data, as shown in FIG. 12(b).

Next, the business support device 1 of the embodiment is capable of confirming and changing the sales charge data and sales data after such freight calculation. When the sales charge data is confirmed or changed, the business operator performs a display operation of the sales charge input screen. When the business operator performs a display operation of the sales charge input screen, the display control unit 26 displays, in step S3 of the flowchart in FIG. 5, via the output device 7, the sales charge input screen in which the charge amount has been input as shown in FIG. 16, based on the sales charge data shown in FIG. 9 and the sales apportionment detail data shown in FIG. 10.

The business operator can check the expense amount, etc., on this sales expense input screen. Furthermore, when the business operator wishes to change the expense amount, etc., he/she inputs the desired expense amount, etc., on this sales expense input screen and operates the registration button. This causes the data generation unit 25 to change the expense amount, etc., of the sales expense data shown in FIG. 9 and the sales allocation detail data shown in FIG. 10 based on the changed expense amount, etc.

When the business operator checks or changes the sales data, the business operator operates the display of the sales input screen. When the business operator operates the display of the sales input screen, the display control unit 26 displays, via the output device 7, the sales input screen in which the shipping company, shipping vehicle, freight amount, gross profit, etc. are entered as shown in FIG. 16 based on the sales data shown in FIG. 12.

The business operator can use this sales input screen to check the shipping company, shipping vehicle, freight charges, gross profit, etc. used to transport the goods. If the business operator wishes to change the freight charges, etc., he or she inputs the desired freight charges, etc. into this sales input screen and operates the registration button. This causes the data generation unit 25 to change the freight charges, etc. in the sales data shown in FIG. 12 based on the changed freight charges, etc.

(Selection of transportation mode when delivery date priority is specified)
Next, the operation of selecting the transportation mode when "Delivery date priority" is selected on the freight calculation processing screen will be described. That is, for example, by inputting the warehouse, delivery destination, and product details of the sold product on the sales input screen illustrated in Fig. 18, the data generating unit 25 generates sales data consisting of the sales header data illustrated in Fig. 19(a) and the sales detail data illustrated in Fig. 19(b).

In this state where the sales data has been generated, if "Delivery date priority" is selected on the freight calculation processing screen as shown in FIG. 20, the data generation unit 25 performs a freight calculation with delivery date priority, which will be described later, to generate the sales expenses data shown in FIG. 21, the sales allocation detail data shown in FIG. 22, and the payment schedule data shown in FIG. 23. In addition, as shown in FIG. 24(a), the data generation unit 25 inputs the shipping company code and shipping company name of the shipping company selected in "Delivery date priority", and various information indicating that the freight calculation has been performed, into the sales header data of the sales data, as shown in FIG. 24(a). In addition, the data generation unit 25 inputs the freight details (detailed freight amount) corresponding to the sales quantity of each product, and various information indicating that the freight calculation has been performed, into the sales detail data of the sales data, as shown in FIG. 24(b).

In other words, when "Delivery date priority" is specified on the freight calculation processing screen, the detection unit 22 refers to the transportation method master 11 shown in FIG. 25 based on the weight of the goods to be transported (= voucher sales number (kg)) in the sales data shown in FIG. 24(a) and FIG. 24(b), and detects, among the transportation vehicles owned by each transportation company, a transportation vehicle with a maximum load capacity that is equal to or greater than the weight of the goods to be transported and is closest to the weight of the goods to be transported. The example in FIG. 13 is an example in which a "5 ton truck" from "XX Transportation" and a "5 ton truck" from "△△ Transportation" are detected as transportation vehicles capable of transporting the goods of this weight. In other words, the detection unit 22 detects records in the transportation method master 11 within the same transportation company where the weight of the goods (kg) is equal to or less than the maximum load capacity (kg) and is closest to the weight of the goods (kg).

Next, the detection unit 22 refers to the distance group master 12 shown in FIG. 26 based on the warehouse storing the goods and the factory to which the goods are delivered in the sales data shown in FIG. 24(a) and FIG. 24(b), and detects the distance group to which the distance corresponding to the warehouse and delivery destination entered in the sales data belongs. In the example of FIG. 26, the warehouse entered in the sales data is "XX Warehouse" in "SOU100" and the delivery destination is "△△ Factory" in "NOU200", so the transportation distance of the goods is in the range of "100km to 200km" as shown in FIG. 3. Therefore, the detection unit 22 detects the distance group "K200" as the distance group in this case.

Next, the detection unit 22 detects the quantity unit price and vehicle freight for the distance group of "K200" for the "5 ton truck" of "XX Transport", which is currently a candidate for transporting the product, by referring to the freight unit price/transportation days master 13 shown in FIG. 27. The detection unit 22 also detects the quantity unit price and vehicle freight for the distance group of "K200" for the "5 ton truck" of "△△ Transport", which is currently a candidate for transporting the product, by referring to the freight unit price/transportation days master 13.

The calculation unit 23 calculates a transportation weight freight of "5,500 yen (rounded down to the nearest 10 yen)" by multiplying "3,000 kg", the weight of the product to be transported this time, by "1.85", the unit price of the distance group "K200" by "5 ton truck" of "XX Transport". Similarly, the calculation unit 23 calculates a transportation weight freight of "5,200 yen (rounded down to the nearest 10 yen)" by multiplying "3,000 kg", the weight of the product to be transported this time, by "1.75", the unit price of the distance group "K200" by "5 ton truck" of "△△ Transport".

Here, since this example is "delivery date priority", the detection unit 22 refers to the freight rate/transportation days master 13 to detect the record with the shorter number of transport days between the record of the distance group "K200" with a "5 ton truck" of "XX Transport" and the record of the distance group "K200" with a "5 ton truck" of "△△ Transport". In the example of FIG. 27, the record of the distance group "K200" with a "5 ton truck" of "XX Transport" has a transport day of "4 days", and the record of the distance group "K200" with a "5 ton truck" of "△△ Transport" has a transport day of "5 days". Therefore, the detection unit 22 detects the record of the distance group "K200" with a "5 ton truck" of "XX Transport" with a transport day of "4 days".

The selection unit 24 also compares the transportation weight freight and vehicle freight in the record of the distance group "K200" by "5 ton truck" of "XX Transportation" where the number of transportation days is "4 days". In this case, as described above, the transportation weight freight is "5,500 yen" and the vehicle freight is "8,000 yen". Therefore, the selection unit 24 selects the transportation weight freight, which is the lower freight. Then, the selection unit 24 selects the transportation form of the transportation weight freight in the distance group "K200" by "5 ton truck" of "XX Transportation" as the transportation form to be used for transporting the goods. This makes it possible to select the transportation form with the shortest delivery time and the cheapest freight.

Once the transport company and transport vehicle to be used to transport the goods have been determined and the freight charges have been calculated, the data generation unit 25 generates sales charges data, as shown in FIG. 21, by inputting the sales charges number, line number, input date, sales number, payee code, transport company to be used to transport the goods, expense name, sales quantity (weight of goods sold), sales amount, and charges amount (freight charges required to transport the goods).

The data generating unit 25 also generates sales allocation detail data that details the sales figures, as shown in FIG. 22. This sales allocation detail data is composed of the sales charge number attached to the above-mentioned sales charge data, the line number of each detail, the original document number, the line number of the original document number, the product code of each product corresponding to the sales detail, the product name, the sales quantity of each product corresponding to each detail (detailed sales quantity), the sales amount (detailed sales amount), the cost amount (detailed cost amount), the charge amount (detailed charge amount), and the allocation category such as quantity allocation.

The data generating unit 25 also generates payment schedule data indicating the payment amount to be paid to the payee, which is the shipping company requested to transport the goods, as shown in Figure 23. This payment schedule data is composed of the payment schedule code, line number, input date, original document number, line number of the original document, payee code of the payee, payment amount (= calculated freight), and the classification of the payment method, such as "bank transfer".

In addition, when the transport company and transport vehicle to be used for transporting the goods are determined and the freight is calculated, the data generation unit 25 inputs various information, such as the transport company code of the transport company selected in "Delivery date priority", the transport company name, the transport vehicle (vehicle used) to be used for transport, the calculated freight (invoice freight amount), gross profit (invoice gross profit), gross profit rate (invoice gross profit rate), and "Completed" indicating that the freight calculation has been performed, to the sales header data of the sales data, as shown in FIG. 24(a). In addition, the data generation unit 25 inputs various information, such as the freight (detailed freight amount), gross profit (detailed gross profit), gross profit rate (detailed gross profit rate), and "Completed" indicating that the freight calculation has been performed, to the sales detail data of the sales data, as shown in FIG. 24(b).

Next, the business support device 1 of the embodiment is capable of confirming and changing the sales charge data and sales data after such freight calculation. When the sales charge data is confirmed or changed, the business operator performs a display operation of the sales charge input screen. When the business operator performs a display operation of the sales charge input screen, the display control unit 26, in step S3 of the flowchart in FIG. 5, displays, via the output device 7, the sales charge input screen in which the charge amount has been input as shown in FIG. 28, based on the sales charge data shown in FIG. 21 and the sales apportionment detail data shown in FIG. 22.

The business operator can check the expense amount, etc., on this sales expense input screen. Furthermore, when the business operator wishes to change the expense amount, etc., he/she inputs the desired expense amount, etc., on this sales expense input screen and operates the register button. This causes the data generation unit 25 to change the expense amount, etc., of the sales expense data shown in FIG. 21 and the sales allocation detail data shown in FIG. 22 based on the changed expense amount, etc.

When the business operator checks or changes the sales data, the business operator operates the display of the sales input screen. When the business operator operates the display of the sales input screen, the display control unit 26 displays, via the output device 7, the sales input screen in which the shipping company, shipping vehicle, freight amount, gross profit, etc. are entered as shown in FIG. 29 based on the sales data shown in FIG. 24.

The business operator can use this sales input screen to check the shipping company, shipping vehicle, freight charges, gross profit, etc. used to transport the goods. If the business operator wishes to change the freight charges, etc., he or she inputs the desired freight charges, etc. into this sales input screen and operates the registration button. This causes the data generation unit 25 to change the freight charges, etc. in the sales data shown in FIG. 24 based on the changed freight charges, etc.

(Display operation of payment schedule and sales performance table)
Next, the business operator inputs the sales charges corresponding to the transportation mode selected with the amount priority or the delivery date priority, thereby enabling the generation of a payment schedule and a sales performance table. That is, the business operator inputs the freight charge and details of "13,000 yen" selected with the amount priority described above via the sales charges input screen as shown in Figure 30. Similarly, the business operator inputs the freight charge and details of "5,500 yen" selected with the delivery date priority described above via the sales charges input screen.

As a result, in step S3 of the flowchart in FIG. 5, the data generation unit 25 generates sales overhead data including the overhead amount of the freight of "13,000 yen" selected with amount priority and the overhead amount of the freight of "5,500 yen" selected with delivery date priority, as shown in FIG. 31. The data generation unit 25 also generates sales allocation detail data including a breakdown of the overhead amount of the freight of "13,000 yen" selected with amount priority and a breakdown of the overhead amount of the freight of "5,500 yen" selected with delivery date priority, as shown in FIG. 32. The data generation unit 25 also generates payment schedule data for the freight of "13,000 yen" selected with amount priority and the freight of "5,500 yen" selected with delivery date priority, as shown in FIG. 33.

When the business operator specifies that the payment schedule should be displayed, the display control unit 26 generates a payment schedule including the payment date, payee, original document number, payment amount, and payment method for each amount-priority and delivery date-priority transportation mode, as illustrated in FIG. 34, based on the payment schedule data shown in FIG. 33, and displays it via the output device 7 (step S4).

In addition, when printing of a payment schedule is specified by the business operator, the print control unit 27 generates print data of the payment schedule including the payment date, payee, original document number, payment amount, and payment method for each of the amount-priority and delivery date-priority transportation modes, as exemplified in FIG. 34, and supplies it to the printing device, which is the output device 7 in this case. As a result, the payment schedule is printed and output.

This type of payment schedule allows the business operator to recognize the amount to be paid to each shipping company. Each piece of data in the payment schedule may be output by voice.

The business operator also designates the payment to each shipping company based on the payment schedule, etc. When this designation operation is performed, the communication control unit 28 communicates with the payment source affiliated bank server device 31 to request the payment destination to remit the freight.

The payment source affiliated bank server device 31 transfers the amount equivalent to the fare to the payment destination affiliated bank server device 32. The payment destination affiliated bank server device 32 deposits the transferred fare and notifies the payment destination terminal device 33 owned by the payment destination of the deposit. This completes the payment of the fare from the payment source to the payment destination.

The business operator also specifies the display of the sales performance table. When the display of the sales performance table is specified, the display control unit 26 generates a sales performance table including the sales date, customer, sales number, sales quantity, sales amount, product cost, freight amount, and gross profit excluding freight of the sold products, as exemplified in FIG. 35, based on the sales expenses data shown in FIG. 31, and displays it via the output device 7 (step S5).

In addition, when printing of a sales record table is specified by the business operator, the print control unit 27 generates print data for the sales record table, including the sales date, customer, sales number, sales quantity, sales amount, product cost, freight amount, and gross profit excluding freight, of the sold items, as exemplified in FIG. 35, and supplies it to the printing device, which is the output device 7 in this case. As a result, the sales record table is printed and output.

With such a sales record table, the business operator can recognize the number of sales, sales amount, shipping charges, etc. for each customer. Each data in the sales record table may be output by voice.

(Effects of the embodiment)
As is clear from the above description, the business support device 1 of the embodiment can manage freight unit prices in a master file and automatically calculate the optimal transportation method. It can also create payment schedule data for the transportation company from the freight incurred and perform payment processing. It can also output a sales performance table, allowing the product cost and freight for sales to be checked separately, and allows the gross profit for sales to be checked and analyzed taking the product cost and freight into account.

In addition, since the cost of goods and shipping charges for sales can be confirmed and analyzed, it can contribute to reducing shipping charges in the future. Also, by linking shipping charges data with payment schedule data, it is possible to prevent duplicate management and operate with good internal controls.
