In the case of a printer, for example, image data and document data are printed. More specifically, for example, a laser printer or an ink jet printer can be employed.

(Functional configuration of transaction data registration device and transaction data monitoring device)
Next, functional configurations of the transaction data registration device 200 and the transaction data monitoring device 250 will be described. FIG. 3-2 is a block diagram illustrating functional configurations of the transaction data registration device 200 and the transaction data monitoring device 250.

  3-2, the transaction data registration apparatus 200 includes a reception unit 201, a generation unit 202, an association unit 203, a registration unit 204, a transmission unit 205, a search unit 206, which are functions of the service bus 270, A reading unit 207, a reading control unit 208, and an output unit 209 are provided. Transaction data monitoring apparatus 250 includes designation unit 251, reading unit 252, reading control unit 253, consistency determination unit 254, and registration unit 255.

  Each of the functions 201 to 209 of the transaction data registration apparatus 200 is executed by causing the CPU to execute a program related to the functions 201 to 209 stored in the storage unit of the transaction data registration apparatus 200 or by an input / output I / F. The function can be realized. Output data from each function 201 to 209 is held in the storage unit. Further, the connection destination function indicated by an arrow in FIG. 3-2 reads output data from the connection source function from the storage unit and causes the CPU to execute a program related to the function.

  Similarly, each of the functions 251 to 255 of the transaction data monitoring device 250 is executed by causing the CPU to execute a program related to the functions 251 to 255 stored in the storage unit of the transaction data monitoring device 250 or the input / output I The function can be realized by / F. Output data from each function 251 to 255 is held in the storage unit. Further, the connection destination function indicated by an arrow in FIG. 3-2 reads output data from the connection source function from the storage unit and causes the CPU to execute a program related to the function.

  Next, each functional unit will be described. First, the reception unit 201 of the transaction data registration device 200 includes, among the plurality of business devices 210 to 240, transaction data from the business device A that is a transaction source to the business device B that is a business partner, and a number unique to the transaction data. A registration request for a combination of “No. A” is received.

  When the registration request is received by the receiving unit 201, the generating unit 202 generates a unique number “No. B” to be assigned to the business apparatus B that is a business partner. This unique number generation process is a numbering process for transaction data accepted by the service bus 270.

  Then, the associating unit 203 associates the unique number “No. B” generated by the generating unit 202 with the combination of the transaction data and the unique number “No. A”.

  The registration unit 204 registers in the service database 280 a combination of the transaction data associated by the associating unit 203, a unique number “No. A” for the transaction data, and a unique number “No. B” to be given to the business partner. To do. Then, the transmission unit 205 transmits the unique number “No. B” to be assigned to the business partner to the business device B that is the business partner.

  The processing up to the transmission unit 205 described above is transaction data registration processing by the transaction data registration apparatus 200 that is the basis of the present embodiment. Even when transaction data is registered from any of the business devices 210 to 240, the transaction data is given a unique number, and further, a unique number for associating with the transaction data of the next business process. A number is generated.

  More specifically, when the order receiving processing unit 210 transmits the order receiving order XXX generated as transaction data to the transaction data registration apparatus 200, a unique number “A100” is assigned to the order receiving order XXX. At this time, since the order order XXX is the first business process, a unique number (for example, “A100”) of the order number XXX which is transaction data is set.

  Then, the transaction data registration device 200 generates a unique number (for example, “B100”) assigned to the business partner. A unique number (for example, “B100”) assigned to the business partner is transmitted to the shipping business processing unit 220 serving as the business partner. Therefore, when the shipping order processing unit 220 transmits the shipping order XXX corresponding to the received order XXX to the transaction data registration apparatus 200, the unique number assigned to the shipping order XXX is “B100”. That is, the order number XXX and the shipping order XXX are associated with a common unique number “B100”.

  Further, when the transaction data registration device 200 generates a unique number (for example, “C100”) newly given to the business partner for the shipping order XXX, the sales business processing that is the business partner of the shipping business processing unit 220. A unique number “C100” to be assigned to the business partner is transmitted to section 230. This unique number “C100” is a unique number assigned to the sales order XXX when the sales operation processing unit 230 generates the sales order XXX corresponding to the shipping order XXX. Therefore, here again, the shipping order XXX and the sales order XXX are given a common unique number “C100” and are associated with each other.

  By linking individual business data generated by different business processing units as described above by assigning unique numbers, it is possible to automatically register transaction data in the service database 280 as a series of related business processes. Will be registered. In addition, traceability can be realized by collectively outputting the associated transaction data. Hereinafter, the functional units 206 to 209 for performing batch output will be described.

  First, when the receiving unit 201 receives an output request for specific transaction data in the transaction data group registered in the service database 280, the search unit 206 stores the transaction data registered in the service database 280. Search for specific transaction data requested from within.

  When the reading unit 207 receives an arbitrary combination, the reading unit 207 reads a combination including the same number as the unique number included in the combination. An instruction to be read out to the reading unit 207 is given by the reading control unit 208.

  The reading control unit 208 controls the reading unit 207 to read a combination including the specific transaction data searched by the searching unit 206 from the service database 280. Further, the reading control unit 208 reads other combinations that have not been read by the reading unit 207 yet, among the combinations including the same unique number as the unique number included in the combination read by the reading unit 207. . The read control unit 208 reads transaction data related to specific transaction data.

  The output unit 209 outputs the combination including the specific transaction data read by the read control unit 208 and the combination read at the same time to the output request source. Here, when the output request source is the transaction data registration device 200 itself, for example, when an output request is received from the input device 309, the output request source may be output to the output device 310. Further, when the output request source is the other business devices 210 to 240, the output may be output from the output unit 209 via the transmission unit 205.

  Thus, the transaction data of each business process is registered in the service database 280 in a state where it is linked with the transaction data of other related business processes by a unique number. The transaction data monitoring device 250 described next determines the consistency of transaction data registered in the service database 280. By registering this determination result in association with transaction data, it is possible to facilitate the extraction of problems and to ensure that the transaction data of related business processes are accurate values.

  First, in the transaction data monitoring device 250, the designation unit 251 designates arbitrary transaction data registered in the service database 280 as a monitoring target. The designation method by the designation unit 251 is arbitrary, transaction data registered in the service database 280 may be designated randomly, may be specified in the order of addresses, or transactions newly registered in the service database 280 Data may be specified, or transaction data instructed from outside may be specified.

  Also, the designation unit 251 automatically designates the next transaction data when the judgment by the consistency judgment unit 254 described later is finished, and when the judgment by the consistency judgment unit 254 of this transaction data is finished, The configuration may be such that all transaction data registered in the service database 280 are automatically specified, such as specifying transaction data.

  When receiving any combination, the reading unit 252 reads a combination including the same number as the unique number included in the combination. The reading control unit 208 instructs the reading unit 252 to read.

  The reading control unit 253 controls the reading unit 252 to read a combination including the transaction data specified by the specifying unit 251 from the service database 280. Further, the read control unit 253 selects a combination that has not been read by the reading unit from among combinations including the same unique number as the unique number included in the combination read by the reading unit 252. Read from 280. Similar to the read control unit 208 of the transaction data registration device 200, the read control unit 253 reads transaction data related to specific transaction data.

  Specifically, if “B100” and “C100” are included in the combination including the specified transaction data, the combination assigned with the same number is read, and “A100” is included in the read combination. Then, the combination including “A100” is read out.

  The consistency determination unit 254 determines the consistency of the contents of each transaction data among the transaction data included in the combination read by the read control unit 253. Specifically, the consistency judgment is performed by adding together items (date, supplier name, number, amount, etc.) constituting the read transaction data and making a matching judgment. At this time, the consistency determination unit 254 may compare the values of all the items constituting the transaction data, or may compare only the values of items specified in advance (such as only the amount).

  The registration unit 255 registers the determination result by the consistency determination unit 254 in the service database 280. At this time, the determination result is registered in the service database 280 in a state associated with the transaction data to be determined. As described above, the registered determination result is output from the service database 280 together with the specific transaction data when there is an output request for the specific transaction data.

  Next, the transaction data registration process, the transaction data monitoring process, and the transaction data visualization process described above will be described with specific examples.

(Transaction data registration process)
First, the transaction data registration process will be described. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining transaction data registration processing. As shown in FIG. 4, when the order receiving processing unit 210 outputs a shipping instruction to the shipping operation processing unit 220, the order 411 (because it is a new order, a unique numerical value “A100” is assigned in advance to the service bus 270. Send). The service bus 270 registers the shipping instruction for the order 411 in the service database 280 (step S401).

  Further, the service bus 270 performs the numbering process of the unique number assigned to the business partner of the order 411 and transmits the numbered “B100” to the shipping business processing unit 220 (step S402) and the order 411. It is associated and registered in the service database 280 (step S403). Therefore, the order 411 becomes the order 421 to which “B100” is assigned.

  Subsequently, when the shipping business processing unit 220 outputs the shipping result / sales recording instruction to the sales business processing unit 230, the shipping business processing unit 220 transmits orders 412 to 414 to which "B100" is assigned to the service bus 270. The service bus 270 causes the service database 280 to register the shipping result / sales counting instruction for the orders 412 to 414 (step S404).

  Further, the service bus 270 performs the numbering process of the unique number assigned to the business partners of the orders 412 to 414, and transmits the numbered “C100” to the sales operation processing unit 230 (step S405). It is registered in the service database 280 in association with 412 to 414 (step S406). Therefore, the orders 412 to 414 become orders 422 to 424 to which “C100” is assigned, and the orders 421 and orders 422 to 424 are registered as transaction data of a series of business processes.

(Transaction data registration procedure)
Next, a procedure for transaction data registration processing will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a procedure of transaction data registration processing. In the flowchart of FIG. 5, first, the service bus 270 determines whether or not a business instruction has occurred (step S501). Whether or not a business instruction has occurred is determined based on whether or not a business instruction has been transmitted from each of the business processing units 210 to 240.

  In step S501, it waits until a business instruction is generated (step S501: No loop). When a business instruction is generated (step S501: Yes), the service database 280 is notified of transaction data (step S502), and further. Then, a transaction data registration request is made (step S503).

  Then, it is determined whether or not this transaction data includes a related number that is a unique number of another order (step S504). Here, when the related number is not included (step S504: No), it is registered in the service database 280 as new transaction data (step S505), and the registration process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the related number is included (step S504: Yes), it is registered in the service database 280 as the transaction data related to the already registered transaction data (step S506), and the registration process is terminated. In the example of FIG. 4, step S505 corresponds to order 411, and step S506 corresponds to orders 421 to 423.

(Transaction data monitoring process)
Next, transaction data monitoring processing will be described. 6-8 is explanatory drawing explaining a transaction data monitoring process. 6 shows a case where normal data is registered, FIG. 7 shows a case where deficient / missing data is registered, and FIG. 8 shows a case where duplicate data is registered.

  First, in the case of FIG. 6, when paying attention to the order data 611 registered in the service server, the shipping data 621 to 623 and the sales data 631 in which the numbers related to the order data 611 are assigned are extracted. The As described above, each data includes “relation No. (start)”, “business process name”, “slip No.”, “product name”, “customer name”, “quantity”, “transaction amount”, They are displayed in the order of “Related No. (last)”.

  In the present embodiment, as an example, it is set so that the comparison processing of “quantity” and “transaction amount” in items constituting transaction data is performed at the time of consistency determination. Therefore, first, the “quantity” of the order data 611, the “quantity” of the shipping data 621 to 623, and the “quantity” of the sales data 631 are compared. Then, the “transaction amount” in the order data 611, the “transaction amount” in the shipment data 621 to 623, and the “transaction amount” in the sales data 631 are compared. As a result of comparison, since “quantity” and “transaction amount” match, it is determined that there is consistency.

  Next, the example of FIG. 7 is similarly set to perform the comparison processing of “quantity” and “transaction amount”. Therefore, first, the “quantity” of the order data 711, the “quantity” of the shipping data 721 to 723, and the “quantity” of the sales data 731 are compared. Then, the “transaction amount” of the order data 711, the “transaction amount” of the shipping data 721 to 723, and the “transaction amount” of the sales data 731 are compared. In this case, the “quantity” and “transaction amount” in the shipping data 721 to 723 are compared with the “quantity” and “transaction amount” in the order data 711 and the “quantity” and “transaction amount” in the sales data 731. Both amounts are insufficient. Therefore, it is determined that there is no consistency.

  Similarly, the example of FIG. 8 is set so as to perform comparison processing of “quantity” and “transaction amount”. Therefore, first, the “quantity” of the order data 811, the “quantity” of the shipping data 821 to 824 and the “quantity” of the sales data 831 are compared. Then, the “transaction amount” in the order data 811, the “transaction amount” in the shipping data 821 to 824 and the “transaction amount” in the sales data 831 are compared. In this case, the “quantity” and “transaction amount” of the shipping data 821 to 823 exceed the “quantity” and “transaction amount” of the order data 811 and the “quantity” and “transaction amount” of the sales data 831. In addition, the slip numbers of the shipping data 823 and 824 are duplicated. Therefore, it is determined that there is no consistency. Such a comparison result is registered in the service database 280 in association with the corresponding transaction data. In this embodiment, the comparison result is registered in the service database 280 in association with the corresponding transaction data. However, a unique database may be prepared in the transaction data monitoring device 250 and registered independently in this database. .

(Transaction data monitoring procedure)
Next, the transaction data monitoring process will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a transaction data monitoring processing procedure. In the flowchart of FIG. 9, it is first determined whether or not the monitoring process is started (step S901). This start determination is made based on whether or not a predetermined start signal is input to the transaction data monitoring device 250.

  In step S901, the process waits until it is determined that the monitoring process is started (step S901: No loop). If it is determined that the monitoring process is started (step S901: Yes), the transaction database 280 stores any transaction data. Related data is extracted (step S902). The arbitrary transaction data is transaction data specified by the designation unit 251 (see FIG. 3-2). The related data is each transaction data of a series of business processes linked to a unique number assigned to arbitrary data.

  Next, the consistency of the related transaction data extracted in step S902 is checked (step S903). This check process corresponds to the process described with reference to FIGS. Then, the consistency check result of step S903 is registered in the service database 280 (step S904).

  When the consistency determination of the related data of any transaction data extracted in step S902 is completed, it is next determined whether or not the check of all transaction data to be checked has been completed (step S905). Here, the processing of steps S902 to S904 is repeated until the check of all transaction data is completed (step S905: No loop). And when the check of all the transaction data is complete | finished (step S905: Yes), a series of transaction data monitoring processes are complete | finished.

(Transaction data visualization process procedure)
Next, the transaction data visualization process will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a procedure of transaction data visualization processing. In the present embodiment, as described above, arbitrary transaction data in the transaction data registered in the service database 280 and related data are received by the users of the business processing units 210 to 240 and permission. It can be provided as visualization information to any device that can access the service database 280.

  Therefore, the process described here is a procedure for providing the transaction data requested to be output as visualization information. In the flowchart of FIG. 10, first, it is determined whether or not a transaction data extraction / visualization start request has been made to the transaction data registration apparatus 200 (step S1001). Here, it waits until an extraction / visualization start request is received (step S1001: No loop), and when an extraction / visualization start request is received (step S1001: Yes), the specification of the traceability item from the extraction / visualization start requester ( In step S1002), designation of the traceability direction is accepted (step S1003).

  When the designations in steps S1002 and S1003 are accepted, the related data D1 is extracted and displayed from the entire business process data as transaction data (step S1004). Furthermore, designation of an item not to be tracked is accepted from the user of the transaction data visualization apparatus without any problem in the business process (step S1005).

  Then, based on the designation in step S1005, data including the possibility of a problem is narrowed down from the related data D1 extracted and displayed in step S1004 (step S1006). Then, it is determined whether or not a problem has been identified by the narrowing down in step S1006 (step S1007). If no problem is identified in step S1007 (step S1007: No), the processing from step S1003 is repeated until the problem is identified.

  On the other hand, if a problem is identified in step S1007 (step S1007: Yes), the problematic item is designated (step S1008), and the traceability direction is designated (step S1009). Then, related data D2 other than the related data D1 is extracted and displayed from the entire transaction data of the business process (step S1010).

  Then, a determination is made as to whether or not there is an influence on the designated business process (step S1011). This determination is in accordance with the instruction of the user who has designated the business process. If it is determined that there is no effect on the designated business process (step S1011: Yes), a determination is made as to whether there is a problem with another product that has been ordered at the same time (step S1012).

  Also in this step S1012, the instruction of the user who has designated the business process is followed. If it is determined that there is no problem with the other products ordered at the same time (step S1012: Yes), the series of processing is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1011 that there is an influence on the designated business process (step S1011: No), or if it is determined that there is a problem with another product that has been ordered at the same time (step S1012: No). ), Returning to the process of step S1009, the processes of steps S1009 and S1010 are repeated until the problem converges (steps S1011 and S1012: Yes).

  In this way, by combining transaction data registration processing, monitoring processing, and extraction / visualization processing, information related to a series of transaction data that can be traced along a business process can be provided.

  FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing traceability reflecting the monitoring result. FIG. 11 visualizes the process described in FIG. 10 with a specific example. In FIG. 11, as a monitoring result, occurrence of a problem after sales in a sales operation is visualized (step S1101).

  Therefore, the problem is first identified by going back to the business process (backward traceability). First, the cause (material A) is specified in the purchase / purchase operation (step S1102). Then, in order to confirm whether or not other business operations are affected, the other business processes are sequentially traced based on the material A (forward traceability).

  In the process of forward traceability, first, the use of the material A in other parts is found (step S1103). Then, it is possible to confirm the possibility of affecting the product β sold to the customer B in the sales business by tracing the business process in which this part is used (step S1104). In FIG. 11, by confirming the product β finally sold to the customer B, it can be confirmed that there is no influence on the product ordered at the same time (step S1105).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, individual transaction data transmitted from different transaction processing devices are automatically linked to each other via a unique number generated by the transaction data registration device. The transaction data along a series of business processes can be extracted as a related transaction data group. Therefore, it is possible to ensure the accuracy of data transition of each business process constituting the entire distribution system and to easily check the contents and relevance of the business process.
