[3. processing]
Next, the information processing method executed in the information processing system 1000 shown in FIG. 1 will be described exemplarily.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of an information processing method related to management of transaction data executed by the information processing apparatus 100 in the information processing system 1000 of FIG. Generally, the process shown in FIG. 2 performs conversion to customize transaction data as necessary when managing transaction data related to transactions with business partners, and business partners in a unique format for each business partner. Transaction data is acquired, and if necessary, display data for business partners in a unique format is created for each business partner as display data related to the display screen for accepting input or editing of transaction data. .. That is, the information processing method related to the management of transaction data includes one or both of the data conversion method and the display data creation method. Most of this processing is executed by the control unit 102 of the information processing apparatus 100. In the following, a case of managing order data related to a transaction with a specific customer as a business partner will be described as an example.

In FIG. 2, first, in step S210, the information processing apparatus 100 determines whether or not maintenance such as registration or editing of the control pattern master is performed. Specifically, in the determination in step S210, a display screen (control pattern maintenance screen) as illustrated in FIG. 3 is activated, and as a result of registration or maintenance of the control pattern, the control pattern is changed to the registered control pattern. Or it is done by determining if an update will occur. The control pattern includes one or both of the display control pattern and the conversion control pattern described later. However, in the present embodiment, the same control pattern as the display control pattern is used as the conversion control pattern. That is, the conversion control pattern is common to the display control pattern. Here, if the control pattern master is not maintained as a result of the determination in step S210 (No in step S210), maintenance of the supplier master described later, acquisition of transaction data for the supplier described later, or description described later. In order to accept the creation of display data for business partners, the process proceeds to step S230.

If maintenance of the control pattern master is performed as a result of the determination in step S210 (Yes in step S210), the process proceeds to step S220 to accept the maintenance content of the control pattern master. The process of step S220 includes the process of steps S221 to S225 described below.

When accepting the maintenance content of the control pattern master in step S220, first, in step S221, the setting of control pattern identification information (for example, control pattern code, control pattern code name) for identifying the control pattern is accepted.

In the following step S222, the setting of the display control pattern that determines the format of the header portion is accepted. Here, the header portion refers to the main display screen (main screen) of a plurality of display screens that can form a display screen and can be transitioned to each other. Here, the main display screen may be a display screen including a plurality of tabs. FIG. 4 shows a configuration example of a display screen for accepting the setting of the display control pattern of the header portion in step S222 of FIG.

Here, the display control pattern will be described. The display control pattern is one of the control patterns preset for each business partner and defines the display format of the display screen corresponding to the display data. The display control pattern is composed of an item that can be included in the display data and a combination of controls set for the item. Examples of the pattern display control pattern include settings related to display / non-display for each item related to transactions included in transaction data, settings related to required items / optional items, settings related to the maximum number of digits, and settings related to item name change. .. Then, as the display control pattern, one or more of the plurality of types of settings are set for one or more items, so that the display format of the display screen corresponding to the display data is determined.

Specifically, on the display data for business partners, which will be described later, one or more items that can be included as items related to transactions in the display data for default are included in the display data for business partners by the above display / non-display settings. Or it is set not to be included. In addition, by setting the required items / optional items above, information indicating whether one or more items that can be included as items related to transactions in the default display data are required items or optional items is displayed for business partners. Settings are made to add to the data. With the above settings related to the maximum number of digits, for one or more items that can be included as items related to transactions in the default display data, information to limit the number of digits when accepting numerical input via the display screen is provided for transactions. A setting is made to add to the pre-display data. By the above setting related to item name change, the information about the item name of one or more items that can be included as the item related to the transaction in the default display data is converted to the information about the predetermined item name in the display data for business partners. The settings are made.

Then, the display control pattern received in step S222 is also reflected in the conversion control pattern. The conversion control pattern is a control pattern preset for each business partner and defines a conversion format related to conversion required for customizing transaction data. The conversion control pattern is composed of an item that can be included in the transaction data and a combination of controls set for the item. As a result of reflecting the display control pattern in the conversion control pattern, for example, by setting the maximum number of digits described above, as a conversion control pattern, one or more items that can be included as items related to transactions in the transaction data are transaction data for business partners. In, information to limit the number of digits of the numerical value that can be set in the item is set to be added to the transaction data for business partners.

Next, in step S223, the setting of the display control pattern that determines the format of the detail portion is accepted. Here, the detail portion refers to a secondary display screen (for example, a detail information display screen, a detailed information display screen, a supplementary information display screen) among a plurality of display screens that can be transitioned to each other and can form a display screen. As expected. Here, the secondary display screen may be a display screen including a plurality of tabs. FIG. 5 shows a configuration example of a detail information display screen as a display screen for accepting the setting of the display control pattern of the detail portion in step S223 of FIG. 2, and FIG. 6 shows FIG. In step S223, a configuration example of a detailed information display screen and a supplementary information display screen as a display screen for accepting the setting of the display control pattern of the detail portion is shown. The type of display control pattern that can be set in step S223 is the same as the display control pattern that can be set in step S222, and the display control pattern received in step S223 is also reflected in the conversion control pattern.

Then, when the setting of the display control pattern is completed, the control pattern master is updated (step S224). By performing the process of step S220 in this way, various combinations of display control patterns can be set for each control pattern identification information. The control pattern master may be updated every time any one of the processes of steps S221 to 223 described above is performed. That is, the processes of steps S221 to S223 can be arbitrarily skipped, and the processing procedure can also be arbitrarily changed. Then, the process proceeds to step S230.

Next, in step S230, it is determined whether or not maintenance such as registration or editing of the business partner master 106 is performed. The business partner master is a master in which information about the business partner is registered, and in the present embodiment, the control pattern identification information is included. Specifically, the determination in step S230 is whether or not a predetermined display screen (customer master maintenance screen) is activated and the registered information is changed or updated as a result of registration or maintenance of the business partner master. It is done by determining. FIG. 7 shows a configuration example of the supplier master maintenance screen activated in step S230 of FIG. 2, and as shown in FIG. 7, a control pattern is set for each supplier. The registered control pattern may be one or both of the display control pattern and the conversion control pattern, or may be a single control pattern in which the display control pattern and the conversion control pattern are integrated. Here, if the customer master is not maintained as a result of the determination in step S230 (No in step S230), maintenance of the customer master described later, creation of display data for the customer described later, or described later. In order to accept the acquisition of the transaction data for the business partner to be performed, the process proceeds to the process of step S240.

If maintenance of the business partner master is performed as a result of determination in step S230 (Yes in step S230), the process proceeds to step S231 to accept the maintenance content of the business partner master, and at this time, the control pattern is identified for each business partner. Information is registered. Note that the default control pattern identification information may be set for the business partner for which the control pattern identification information is not registered. Then, when the maintenance of the supplier master is completed, the supplier master is updated (step S232), and the process proceeds to step S240.

Next, in step S240, it is determined whether or not to acquire the transaction data for the business partner. Here, the transaction data for business partners refers to transaction data in a unique format for each business partner, and in the present embodiment, it is data that can be acquired by performing conversion to customize the original transaction data. The transaction data for business partners is obtained in a format such as when the original transaction data (for example, existing order data) is taken into the information processing apparatus 100, or when the transaction data is sent to another business system. It is done when you want to perform a trimming conversion. Specifically, in the determination in step S240, a predetermined display screen (for example, an order data import screen) is activated, and an instruction input to the effect of transaction data conversion, such as an instruction input to the effect of transaction data import, is input. Is done by determining if this is done.

If, as a result of the determination in step S240, the transaction data for the business partner is not acquired (No in step S240), the process proceeds to the process of step S260 in order to accept the creation of the display data for the business partner, which will be described later. On the other hand, when the transaction data for the business partner is acquired as a result of the determination in step S240, the transaction data acquisition process for the business partner, which will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 8, is performed in step S250, and step S260. Proceed to the process of.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing in detail the processing procedure related to the subroutine of the transaction data acquisition process for business partners executed in step S250 of FIG.

In the transaction data acquisition process for business partners shown in FIG. 8, first, in step S251, the business partner identification information is acquired. The supplier identification information can be acquired from, for example, the supplier code specified on the order data acquisition screen. Subsequently, in step S252, the control pattern identification information is acquired. The control pattern identification information is acquired by referring to the supplier master in the supplier identification information acquired in step S251. As a result, by referring to the control pattern master with the control pattern identification information acquired in step S252, a control pattern (conversion control pattern) peculiar to the business partner corresponding to the business partner identification information acquired in step S251 is specified. It will be.

Then, in step S253, conversion of the specified transaction data (for example, the order data specified on the order data acquisition screen) into the transaction data for the business partner is started. This conversion is performed with reference to the control pattern peculiar to the business partner.

In the following step S254, the conversion of the transaction data in step S253 is monitored, and it is determined whether or not an error has occurred. If an error occurs during the conversion of the transaction data into the transaction data for the business partner as a result of the determination in step S254 (Yes in step S254), the error flag is set (step S255), and the process proceeds to step S256. On the other hand, if no error occurs, the process of step S255 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S256.

Here, the error flag will be described. The error flag is a flag set in the transaction data for a business partner, and is a flag indicating that an error has occurred when converting the transaction data according to a control pattern unique to the business partner and the content of the error. ..

The error flag is set in the following cases. The first example is a case where there is no required item (blank) in the transaction data for business partners in the specified transaction data. In this case, the fact that a numerical value is not set in the item is set as an error flag. The second example is a case where the numerical value set in each item in the transaction data does not satisfy the number of digits (for example, the upper limit of the number of digits) limited by the control pattern peculiar to the business partner. In this case, information to the effect that the number of digits of the numerical value that can be set in the corresponding item is limited is added to the transaction data for business partners, and an error flag is further set. In addition, instead of adding information to the effect that the number of digits of the numerical value that can be set is limited to the relevant item, the transaction data for business partners is rounded off so as to satisfy the limited number of digits for the relevant item. Alternatively, the corresponding item may be left blank, and even in these cases, the user can confirm the difference between the specified transaction data and the created transaction data for business partners from the error flag.

Then, when the conversion of the transaction data started in step S253 is completed, the transaction data for the business partner is acquired (step S256). Since the transaction data for business partners is created according to the control pattern set in advance for each business partner, each business partner has a unique format. Therefore, for the user, the conversion effort required for customizing the specified transaction data is reduced. After acquiring the transaction data for business partners in step S256, the transaction data acquisition process for business partners in step S250 is completed, the process returns to the process of FIG. 2, and the process proceeds to step S260.

Next, in step S260, it is determined whether or not to create the display data for the business partner. Here, the display data for business partners means display data in a unique format for each business partner, and in the present embodiment, it is converted to customize the default display data related to the display screen for accepting input or editing of transaction data. It is the data that can be acquired by performing. The display data for business partners is created, for example, before the transaction data is input or edited (for example, order input or sales input). The determination in step S260 is specifically performed by determining whether or not a predetermined display screen (for example, an order input screen) for inputting or editing transaction data is activated.

If the display data for the business partner is not created as a result of the determination in step S260 (No in step S260), the maintenance of the control pattern master described above, the maintenance of the business partner master, or the acquisition of the transaction data for the business partner is performed. Return to the process of step S210 in order to accept. On the other hand, when the display data for the business partner is created as a result of the determination in step S260, the display data creation process for the business partner, which will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 9, is performed in step S270. Then, this process is completed.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing in detail the processing procedure related to the subroutine of the display data creation process for business partners executed in step S270 of FIG.

In the display data creation process for business partners shown in FIG. 9, first, in step S271, the business partner identification information is acquired. The supplier identification information can be acquired from, for example, the supplier code specified on the order entry screen or the sales entry screen. Subsequently, in step S272, the control pattern identification information is acquired. The control pattern identification information is acquired by referring to the supplier master in the supplier identification information acquired in step S271. As a result, by referring to the control pattern master with the control pattern identification information acquired in step S272, a control pattern (display control pattern) peculiar to the business partner corresponding to the business partner identification information acquired in step S271 is specified. It will be.

Then, in step S273, the display data related to the display screen for accepting the input or editing (for example, order input or sales input) of the transaction data related to the transaction of the business partner corresponding to the business partner identification information acquired in step S271 is read. Start. The display data may be the default display data, or may be the display data for business partners in a unique format for each business partner stored in advance. This reading is performed while referring to the control pattern peculiar to the business partner.

In the following step S274, from the display data read in step S273, display data for the business partner in a unique format is created for each business partner according to the control pattern unique to the business partner, and subsequently, the business partner created in step S275. The image corresponding to the display data for use is displayed on the display unit by performing output control as necessary. That is, the display data reflects the control pattern unique to the business partner.

An example of the control pattern reflected in the display data will be described.

The first example is a setting related to display / non-display for each item. By reflecting this setting, for example, it is possible to prevent the items included in the read display data from being included in the display data for business partners, and as a result, the image corresponding to the display data for business partners. Can be hidden when the item is displayed on the display unit. Not limited to the hidden setting, the display setting is also reflected in the same way.

The second example is a setting related to a required item / an optional item. By reflecting this setting, for example, information indicating that it is an essential item is added to the item included in the read display data, and as a result, the image corresponding to the display data for the business partner is displayed on the display unit. When displayed, for example, it is visually displayed that the corresponding item is a required item. Not limited to the setting of required items, the setting of optional items is also reflected in the same way.

The third example is a setting regarding the maximum number of digits. By reflecting this setting, for example, information that limits the number of digits when accepting the input of a numerical value via the display screen is added to the items included in the displayed display data to be read, and as a result, the business partner When the image corresponding to the display data is displayed on the display unit, for example, the maximum number of digits that can be input in the corresponding item is set explicitly or implicitly. Preferably, when the input exceeding the maximum number of digits is received, an error display is performed. It should be noted that the setting is not limited to the maximum number of digits, and the setting of the minimum number of digits is reflected in the same manner.

The fourth example is a setting related to changing the item name. By reflecting this setting, for example, it is possible to convert the information about the item name of the item included in the read display data into the information about the predetermined item name in the display data for business partners to be created. As a result, when the image corresponding to the display data for the business partner is displayed on the display unit, for example, the corresponding item name is displayed as the item name unique to the business partner. Instead of converting the item name, the output may be controlled so that the item name to be changed is duplicated on the item name.

As described above, when the display data for the business partner is created and the corresponding image is displayed, the user waits for the input or editing of the transaction data. Then, the transaction data acquisition process for the business partner in step S270 is completed, the process returns to the process of FIG. 2, and the series of processes shown in FIGS. 2, 8 and 9 is completed.

As described in detail above, according to the information processing method for managing transaction data shown in FIGS. 2, 8 and 9, the display screen for accepting input or editing of transaction data related to transactions with business partners is provided. When creating the display data (step S270), from the default display data to the business partner according to the display control pattern that defines the display format of the display screen corresponding to the display data, which is a control pattern preset for each business partner. Display data for business partners in a unique format is created for each (step S274). As a result, the user can easily manage a wide variety of transaction data while reducing the effort of customization. In particular, the format of the display screen for accepting the input or editing of transaction data can be arranged for each business partner. Further, according to the processes shown in FIGS. 2, 8 and 9, the display data for the business partner is displayed on the display unit according to the display control pattern (step S275), so that the transaction can be performed while reducing the time and effort of the user. It is possible to provide a user interface customized for each destination, specifically, a display screen for accepting input or editing of transaction data.

Further, according to the processes shown in FIGS. 2, 8 and 9, one or more of the following examples can be set as the display data format as the display control pattern. The first example is a setting regarding whether or not one or more items that can be included as items related to transactions in the default display data are included in the supplier display data; the second example is the default display. It is a setting to add information indicating whether one or more items that can be included as items related to transactions in the data are required items or optional items to the display data for business partners; the third example is. For one or more items that can be included as items related to transactions in the default display data, information that limits the number of digits when accepting numerical input via the display screen is added to the display data for business partners. Yes; the fourth example is a setting to convert the information about the item name of one or more items that can be included as the item related to the transaction in the default display data to the information about the predetermined item name in the display data for the business partner. Is. In this way, various customizations are possible, so that the convenience of the user can be improved. The display control pattern is not limited to the above example, and by using the display control pattern, items related to the contents and memos as added in FIGS. 4 to 6 can be added and selection items can be set. It can be realized.

Further, according to the processes shown in FIGS. 2, 8 and 9, when the conversion is performed to customize the transaction data related to the transaction with the business partner (step S250), the control pattern is preset for each business partner. The transaction data is converted according to the conversion control pattern that defines the conversion format related to the conversion required for customizing the transaction data, and the transaction data for the business partner in the unique format is acquired for each business partner (step S256). As a result, the user can easily manage a wide variety of transaction data while reducing the effort of customization. In particular, the format of transaction data to be taken in or transaction data to be sent to the outside can be arranged for each business partner.

Further, according to the processes shown in FIGS. 2, 8 and 9, when an error occurs in converting the transaction data into the transaction data for the business partner, an error flag is set in the transaction data for the business partner (the error flag is set in the transaction data for the business partner). Step S255). For example, when the required item related to the transaction in the transaction data for the business partner is blank in the transaction data, the error flag is set in the transaction data for the business partner. In addition, for one or more items whose conversion control pattern can be included as items related to transactions in transaction data, information to the effect that the number of digits of numerical values that can be set in the items is limited in transaction data for business partners is provided to the business partners. When the setting to be added to the transaction data for business partners is included and the numerical value included in the transaction data does not satisfy the number of digits limited by the conversion control pattern, an error flag is set in the transaction data for business partners. By setting the error flag as described above, the user can easily grasp the difference between the specified transaction data and the created transaction data for business partners.

Further, according to the processes shown in FIGS. 2, 8 and 9, the conversion control pattern includes the display control pattern, so that the user's labor required for setting the control pattern can be reduced. In step S220, the conversion control pattern and the display control pattern may be set individually.

An example of a specific effect according to the above-described embodiment will be described. For example, the format of transaction data (for example, order data) may differ because the products handled differ depending on the business partner. Even in such a case, according to the present embodiment, the format of the transaction data can be adjusted, and as a result, it is necessary to follow the conventional operation or agreement such as displaying all the default items as in the conventional case. It disappears. Furthermore, when the spare items for data linkage (for data acquisition or data transmission) are different for each customer and industry, only the necessary items can be input / output, or the input contents are interrupted (for example, digits). It may be possible to avoid being unable to cooperate (due to the number limit). As a result, when linking data, it is possible to prevent or avoid mistakes in data input / output and eliminate rework work. Furthermore, by saving the settings, the user can save the contents of the previous customization. Even if you forget it, you will be able to link data with the same settings. Therefore, this embodiment is particularly effective in a business format in which there are many data linkages and in the case where there are many users. It can also be used to check the created transaction data (for example, ordering data). Further, the above-mentioned effect is not limited to the user of the information processing device 100, but can also be enjoyed by a person who has been requested to perform maintenance by the user of the information processing device 100, thereby facilitating maintenance. Can be done.

In the above description, the case where the control pattern is newly registered is given as an example in step S220, but a new control pattern may be registered by reading and editing the existing control pattern. For this purpose, control pattern identification information (for example, a branch number in the control pattern identification code) is set in each of the control pattern of the header portion set in step S222 and the control pattern of the detail portion set in step S223. , It is preferable to keep the control pattern of the header portion and the control pattern of the detail portion individually readable. Further, in the above description, the maintenance of the control pattern master in step S220 and the registration of the control pattern identification information in the supplier master in step S231 are performed separately, but the control pattern identification information and the supplier identification information are different. It suffices if they are linked to each other, and for this purpose, the control pattern master and the business partner master may be integrated.

Further, each determination in steps S210, S230, S240, and S260 described above may be performed at an arbitrary timing. That is, the discrimination processing in steps S210, S230, S240, and S260 can be interrupted at an arbitrary timing.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the business operator is mentioned as an example of the business partner, but instead, the business partner is such as each department or warehouse of the business partner, or the order classification of the order receiving side (own company). A transaction unit may be set, and even in these cases, it can be identified by the supplier identification information.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the content of the control pattern is incorporated into the target data (display data or transaction data) has been described, but it is necessary to associate the content of the control pattern and the target data with each other. Correspondingly, the content of the control pattern may be reflected in the target data when reading.
