If the "cost-bearing department" can be changed in the cost-bearing department changeability determination unit 102b (Yes in step S4), the cost-bearing department setting unit 102c refers to the business content cost-bearing department master 106c and "business content". The "cost-bearing department" that can be selected from is extracted, and the employee who issues the draft is selected from the "department" and set (step S5).

If the "cost-bearing department" cannot be changed in the cost-bearing department changeability determination unit 102b (No in step S4), the "affiliated department" is set as the "cost-bearing department" (step S6).

[master maintenance]
As shown in FIG. 4, the employee information master 106a according to the present embodiment is a "department" associated with "A", "B", and "C" of "employee name" as "employee key", respectively. "Sales Department", "Development Department", "Planning Department" are registered.

As shown in FIG. 5, the cost-bearing department changeability master 106b according to this embodiment has the “sales” of the “business content” associated with the “sales department” and the “development department” of the “affiliation department”, respectively. "External seminar" and "development" are registered, and depending on the combination of this "affiliation department" and "business content", whether or not the "cost-bearing department" can be changed is "whether or not the cost-bearing department can be changed". It is registered as ". For example, as shown in FIG. 5, since the "whether or not the cost-bearing department can be changed" for the expenses incurred by the employee belonging to the "sales department" is "unchangeable", the "cost-bearing department" is , Becomes "Sales Department". In addition, the expenses incurred by employees other than the "sales department" who perform "sales" operations may be sales support, so the "affiliation department" may be other than the "cost-bearing department". Here, "Cost burden department changeable" is "Changeable" when an employee whose "Affiliation department" is "Development department" performs "Sales" work, so "Costs" other than "Development department" It can be the "burden department". Furthermore, even for employees who belong to the same "sales department", the result of "whether or not the cost-bearing department can be changed" differs depending on whether the employee conducts "sales" or participates in an "external seminar". In this way, since the manager masters and maintains the cost-bearing department changeable master 106b, the employee who applies for the cost can make a draft without being aware of "whether or not the cost-bearing department can be changed". In addition, this eliminates the possibility of mistakes made by employees regarding "whether or not the cost-bearing department can be changed".

As shown in FIG. 6, the business content cost-bearing department master 106c according to this embodiment is a “cost-bearing department” associated with the “sales”, “development”, and “external seminar” of the “business content”. "Sales Department", "Development Department", and "General Affairs Department" are registered. Therefore, the administrator can set a "cost-bearing department" that can be selected for each "business content".

[Example 1]
The first embodiment is a case where the employee A belonging to the sales department submits an application for settlement of transportation expenses incurred when participating in the “sales” and the “external seminar”.

When employee A logs in to "2018/2/7" using the keyboard 112 of the cost-bearing department setting device 100, the input unit 102a uses the employee information master shown in FIG. 8 based on the login information "employee name". Refer to 106a and enter the "sales department" which is the "department" of employee A. At this time, the input unit 102a refers to the cost-bearing department changeability master 106b shown in FIG. 8, and when looking at the "business content" that can be selected in the "sales department" of the "affiliation department", "sales" and "external". There is a "seminar". Therefore, the input unit 102a displays "sales" and "external seminar" in a drop-down list in the input field of "business content" on the transportation expense settlement application screen of FIG. 7, and allows the drafter to select them. .. As described above, the cost-bearing department setting device 100 of the first embodiment limits and displays the selectable "business content", thereby reducing the load applied at the time of selection and preventing input errors.

<When sales are selected according to the business content>
Employee A, who is the drafter, can easily and correctly select the "business content" for applying for the settlement of transportation expenses because he / she knows whether it is "sales" or "external seminar". When employee A selects "sales" as the "business content", the input field for the "business content" becomes "sales" as shown in FIG. Here, the cost-bearing department changeability determination unit 102b refers to the cost-bearing department changeability master 106b, and the "cost-bearing department" is a combination of "sales department" as "affiliation department" and "sales" as "business content". Whether or not it can be changed is judged to be "unchangeable". Then, when the "cost-bearing department changeability" is "unchangeable", the cost-bearing department setting unit 102c automatically sets the "affiliation department" as the "cost-bearing department" regardless of the selected "business content". .. Therefore, the drop-down list in the input field of the "cost-bearing department" shown on the transportation expense settlement application screen in FIG. 9 is fixed and cannot be changed from the initial value "sales department".

In this way, as shown in FIG. 10, the cost-bearing department setting device 100 of the first embodiment determines whether or not the cost-bearing department can be changed from the "business content" selected by the employee A who is the drafter, and ". The "cost-bearing department" can be determined automatically. As a result, the image of the journal entry for which employee A applied for transportation expense reimbursement is as shown in FIG. 10, and the "summary" clearly states "cost-bearing department: sales department."

<If you select an external seminar for your work>
Further, as shown in the transportation expense settlement application screen of FIG. 11, when the employee A selects "external seminar" as the "business content", the expense-bearing department changeability determination unit 102b changes the expense-bearing department shown in FIG. With reference to the availability master 106b, it is determined that the "affiliation department" is the "sales department" and the "business content" is the combination of the "external seminar" and the "cost-bearing department changeability" is "changeable". The cost-bearing department setting unit 102c refers to the business content cost-bearing department master 106c shown in FIG. 12 when the "cost-bearing department changeable" is "changeable", and when the "business content" is "external seminar". Determine the "cost-bearing department" that can be selected. In the case of FIG. 12, the "cost-bearing department" that can be selected from the "external seminar" includes the "sales department" and the "general affairs department". "Sales Department" and "General Affairs Department" are displayed as drop-down lists in the input field of "Department" and are selected. As described above, in the cost-bearing department setting device 100 of the first embodiment, by limiting and displaying the selectable "cost-bearing department", the load applied at the time of selection can be reduced and input errors can be prevented.

In this way, as shown in FIG. 12, the cost-bearing department setting device 100 of the first embodiment determines whether or not the cost-bearing department can be changed from the "business content" selected by the employee A who is the drafter, and ". If "Cost-bearing department can be changed" is "Changeable", by referring to the business content cost-bearing department master 106c, selectable "Cost-bearing department" according to the "business content" is extracted and drafted. It is possible to limit and display the "cost-bearing department" that can be selected by the person. FIG. 11 shows a case where the “general affairs department” is selected from the “cost-bearing departments” that can be selected by the employee A. As a result, the journal image for which employee A applied for transportation expense settlement is as shown in FIG. 12, and the "summary" clearly states "cost-bearing department: general affairs department."

[Example 2]
The second embodiment is a case where the employee B belonging to the development department goes out together with the employee belonging to the sales department, and when the business of explaining the product occurs at the customer's site, the transportation cost is set as the burden of the sales department.

Refer to 106a and enter the "development department" which is the "department" of employee B. At this time, the input unit 102a refers to the cost-bearing department changeability master 106b shown in FIG. 14, and when looking at the "business content" that can be selected in the "development department" of the "affiliation department", "sales" and "development". There is. Therefore, when inputting "business content" on the transportation expense settlement application screen, the input unit 102a is displayed so that "sales" and "development" can be selected from the drop-down list in the "business content" input field. (Not shown). Here, since employee B, who is the drafter, knows that the business is "business to explain the product at the customer's site", "sales" is selected.

Looking at this on the transportation expense settlement application screen shown on the left side of FIG. 13, "Sales" is selected in the input field of "Business content", but the "Cost burden department" of the expense statement is "Development department". ". This is because the "development department", which is the "department" of employee B, is automatically set as the "cost-bearing department" at first. However, when the "affiliation department" and "business content" are input, the cost-bearing department changeability determination unit 102b refers to the cost-bearing department changeability master 106b in FIG. 14, and "whether the cost-bearing department can be changed" is displayed. Judge as "changeable". When the "Cost-bearing department changeable" is "Changeable", the input unit 102a refers to the business content cost-bearing department master 106c in FIG. 14 and extracts the "cost-bearing department" that can be selected from the "business content". Then, in the input field of the "cost-bearing department" on the transportation expense settlement application screen shown in the center of FIG. 13, a restriction is displayed so that the user can select from "development department" and "sales department" in the drop-down list. As described above, the cost-bearing department setting device 100 of the second embodiment limits and displays the selectable "cost-bearing department", thereby reducing the load applied at the time of selection and preventing input errors. In addition, employee B, who is the drafter, can flexibly select the "cost-bearing department" according to the situation because a special pattern can be considered when deciding the "cost-bearing department".

In the case of the second embodiment, the employee B belongs to the development department, but it is "a business to go out with an employee belonging to the sales department to explain the product at the customer", and the selected "business content" is also "sales". Therefore, it is appropriate to select "Sales Department" as the "Cost Burden Department". As a result, the "cost-bearing department" on the transportation expense settlement application screen shown on the right side of FIG. 13 is determined to be the "sales department". The journal image in this case is as shown in FIG. 14, and the “summary” clearly states “cost-bearing department: sales department”.

As described above, in the cost-bearing department setting device 100 according to the present embodiment, when the cost is managed for each department, the drafter who applies for the cost determines the cost-bearing department to which the drafter belongs. Since the work content that can be selected from the department is presented, the cost-bearing department that can be selected from the work content determined in the department is presented, and the cost-bearing department is determined from among them, the judgment load of the drafter is reduced. At the same time, it is possible to prevent erroneous input and flexibly manage costs even for special patterns.

Further, the cost-bearing department setting device 100 according to the present embodiment determines whether or not the cost-bearing department can be changed by setting the cost-bearing department changeability master according to the combination of the department to which the drafter belongs and the business content. If it cannot be changed, the department to which the drafter belongs will be the department that bears the cost, so the drafter and approver will be automatically determined without being aware of the department that bears the cost. Since the cost-bearing departments that can be selected are extracted and selected from them, it is possible to reduce the judgment load of the drafter and the approver and prevent erroneous input.

In the above embodiment, the example of the cost-bearing department for transportation expense settlement has been described, but the present invention is not necessarily limited to this, and the expense-bearing department is determined in the settlement for business trips, the debt payment system, or the sales management system. Of course, it is also possible to apply it when doing so.
