Description

The present invention relates to an information generation device, an information generation program, and an information generation method.

In the construction industry, cost accounting is sometimes done using the "scaffolding method" for temporary materials and equipment (specifically scaffolding materials) that may be used in multiple construction projects. Using the "scaffolding method" for cost accounting means, for example, that the full value of the temporary materials and equipment is included in the cost of construction when they are sent out to the construction project, and when they are returned from the construction project, an evaluation of wear and tear or depletion of the temporary materials and equipment is made to estimate the value of the temporary materials and equipment, and this estimated amount is deducted from the cost of construction.

Patent document 1 also describes the creation of cost data based on data on output and resource usage data created from daily reports (see, for example, paragraph 0064).

Below, an embodiment of an information generating device, an information generating program, and an information generating method according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment.

[1. Configuration]
An example of the configuration of a task support device according to this embodiment (including an information generating device according to the present invention) will be described with reference to Fig. 1 etc. Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the task support device.

The business support device 100 is constructed based on a commercially available desktop personal computer. Note that the business support device 100 is not limited to being constructed based on a stationary information processing device such as a desktop personal computer, but may be constructed based on a portable information processing device such as a commercially available notebook personal computer, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), smartphone, or tablet personal computer.

The business support device 100 includes a control unit 102, a communication interface unit 104, a memory unit 106, and an input/output interface unit 108. Each unit included in the business support device 100 is connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via any communication path.

The communication interface unit 104 communicatively connects the business support device 100 to the network 300 via a communication device such as a router and a wired or wireless communication line such as a dedicated line. The communication interface unit 104 has a function of communicating data with other devices via the communication line. Here, the network 300 has a function of connecting the business support device 100 and the server 200 so that they can communicate with each other, and is, for example, the Internet or a LAN (Local Area Network). The data stored in the memory unit 106 may be stored in the server device 200, for example.

An input device 112 and an output device 114 are connected to the input/output interface unit 108. The output device 114 may be a monitor (including a home television), a speaker, or a printer. The input device 112 may be a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, or a monitor that works with a mouse to provide a pointing device function. In the following, the output device 114 may be referred to as the monitor 114, and the input device 112 may be referred to as the keyboard 112 or the mouse 112.

The storage unit 106 stores various databases, tables, files, and the like. The storage unit 106 records computer programs that work in cooperation with the OS (Operating System) to give instructions to the CPU (Central Processing Unit) to perform various processes. The storage unit 106 can be, for example, a memory device such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a ROM (Read Only Memory), a fixed disk device such as a hard disk, a flexible disk, an optical disk, or the like.

The memory unit 106 stores a materials and equipment item master 106a, an evaluation rate master 106b, a materials and equipment master 106c, a materials and equipment inventory information table 106d (including the inventory information of the present invention), a materials and equipment shipment information table 106e (including the shipment information of the present invention), a cost information table 106f (including the cost information of the present invention), an accounting information table 106g (including the accounting information of the present invention), and a materials and equipment receipt information table 106h (including the receipt information of the present invention).

Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of the equipment and materials item master 106a. The equipment and materials item master 106a is a master for managing information on equipment and materials (e.g., temporary equipment and materials) that may be used in multiple projects (e.g., construction projects) on an item-by-item basis, and includes, for example, item identification information (item CD and item name) and item unit price (e.g., new item unit price, etc.).

Figure 3 is a diagram showing an example of the evaluation rate master 106b. The evaluation rate master 106b includes, for example, evaluation rate identification information (CD (code)) and evaluation rates. Here, the evaluation rate is the proportion (unit: %) of the residual value of the equipment or materials evaluated from the degree of wear or depletion due to use of the equipment or materials or the proportion of the amount of equipment or materials used. Note that in Figure 3, the evaluation rate value is set in five stages, and the evaluation rate values for each stage are set to 100, 80, 50, 20, and 5, but the number of stages to be set and the values to be set for each stage can be arbitrary. However, since equipment or materials with an evaluation rate value of zero will be discarded, it is not necessary to set the evaluation rate value to zero.

Figure 4 is a diagram showing an example of the equipment and materials master 106c. The equipment and materials master 106c is a master for managing information on equipment and materials on a single-item basis set according to the evaluation rate for each item, and includes, for example, single-item identification information (single item CD), item identification information (item CD and item name), evaluation rate, and single-item unit price. The equipment and materials master 106c can be generated by the equipment and materials master generation unit 102a (described later) based on the equipment and materials item master 106a and evaluation rate master 106b.

Figure 5 is a diagram showing an example of the equipment and materials inventory information table 106d. The equipment and materials inventory information table 106d is a master for managing information on the inventory of equipment and materials on an individual item basis, and includes, for example, item identification information (individual item CD), item identification information (item name or item CD), evaluation rate, item unit price, inventory quantity, and inventory value.

Figure 6 is a diagram showing an example of equipment and materials delivery information table 106e. Equipment and materials delivery information table 106e is a master for managing information on delivered equipment and materials on a single item basis, and includes, for example, single item identification information (single item CD), item identification information (item name or item CD), evaluation rate, single item unit price, delivery quantity, and the construction number of the construction project for which a delivery request (delivery request) including item identification information (item name or item CD) and item quantity for the equipment and materials to be delivered has been issued.

Figures 7 and 10 are diagrams showing an example of a cost information table 106f. The cost information table 106f includes, for example, construction identification information (construction number), cost item, and cost amount. The cost information table 106f shown in Figure 7 corresponds to the cost information generated by the first cost information generating unit 102d, which will be described later, and the cost information table 106f shown in Figure 10 corresponds to the cost information generated by the second cost information generating unit 102g, which will be described later.

8 and 11 are diagrams showing an example of the journal information table 106g. The journal information table 106g includes, for example, journal information in which a debit account item corresponding to a cost item included in the cost information and a credit account item related to stored goods are set, and journal information in which a debit account item related to stored goods and a credit account item corresponding to a cost item included in the cost information are set. The journal information table 106g shown in FIG. 8 corresponds to the journal information generated by the first journal information generation unit 102e described later, and the journal information table 106g shown in FIG. 11 corresponds to the journal information generated by the second journal information generation unit 102h described later.

Figure 9 is a diagram showing an example of the equipment and materials inventory information table 106h. The equipment and materials inventory information table 106h is a master for managing information on the inventory of equipment and materials on a single item basis, and includes, for example, single item identification information (single item CD), item identification information (item name or item CD), evaluation rate, single item price, inventory quantity, and construction identification information (construction number) of the construction project for which the equipment and materials were inventoryed.

Returning to FIG. 1, the control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that provides overall control of the business support device 100. The control unit 102 has an internal memory for storing control programs such as an OS, programs that define various processing procedures, required data, etc., and executes various information processing operations based on these stored programs.

The control unit 102, in terms of its functional concept, includes an equipment and materials master generation unit 102a, an inventory inquiry unit 102b, an outgoing information generation unit 102c, a first cost information generation unit 102d, a first journal entry information generation unit 102e, an incoming information generation unit 102f, a second cost information generation unit 102g, a second journal entry information generation unit 102h, and a cost information output unit 102i.

The equipment and materials master generation unit 102a generates the equipment and materials master 106c based on the equipment and materials item master 106a and the evaluation rate master 106b.

When the item identification information (item name or item CD) included in the shipping request issued by the construction work is entered into the inventory inquiry screen (not shown) displayed on the monitor 114, the inventory inquiry unit 102b refers to the equipment and materials inventory information table 106d, extracts multiple records linked to the entered item identification information, and displays the extracted multiple records on the inventory inquiry screen. The operator then checks the records displayed on the inventory inquiry screen while keeping in mind the pre-set rules regarding how to determine the equipment and materials to be shipped, and determines "one or more combinations of 'item identification information (item name or item CD) and evaluation rate pair, or single item identification information (single item CD)' and 'single item quantity'" that satisfy the shipping request.

When the construction identification information (construction number) of a construction project and one or more combinations that satisfy the dispatch request are input to the dispatch input screen (not shown) displayed on the monitor 114, the dispatch information generating unit 102c executes, for each input combination, (1) an acquisition process to acquire "the pair of item identification information (item name or item CD) and evaluation rate linked to the single item identification information (single item CD) and the single item unit price" or "the pair of item identification information (item name or item CD) and evaluation rate linked to the pair" from the equipment and materials master 106c or the equipment and materials inventory information table 106d, and (2) a generation process to generate equipment and materials dispatch information including the input construction identification information and combination and the information acquired in the acquisition process, and to store the generated equipment and materials dispatch information in the equipment and materials dispatch information table 106e.

The first cost information generating unit 102d generates cost information including construction identification information (construction number), a specified cost item (e.g., "cost of purchased materials"), and a positive cost amount (= equipment and materials shipment information. unit price x equipment and materials shipment information. shipment quantity) for each piece of equipment and materials shipment information generated by the shipment information generating unit 102c, and executes a generation process to store the generated cost information in the cost information table 106f.

The first journal information generating unit 102e generates journal information for each cost information generated by the first cost information generating unit 102d, in which a debit account item (e.g., "uncompleted construction expenditure, purchased materials cost") corresponding to a specified cost item (e.g., "purchased materials cost") and a credit account item related to stored items (e.g., "material storage items") are set, and the generated journal information is stored in the journal information table 106g.

When the construction identification information (construction number) of a construction project for which materials and equipment of a certain quantity and item identification information (item name or item CD) have been received, and "one or more combinations of 'pairs of item identification information (item name or item CD) and evaluation rate, or single item identification information (single item CD)' and 'single item quantity'" determined by inspecting the received materials and equipment, confirming the quantity, and determining the evaluation rate, are input into the inventory input screen (not shown) displayed on the monitor 114, the inventory information generating unit 102f performs the following operations for each input combination: (1) inputs the materials and equipment master 106c and the equipment master 106d; or from the equipment and materials inventory information table 106d, an acquisition process is performed to acquire "the pair of item identification information (item name or item CD) and evaluation rate and the unit price linked to the unit identification information (single item CD)" or "the pair of item identification information (item name or item CD) and evaluation rate and the unit price linked to the pair of item identification information (single item CD) and evaluation rate"; and (2) a generation process is performed to generate equipment and materials inventory information including the input construction identification information and combination and the information acquired in the acquisition process, and to store the generated equipment and materials inventory information in the equipment and materials inventory information table 106h.

The second cost information generating unit 102g generates cost information including construction identification information (construction number), a specified cost item (e.g., "cost of purchased materials"), and a negative cost amount (=-(equipment and materials warehousing information. unit price of equipment and materials warehousing information. quantity received)) for each piece of equipment and materials warehousing information generated by the warehousing information generating unit 102f, and executes a generation process to store the generated cost information in the cost information table 106f.

The second journal information generating unit 102h generates journal information for each cost information generated by the second cost information generating unit 102g, in which a debit account item related to stored goods (e.g., "material supplies") and a credit account item (e.g., "uncompleted construction expenditure, purchased materials cost") corresponding to a specified cost item (e.g., "purchased materials cost") are set, and the generated journal information is stored in the journal information table 106g.

When the construction identification information (construction number) of the construction for which incurred costs are to be confirmed is input to the cost ledger output screen (not shown) displayed on the monitor 114, the cost information output unit 102i extracts cost information linked to the input construction identification information from the cost information table 106f, generates cost ledger information in a specified format (see FIG. 12) based on the extracted cost information, and displays the generated cost ledger information on the cost ledger output screen.

2. Processing
Here, an example of processing executed by the business support device 100 will be described. In this description, it is assumed that the business support device 100 is used in an equipment center that manages the entry and exit of temporary equipment and materials, which is owned by a company that handles temporary equipment and materials that may be used in multiple construction projects. In addition, in this description, it is assumed that the business proceeds in the following order: "1. Inventory inquiry based on an outgoing request", "2. Outgoing processing (see FIG. 13)", "3. Inspection and evaluation of incoming temporary equipment and materials", "4. Incoming processing (see FIG. 14)", and "5. Confirmation of incurred costs".

"1. Inventory inquiry based on shipping request"
The person in charge at the equipment center inputs the item names contained in the shipping request (shipping request) sent from the construction project to the equipment center, including the item names and item quantities of the temporary equipment and materials that the construction project wishes to ship, into an inventory inquiry screen (not shown) displayed on monitor 114.

The inventory inquiry unit 102b refers to the equipment and materials inventory information table 106d, extracts multiple records linked to the item name entered by the person in charge, and displays the extracted multiple records on the inventory inquiry screen.

The person in charge, keeping in mind the preset rule that "temporary equipment and materials with high evaluation rates are given priority for shipment," checks the records displayed on the inventory inquiry screen in descending order of evaluation rate to determine one or more combinations of item name, evaluation rate pair, and unit quantity that satisfy the shipment request. For example, if the item name and item quantity included in the shipment request are "10m scaffolding tread" and "10 sheets," and the equipment and materials inventory information table 106d is as shown in FIG. 5, the person in charge confirms that the inventory quantity of temporary equipment and materials with the item name "10m scaffolding tread" that has an evaluation rate of 100% is 30 sheets, and therefore determines the combination of the item name "10m scaffolding tread" and evaluation rate "100%," and the unit quantity "10 sheets."

"2. Shipping process (see FIG. 13)"
First, the person in charge inputs the construction work number of the construction work for which a shipping request has been made and one or more combinations determined in "1. Inventory inquiry based on shipping request" into the shipping input screen (not shown) displayed on monitor 114 (step SA1).

Next, the shipping information generating unit 102c executes the following process A11 and process A12 for each combination input by the person in charge (step SA1).
Process A11: From the equipment and materials inventory information table 106d, obtain the CD unit and the unit price associated with the pair of item name and evaluation rate included in the combination input by the person in charge.
Process A12: Generate equipment and materials shipping information including the construction number and combination entered by the person in charge as well as the item CD and item price obtained in process A11, and store the generated equipment and materials shipping information in the equipment and materials shipping information table 106e.

Next, the first cost information generating unit 102d executes the following process A21 for each piece of equipment and material shipping information generated in step SA1 (step SA2).
- Process A21: Based on the equipment and materials delivery information, cost information is generated including the construction number, the cost item "purchased material cost", and a positive cost amount (= equipment and materials delivery information. unit price x equipment and materials delivery information. quantity delivered), and the generated cost information is stored in the cost information table 106f.

Next, the first journal information generation unit 102e executes the following process A31 for each piece of cost information generated in step SA2 (step SA3).
- Process A31: Based on the cost information, accounting information is generated with a debit account item "Uncompleted construction expenditure, purchased materials cost" and a credit account item "Material supplies" set, and the generated accounting information is stored in the accounting information table 106g.

"3. Inspection and evaluation of received temporary equipment and materials"
The person in charge inspects a certain quantity and item of temporary equipment and materials received from a construction work, confirms the quantity, and determines the evaluation rate, thereby determining one or more combinations of item name, evaluation rate, and unit quantity. For example, when 10 pieces of temporary equipment and materials with the item name "10m scaffolding tread" are sent from a construction work and 8 pieces of temporary equipment and materials are received (2 pieces of temporary equipment and materials are lost), and the evaluation rate of each of the received temporary equipment and materials is determined to be 5 pieces with an evaluation rate of 80% and 3 pieces with an evaluation rate of 50%, the person in charge determines the combination of the item name "10m scaffolding tread" with the evaluation rate of "80%" and the unit quantity of "5 pieces", and the combination of the item name "10m scaffolding tread" with the evaluation rate of "50%" and the unit quantity of "3 pieces".

"4. Warehouse Processing (see FIG. 14)"
First, the person in charge inputs the construction work number of the construction work for which the temporary equipment and materials have been stored and one or more combinations determined in "3. Inspection and evaluation of stored temporary equipment and materials" into the inventory input screen (not shown) displayed on monitor 114 (step SB1).

Next, the inventory information generating unit 102f executes the following process B11 and process B12 for each combination input by the person in charge (step SB1).
Process B11: From the equipment and materials inventory information table 106d, obtain the CD unit and the unit price associated with the pair of item name and evaluation rate included in the combination input by the person in charge.
Process B12: Generate equipment and materials inventory information including the construction number and combination entered by the person in charge as well as the single item CD and single item unit price obtained in process B11, and store the generated equipment and materials inventory information in the equipment and materials inventory information table 106h.

Next, the second cost information generating unit 102g executes the following process B21 for each piece of equipment and material inventory information generated in step SB1 (step SB2).
- Process B21: Based on the equipment and materials shipment information, cost information is generated including the construction number, the cost item "purchased material cost", and a negative cost amount (= - (equipment and materials receipt information. unit price x equipment and materials receipt information. quantity received)), and the generated cost information is stored in the cost information table 106f.

Next, the second journal information generation unit 102h executes the following process B31 for each piece of cost information generated in step SB2 (step SB3).
- Process B31: Based on the cost information, accounting information is generated with a debit account item "Material supplies" and a credit account item "Expenses for uncompleted construction work, purchased materials" set, and the generated accounting information is stored in the accounting information table 106g.

"5. Confirmation of incurred costs"
First, the person in charge inputs the construction work number of the construction work for which he/she wishes to confirm the incurred costs into the cost ledger output screen (not shown) displayed on the monitor 114.

The cost information output unit 102i then extracts cost information linked to the construction number entered by the person in charge from the cost information table 106f, generates cost ledger information in a specified format (see FIG. 12) based on the extracted cost information, and displays the generated cost ledger information on the cost ledger output screen.
