The summary information generation unit 114 may generate summary information by extracting transaction character strings included in the transaction information. The summary information generation unit 114 may generate summary information by adding a character string indicating a reduced tax rate to the transaction character string when the transaction character string satisfies a predetermined condition. The predetermined condition may be a condition for determining whether or not the transaction indicated by the transaction character string is subject to a reduced tax rate.

For example, when the source of transaction information is the transaction information providing device 200 and the transaction information providing device 200 includes tax rate information in the transaction information, the condition is met when the transaction information includes the tax rate information. It may be a condition that Also, the condition may be, for example, a condition that is satisfied when the transaction character string included in the transaction information includes an item subject to a reduced tax rate. The conditions are set, for example, by a provider or the like who provides the accounting information management device 100 .

The character string indicating the reduced tax rate is a character string that reminds of the reduced tax rate, such as "light", "reduced", and "reduced tax rate". Note that the character string indicating the reduced tax rate may be any character string that does not remind of the reduced tax rate as long as it is possible to identify whether or not the item is subject to the reduced tax rate.

The summary information acquisition unit 118 acquires summary information from the summary information storage unit 116 . The summary information acquisition unit 118 acquires, for example, a part of multiple pieces of summary information stored in the summary information storage unit 116 . The target determination unit 120 determines whether or not the transaction indicated by the summary information is subject to the reduced tax rate based on the summary information acquired by the summary information acquisition unit 118 . For example, if the summary information contains a character string indicating a reduced tax rate, the target determination unit 120 determines that it is subject to the reduced tax rate, and if the character string indicating the reduced tax rate is not included, the reduced tax rate is determined. Judging that it is not subject to the tax rate.

When the target determination unit 120 determines that the descriptive information acquired by the descriptive information acquisition unit 118 is subject to a reduced tax rate, the journal entry rule generation unit 122 sets the tax classification of the transaction indicated by the descriptive information to the reduced tax rate. Generate a journal entry rule to journal as

The journal rule generation unit 122 may edit the journal rules stored in the journal rule storage unit 104 to generate a journal rule for journalizing the tax category of the transaction indicated by the summary information as a reduced tax rate. For example, the journal rule generation unit 122 adds, in the journal rule stored in the journal rule storage unit 104, the same character string as the character string included in the summary information with the account item as the tax classification. By associating the reduced tax rate, a journal entry rule is generated for journalizing the tax category of the transaction indicated by the summary information as the reduced tax rate. Note that the journal rule generation unit 122 does not edit the journal rules stored in the journal rule storage unit 104, but newly creates a journal rule for journalizing the tax classification of the transaction indicated by the summary information as a reduced tax rate. may be generated.

The automatic journalizing unit 124 executes automatic journalizing using the journalizing rules stored in the journalizing rule storage unit 104, and outputs journalizing results including account items and tax classifications. The automatic journalizing section 124 displays and outputs journalizing results, for example. The displayed journalizing result is confirmed by the user 350 . The user 350 can correct the journalizing result if it is determined that the journalizing result is inappropriate. If not corrected by the user 350 , the transaction record in which the summary information and the journalizing result are associated is stored in the transaction record storage unit 102 . When corrected by the user 350 , a transaction record in which the summary information and the corrected journal entry result are associated is stored in the transaction record storage unit 102 .

The correction detection unit 126 detects that the journalizing result output by the automatic journalizing unit 124 has been corrected. The correction detection unit 126 may transmit the journalizing results before and after the correction to the journalizing rule generation unit 122 when detecting the correction. The journal rule generation unit 122 may change the journal rules stored in the journal rule storage unit 104 based on the journal results before and after the correction received from the correction detection unit 126 . For example, the journalizing rule generation unit 122 converts the tax classification "10%" to "light 8%" of the account item "newspaper book expenses" and tax classification "10%" in the journalizing result for "○○ newspaper". Change the journalizing rule stored in the journalizing rule storage unit 104 so that the journalizing result for "○○ Newspaper" is account item: "newspaper book expenses" and tax classification: "light 8%" when corrected. do.

The history management unit 128 manages the change history of transaction records stored in the transaction record storage unit 102 . The transaction records stored in the transaction record store 102 can be changed by the user 350, and the history manager 128 monitors changes in the transaction records and records the change history when changed.

The change history includes the contents of the transaction record before change and the transaction record after change. The change history may include date and time of change. The change history may include who made the change. For example, identification information may be assigned to each person in charge within the business, and the change history includes the identification information of the person in charge who made the change. Modifiers may also include characteristics of user 350 . Characteristics of user 350 may indicate whether user 350 is a sole proprietorship or a legal entity. User 350 characteristics may also indicate the industry to which user 350 belongs.

The change history may include change screens. Transaction records can be displayed in a list format or in units of transaction records. You may indicate whether the

The warning condition generator 130 generates warning conditions based on the change history managed by the history manager 128 . For example, the warning condition generation unit 130 determines whether or not to output a warning to transaction records other than the transaction record based on the transaction record before change and the transaction record after change managed by the history management unit 128. Generate a warning condition to judge. The warning condition generating unit 130 generates, for example, a warning condition for determining that a warning should be output for a transaction record having the same content as the transaction record before change. As a specific example, if the tax classification of XX Newspaper is modified from 10% to 8% Light, the warning condition generating unit 130 A warning condition is generated for determining to output a warning that the tax classification should be corrected to "light 8%" for the associated transaction record.

Warning determination unit 132 determines whether or not to output a warning based on the warning condition generated by warning condition generation unit 130 . For example, when the information receiving unit 112 receives a transaction record input by the user 350, the warning determination unit 132 determines whether the transaction record satisfies a warning condition. is determined to be output, and when it is determined that the condition is not satisfied, it is determined not to output a warning.

The warning output control unit 134 controls to output a warning for the transaction record when the warning determination unit 132 determines to output a warning. For example, the warning output control unit 134 outputs a warning that the input transaction record should be corrected to the user 350 who has input the transaction record. The warning output control unit 134 displays a warning on the communication terminal 300 of the user 350, for example. The warning output control unit 134 may cause the communication terminal 300 of the user 350 to output the warning by voice.

The warning determination unit 132 determines whether or not to output a warning based on the warning conditions generated by the warning condition generation unit 130 for each of the plurality of transaction records stored in the transaction record storage unit 102. You may The warning output control unit 134 controls to output a warning to a transaction record determined by the warning determination unit 132 to output a warning among the plurality of transaction records stored in the transaction record storage unit 102 . For example, the warning output control unit 134 causes the communication terminal 300 of the user 350 to display a list of a plurality of transaction records determined to output a warning by the warning determination unit 132, and issues a warning.

The evaluation acquisition unit 136 acquires the evaluation of the warning output by the warning output control unit 134 . For example, the warning output control unit 134 inquires of the user 350 whether or not the warning was useful after outputting the warning, and the evaluation acquisition unit 136 acquires the response to the inquiry as the evaluation of the warning. Also, for example, the warning output control unit 134 inquires of the user 350 whether or not the warning was incorrect after outputting the warning, and the evaluation acquisition unit 136 acquires the answer to the inquiry as the evaluation of the warning. The warning output control unit 134 causes the communication terminal 300 to display, for example, a button asking whether the warning was useful. The warning output control unit 134 also causes the communication terminal 300 to display, for example, a button for inquiring whether the warning was an error. The evaluation acquisition unit 136 acquires an input for the button.

After the warning output control unit 134 outputs a warning for a transaction record, the evaluation obtaining unit 136 may obtain the evaluation for the warning by checking whether the transaction record has been modified by the user 350 . For example, the reputation retriever 136 retrieves the reputation that the warning was helpful if the transaction record was modified by the user 350 .

The warning condition changing unit 138 changes warning conditions based on the evaluation acquired by the evaluation acquiring unit 136 . The warning condition changing unit 138 changes the warning condition so that the warning is not output after that, for example, when an evaluation that the warning is not useful or an evaluation that the warning is wrong is obtained.

The record group identification unit 140 is a record group in which transaction records whose abstract information has a similarity higher than a predetermined threshold among the plurality of transaction records stored in the transaction record storage unit 102, and at least one Identify a group of records where one transaction record has a different tax classification than other transaction records. The record group identification unit 140 may identify a plurality of record groups that match the conditions.

The similarity of abstract information may be derived using any known technique. For example, the degree of similarity of abstract information is derived from the degree of matching of character strings. At this time, various aspects such as partial match, front match, and back match may be considered. The predetermined threshold may be arbitrarily set and may be changeable. For example, it may be set so that only exact matches are determined to be above the threshold.

The unification determination unit 142 determines whether or not to unify tax classifications of a plurality of transaction records included in the record group identified by the record group identification unit 140 . For example, the unification determination unit 142 inquires of the user 350 via the communication terminal 300 whether or not to unify the tax classifications of the plurality of transaction records, and obtains an answer to the inquiry. can be determined. The unification determination unit 142 may further inquire of the user 350 via the communication terminal 300 about the contents of the tax classifications to be unified, and accept the specification of the contents of the tax classifications to be unified.

The unification processing unit 144 unifies the tax classifications of the plurality of transaction records included in the record group into the tax classification designated by the user 350 when the unification determination unit 142 determines to unify.

The group classification unit 146 divides the plurality of transaction records of the plurality of users 350 stored in the transaction record storage unit 102 into transaction record groups in which the transaction records whose summary information is higher than a predetermined threshold value are grouped together. Classify. The group classifier 146 may classify multiple transaction records into multiple transaction record groups.

The recommended tax classification output control unit 148 identifies a transaction record group corresponding to the descriptive information to be journalized, and based on a plurality of transaction records included in the identified transaction record group, recommends a tax classification for the descriptive information. Control to output. The recommended tax classification output control unit 148 causes the communication terminal 300 of the user 350 to display the recommended tax classification, for example. The transaction record group corresponding to the summary information to be journalized may be a transaction record group to be classified when the summary information to be journalized is classified.

For example, when the automatic journalizing execution unit 124 attempts to execute automatic journalizing for the summary information stored in the summary information storage unit 116, the recommended tax classification output control unit 148 determines that the journalizing rule for the summary information is If not registered, control to output the recommended tax classification based on multiple transaction records included in the specified transaction record group. The recommended tax classification output control unit 148, for example, refers to the tax classifications of the plurality of transaction records included in the specified transaction record group, and outputs the tax classification that has the largest number of tax classifications as the recommended tax classification. As a result, it is possible to recommend a tax classification for a journal entry that appears for the first time for the user 350 based on the gathering place of the tax classification assignment information of the other users 350 .

FIG. 3 schematically shows an example of the flow of processing by the accounting information management device 100. As shown in FIG. Here, the flow of processing for assigning a flag to a reduced tax rate transaction when specific transaction details are input will be described.

In step (the step may be abbreviated as S) 102, the information reception unit 112 acquires transaction information. In S104, the summary information generation unit 114 determines whether or not the transaction information acquired by the information reception unit 112 in S102 satisfies a predetermined condition. If it is determined that the condition is not satisfied, the process proceeds to S106, and if it is determined that the condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to S108.

In S106, the summary information generation unit 114 generates summary information by extracting the transaction character string included in the transaction information. In S108, summary information including the fixed character string is generated by adding a fixed character string representing the reduced tax rate to the transaction character string included in the transaction information. The fixed character string may be an example of a flag. Note that the summary information generating unit 114 may recommend the user 350 to add a flag, and may add the flag according to an instruction from the user 350 .

At S110, the abstract information storage unit 116 stores the abstract information generated at S106 or S108. Then, the process ends.

FIG. 4 schematically shows an example of the flow of processing by the accounting information management device 100. As shown in FIG. Here, a flow of processing for generating a journal entry rule based on multiple pieces of summary information stored in the summary information storage unit 116 for each of multiple users 350 will be described.

In S202, the journalizing rule generation unit 122 identifies the user 350 for whom the journalizing rule is to be generated. In S204, the journalizing rule generation unit 122 acquires a plurality of pieces of summary information including a fixed character string representing the reduced tax rate among the pieces of summary information of the user 350 specified in S202.

In S206, a journal entry rule is generated using a plurality of abstract information acquired in S204. In S208, it is determined whether or not processing has been completed for all of the plurality of users 350 for which journal rules are to be generated.
