Description

The present invention relates to a business-related information management support device, a business-related information management support method, and a business-related information management support program.

When making contracts for personnel in the IT industry or contract work, the expected number of working hours per month is generally determined in addition to the period and monthly rate. The expected number of working hours is determined within a range, and an additional rate for hours exceeding the upper limit and a reduced rate for hours below the lower limit are also determined.

Patent Document 1 discloses a profit management system that includes an hourly rate master. The hourly rate master defines various hourly rates used to grasp and evaluate profitability.

JP 2003-223543 A

However, the calculation of the difference in the contract amount when the actual working hours deviate from the expected working hours is not automated and is generally done manually, which is cumbersome. There may be multiple hourly rates used to calculate the difference, such as an additional rate for exceeding the expected working hours, a subtraction rate for not reaching the expected working hours, and a night rate applied to night work. In such cases, manual work is more prone to errors and is not desirable. In addition, although the IT industry and contract work have been explained as examples here, the same problem occurs in any business where the difference in the contract amount in a contract for human resources, etc. is calculated at a predetermined hourly rate based on the actual working hours.

Although Patent Document 1 discloses automatic calculations that manage multiple unit prices, it does not address the above-mentioned problems related to calculating the difference in the contract amount. Therefore, it is difficult for Patent Document 1 to solve the above problems.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above, and aims to reduce the complexity and improve accuracy of calculating the difference from the contract amount at a specified time amount based on actual working hours.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the object, the business-related information management support device according to the present invention is a business-related information management support device having a control unit for managing business-related information relating to a contract for the provision of human resources or services to an external business partner, and has a unit price setting master having a usage classification for setting a desired unit price for calculating a difference in the contract amount which is the consideration for a specified period under the provision contract, and the control unit has a calculation means for calculating the difference in the contract amount which is the consideration for a specified period under the provision contract based on the actual working hours of the human resources, using a unit price which is set to be used for calculating the difference in the usage classification of the unit price setting master , and the unit price setting master has a usage classification for setting a desired unit price for calculating a difference in the contract amount which is the consideration for a specified period under the provision contract, and One or more of the following are set: an excess unit price used when calculating the amount for an amount exceeding the upper limit of operating hours, a late-night unit price used when calculating the amount for work during a specified late-night period, and a tardiness unit price used when calculating the amount for an amount below the lower limit of operating hours for a specified period under the supply contract, and the unit price setting master has an addition/subtraction category for setting a unit price to be added or subtracted when calculating compensation for the operating hours, from at least the excess unit price, the late-night unit price, and the tardiness unit price, and the control unit further has an addition means for calculating the sales amount by adding or subtracting the difference from the contract amount, based on the addition/subtraction category of the unit price setting master set for the unit price used when the calculation means calculated the difference.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the object, a business-related information management support method according to the present invention is a business-related information management support method for a business-related information management support device including a control unit for managing business-related information relating to a contract for the provision of human resources or services to an external business partner, and a unit price setting master having a usage classification for setting a desired unit price for calculating a difference in a contract amount which is the consideration for a specified period under the provision contract, the method including a calculation means for calculating a difference in a contract amount which is the consideration for a specified period under the provision contract based on actual working hours of the human resources, using a unit price which is set to be used for calculating the difference in the usage classification of the unit price setting master, and the unit price setting master includes a usage classification for setting a desired unit price for calculating a difference in a contract amount which is the consideration for a specified period under the provision contract, the unit price setting master having a usage classification for setting a desired unit price for calculating a difference in a contract amount which is the consideration for a specified period under the provision contract, the calculation means for calculating a unit price which is set to be used for calculating the difference in the usage classification of the unit price setting master, based on actual working hours of the human resources, One or more of the following are set: an excess unit price used when calculating the amount for an amount that exceeds the upper limit of operating hours for a specified period under the supply contract, a late-night unit price used when calculating the amount for work during a specified late-night period, and a tardiness unit price used when calculating the amount for an amount that falls short of the lower limit of operating hours for a specified period under the supply contract, and the unit price setting master has an addition/subtraction category for setting at least the excess unit price, the late-night unit price, and the tardiness unit price to be added or subtracted when calculating compensation for the operating hours, and the control unit further has an addition step in which the summation means calculates the sales amount by adding or subtracting the difference from the contract amount based on the addition/subtraction category of the unit price setting master that is set for the unit price used when calculating the difference in the calculation step.

Below, an embodiment of a business-related information management support device, a business-related information management support method, and a business-related information management support program according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. This embodiment is a specific example applied to contracts in the IT industry. Note that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

[1. Overview]
Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of a contract. When contracting with personnel, for example, the contract amount, basic amount, expected time, minimum time limit, maximum time limit, overtime rate, night time rate, lateness rate, and the period of the contract are determined in addition to the contract amount shown in Fig. 1.

The contract amount is the price for the work assumed at the time of the contract, for example 400,000 yen. The basic amount is the price for a specified period (for example, one month) assumed at the time of the contract, for example 400,000 yen. For the sake of convenience, the following explanation will be given assuming that the specified period is in monthly units.

The expected time is a value assumed as the basic value of monthly operating hours, for example 160 hours. The lower limit time is the lower limit of monthly operating hours, for example 150 hours. The upper limit time is the upper limit of monthly operating hours, for example 180 hours. Depending on the lower limit and upper limit values, the basic number of monthly operating hours is determined within a range, such as 150 to 180 hours.

The excess rate is the hourly rate for the working hours in a month that exceed the upper limit, for example 3,000 yen. The night-time rate is the hourly rate for working in the night hours, for example 4,000 yen. In this embodiment, the night-time rate is applied when the working hours in a month exceed the upper limit and the work falls in the night hours. The tardiness rate is the amount deducted for each hour when the working hours in a month fall below the lower limit, for example 3,000 yen.

As can be seen from the fact that the contract above sets an amount for overtime in addition to the basic number of hours, in actual operation after the contract is made, the total monthly actual operating hours (actual work hours) may deviate from the basic number of operating hours for the month. The business-related information management support device of this embodiment calculates the difference in this case. The specific configuration and operation are described below.

2. Configuration
The configuration of the work-related information management support device 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the work-related information management support device 100.

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

The business-related information management support device 100 includes a control unit 110, a memory unit 120, a communication interface unit 130, and an input/output interface unit 140. Each unit included in the business-related information management 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 130 communicatively connects the business-related information management 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 130 has a function of communicating data with other devices via the communication line. Here, the network 300 has a function of connecting the business-related information management support device 100 and the server 200 so that they can communicate with each other, and is, for example, a LAN (Local Area Network) or the Internet. Note that the data stored in the memory unit 120 described later may be stored in the server 200.

An input device 150 and an output device 160 are connected to the input/output interface unit 140. The output device 160 may be a monitor (including a home television), a speaker, or a printer. The input device 150 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 160 may be referred to as the monitor 160, and the input device 150 may be referred to as the keyboard 150 or the mouse 150.

The control unit 110 is composed of a CPU (Central Processing Unit), internal memory, etc., and controls the business-related information management support device 100. The control unit 110 executes various information processing based on control programs such as an OS (Operating System) stored in the internal memory, programs that define various processing procedures, etc., required data, etc.

The control unit 110, in terms of its functional concept, comprises the functional units of a contract content input unit 111, an operating time input unit 112, a calculation processing unit 113, and an accumulation processing unit 114. The calculation processing unit 113 is an example of a calculation means. The accumulation processing unit 114 is an example of an accumulation means. When each of the functional units 111 to 114 performs processing, it requests data input from the operator of the business-related information management support device 100 via the output device 160, and accepts input from the operator via the input device 150.

The contract content input unit 111 stores the contract content input by the operator in a specified area of the storage unit 120. The working time input unit 112 stores various times input by the operator in a specified area of the storage unit 120. When the contract specifies the contract period and contract amount of the human resources required for the work, the calculation processing unit 113 calculates the difference from the contract amount based on the actual working hours of the human resources at a preset hourly rate (calculation process). The summation processing unit 114 calculates the sales amount by adding the contract amount and the difference calculated by the calculation processing unit 113 (summation process). The detailed operation of each of the above functional units 111 to 114 will be described later.

The storage unit 120 stores various databases, tables, files, and the like. The storage unit 120 records computer programs that work in conjunction with the OS to give instructions to the CPU to perform various processes. The storage unit 120 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 drive (HDD), a flexible disk, an optical disk, or the like.

The storage unit 120 includes a unit price setting master 121, an order data storage unit 122, a contract detail data storage unit 123, a sales data storage unit 124, and a sales detail data storage unit 125. Note that in FIG. 2, the storage unit 120 includes all of these, but in practice, it is not necessary for a single storage medium to include all of these.

The unit price setting master 121 and each of the data storage units 122 to 125 described above store data in the form of a table, for example. Note that in practice, the unit price setting master 121 and each of the data storage units 122 to 125 may store data in a format other than a table.

Figure 3 is a diagram showing the contents stored in the unit price setting master 121. The unit price setting master 121 includes items such as unit price classification category, unit price code, unit price name, addition/subtraction category, usage category, initial set category, and remarks. The unit price classification category is, for example, "0" or "1." Unit price classification category "0" indicates that the category is for "billing" when the company dispatches personnel (receiving an order). Unit price classification category "1" indicates that the category is for "purchasing" when personnel come to the company (ordering).

The unit price code is a unique number for each record in this unit price setting master 121, and is a consecutive number starting from 1, for example. In this embodiment, the unit price code is "1" to "10". This means that up to 10 types of unit price fields are displayed on the screen that serves as the user interface (UI) (see Figures 5 and 6, described below), and the unit price value can be set on that screen.

The usage category indicates whether each record in this unit price setting master 121 is to be displayed on the UI screen described above. The setting fields for the unit price name and value of a record with a usage category of "1" are displayed on the UI screen, and those of a record with a usage category of "0" are not displayed on the UI screen. In the example shown in Figure 3, the unit prices set in records with unit price codes from "1" to "3" are displayed on the UI screen.

The unit price name is, for example, "overtime unit price", "nighttime unit price", "late/early unit price", etc. The remarks are used to give a more detailed explanation of each unit price name, for example, "overtime unit price", "overtime unit price (nighttime)", "late/early unit price". Note that overtime unit prices, nighttime unit prices, and late/early unit prices have already been explained in [1. Overview], so they will not be explained here.

The addition/subtraction category indicates whether each unit price is to be added to or subtracted from the base amount, with "0" indicating an addition unit price and "1" indicating a subtraction unit price. The initial set category indicates whether or not the item is subject to automatic calculation on the UI screen, with "0" indicating it is not subject and "1" indicating it is subject.

Figure 4 shows examples of order data, contract detail data, sales data, and sales detail data. These data are examples of business-related information. Order data is stored in the order data storage unit 122. Contract detail data is stored in the contract detail data storage unit 123. Sales data is stored in the sales data storage unit 124. Sales detail data is stored in the sales detail data storage unit 125.

The order data includes items such as the order number and invoice amount. The order number is a unique number assigned to each order, for example "J0001". The invoice amount is the amount to be received as compensation for the order, and is the contract amount (for example 400,000) plus the amount of consumption tax on the contract amount (for example 32,000) (for example 432,000).

The contract detail data includes items such as order number, order detail number, lower limit time, upper limit time, basic amount, expected operating time, contract amount, contract consumption tax, unit price 1, unit price 2, unit price 3, ..., unit price 10, etc.

The order number is the same as the order number in the order data. The order detail number is a number that is unique to each record in the contract detail data storage unit 123.

The minimum and maximum hours, basic amount, and contract amount have already been explained in [1. Overview], so they will be omitted here. Also, the expected operating hours are the same as the expected hours explained in [1. Overview].
The contract consumption tax is the amount of consumption tax on the contract amount. The unit price 1 to unit price 10 are the unit price amounts corresponding to the unit price codes 1 to 10 in the unit price setting master 121.

In addition, the values entered in the contract details screen (see Figure 5, described later), one of the UI screens mentioned above, are entered in the fields of the order data and contract details data other than the order number and order detail number. The contract consumption tax in the contract details data is entered as the order consumption tax on the contract details screen.

Sales data includes items such as sales number, order number, and invoice amount. The sales number is a unique number assigned to each sale, for example "U0001". The order number is the order number of the order data that is the source of the sale. The invoice amount is the sales amount including tax shown on the sales details screen (see Figure 6, described below), which is one of the UI screens mentioned above. This sales amount including tax is the sum of the sales amount and sales consumption tax in the sales details data, which are explained next.

The sales detail data includes items such as sales number, sales detail number, order detail number, deduction time, overtime, base amount, operating time, sales amount, sales consumption tax, unit price 1, time 1, amount 1, unit price 2, time 2, amount 2, unit price 3, time 3, amount 3, ..., unit price 10, time 10, amount 10, etc. Each record of the sales detail data corresponds to each record of the contract detail data.

The sales number in the sales detail data is the same as the sales number in the sales data. The sales detail number is a number that is unique to each record in the sales detail data storage unit 125. The order detail number is the order detail number of the record in the contract detail data to which the record corresponds.

The basic amount is the same as the same item in the contract details data. Unit price 1 to unit price 10 are the same as the same item in the contract details data.

Operating hours are actual operating hours (actual work hours). Deduction hours are the number of hours to be subtracted, such as the difference between the minimum time and the operating time when the actual operating time is less than the minimum time. Overtime hours are the number of hours to be added, such as the difference between the maximum time and the operating time when the actual operating time is greater than the maximum time.

Time 1 is the number by which unit price 1, i.e. the additional unit price, should be multiplied, and is, for example, the difference between the actual working hours and the upper limit time. Time 2 is the number by which unit price 2, i.e. the night time unit price, should be multiplied, and is, for example, the number of hours worked during the night hours. Time 3 is the number by which unit price 3, i.e. the tardiness/earliness unit price, should be multiplied, and is, for example, the difference between the actual working hours and the lower limit time.

The working hours, deduction hours, overtime hours, and hours 1 to 3 are entered on the sales details screen (see Figure 6, described later). In the example shown in Figure 4, the actual working hours are within the range of the basic number of working hours for a month, so deduction hours, overtime hours, and hours 1 to 3 are all "0". Note that hours 4 to 10 are the numbers by which unit price 4 to unit price 10 should be multiplied, but in this embodiment, unit price 4 to unit price 10 are not set, so hours 4 to 10 are "0".

Amount 1 (up to amount 10) is the value obtained by multiplying unit price 1 (up to unit price 10) by time 1 (up to time 10). The sales amount described above is the value obtained by adding or subtracting amounts 1 to 10 from the basic amount according to the addition/subtraction category of the unit price setting master 121. The value is calculated on the sales details screen (see Figure 6, described below).

The sales amount is the amount of sales that does not include consumption tax, and is a value obtained by adding or subtracting the basic amount as necessary based on the actual operating hours. In other words, the sales amount is the basic amount plus the values of the items used from Amount 1 to Amount 10. The sales consumption tax is the amount of consumption tax on the sales amount. The sales amount and sales consumption tax values are calculated while the sales details screen (see Figure 6, described below) is displayed. Note that in the example shown in Figure 4, the actual operating hours are within the range of the basic operating hours for the month, so the sales amount is the same as the basic amount.

Figure 5 shows an example of a contract details screen. The contract details screen is a screen (UI screen) that serves as a user interface (UI) for the operator of the business-related information management support device 100 to input the contract details.

The monitor 160 displays a contract details screen under the control of the control unit 110 as the contract details input unit 111. The contract details input unit 111 performs automatic numbering or automatic calculation of various numerical values displayed on the contract details screen according to a program or the like. In addition, the contract details input unit 111 generates and updates order data and contract details data (see FIG. 4) based on the values displayed or entered on the contract details screen.

The contract details screen includes a column for the order detail number, a column for the lower limit time, a column for the upper limit time, a column for the unit price name, a column for the addition/subtraction category, a column for the unit price amount, a column for the basic amount, a column for the expected operating time, a column for the order consumption tax, a column for the contract amount, a column for the contract amount including tax, etc.

The order detail number field is a field in which the order detail number of the contract detail data is automatically generated and displayed and input, and cannot be rewritten.
The lower limit time field and the upper limit time field are fields that accept input of arbitrary values by the operator, and input is essential.

In the example of Figure 5, the unit price name column, the addition/subtraction category column, and the unit price amount column are displayed in three rows. This number of rows corresponds to the number of records in the unit price setting master 121 for which the usage category is set to 1. The unit price name column displays the unit price name in the unit price setting master 121. The addition/subtraction category column displays "Addition" or "Subtraction" depending on the addition/subtraction category in the unit price setting master 121. The unit price amount column is a column that accepts input of each unit price from the operator. The unit prices entered in the three rows of unit price amount columns are stored in unit price 1 to unit price 3 in the contract detail data.

The basic amount field is a field for inputting the value of the basic amount. The estimated operating time field is a field for inputting the estimated operating time for the month. The order consumption tax field is a field for inputting the value of the consumption tax for the order. The basic amount field, estimated operating time field, and order consumption tax field are fields that accept arbitrary values input by the operator, and input is required. Note that the order consumption tax field automatically calculates and displays a value according to the value input in the basic amount field, but this can be rewritten.

The contract amount field is a field for entering the value of the contract amount; the same value as the basic amount is automatically displayed and entered, and this cannot be rewritten. The contract amount including tax field is a field for entering the value of the contract amount including tax; the sum of the contract amount and the order consumption tax is automatically displayed and entered, and this cannot be rewritten.

Figure 6 is a diagram showing an example of a sales details screen. The sales details screen is a screen (UI screen) that serves as a user interface (UI) for the operator of the business-related information management support device 100 to input sales details corresponding to one record selected from the contract details data (see Figure 4).

The monitor 160 displays a sales statement screen under the control of the control unit 110 as the operating time input unit 112. The operating time input unit 112 automatically numbers or calculates various values displayed on the sales statement screen according to a program or the like. In addition, the operating time input unit 112 generates and updates sales data and sales statement data (see FIG. 4) based on values displayed or entered on the sales statement screen.
Furthermore, in response to updates to the values of the corresponding items, the calculation processing unit 113 and the summation processing unit 114 perform predetermined calculation processing (calculation processing, summation processing). The operating time input unit 112 reflects the results of the calculation on the sales statement screen.

The sales details screen includes a sales details number column, an order details number column, a forecast sales amount column, a forecast sales consumption tax column, a base amount column, an expected operating time column, a lower limit time column, an upper limit time column, an operating time column, a deduction time column, an overage time column, a unit price name column, an addition/subtraction category column, a unit price amount column, a time column, an amount column, an adjustment amount column, a sales amount column, a sales consumption tax column, and a sales amount including tax column.

The sales detail number field is a field where the sales detail number of the sales detail data is displayed and entered automatically, and cannot be rewritten. The order detail number field is a field where the order detail number of the contract detail data record that corresponds to the sales content entered on the sales detail screen is displayed and entered, and cannot be rewritten.

The projected sales amount field displays and enters the contract amount from the contract detail data. The projected sales consumption tax field displays and enters the contract consumption tax from the contract detail data. The base amount field displays and enters the base amount from the contract detail data. The estimated operating time field displays and enters the estimated operating time from the contract detail data. The minimum time field displays the minimum time from the contract detail data. The maximum time field displays and enters the maximum time from the contract detail data. The input information in these fields (projected sales amount field, projected sales consumption tax field, base amount field, estimated operating time field, minimum time field, maximum time field) cannot be rewritten.

The working hours field is for inputting actual working hours. The deduction time field is for inputting the number of hours to be subtracted; for example, if the actual working hours are less than the lower limit, the difference is input. The overage time field is for inputting the number of hours to be added; for example, if the actual working hours are more than the upper limit, the difference is input. The deduction time field and overage time field display and input values through automatic calculation triggered by an entry into the working hours field, but they can be rewritten.

The unit price name field, the addition/subtraction category field, and the unit price amount field are displayed according to the settings of the unit price setting master 121, just like the contract details screen (see Figure 5). The unit price amount field displays the values of unit price 1 to unit price 10 in the contract details data (see Figure 4). Note that the unit price name field, the addition/subtraction category field, and the unit price amount field cannot be rewritten.

The time column is a column that accepts input of any value by the operator. For time columns whose initial set classification is "1" in the unit price setting master 121, the operating time input unit 112 automatically inputs the value of the column. Furthermore, for time columns whose initial set classification is "0", no value is automatically input. Note that the values of the various time columns mentioned above can be rewritten manually regardless of automatic input.

In the example shown in Figure 3, the time fields for the overtime rate and tardiness rate are subject to automatic input, but the time field for the night rate is not. The value in the overtime time field is displayed and entered into the time field for the overtime rate as the initial value to be automatically input. The value in the deduction time field is displayed and entered into the time field for the tardiness rate as the initial value to be automatically input. The time field for the night rate is not automatically input. When the time field for the night rate receives input, the value in the time field for the overtime rate is subtracted by the value of that field. The values in these time fields can be rewritten manually regardless of automatic input.

The amount field displays and inputs the value obtained by multiplying the value in the unit price field by the value in the time field, as calculated automatically by the calculation processing unit 113. Note that the amount field cannot be rewritten.

The Adjustment Amount field is a field that accepts any value input by the operator. The value entered in this field is added to the Sales Amount field. For example, if the value in the Adjustment Amount field is a positive number, the value in the Sales Amount field increases, and if the value in the Adjustment Amount field is a negative number, the value in the Sales Amount field decreases.

The sales amount field displays and inputs the sum of the basic amount and the value in the amount field (sales amount) automatically calculated by the summation processing unit 114, and cannot be rewritten. The sales consumption tax field displays and inputs the amount of consumption tax on the sales amount (sales consumption tax) automatically, but can be rewritten. The sales amount including tax field displays and inputs the combined value of the sales amount and sales consumption tax (sales amount including tax) automatically, and cannot be rewritten.

In the explanation of the sales details screen above, in some fields, guideline values are displayed and entered by automatic input or automatic calculation, but in practice, it is not necessary to display and enter values by automatic input or automatic calculation, and the operator may manually enter values without automatic input or automatic calculation.

3. Specific examples of processing
7 is a diagram showing an example of a process flow. First, an operator of the business-related information management support device 100 of this embodiment inputs unit price settings using a predetermined UI screen that the control unit 110 causes to be displayed on the monitor 160. The control unit 110 updates the unit price setting master 121 based on the contents of the operator's input.

When a contract is made, the operator displays the contract details screen (see Figure 5) and enters the details of the contract.

When displaying the contract details screen, the contract content input unit 111 of the control unit 110 reads the settings of the unit price setting master 121 and displays the contract details screen reflecting the settings on the monitor 160. The contract content input unit 111 also creates records in the order data storage unit 122 and the contract details data storage unit 123 based on the values displayed and entered on the contract details screen.

When a sale is made, the operator displays the sales details screen (see Figure 6) and enters the details of the sale.

When displaying the sales details screen, the operating time input unit 112 of the control unit 110 reads the settings of the unit price setting master 121 and the data of the contract details data 123, and displays the sales details screen reflecting the settings and data on the monitor 160.
When the operator inputs a value into the sales details screen, the values in the fields that are automatically calculated based on that value are updated.
The calculation processing unit 113 calculates the difference from the basic amount based on the overtime and deduction time on the sales details screen, and the summing processing unit 114 calculates the sales amount by adding the difference to the basic amount.

The operating time input unit 112 then stores the values displayed and entered on the sales details screen in the sales data and sales details data (see Figure 4).

Next, the following three patterns (1) to (3) classified according to operating time will be explained.
(1) Pattern 1: When lower limit time <= operating time <= upper limit time In the case of pattern 1, the sales details screen will be as shown in FIG. 6, and each data will be as shown in FIG. 4. Numerical values will be illustrated in more detail. The operating time in pattern 1 is 160 hours, which is between the lower limit time (150 hours) and the upper limit time of 180 hours. Therefore, the deduction time and excess time are "0". Therefore, since all excess unit prices are multiplied by a time of "0", the difference calculated by the calculation processing unit 113 is "0". The sales amount calculated by the summing processing unit 114 is the sum of the difference "0" and the basic amount, so it is the same as the basic amount.

At least when the sales details screen is closed, the control unit 110 creates and updates sales data and sales details data. In practice, the control unit 110 may be controlled so that data is created or updated not only when the screen is closed, but also, for example, each time an input is made.

(2) Pattern 2: When operation time<lower limit time Fig. 8 is a diagram showing the order data, contract detail data, sales data, and sales detail data in the case of pattern 2. Fig. 9 is a diagram showing the state of the sales detail screen in the case of pattern 2.

The operating hours for pattern 2 are 140 hours, which is 10 hours less than the lower limit (150 hours). Therefore, the deduction time is "10". Therefore, the calculation processing unit 113 calculates the difference as "-30,000", which is the amount obtained by multiplying this "10" by the lateness unit price "3,000" and adding the addition/subtraction category "1". The sales amount calculated by the summation processing unit 114 is "370,000", which is the sum of the difference "-30,000" and the basic amount "400,000". Furthermore, the sales consumption tax and the sales amount including tax are also changed accordingly from the values based on the basic amount.

(3) Pattern 3: When Operation Time>Upper Limit Time Fig. 10 shows the order data, contract details data, sales data, and sales details data in the case of pattern 3. Fig. 11 shows the state of the sales details screen in the case of pattern 3.

The operating hours for pattern 3 are 200 hours, which is 20 hours more than the upper limit (180 hours). Therefore, the excess hours are "20". Therefore, the calculation processing unit 113 calculates the difference as "60,000", which is the result of multiplying this "20" by the excess unit price "3,000" and adding the addition/subtraction category "0". The sales amount calculated by the summation processing unit 114 is "460,000", which is the sum of the difference "60,000" and the basic amount "400,000". Furthermore, the sales consumption tax and the sales amount including tax are also changed accordingly from the values based on the basic amount.

In this way, the business-related information management support device 100 of this embodiment calculates the difference based on the unit price and the number of hours entered by the operator in the fields. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to reduce the complexity and increase the accuracy when calculating the difference from the contract amount at a predetermined time amount based on the actual operation time.
Furthermore, according to this embodiment, by setting multiple unit hours prices and also setting usage categories, addition/subtraction categories, and initial set categories, automatic calculations can be easily performed using multiple unit hours prices as appropriate.

Although the above describes an example of calculating the amount based on the actual work hours, the business-related information management support device 100 of this embodiment can be used for purposes other than calculating the compensation for actual work by changing the settings and operation.

For example, even if you do not enter the actual operating hours on the sales details screen, by entering values in the overtime column or the deduction time column, the overtime unit price and late unit price columns will display values according to the respective times, and the value in the sales amount column will be updated. Using it in this way, you can estimate the increase or decrease in sales amount.
Also, if you manually enter a value in the time column of each unit price, the values in the amount column and sales amount column of each unit price will be updated in the same way as in the above operation. By using it in this way, you can classify by each unit price and estimate the difference, for example.

Furthermore, when using the business-related information support device 100 for the above-mentioned calculations, convenience can be further improved by appropriately setting appropriate predetermined unit prices in the unit price setting master 121 in addition to the general unit prices (overtime, late night, early morning) shown in Figure 3.
