DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for automatically creating electronic approval documents, and more particularly to a system for creating base paper data of different types of electronic approval documents by a common program.

[0002]

[Prior art] "Transportation expense application" in companies and government offices
And various approval documents, such as a "decision letter", are received by the superior. For example, "Transportation expense application"
If you are required to fill in the required information and receive the approval of your superior, fill out the necessary information on the base paper of the travel expenses application form and submit it to your superior to make a decision. In this case, the base paper is prepared in advance and secured at a predetermined position in a cabinet or the like, and the base paper is taken out and filled in with necessary items as needed to issue a bill. Then, the drafted document is examined in accordance with a predetermined circulation rule (for example, section manager → business department reception → business manager).

In recent years, in response to the development of computers and the development of networks, these decision documents have been digitized,
There is a movement to promote paperless (for example,
231143, JP-A-10-49598, etc.). Conventionally, data corresponding to the base paper of an electronic decision document (hereinafter referred to as base paper data) has been created using a separate program for each type of document.

[0004]

If the data corresponding to the base paper of the electronic approval document is created using different programs for different types of documents having different field attributes and processing flows, the number of document types must be increased. Requires the same number of programs. For this reason, there is a problem that the conventional method of creating the base paper data of the electronic settlement document lacks versatility. That is, when a new type of electronic approval document is created, a program for creating that type of base paper data must be created each time, so the work of creating the base paper data is extremely complicated and inefficient. There is a problem that there is.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to make it possible to create base paper data of each of a plurality of types of electronic settlement documents by using a common base paper data creation program. The present invention provides an automatic electronic decision document creation system that makes it possible to easily and efficiently execute the electronic approval document.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, what is provided by the present invention is to provide a network including a client and a server for a plurality of electronic settlement documents having different forms and different circulation rules. A definition file setting means for defining a form definition file defining each form and a distribution rule definition file defining a distribution rule for the electronic decision document, and an electronic decision document based on the contents defined by the definition setting means. Stencil data creation means for creating a plurality of stencil data corresponding to each in a format usable on a screen, stencil data storage means for storing stencil data, and a desired electronic decision document using the created stencil data. Input data storage table creation means for creating an input data storage table for storing data required for drafting The client (2) or the server (3), of the clients, which is permitted to create the base paper data of the electronic settlement document, can create a plurality of base paper data corresponding to each of the plurality of electronic settlement documents, All the clients can input necessary input data to the desired base paper data using the input data storage table and issue a desired electronic approval document, and the server (3) can issue a desired electronic approval document in accordance with the routing rule. An electronic approval document automatic creation system characterized in that a voted electronic approval document can be circulated.

A plurality of stencil data usable on the screen can be created based on the contents defined by the definition setting means. Also, it becomes possible to create base paper data of an arbitrary electronic decision document. Either or both of the definition file setting means and the stencil data creation means may be provided in the server.

By providing the server with the definition file storage means, any client permitted to create the base paper data of the electronic approval document can create the base paper data based on the definition file created while viewing the screen of the client. Instead, the base paper data can be created using the contents of the definition file storage means in the server.

The file defined by the definition file setting means may be any data format that can be used in the base paper data creation program, so that the client creates the definition file while watching the screen without being aware of the language used. it can. As for a plurality of base paper data, the base paper data for invoicing used when drafting an electronic approval document, the base paper data for screening used in examining the electronic approval document, and the review status of the electronic approval document are confirmed. When the server receives the original data for the status confirmation, the original data of the draft acceptance screen issued when the electronic approval document draft data is accepted by the server, and the electronic approval document examination data It contains the base paper data of the examination acceptance screen to be issued.

[0010] By preparing these base paper data, when a user uses an electronic approval document in an arbitrary client, a draft screen, a draft acceptance screen, a screening screen, and a screening screen are used by using a copy of the base paper data. The reception screen and the status confirmation screen can be easily displayed and used. When the screen is a web browser, the usable format is at least HTML (Hyper Text Marku).

The client 2 or 4 and the server 3 are connected via a network 5.

The client 2 permitted to create the base paper data of the electronic settlement document,
It comprises a base paper data creating means 22 and an input data storage table creating means 23. The input data storage table creating means is provided in all other clients. The definition file setting means 21 defines a form definition file and a distribution rule which define each form of different electronic approval documents having different forms and different circulation rules, as will be described later in detail with reference to FIGS. It defines a routing rule definition file.

The stencil data creating means 22 uses a stencil data creation program common to a plurality of electronic decision documents, and based on the contents defined by the definition setting means 21, a plurality of stencil data corresponding to each of the electronic decision documents. In a format usable on the screen, for example, H
It is created in the TML format or the SGML format.

The server 3 has a definition file storage unit 31 for storing different forms and different routing rules set by the definition file setting unit 21 in the client 2. Base paper data creation means 2 in client 2
2 may create a plurality of stencil data based on the definition file read from the definition file storage unit 31 in the server 3 instead of directly using the definition file from the definition file setting unit 21.

The stencil data creating means 22 is provided in the server 3
May also be present. Alternatively, the base paper data creating means 22 may be provided only in the server 3. In the embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of stencil data created by the stencil data creation unit 22 include the stencil sheet data used for issuing the electronic approval document and the invoice data of the electronic approval document. The server 3 has received the base paper data of the draft reception screen issued when the server 3 has received the data, the base paper data for examination used when examining the electronic decision document, and the examination data of the electronic decision document. These are the base paper data of the examination reception screen issued at this time and the situation confirmation base paper data for confirming the examination status of the electronic decision document. The base paper data is not limited to the above, and other base paper data may be created. These stencil data are stored in the server 3 for the stencil data storage means 32, the stencil reception stencil data storage means 33, the examination stencil data storage means 34, the examination stencil data storage means 35, and the status confirmation stencil data storage. Each is stored in the means 36.

An input data storage table creating means 23 in an arbitrary client creates an input data storage table 37 used at the time of issuing a slip. Input data storage table 3
7 is stored in the server 3. The server 3 is also provided with a calculating means 38 for performing various calculations such as accumulating various numerical values input by the client 2 at the time of drafting, for example, amounts such as transportation expenses and business trip expenses for each individual or use. .

FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the system shown in FIG. FIGS. 3, 4, and 5 are diagrams showing examples of screens displayed when a definition file of base paper data of an electronic decision document called "transportation expense application" is created. The operation of creating the base paper data of the transportation expense application will be described with reference to FIGS. First, in the personal computer of the client 2 permitted to create the base paper data,
An automatic stencil data creation program is selected by, for example, clicking an icon of a "stencil data automatic creation program". Then, on the monitor, a screen that displays only “Label”, “Text”, and “attached file” on the left side of the screen shown in FIG. 3 is displayed. URL (Uniform Resource) for confirming the destination address
e Locator) and a mail address.

In this state, the definition of the field is set in step S21 in FIG. In this definition setting, first, "Label" on the screen is dragged by a mouse to move to a field position to be created. Then, "Label Box" is displayed as shown in FIG. 3, and the content to be defined in the label Box is input. In the state of FIG. 3, the title “Transportation expense application” is being defined on the screen. That is, when "Label" is dragged to the position where the title "Transportation expense application" is to be displayed, a black dot is displayed at that position, and the horizontal position, vertical position, and title position of the upper left corner of the rectangle surrounding the title at that position are displayed. The width and height (17, 1, 24, 1 in the figure) are automatically defined, and the presence or absence of a frame is defined. In the figure, a downward arrow in each column indicates that pull-down is possible. Therefore, "none" is selected in the frame column. Next, an input method is selected. The input method includes "constant" and "automatic input". In the “constant” input method, fixed characters set at the stage of creating the base paper data are input. In the "automatic" input method, when an arbitrary client raises a draft from this base paper data using a web browser after creating the base paper data, the department name, name, and the like of the client are automatically input. In the field setting using the label box shown in FIG. 3, "constant" is set. When the “constant” input method is selected, a message such as “Please input a constant value” is displayed below the label Box. In FIG.
In response to this message, the creator of the stencil data inputs "transportation expense application form", and shows a state where the OK button is clicked with the mouse. Hereinafter, clicking a button with a mouse is referred to as pressing a button. As a result of this input, “Transportation expense application” is displayed on the screen as the title of the base paper as shown in FIG.

Similarly, columns such as "submission date", "department", "employee code", and "name" are defined by using labels. Next, “T” shown on the left side of the screen in FIG.
ext "is dragged to the text B as shown in FIG.
ox is displayed, and each column is defined in the same manner as when the above-mentioned label Box is used. In FIG. 4, the name column is being defined. As a result of selecting automatic input as the input method, the field name is changed from “post title”, “name (kanji)”, “name (kana)” to “ Name (Kanji) "
Shows the selection.

Further, in the case where no person is present at the address to which the application is sent, an optional comment can be entered in the "comment" column in order to specify the transfer destination or to add another message. it can. Furthermore, an arbitrary document can be attached to an application and sent to a destination together with the application.
For example, when drafting a contract application form, a large amount of documents may be required in some cases. In such a case, an “attached file” is used.

Further, the URL and mail address of the destination can be displayed to confirm the destination. Next, in step S22 of FIG. 2, definition of the processing flow of the electronic settlement document,
That is, a routing rule is set. This operation is an operation for setting conditions for a person who can press the seal as shown at the bottom of the screen shown in FIG. The processing flow is set between two crosses. Any number of arrows indicating the direction of the processing flow can be created by moving the mouse. In FIG. 5, the rule from the applicant is defined as: applicant → affiliation manager → business department reception → business department manager. The waypoints of the routing rule are defined using a table of “approval seal” displayed on the screen. That is, when an arbitrary mark is selected, a table of “approval mark” is displayed on the screen. In FIG. 5, the seal of the position of “business manager reception” indicated by two black dots is selected, and the display of “business manager reception” is displayed as “in-house reception”.
Is changed, the "in-house reception" in the table on the screen is clicked with a mouse, and if OK, the "in-house reception" is confirmed by clicking the X mark in the upper right of the table.

With the above, setting of the definition of the field and the definition of the processing flow is completed. When saving the set screen data, the creator of the stencil data sets the screen data as a definition file of the stencil data creator in step S24 of FIG. Image definition file 311 and processing definition file 312 in the definition file storage means 31
Save as

Definition file storage means 31 in server 3
Are image definition files 311 and processing definition files 312 of a plurality of electronic settlement documents, respectively, as shown in FIG.
Is stored. The contents of these definition files may be in any format as long as a base paper data creation program described later can be used, and may be described in a non-HTML format, for example, an SGML format. Therefore, the user can easily create the definition file while looking at the screen without being aware of the HTML format.

Next, when preparing the base paper data, a document corresponding to the base paper data to be prepared is selected from the definition file storage means 31 in the server 3 in step S25 in FIG. This selection is performed by reading a list of definition files from the server 3 and selecting a definition file corresponding to a document to be created from the list. When a definition file is selected, the definition file is displayed on the monitor in step S26. Instead of reading the definition file from the server and displaying it, if the client creating the stencil data holds the definition file corresponding to the document, read and display the definition file held by the client May be.

Next, in the judgment of step S27, if the displayed screen (the screen as shown in FIG. 5) is completed as a base paper, the screen creation button on the screen is clicked with a mouse. Then, in step S28, the stencil data creation program operates, and based on the contents of the read definition file, "spontaneous stencil data", "sponsored stencil data", "examination stencil data", "examination acceptance". One of the "base paper data" and the "situation confirmation base paper data" can be used in a browser, for example, HTML format or S format.
It is created in the GML format, and each storage unit 3 of the server 3
2, 33, 34, 35, and 36.

Next, an "input data storage table" for storing input data to be input by any client at the time of drafting
Is created in step S29, and the table is stored in the input data storage table 37 in the server 3. FIG. 6 shows FIG.
4 is a flowchart for explaining the base paper data creation step S28 in more detail. In the figure, step S6
In step 1, the common fields of the original paper data screen for drafting, examination and status confirmation are set in a format usable by the browser. The common field is, for example, a field shown at the top of the screen shown in FIG. 9 that indicates any one of “draft”, “approval”, and “denial”. "Draft" in the default state of common fields
Is set to black before the mark, and in the default state of the common field of the examination base paper data, black is set to the mark before "Approve". "Or" denial "is set to black.

Next, in step S62, the definition contents of the label BOX of each stencil data screen described with reference to FIG. 3 are set in a format usable by the browser. Next, in step S63, the definition contents of the text BOX of each stencil data screen described with reference to FIG. 4 are set in a format usable by the browser. Next, in step S64, the display logic of the processing flow (circulation rule) of each base paper data described with reference to FIG. 5 is set in a format usable by the browser.

With the above operations, the creation of the base paper data is completed. After the base paper data is created, a copy of the base paper data stored in a format usable by the browser on the server 3 is displayed on a monitor of any client, and the submission date, department name, employee ID, and name are displayed. , And necessary dynamic data such as an amount, and input an electronic settlement document.

The calculating means 38 (see FIG. 1) accumulates the input figures such as the amount of money, for example, for each individual and for each use, and stores them in a predetermined area in the input data storage table 37.
Next, a method for issuing a draft using the base paper data, performing a review, or confirming the review status will be described. (1) Draft Method A draft method using the base paper data will be described with reference to FIGS. First, at an arbitrary client, a drafter specifies an address of base paper data of a document to be drafted. Then, the client is connected to the server 3 via a web browser, and a list of the stencil data is displayed on a monitor on the client side. When the drafter clicks and selects the title of the document to be drafted from the list,
The server 3 displays the login screen shown in FIG. 7 on a monitor on the client side. The drafter displays the user I on the login screen.
Enter D and password and click OK button.

Then, the server 3 performs the output operation shown in FIG. That is, the data of the common field, the data of the label, the data of the input area, the data obtained by the logic of the flow 1 and the data obtained by the logic of the flow 2 are output to the client from the base paper data of the selected document. I do. The data obtained by the logic of the flow 1 is the data obtained according to the display logic of the name of the drafter and the seal imprint in the circulation rule of the drafted document, and the user input by the drafter on the login screen. The ID and the password are collated with the contents of the user table 81 in the server 3, and the name and the seal imprint data of the corresponding drafter are sent to the client. The data obtained by the logic of the flow 2 is data obtained according to the display logic of the name of the examination destination of the drafted document. The user ID and password input by the drafter on the login screen are the user of the server 3 The data is collated with the contents of the table 81 and the data of the name of the chief of the corresponding examination destination is sent to the client.

As a result, a draft screen as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed on the client side monitor. This image is shown in FIG.
Is the same as the image of the base paper data as shown in FIG. Next, the drafter inputs dynamic data such as the submission date, department name, employee ID, and name in the input area of the image in FIG. 9 and selects a screening destination. As an example, enter “Apply for XXX” in the input area and select the screening destination.
0 is shown. If this screen is OK as a draft screen, a send button is pressed. Then, the data of the draft screen is transferred to the server 3, where the server 3 receives the input data and stores the input data and the calculation result of the input data by the calculation means 38 in the input data storage table 37 as shown in FIG. The processing status is stored in the processing status storage table 111, and a reception message is created based on the base paper data stored in the draft reception base paper data storage means 33. In the input data storage table 37, the name of the input person is automatically stored as "application for xxx" which is data input to the input area. The processing status table 111 automatically stores, as a record of the flow 1, the fact that a draft has been issued and the date and time of the draft.

The acceptance message is displayed on the monitor on the client side as shown in FIG. After the draft is issued, the client of the examination destination may be notified by e-mail, telephone, facsimile, or the like. (2) Examination Method A method of examining a document after a draft is described with reference to FIGS. First, the client to be examined selects a document to be examined from the list of documents arriving at its terminal, and specifies the address of the screen. Then, the client is connected to the server 3 via the web browser, and the server 3 displays a login screen shown in FIG. 13 on the monitor of the client of the examination destination. The examiner inputs his / her user ID and password to be examined on the login screen, and clicks the OK button.

Then, the server 3 performs the output operation shown in FIG. That is, the data of the common field for examination, the data of the label, the data of the input area, the logic of obtaining and displaying the input data, and the data obtained by the logic of the flow 1 are obtained from the base paper data of the selected document. , Flow 2
And the data obtained by the logic of (1) are output to the client. The data obtained by the logic of the flow 1 is shown in FIG.
Is data obtained by the logic of obtaining the status based on the contents of the processing status table 111 shown in FIG. That is, the processing status table 11
The name and the seal of the drafting person are obtained from the flow 1 record of No. 1 and the name and the seal are displayed on the examination screen according to the logic of the flow 1. The data obtained by the logic of the flow 2 is data obtained by the logic of obtaining the examiner's name and imprint from the user table 81 and displaying it on the monitor on the client side. The user ID and password entered by the examiner on the login screen are
And the corresponding examiner's name, imprint, and department name data are sent to the client.

As a result, an examination screen as shown in FIG. 15 is displayed on the monitor on the client side. As shown,
In the common field, the mark before “approval” is set to black. The application content is displayed on the label. In the input area, "Apply for XXXX" is displayed. In the part of the circulation rule, the name and seal of the drafter,
In addition, the name and seal of the examiner are displayed. On the examination screen, the contents of the input area cannot be added or changed. If the examiner approves the contents of this screen, press the submit button. To deny, select "deny" in the common field. When “denial” is selected, the monitor on the client side returns from the examination screen shown in FIG. 15 to the screen shown in FIG. 14 immediately before that. When the “Send” button is pressed, as shown in FIG. 16, the server 3 receives the input data, stores the processing status in the processing status table 112 related to the flow 2, and stores the processing status in the examination reception base paper data storage unit 35. Create a reception message based on the base paper data. In the processing status table 112, the name of the examination destination, the approval, and the date and time of approval are automatically stored as records of flow 2.

The reception message is displayed on the monitor on the client side as shown in FIG. (3) Status Checking Method FIGS. 18 to 2 show status checking methods for checking the processing status of a document transmitted from an arbitrary client.
0 will be described. First, a client requesting a status check obtains a list of titles of transmitted documents from the server 3 and displays the list on a monitor, and selects a title of a document whose status is to be checked. Then, a log-in screen at the time of status confirmation corresponding to the document is displayed as shown in FIG. 18, and when the status confirmation button is pressed, the server 3 performs the output operation shown in FIG. That is, from the base paper data of the selected document, the data of the common field for status confirmation, the data of the label, the data of the input area, the data obtained by the logic of obtaining and displaying the input data of the input area, and the flow The data obtained by the logic of 1 and the data obtained by the logic of the flow 2 are output to the client. The input data is obtained from the input data storage table 37. The data obtained by the logic of the flow 1 is the data of the name of the invoicing person and the seal imprint obtained from the record of the flow 1 in the processing status table, and is obtained and displayed on the status confirmation screen according to the logic of the flow 1. Display your name and imprint. The data obtained by the logic of the flow 2 is data of the examiner name, approval, and date and time of approval obtained from the record of the flow 2 in the processing status table.

User I entered by the examiner on the login screen
D and the password are collated in the user table 81 of the server 3, and the data of the name, seal, and department name of the corresponding status checker are sent to the client. As a result,
A situation confirmation screen as shown in FIG. 20 is displayed on the monitor on the client side. As shown in the figure, if the mark before the “Approval” in the common field is set to black, it indicates that the examination by the appraiser has been approved, and the mark is attached before the “Rejection”. The case indicates that the result of the review was rejected. The application content is displayed on the label. For example, "XX"
Apply for xx "is displayed. In the part of the circulation rule, the name and the seal and the date and time of the drafter are displayed, and the name and the seal and the date and time of approval of the examiner are displayed. Even on the status confirmation screen, the content of the input area cannot be added or changed. When you press the submit button,
This status confirmation screen on the client side disappears.

In the above embodiment, either "approval" or "denial" is performed in the examination of the document after the draft, but the document after the draft can be rejected or sent back. . In this case, items such as “設 け rejected” and “○ remanded” may be provided on the screen of FIG. 15 so that the examiner can mark them.
