The cost management device 100 of this embodiment is a device that manages the cost of work.

The work is a variety of work performed by the user. The work is, for example, construction, but is not limited to construction. In this embodiment, an example in which the work is related to construction will be described.

A cost is a monetary measurement of economic resources consumed to achieve a specific purpose. In this embodiment, an example is described in which the cost is the labor cost of work such as construction. In detail, in this embodiment, an example is described in which the cost represents the labor cost of a user involved in construction. The labor cost is calculated based on the user's working hours.

The cost management device 100 is a commercially available desktop personal computer. The cost management 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 cost management device 100 comprises a control unit 102, a communication interface unit 104, a memory unit 106, and an input/output interface unit 108. Each unit of the cost management 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 communicably connects the cost management 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 a communication line. Here, the network 300 has a function of connecting the cost management 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). Note that various data stored in the storage unit 106 may be stored in the server 200, for example.

An input device 112 and an output device 114 are connected to the input/output interface unit 108 . As the output device 114, in addition to a monitor (including a home television), a speaker or a printer can be used. As the input device 112, in addition to a keyboard, a mouse, and a microphone, a monitor that cooperates with the mouse to realize a pointing device function can be used. Note that in the following description, the output device 114 may be referred to as a monitor 114, and the input device 112 may be referred to as a keyboard 112 or a mouse 112.

The storage unit 106 stores various databases, tables, files, and the like. The storage unit 106 stores a computer program for giving instructions to a CPU (Central Processing Unit) to perform various processes in cooperation with an OS (Operating System). As the storage unit 106, 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, etc. can be used.

The storage unit 106 stores, for example, a cost person master 106a, attendance management information 106b, daily report management information 106c, and the like. In this embodiment, an example will be described in which the daily report management information 106c is constituted by daily report header management information 106d and daily report detail management information 106e. The cost person master 106a, attendance management information 106b, daily report management information 106c, daily report header management information 106d, and daily report detail management information 106e are databases, tables, etc. in which various types of information are registered. In this embodiment, the database, table, and data structure used in this embodiment are simplified and described. Although the actual structures of these databases, tables, and data are more complex, parts not directly related to the present invention are shown in a simplified manner.

FIG. 2A is a schematic diagram showing an example of the data structure of the cost person master 106a.

The cost manager master 106a is a database for managing users who are the targets of cost calculations based on the working hours of work such as construction. The cost manager master 106a is a database that associates employee numbers with actual work time check categories. The employee number is an example of user identification information. In this embodiment, an example is described in which the user is an employee of a company that performs work related to construction. The actual work time check category is information that indicates whether or not a user identified by the corresponding employee number is subject to a consistency check between actual work hours and total work hours. An explanation of actual work hours and total work hours will be given later. In FIG. 2A, "check" indicates that the user is subject to a consistency check. "Do not check" indicates that the user is not subject to a consistency check.

Figure 2B is a schematic diagram showing an example of the data structure of attendance management information 106b.

Attendance management information 106b is a database for managing attendance information for each user. Attendance management information 106b is a database that associates employee numbers, dates, and attendance information.

Attendance information is information about the actual working hours of a user for each date. For example, attendance information includes the actual working start time, the actual working end time, and the actual working hours. Attendance information may also include break times, overtime plans, and the time stamped on a time card.

Actual working hours represent the actual working hours of a user. In detail, actual working hours are the working hours from the user's actual working start time to the actual working end time minus the break time. The actual working start time is the time when the actual working starts. The actual working end time is the time when the actual working ends. Figure 2B shows an example of actual working hours calculated assuming a fixed break time of one hour. Note that the break time may be variable.

2C and 2D are schematic diagrams showing an example of the data configuration of daily report management information 106c. Daily report management information 106c is a database for managing daily work report information of a user. Daily work report information is information that represents a user's daily work for each date, and is information that includes at least the work time used in cost calculation. In this embodiment, an example is described in which daily work report information includes daily work report header information and daily work report detail information. In this embodiment, an example is described in which daily report management information 106c is composed of daily report header management information 106d and daily report detail management information 106e. Note that daily report management information 106c may be composed of one database. Also, daily report management information 106c may be composed of three or more databases.

Figure 2C is a schematic diagram showing an example of the data structure of daily report header management information 106d. Daily report header management information 106d is a database that constitutes part of daily report management information 106c. Daily report header management information 106d is a database that associates daily report SEQ, employee number, date, and daily work report header information.

The daily report SEQ is identification information for the daily work report information. The daily work report header information is information that corresponds to the header portion of the daily work report information. For example, the daily work report header information includes the work content, the work start time, the work end time, the break time, and the total work time.

Work content is information that indicates the type of work. For example, the type of work, such as normal work, reduced hours, or vacation, is registered in the work content column. Work start time is information that indicates the time when work started. Work end time is information that indicates the time when work ended. Total work time indicates the total work time spent performing work represented by the daily work report information identified by the daily report SEQ. Total work time is the period from the work start time to the work end time minus the break time.

FIG. 2D is a schematic diagram showing an example of the data structure of the daily report details management information 106e. The daily report detailed management information 106e is a database that constitutes a part of the daily report management information 106c. The daily report details management information 106e is a database in which daily reports SEQ, rows, and daily work report details information are associated with each other. The row is a number assigned to each project included in the daily work report information identified by the daily report SEQ.

The daily work report detailed information includes a project number, a project name, a project type, work contents, work hours, and notes. The total work time for each one or more projects included in the daily work report information identified by the daily report SEQ is the total work time included in the daily work report header information corresponding to the daily report SEQ in the daily report header management information 106d (see FIG. 2C). This is working time.

Returning to FIG. 1, the explanation will be continued.

The cost person master 106a is stored in the storage unit 106 in advance. The actual working hours check category of the cost person master 106a is set in advance by, for example, the administrator of the cost management device 100. Further, the actual working hours check category in the cost person master 106a can be changed as appropriate by the administrator of the cost management device 100 or the like. Registered in the attendance management information 106b is attendance information received from a clocking system or the like for users to register their work time when they go to work and their leaving time when they leave work. Daily report header management information 106d and daily report detail management information 106e, which are daily report management information 106c, are updated by the processing of the control unit 102, which will be described later.

The control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that controls the cost management device 100 in an integrated manner. The control unit 102 has an internal memory for storing control programs such as an OS (operating system), programs specifying various processing procedures, required data, etc., and operates based on these stored programs. Performs various information processing.

In this embodiment, the control unit 102 includes an attendance list screen display control unit 102a, a daily work report input screen display control unit 102b, a registration restriction unit 102c, and a daily work report list screen display control unit 102d.

The attendance list screen display control unit 102a displays an attendance list screen that shows a list of attendance information regarding the user's actual working hours for each date.

The daily work report input screen display control unit 102b displays a daily work report input screen that shows the daily work report for the reception date, which is the date on which the input was received via the attendance list screen, and accepts the input of daily work report information including the work hours used in cost calculation.

The registration restriction unit 102c restricts the registration of the daily work report information inputted via the daily work report input screen to the daily report management information 106c when there is a mismatch between the actual working hours represented by the attendance information corresponding to the reception date and the total working hours on the reception date represented by the daily work report information inputted via the daily work report input screen.

If there is a discrepancy between the actual working hours and the total working hours, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b displays a warning message indicating the discrepancy on the daily work report input screen.

If the actual working hours and the total working time match, the registration restriction unit 102c registers the daily work report information input via the daily work report input screen into the daily report management information 106c.

When the daily work report list screen display control unit 102d receives the correction input of the attendance information of the date corresponding to the daily work report information registered in the daily report management information 106c, the daily work report list screen display control unit 102d displays the correction input of the attendance information for the date in the daily report management information 106c. A daily work report list screen showing a list of daily work report information for each date of the user identified by the corresponding user identification information is displayed.

Then, the daily work report list screen display control unit 102d issues a warning indicating that there is a time mismatch to the daily work report information in which the total working time and actual working hours do not match among the daily work report information included in the daily work report list screen. Display information.

In this embodiment, an example will be described in which the control unit 102 receives operation input from the user from the input device 112 and displays information such as various screens on the monitor 114. However, the control unit 102 may accept the user's operation input from either the input device 112 or an external information processing device connected via the network 300, and is not limited to the form in which the input is accepted from the input device 112. Further, the control unit 102 may display information such as various screens on either the monitor 114 or the monitor of an external information processing device connected via the network 300, and may display information on the monitor 114. Not limited.

The details of the processing flow in the control unit 102 will be explained in detail using specific examples.

Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of an example of the attendance list screen 20. The attendance list screen display control unit 102a receives a display request for the attendance list screen 20 from an external information processing device via the input device 112 or the network 300. The display request for the attendance list screen 20 includes an employee number, which is an example of user identification information. When a display request for the attendance list screen 20 is received, the attendance list screen display control unit 102a reads the attendance information corresponding to the employee number included in the display request from the attendance management information 106b, and displays it on the attendance list screen 20.

FIG. 3 shows, as an example, an attendance list screen 20 on which a list of attendance information of a user identified by the employee number "SH001" is displayed. Further, FIG. 3 shows, as an example, a form in which the attendance information includes information representing overtime schedules, stamps, and attendance records.

The attendance list screen display control unit 102a further displays a "daily report" flag on the attendance list screen 20, which indicates whether the daily work report information for the date corresponding to the attendance information has been registered in the daily report management information 106c. In FIG. 3, the "daily report" flag "◯" indicates that the daily work report information has been registered in the daily report management information 106c. In FIG. 3, the "daily report" flag "-" indicates that the daily work report information has not been registered in the daily report management information 106c.

The attendance list screen display control unit 102a determines that, for one or more dates in the daily report management information 106c corresponding to the employee numbers included in the display request for the attendance list screen 20, daily work report information is not registered for those dates for which daily work report information has not been registered. The attendance list screen display control unit 102a also determines that, for one or more dates in the daily report management information 106c corresponding to the employee numbers included in the display request for the attendance list screen 20, daily work report information has been registered for those dates for which daily work report information has been registered. The attendance list screen display control unit 102a then displays these determination results in the "Daily report" flag column.

By visually checking the attendance list screen 20, the user can easily check whether the daily work report information for each date has been registered in the daily report management information 106c.

For example, by operating the input device 112, the user can change the "daily report" flag "-", which corresponds to the date "7/3" for which the daily work report information is unregistered, to indicate that the daily work report information is unregistered. Assume a scene in which the column 20A is operated. Then, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b accepts the daily work report input request. The daily work report input request includes the date selected via the attendance list screen 20 and the employee number displayed on the attendance list screen 20.

The daily work report input screen display control unit 102b reads the date and employee number included in the daily work report input request to obtain the acceptance date, which is the date on which the input was accepted via the attendance list screen 20, and the employee number. The daily work report input screen display control unit 102b then displays on the monitor 114 a daily work report input screen for accepting the input of daily work report information for the user identified by the employee number on the acceptance date. That is, by operating the "Daily report" flag "-" column 20A on the attendance list screen 20, which indicates that daily work report information has not been registered, the display screen displayed on the monitor 114 transitions from the attendance list screen 20 to the daily work report input screen.

Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of an example of the daily work report input screen 22. The daily work report input screen 22 includes an input field 22C for daily work report information, and display fields for various information such as total work time, daily report variance, and daily report attendance variance.

The daily work report input screen display control unit 102b displays the reception date, which is the date on which the input was received via the attendance list screen 20, and the employee number as the target date and employee number, respectively, on the daily work report input screen 22. The daily work report input screen display control unit 102b also displays the attendance information corresponding to the employee number and the reception date in the attendance information display field 22A in the attendance management information 106b. This allows the user to input daily work report information while referring to their own attendance information for that date by visually checking the attendance information display field 22A.

The daily work report input screen display control unit 102b also displays the actual work start time and actual work end time included in the attendance information corresponding to the employee number and the reception date in the attendance management information 106b in the display field 22B as the initial values of the work start and end times. Therefore, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b can reduce the input load of the work start and end times placed on the user. The user can also easily input the work start and end times by modifying the values displayed in the display field 22B by operating the input device 112.

The user inputs daily work report information into the daily work report information input field 22C by operating the input device 112 while referring to the attendance information display field 22A.

Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of an example of a daily work report input screen 22 with daily work report information input.

When the input of the daily work report information is accepted, the registration restriction unit 102c calculates the total work time of the work times entered in the input field 22C of the daily work report information. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the registration restriction unit 102c calculates the total work time to be "9:30" and displays it in the display field 22E of the total work time on the daily work report input screen 22.

Then, the registration restriction unit 102c judges whether the calculated total work time matches the actual working time represented by the attendance information displayed in the attendance information display field 22A. FIG. 3 shows an example in which the total work time is "9:30" and the actual working time is "10:00". In this case, the registration restriction unit 102c judges that the total work time and the actual working time do not match.

If the actual work time check category in the cost manager master 106a corresponding to the employee number shown on the daily work report input screen 22 is "check", the registration restriction unit 102c may determine whether the total work hours and the actual work hours match. If the actual work time check category in the cost manager master 106a corresponding to the employee number shown on the daily work report input screen 22 is "not check", the registration restriction unit 102c may register the input daily work report information in the daily report management information 106c without determining whether the total work hours and the actual work hours match. Here, the explanation will continue assuming that the actual work time check category in the cost manager master 106a corresponding to the employee number shown on the daily work report input screen 22 is "check".

If it is determined that the total work hours and the actual work hours do not match, the registration restriction unit 102c restricts the registration of the daily work report information input via the daily work report input screen 22 to the daily report management information 106c. Therefore, when the total work hours and the actual work hours do not match, the registration of daily work report information including the total work hours to the daily report management information 106c is restricted.

If the registration restriction unit 102c determines that there is a mismatch between the total work hours and the actual working hours, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b displays a warning message indicating the time mismatch on the daily work report input screen 22.

For example, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b displays the difference between the total work hours and the actual working hours in the daily report attendance difference display field 22D, and displays the daily report attendance difference display field 22D in a display format, such as a color, that differs from the other display fields to display warning information. Figure 5 shows an example of a format in which the daily report attendance difference display field 22D displays "0:30", which is the difference between the total work hours and the actual working hours, in a background color that differs from the other display fields.

The daily work report input screen display control unit 102b may further display warning information by displaying at least one of the display columns for the work start time and the work end time in the work start/end time display column 22B in a different color or other display format from the other display columns. Figure 5 shows an example in which the work end time in the work start/end time display column 22B is displayed in a background color different from the other display columns.

Note that the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b may display a message, image, or the like representing the time mismatch on the daily work report input screen 22 as caution information representing the time mismatch.

By these processes, warning information indicating a time discrepancy is displayed on the daily work report input screen 22. Therefore, by visually checking the daily work report input screen 22, the user can easily confirm that the total work time entered does not match the actual working hours. In addition, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b can prompt the user to correct the work hours by displaying warning information indicating a time discrepancy on the daily work report input screen 22.

A situation is assumed in which the user operates the input device 112 to input a revised work time via the daily work report input screen 22. In this case, the registration restriction unit 102c and the daily work report list screen display control unit 102d determine whether the input total working time and actual working hours match or not, and if they do not match, the daily work report information is registered. It is sufficient to repeatedly execute the above-mentioned process of restricting the warning information and displaying the caution information.

If the registration restriction unit 102c determines that the total working hours input via the daily work report input screen 22 matches the actual working hours, the registration restriction unit 102c updates the daily work report input via the daily work report input screen 22. The information is registered in the daily report management information 106c.

Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of an example of the daily work report input screen 22 in a state where the actual working hours match the total work hours in the input daily work report information. In this state, assume that the user operates the input device 112 to instruct a registration button (not shown). In this case, the registration restriction unit 102c registers the daily work report information input via the daily work report input screen 22 in the daily report management information 106c.

Figures 7 and 8 are schematic diagrams showing an example of the data structure of daily report management information 106c in which new daily work report information has been registered.

As shown in FIG. 7, daily work report header information corresponding to the date "7/3" for employee number "SH001" shown in FIG. 6 is newly registered in the daily report header management information 106d (see area A in FIG. 7). In addition, a new daily report SEQ "004" is assigned.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, row and daily work report detail information are newly registered in the daily report detail management information 106e in association with the newly assigned daily report SEQ "004" (in FIG. 8, the area (See B).

Through these processes, daily work report information of working hours that is consistent with the attendance information registered in the attendance management information 106b is registered in the daily report management information 106c. Further, registration of daily work report information of work hours that is inconsistent with the attendance information registered in the attendance management information 106b in the daily report management information 106c is restricted.

After the daily work report information is registered in the daily report management information 106c, the attendance information corresponding to the date of the daily work report information may be modified. For example, when a request to modify attendance information is received from the input device 112 by a user operating the input device 112, the attendance list screen display control unit 102a displays the attendance list screen 20 on the monitor 114. The user modifies the attendance information for the desired date by operating the input device 112. In this case, the attendance list screen display control unit 102a accepts the input to modify the attendance information.

When accepting a correction input for attendance information corresponding to the daily work report information registered in the daily report management information 106c, the daily work report list screen display control unit 102d updates the attendance information corresponding to the correction input in the daily report management information 106c. A daily work report list screen showing a list of daily work report information for each date of the user identified by the employee number is displayed on the monitor 114.

Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of an example of the daily work report list screen 24.

The daily work report list screen display control unit 102d compares the total work hours and the actual working hours represented by the attendance information corresponding to the date for each of the daily work report information for each date of the user identified by the employee number corresponding to the attendance information for which correction input has been accepted.Then, the daily work report list screen display control unit 102d displays a warning message indicating the time discrepancy for the daily work report information for each date of the user in which the total work hours and the actual working hours do not match.

Figure 9 shows an example of how warning information is displayed by displaying a warning mark in the "Attendance Check" column 24A that corresponds to the daily work report information with a time discrepancy among the daily work report information for each of the multiple dates included in the daily work report list screen 24.

By visually checking the daily work report list screen 24, the user can easily check the discrepancy between the actual work hours represented by the attendance information and the total work hours based on the daily work report information, without using any special forms or the like. Also, for example, a manager who manages multiple employees can easily check the discrepancy between the actual work hours represented by the attendance information of each employee and the total work hours based on the daily work report information, without using any special forms or the like, by checking the daily work report list screen 24 of each employee user.

In addition, in the cost management device 100 of the present embodiment, when the attendance information is corrected after the daily work report information is registered in the daily report management information 106c, the actual working hours represented by the corrected attendance information and the daily work report It becomes possible to easily ensure consistency with the total working time represented by the information.

The daily work report input screen display control unit 102b may display the daily work report list screen 24, which is a list of daily work report information corresponding to the employee number, on the monitor 114 when a request to display a daily work report list screen including an employee number is received, not limited to the timing after new daily work report information is registered in the daily report management information 106c.

Further, when a daily work report correction request is received via the daily work report list screen 24 through the operation of the input device 112 by the user, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b displays the daily work report input screen 22 on the monitor 114. good. In this case, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b reads the daily work report information corresponding to the employee number included in the daily work report correction request from the daily report management information 106c, and monitors the daily work report input screen 22 that includes the read daily work report information. 114. Therefore, the user can input corrections to the daily work report information in accordance with the corrected attendance information.

In the above, an example was described in which the attendance list screen display control unit 102a displays the attendance list screen 20 and the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b displays the daily work report list screen 24 when the actual attendance records, such as the actual work start time, actual work end time, and actual working hours, are registered in the attendance management information 106b.

However, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b may accept a daily work report input request for a date before the attendance record is registered.

FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of an example of the attendance list screen 20 including attendance information before attendance records are registered. As shown in Figure 10, the attendance information for the date "7/4" of the user identified by the employee number "SH001" is registered for overtime schedule and clock information, but the attendance record is not registered. Assume a case where In this case, the attendance list screen display control unit 102a displays the attendance list screen 20 as attendance information for the date "7/4" with the attendance record display field 20B left blank.

Then, by operating the input device 112, the user selects a column with a "daily report" flag "-" indicating that the daily work report information is not registered, which corresponds to the date "7/4" for which the daily work report information is not registered. Assume a situation where 20A is operated. Then, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b accepts the daily work report input request. As described above, the daily work report input request includes the date selected via the attendance list screen 20 and the employee number displayed on the attendance list screen 20.

The daily work report input screen display control unit 102b reads the date and employee number included in the daily work report input request, thereby acquiring the reception date, which is the date on which the input was accepted via the attendance list screen 20, and the employee number. Then, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b displays on the monitor 114 a daily work report input screen for accepting the input of daily work report information of the user identified by the employee number on the reception date.

Figure 11 is a schematic diagram of an example of the daily work report input screen 22.

The daily work report input screen display control unit 102b displays the reception date, which is the date when the input was received via the attendance list screen 20, and the employee number, on the daily work report input screen 22, as the target date and the employee number, respectively. Further, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b displays the attendance information corresponding to the employee number and the reception date in the attendance management information 106b in the attendance information display field 22A. As mentioned above, if the attendance information for the date "7/4" of the user identified by the employee number "SH001" is registered for overtime schedule and clock information, but the attendance record is not registered. Assume that

In this case, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b displays the planned overtime start time included in the overtime schedule, which is the acquired attendance information, as the actual work start time and the planned overtime end time included in the overtime schedule as the actual work end time in the attendance information display field 22A. The daily work report input screen display control unit 102b also displays the period from the start of the planned overtime to the planned overtime end time included in the overtime schedule, which is the acquired attendance information, as the actual working time in the attendance information display field 22A. The daily work report input screen display control unit 102b also displays the planned overtime start time included in the overtime schedule, which is the acquired attendance information, and the planned overtime end time included in the overtime schedule in the work start/end time display field 22B.

For operational purposes, daily work report information may be registered before the attendance record is finalized. Even in such a case, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b generates attendance information based on information such as overtime schedule, which is attendance schedule data, instead of the work record, and displays the attendance information display column 22A. to be displayed. Specifically, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b displays on the daily work report input screen 22 the actual working hours, the actual work start time to the actual work end time, and the work start and end time derived based on the time indicated in the overtime schedule. do. That is, when the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b receives a daily work report input request for a date before the attendance record is registered, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b displays the attendance information derived according to the data of the attendance schedule on the daily work report input screen 22. to be displayed. Therefore, by viewing the attendance information display field 22A, the work start/end time display field 22B, etc., the user can input daily work report information while referring to his or her own attendance schedule data.

When the actual work start time, actual work end time, and actual working hours, which are the actual working hours, are registered in the attendance management information 106b, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b can display these times in the attendance information display field 22A of the daily work report input screen 22, etc.

Next, an example of the flow of information processing executed by the cost management device 100 of this embodiment will be described.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of information processing executed by the cost management device 100 of this embodiment.

The attendance list screen display control unit 102a displays the attendance list screen 20, which shows a list of attendance information related to the user's actual working hours for each date (step S100). By the processing of step S100, for example, the attendance list screen 20 shown in FIG. 3 is displayed on the monitor 114.

Assume that the user operates the column 20A of the "daily report" flag "-", which indicates that daily work report information is not registered, by operating the input device 112, for example. The daily work report input screen display control unit 102b receives the daily work report input request (step S102). The daily work report input request includes the date selected via the attendance list screen 20 and the employee number displayed on the attendance list screen 20.

The daily work report input screen display control unit 102b reads the date and employee number included in the daily work report input request, thereby acquiring the reception date, which is the date on which the input was accepted via the attendance list screen 20, and the employee number. Then, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b displays on the monitor 114 the daily work report input screen 22 for accepting the input of daily work report information of the user identified by the employee number on the reception date (step S104). ). Through the process in step S104, for example, the daily work report input screen 22 shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the monitor 114.

The user operates the input device 112 while referring to the attendance information display field 22A on the daily work report input screen 22, thereby inputting the daily work report information into the daily work report information input field 22C. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the daily work report information is input via the daily work report input screen 22.

The registration restriction unit 102c calculates the actual working hours represented by the work information corresponding to the employee number and reception date included in the daily work report input request received in step S102, and the total work time represented by the daily work report information received in step S105. It is determined whether or not the working time and the work time match (step S108).

If the actual work hours and the total work hours do not match (step S108: No), proceed to step S110. In step S110, the registration restriction unit 102c restricts the registration of the daily work report information received in step S106 into the daily report management information 106c (step S110). Therefore, when the total work hours and the actual work hours do not match, the daily work report information including the total work hours is restricted from being registered into the daily report management information 106c.

Then, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b displays caution information indicating that the times do not match on the daily work report input screen 22 (step S112). For this reason, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, "0:30", which is the difference between the total working time and the actual working time, is displayed in the daily report attendance difference display field 22D in a different background color from the other display fields. Is displayed. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the work end time in the work start and end time display field 22B is displayed in a background color different from that of the other display fields.

Through the processing in step S110 and step S112, caution information indicating that the times do not match is displayed on the daily work report input screen 22. Therefore, by visually checking the daily work report input screen 22, the user can easily confirm that the total work time of the input work hours does not match the actual working hours. Further, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b can prompt the user to input corrections to the work time by displaying caution information indicating that the times do not match on the daily work report input screen 22. Then, the process advances to step S106.

On the other hand, if the actual working hours and the total working hours match (step S108: Yes), proceed to step S114.

In step S114, the registration restriction unit 102c registers the daily work report information received in step S106 in the daily report management information 106c (step S114). Therefore, the daily work report information that is determined to match the actual working hours and the total working hours is sequentially registered in the daily report management information 106c.

Next, the daily work report list screen display control unit 102d determines whether an input for correcting attendance information corresponding to the daily work report information registered in the daily report management information 106c has been accepted (step S116). If a negative determination is made in step S116 (step S116: No), this routine ends. On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S116 (step S116: Yes), the process advances to step S118.

In step S118, the daily work report list screen display control unit 102d compares the total work hours and the actual working hours represented by the attendance information corresponding to the date for each of the daily work report information for each date of the user identified by the employee number corresponding to the attendance information for which correction input has been accepted (step S118). Then, the daily work report list screen display control unit 102d displays on the monitor 114 the daily work report screen 24 on which warning information indicating the time discrepancy is displayed for the daily work report information for each date of the user in which the total work hours and the actual working hours do not match (step S120). Through the processing of steps S118 to S120, for example, the daily work report list screen 24 shown in FIG. 9 is displayed on the monitor 114.

By visually checking the daily work report list screen 24, the user can easily check the discrepancy between the actual work hours represented by the attendance information and the total work hours based on the daily work report information, without using any special forms or the like. Also, for example, a manager who manages multiple employees can easily check the discrepancy between the actual work hours represented by the attendance information of each employee and the total work hours based on the daily work report information, without using any special forms or the like, by checking the daily work report list screen 24 of each employee user.

In addition, when the attendance information is corrected after the daily work report information is registered in the daily report management information 106c, the cost management device 100 controls the actual working hours represented by the revised attendance information and the daily work report information. It becomes possible to easily ensure consistency between the total working time and the total working time.

Next, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b judges whether or not a daily work report correction request has been received via the daily work report list screen 24 displayed in step S120 (step S122). If it is judged that a daily work report correction request has been received (step S122: Yes), the process proceeds to step S124. In step S124, the daily work report input screen display control unit 102b reads the daily work report information corresponding to the employee number included in the daily work report correction request from the daily report management information 106c, and displays the daily work report input screen 22 including the read daily work report information on the monitor 114 (step S124). Then, the process proceeds to the above step S106.

On the other hand, if the result of step S122 is negative (step S122: No), this routine is terminated.

As described above, the cost management device 100 of this embodiment is a cost management device that includes a control unit 102 and is used to manage costs. The control unit 102 includes an attendance list screen display control unit 102a, a daily work report input screen display control unit 102b, and a registration restriction unit 102c. The attendance list screen display control unit 102a displays an attendance list screen 20 that shows a list of attendance information related to the actual working hours of a user for each date. The daily work report input screen display control unit 102b displays a daily work report input screen 22 that shows the daily work report for the acceptance date, which is the date on which input was accepted via the attendance list screen 20, and is used to accept input of daily work report information including the working hours used in cost calculation. If there is a mismatch between the actual working hours represented by the attendance information corresponding to the reception date and the total working hours on the reception date represented by the daily work report information inputted via the daily work report input screen 22, the registration restriction unit 102c restricts the registration of the daily work report information inputted via the daily work report input screen 22 into the daily report management information 106c.

In this way, in the case where there is a mismatch between the actual working hours represented by the attendance information and the total working hours represented by the daily work report information inputted via the daily work report input screen 22, the cost management device 100 of this embodiment restricts the registration of the daily work report information inputted via the daily work report input screen 22 to the daily report management information 106c.

Therefore, the cost management device 100 of the present embodiment can restrict the registration of daily work report information in which work hours that are inconsistent with actual working hours are input. Therefore, discrepancies between the total working time used for cost calculation and practical attendance time are suppressed, and highly accurate cost management becomes possible.

Therefore, the cost management device 100 of this embodiment can enable highly accurate cost management.

For example, the larger a company is, the more likely it is that the organization will be divided according to business operations, with a manager and management organization for each employee's daily work report and a manager and management organization for each employee's attendance information. From the perspective of corporate control, it is also considered preferable to separate management organizations by business units rather than managing a variety of data in individual organizations. For this reason, it is necessary to align the actual working hours of the workers managed by each organization and correct improper cost accounting and working practices that violate the Labor Standards Act. In particular, in the construction industry, where working hours are relatively long and the division of organizations and business operations is prominent, the link between the total working hours, which is the actual working hours spent on construction, and the actual working hours represented by the worker's attendance information is unclear, which tends to allow workers to arbitrarily account for costs such as labor costs.

On the other hand, in the cost management device 100 of this embodiment, if there is a mismatch between the actual working hours represented by the attendance information and the total working hours represented by the daily work report information inputted via the daily work report input screen 22, the registration of the daily work report information inputted via the daily work report input screen 22 to the daily report management information 106c is restricted.

For this reason, the cost management device 100 of this embodiment restricts the registration of daily work report information that includes arbitrarily entered work hours, which can be the basis for arbitrary cost calculation by users, and can register and manage daily work report information that is consistent with attendance information for each user and date.

Furthermore, if the actual working hours and the total working time in the input daily work report information do not match, the cost management device 100 of this embodiment restricts the registration of the daily work report information and indicates that the times do not match. The caution information can be displayed on the daily work report input screen 22.

For this reason, the cost management device 100 of the present embodiment clearly links the user's working time information with the daily work report information including the working hours used for cost calculation, and calculates the actual working hours and total work for each user and date. It is possible to easily confirm whether or not the times match.

Therefore, in addition to the above effects, the cost management device 100 of this embodiment can manage attendance information and daily work report information for each user and date while ensuring consistency.

Further, the cost management device 100 of the present embodiment can manage the working time used for cost calculation while giving validity to the working time, and can perform cost management such as income and expenditure management for each item such as a project. It is possible to eliminate opacity in

In addition, the cost management device 100 of this embodiment transitions from the attendance list screen 20 to the daily work report input screen 22. The daily work report input screen 22 also includes a display field 22A for attendance information for the date for which daily work report information is to be entered for the user identified by the employee number represented by the daily work report input screen 22. This allows the user to easily enter daily work report information for the target date while referring to the actual attendance information for that date. Furthermore, by having the user enter daily work report information while referring to the attendance information, the cost management device 100 can reduce the occurrence of discrepancies between the actual work period represented by the attendance information and the total work time.

In addition, the daily work report list screen display control unit 102d of the cost management device 100 of this embodiment displays warning information indicating a time discrepancy for daily work report information included in the daily work report list screen 24 where the total work hours and actual working hours do not match. Therefore, the cost management device 100 can promote the registration of appropriate daily work report information.
