Abstract:
1. An electronic accounting-document system, comprising: an accounting-document creation unit including a processor, an accounting-document data creating unit for creating accounting-document data on an accounting document, a read accounting-document file storing unit, for storing information as a read accounting-document file, in which the accounting-document data created by the accounting-document data creating unit is associated with a type of accounting-document and an accounting-document number, a master file storing unit for storing a master file in which all accounting-documents to be outputted are associated with a type of accounting-document and an accounting-document number, an accounting-document data dividing unit for dividing, using the processor, the accounting-documents to be outputted, into accounting-document present data and accounting-document absent data based on the accounting-document number included in the read accounting-document file and the master file, wherein the accounting-document present data contains accounting-document specification information for specifying an accounting document, record-medium specification information for specifying a record medium as an output destination, and the accounting-document data, and the accounting-document absent data does not contain any of the accounting-document data, but does contain accounting-document specification information for specifying an accounting document and record-medium specification information for specifying a record medium as an output destination, an identification-information giving unit for giving the accounting-document present data identification information for identifying the accounting-document present data and giving the accounting-document absent data identification information for identifying the accounting-document absent data, and an accounting-document data transmitting unit for transmitting the accounting-document present data and the accounting-document absent data; and an accounting-document processing unit including a receiving unit for receiving the accounting-document present data and the accounting-document absent data which are transmitted by the accounting-document data transmitting unit, a monitoring unit for monitoring the accounting-document present data and the accounting-document absent data, and identifying the accounting-document present data and the accounting-document absent data based on the identification information given to the accounting-document present data and the accounting-document absent data, a data processing unit for creating output accounting-document data to be outputted in an arbitrary format, wherein the record-medium specification information contained in the accounting-document present data, an accounting document name corresponding to the accounting-document specification information contained in the accounting-document present data, and the accounting-document data contained in the accounting-document present data are correlated to each other, a storing unit for storing the output accounting-document data created by the data processing unit, and an updating unit for updating the output accounting-document data based on the accounting-document absent data, without creating accounting-document data to be outputted using the accounting-document absent data, wherein the updating unit specifies the output accounting-document data stored in the storing unit based on the record-medium specification information of the accounting-document absent data, and writes the accounting document name corresponding to the accounting-document specification information of the accounting-document absent data, and information indicating absence of the accounting-document data with respect to the specified output accounting-document data.
