Abstract

An activity information processing system of a business organization stores an activity information definition table matched with activity information, and makes an activity report based on input activity information and a corresponding account of an activity report. To achieve this, a plurality of activity types for respectively defining an activity history of the business organization is displayed. When a user selects at least one of the displayed activity types, a configuration screen matched with “what” and “how” of the activity types is displayed so as to input activity information on the selected activity type. When the user inputs activity information, it is determined whether it is an external activity or an internal activity, a corresponding activity result and an activity information definition table are used to process activity information, and the processed activity information is used to provide an activity report on the activity of the business organization.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein (d) comprises:

determining whether the input activity information is an internal activity or an external activity;

determining whether the total of activity values for representing worth of the activities from among the input activity information and the total of resource values for representing worth of the resources that enables the activities are matched, when the activity information is an external activity; and

using the activity information definition table and the input activity information and making an activity report of the business organization, when the total of the activity values and the total of the resource values are matched.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein (d) further comprises outputting to the user a message for allowing input again of activity information, when the total of the activity values and the total of the resource values are different.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein (d) comprises:

referring to the activity information definition table and checking an external activity product matched with the resource used for the internal activity, when the input activity information is an internal activity; and

using the checked external activity product and calculating the price corresponding to the resource used for the internal activity.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein (e) comprises:

making an accounting report on the business organization based on the calculated price; and

making a non-accounting report on the business organization based on the calculated price, and wherein the activity report of the business organization is made for each component of the activity information.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein making an accounting report comprises:

making a component-based activity achievement report including at least one of a product and service cost report, a profit-and loss statement, a business value report, and a revenue and expenditure settlement statement; and

making a component-based resource report including at least one of a balance sheet and a cash flow statement.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the making a non-accounting report comprises:

making a component-based report including at least one of a personal resume report, a stock receipt and payment report, a production completion report, and a per-order-sheet delivery report.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

referring to the activity information definition table and displaying an activity information input screen matched with account items of the debtor and the creditor of the business organization, when information on the account items of the debtor and the creditor of the business organization is externally input; and

displaying an additional activity information input screen except the displayed activity information when additional activity information is needed.

12. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

referring to the activity information definition table and displaying an activity information input screen matched with an activity name of the business organization, when information on the activity name of the business organization is externally input; and

displaying an additional activity information input screen except the displayed activity information when additional activity information is needed.

13. A method for processing activity information of a business organization using a data processing system for making an activity report based on activity information extracted from a first database and a second database, and an account of an activity report corresponding to the activity information, the first database storing an activity information definition table matched with activity information of the business organization and managing information on accounting of the business organization, the second database managing information on non-accounting aspects of the business organization, comprising:

(a) extracting account item information matched with the debtor and the creditor of the business organization from the first database, referring to the activity information definition table, and acquiring first activity information matched with the extracted information;

(b) extracting information matched with additional activity information except the first activity information from the second database, referring to the activity information definition table, and acquiring second activity information matched with the extracted information;

(c) combining the acquired first and second activity information, using the combined activity information and the activity information definition table, and processing activity information; and

(d) using the processed activity information, and providing an activity report on the activity of the business organization.
