  • Patent number: 9819829
    Abstract: An expense management application of an MFP requests a matter management server to perform user authentication when a user accesses a web server via a web browser and acquires matter information about the authenticated user. Further, the expense management application monitors a parameter log of a service provider and acquires information about a job, when executed by the service provider according to a request from the web server, from the parameter log. Then, the expense management application registers expense information based on the acquired information, as expense information about the acquired matter information, to the matter management server.
