Skill: Convert business operational data into a mandatory government statistical survey return

Region: Japan (日本) Category: Government — Statistics Does: Takes a business's operational data (employment, sales, output, inventory, capital investment, etc.) and assembles the statistical survey return for the 政府統計オンライン調査システム (e-Stat / online survey portal) — emitted as the per-survey CSV or fixed-format layout prescribed by the conducting authority (Statistics Bureau / 総務省統計局 and other ministries). Spec: e-Stat 政府統計オンライン調査システム — per-survey CSV / fixed-format layout (current version)

Japan's 統計法 (Statistics Act) designates certain surveys as 基幹統計調査 (fundamental) or 一般統計調査 (general); for 基幹統計調査 a selected business has a legal duty to report (報告義務). Returns are submitted electronically through the 政府統計オンライン調査システム, typically by uploading a CSV or completing a prescribed electronic form. What is reported, the period, and the deadline are survey-specific; element/field names below follow the individual survey's questionnaire, not a single verbatim schema.

When this applies

A business is selected (抽出) for a designated survey — e.g. 経済構造実態調査, 工業統計調査 / 経済センサス‑活動調査, 商業動態統計調査, 毎月勤労統計調査, 法人企業統計調査.
The survey is a 基幹統計調査 with a statutory 報告義務, or a 一般統計調査 where electronic response via e-Stat is offered.
The establishment received an オンライン調査用ID / パスワード (or 調査対象者ID) for the online survey system for that survey round.

Structure (survey questionnaire → e-Stat return)

Identification     調査対象者ID, establishment/enterprise name, 所在地,
                   (法人番号 where requested), survey round / reference period
Classification     industry code (日本標準産業分類 JSIC), organisation type
Quantitative items employment (常用雇用者数), sales/売上高, 製造品出荷額,
                   inventory, 設備投資, value added — per the survey's item list
Period/unit        monthly / quarterly / annual; amounts in 千円 (thousands of yen)
                   or 円 per the form's stated unit
Notes              摘要 / 備考 for non-standard values, estimates, zero returns

Data rules

Identifiers: the establishment is keyed by the survey-issued 調査対象者ID; some surveys also collect the 法人番号 (13-digit corporate number). Use the 日本標準産業分類 (JSIC) code where the survey requires industry classification.
Units matter: many economic surveys report monetary amounts in 千円 (thousands of yen) — read each item's stated unit and round to whole units of that unit (no decimals for JPY-based figures).
Coverage / boundary: report for the establishment or enterprise exactly as the survey defines the unit (事業所 vs 企業); match the survey's reference period (報告対象期間) precisely.
Internal consistency: totals must equal the sum of their components (e.g. 売上高 by segment), and cross-item checks built into the questionnaire (e.g. employees ≥ 0, output ≥ shipments relationships) must pass.
Zero / not-applicable items follow the survey's convention (report 0 vs blank); file a nil return if required even when there is no activity.
The CSV layout (column order, codes, header) must match the survey-specific template distributed for that round.
