Then, in step 2, the code of the worker 2 who performs the receiving process is input.

Subsequently, in step 3, it is determined whether or not the receiving process selected in step 1 has been completed. When it is determined that the receiving process has been completed, the process returns to step 1 to perform the next receiving process, and the process is completed. If it is determined that the product code 50 is not present, the process proceeds to step 4 to determine whether or not the commodity code 50 is attached to the received package 5.

When it is determined that the commodity code 50 is affixed to the received package 5 by this determination processing, the process proceeds to step 5 where the commodity code 50 is read. On the other hand, when it is determined that the product code 50 is not attached, the product name of the received product is obtained from the worker 2, and the obtained product name is used as a key to store the product name on the day.
A corresponding product code is obtained by searching (not shown in FIG. 7B but the product name is also registered), and in step 7, the barcode label of the product code is printed using the portable printer 4. Then, the worker 2 is instructed to attach it to the package 5. If a master file for managing the correspondence between the product name and the product code is prepared, the product file corresponding to the product name may be searched by searching the master file.

Subsequently, in step 8, using the read product code 50 as a search key, a search is performed to determine whether or not the received product is registered in the scheduled delivery data DB 102 on the day. Subsequently, in step 9, it is determined whether the search result indicates that the search is to be received,
If it is determined that the item is not scheduled to be received, the process proceeds to step 10 and returns to step 4 in order to cancel the arrival and start processing for the next product.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 9 that the items to be received have been received, the process proceeds to step 11, where the number of received packages 5 is inspected. Subsequently, in step 12, it is determined whether or not the inspected number of arrivals matches the expected number of arrivals. If it is determined that they do not match, the process proceeds to step 13, where the number of arrivals is corrected.

In response to this instruction, the portable terminal 3 switches to FIG.
When the warehousing process by the portable terminal 3 is completed, subsequently, in step 3, the warehousing result data is created and is stored in the warehousing result data DB 104 (from now on, the stock data DB 100). To be constructed), and the processing ends.

The portable terminal 3 uses the inventory management program 1
Upon receipt of an instruction for the warehousing process from the warehousing process 1, first, as shown in the process flow of FIG. Select an action, then step 2
Then, the code of the worker 2 who performs the storage processing is input.

Subsequently, in step 3, it is determined whether or not the warehousing work has been completed. When it is determined that the warehousing work has been completed, the process returns to step 1 to perform the next warehousing process, and determines that it has not been completed. If so, the process proceeds to step 4 to read the package number 51 affixed to the package 5 to be subjected to the warehousing process.

Subsequently, in step 5, the received packing data number DB10 on the day is set using the read packing number 51 as a search key.
By searching 3 (to which the location number is assigned), the storage location number (address information of the storage location) of the package 5 to which the package number 51 is to be attached is obtained.

After moving to the storage location indicated by the designated storage destination location number in accordance with the operation of the operator 2, subsequently, in step 6, the location number recorded in the storage location is read. Then, Step 7
Then, it is determined whether or not the location number of the storage location matches the location number specified by the package number 51 affixed to the package 5, and when it is determined that they do not match, the process proceeds to step 8. Then, it instructs the worker 2 to confirm the storage destination location number, and then returns to step 6.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the location number of the storage location and the location number designated by the package number 51 affixed to the package 5 match, the process proceeds to step 9 and the package is stored in the storage location. After the storage is confirmed by instructing that the figure 5 be stored, the process returns to step 3.

In this way, the worker 2 obtains the location number of the storage destination by reading the package number 51 affixed to the received package 5 and places the received package 5 at the location number. It is processed so that it is stocked in.

FIG. 15 shows an embodiment of a processing flow executed by the inventory management program 11 at the time of shipping, and FIGS. 16 and 17.
Next, an embodiment of a processing flow executed by the mobile terminal 3 at the time of shipment is shown. Next, the processing executed at the time of shipment according to this processing flow will be described in detail.

When the inventory management program 11 is started in response to the issuance of the shipping processing request, as shown in the processing flow of FIG. 15, first, in step 1, it receives the shipping schedule data from the shipping destination. Then, it is stored in the shipping schedule data DB 105. Subsequently, in step 2, the inventory data DB 10
By referring to 0, it is determined which goods 5 are used to ship the goods.

Subsequently, in step 3, the shipping schedule data D
By extracting data to be shipped on the day from B105 (extracting by supplier / flight as a unit of delivery), a data to be shipped on the day is created. Subsequently, in step 4, the portable terminal 3 is instructed to perform a shipping process while notifying the created same-day shipping schedule data.

In response to this instruction, the portable terminal 3 switches to FIG.
Since the shipping process is executed in accordance with the processing flow of FIG. 17, when the shipping process by the mobile terminal 3 is completed, subsequently, in step S5, the finalized data of the picking of the shipment is created and stored in the finalized picking data DB 107. Then, the process ends.

At this time, as described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, when the package 5 is shipped, the inventory management program 11 has a package number 51 having a package number 51 attached to the shipped package 5. By deleting the number, the package 5 is managed so as not to be in stock, and when the product 6 is taken out from the package 5 and shipped, the package number 51 attached to the shipped package 5. By deleting the packaged product numbers corresponding to the number of shipments from the packaged product numbers having the above, a process of managing the remaining products 6 stored in the package 5 as if they are in stock is performed.

The portable terminal 3 uses the inventory management program 1
16 and FIG.
As shown in the processing flow of FIG.
Then, by interacting with the worker 2, a picking process (a process of selecting a necessary amount of the necessary products from the stocked products) from a picking process menu that must be processed on the day is selected, Subsequently, in step 2, the code of the worker 2 who performs the picking process is input.

Subsequently, in step 3, it is determined whether or not the picking process (shipping process) selected in step 1 has been completed. When it is determined that the picking process has been completed, the process proceeds to step 1 to perform the next picking process. Returning to step S4, when it is determined that the process is not completed, the process proceeds to step S4, and a list of the work status of the picking process is displayed.

Subsequently, in step 5, picking work is selected from the work status list of the picking process and started. Subsequently, in step 6, the name of the shipping destination is obtained from the data to be shipped on the same day, the barcode label of the shipping destination is printed using the portable printer 4, and is used by instructing the worker 2 to use it. At the same time as attaching to the pass box, a bar code label of the pass box number is printed, and when instructed to the operator 2, it is attached to the pass box to be used.

Subsequently, in step 7, it is determined whether or not the picking operation started has been completed. When it is determined that the picking operation has been completed, the process returns to step 3, and when it is determined that the picking operation has not been completed, step 8 is performed. To the picking instruction information (location number /
(Product name / Product code / Packing number / Shipping number) is displayed.

Subsequently, in step 9, the package number 51 of the package 5 stored in the storage location of the location number designated by the picking instruction information is read, and in step 10, the package to be read is read. If the number 51 does not exist, the process returns to step 8 to proceed to the processing of the next package 5.

On the other hand, if the package 5 stored in the storage location of the location number specified by the picking instruction information is confirmed in step 10, the process proceeds to step 11 to determine whether the package instruction is a shipping instruction in the form of package 5. Judgment of whether or not, packing 5

FIG. 20 shows an embodiment of a processing flow executed by the inventory management program 11 at the time of stocktaking, and FIG. 21 shows an embodiment of a processing flow executed at the time of stocktaking by the portable terminal 3. Next, according to this processing flow, processing executed at the time of stocktaking will be described in detail.

When the inventory management program 11 is started in response to the issuance of the inventory processing request, as shown in the processing flow of FIG. 20, first, in step 1, the freezing flag of the inventory data DB 100 is turned on. Freeze current inventory data by doing so.

Subsequently, in step 2, inventory information is extracted. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the first-in first-out inventory management is used and that when the package 5 arrives, the package number 51 is assigned so that the package number 51 becomes larger. Since the form 5 becomes the package number 51 having the minimum value, in this step 2, the package number 51 having the minimum value is extracted for each location number / product code.

Then, in step 3, the portable terminal 3 is instructed to perform an inventory process while notifying the extracted inventory information.

In response to this instruction, portable terminal 3 switches to FIG.
When the inventory processing by the portable terminal 3 is completed, subsequently, in step 4, the freezing flag is turned off to release the freezing of the inventory data, and the portable terminal 3 executes the inventory processing. The inventory data DB 100 is updated according to the acquired actual inventory data, and the process ends.

At this time, the inventory management program 11 is attached from the portable terminal 3 to the package number 51 to be attached to the unpacked package 5 and to the product 6 stored in the package 5. As shown in FIG. 5, when the number of the product code 60 is received, the number of package product numbers corresponding to the number is generated in the reverse order to the order of deletion of the package product number used at the time of shipping. By comparing the packaged product number with the packaged product number managed to be in stock, processing is performed so as to perform inventory.

The portable terminal 3 uses the inventory management program 1
When the instruction of the inventory processing is received from the operator 1, as shown in the processing flow of FIG. 21, first, in step 1, the operator 2 interacts with the operator 2 to perform the inventory processing from the inventory processing menu that must be processed. A process is selected, and then, in step 2, the code of the worker 2 who performs the stocktaking process is input.

Subsequently, in step 3, it is determined whether or not the inventory work has been started / finished. When it is determined that the work has been completed, the process returns to step 1 to perform the next inventory processing, and it is determined that the work has been started. If so, the process proceeds to step 4 to input a stocktaking date.

Subsequently, at step 5, a list of the progress of the inventory processing is displayed, and at step 6, a range of the inventory processing to be executed is selected from the list of the progress of the inventory processing. Subsequently, in step 7, it is determined whether or not the confirmation of the quantity has been completed. When it is determined that the confirmation of the quantity has been completed, the process returns to step 3 to determine that the confirmation of the quantity has not been completed. In some cases, the process proceeds to step 8 where the inventory data (location number / minimum package number /
The theoretical package number of the package 5 having the minimum package number is displayed.

Subsequently, in step 9, the package number 51 (minimum package number) of the package 5 whose package has been unpacked is read, and in step 10, the package number 51 to be read is read.
If not, step 8 is executed to proceed to the next process.
Return to

On the other hand, when the package 5 to be subjected to the inventory processing is confirmed in step 10, the process proceeds to step 11, where the commodity code 60 attached to the commodity 6 stored in the package 5 is read (1). The user may input the number (the number may be input afterwards), thereby inputting the number of items 6 (stock number) stored in the package 5.

Subsequently, in step 12, it is determined whether or not there is an error in the number of inventories by inquiring of the inventory management program 11. When it is determined that there is no error, the process proceeds to step 14, where the number of inventories is calculated. When it is determined and the process returns to step 7, when it is determined that there is an error, the process proceeds to step 13 and requests the inventory management program 11 to correct the number of stocks. Then, the process proceeds to step 14.
The number of stocktaking is determined, and the process returns to step S7.

As described above, the inventory management program 11 deployed in the product management apparatus 1 having the present invention is
A process of virtually attaching a unique package item number to each product 6 packed in the received package 5 is performed.

Then, when shipping the package 5, the inventory management program 11 sends the package 5 to the worker 2.
When the package number 51 is notified in response to the instruction, the package having the package number 51 is read as shown in FIG. By deleting the figure product number, the package 5 is managed so as not to be in stock.

When the product 6 is taken out from the package 5 and shipped, the inventory management program 11 informs the worker 2 of the package number 51 attached to the package 5 and the product 6 to be shipped. When the user instructs to read and notify the product code 60 to be attached, and in response to the instruction, the package number 51 and the product code 60 for the number of shipments are notified, as shown in FIG. By deleting the package number corresponding to the number of shipments from the package number having the package number 51, the remaining products 6 stored in the package 5 are managed as if they are in stock.

When inventory control is performed on a first-in first-out basis when inventory is performed, the package with the longest stock period is unpacked, and when inventory control is performed on a first-in, last-out basis, In consideration of the unpacking of packages having a short stock period, the inventory management program 11 provides the worker 2 with a package number 51 to be attached to the unpacked package 5. The user instructs to read and notify the product code 60 affixed to the product 6 stored in the package 5, and in response to the instruction, reads the package number 51 and the product code 60 for the number of storage. Is notified, as shown in FIG. 5, packaged product numbers corresponding to the number of stored products are generated in the reverse order of the packaged product numbers at the time of shipment, and the packaged product numbers and the inventory numbers are stored. Check that there is a packaged product number that is managed Carry out an inventory.

As described above, according to the present invention, the package number 51 is attached to the package 5 to be stocked and managed.
