Further, this system is provided with an order processing part 15 equipped with a means 151 for integrating the material orders with the article names of respective order sources while referring to the name collecting master when there is the same article name of the order recipient and a means 152 for dividing the order to the other order recipient while referring to the name collecting master when materials scheduled to order more than a prescribed number is required.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a material integration / split order system and method for integrating orders of a plurality of systems having different material codes or dispersing risks.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, computer systems and electronic data interchange (Electronic Data Interchange) are also used in purchasing materials.
The system has evolved to help with accuracy, labor savings and proper delivery management. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the configuration of a conventional material purchasing system as the first conventional example. In the figure, the establishment A 20a and the establishment B 20b order materials from the suppliers C, D, 32 and E 33. These data are transmitted as 21a and 21b to EDI 912 as a centralized management system and managed. EDI
912, an ordering unit 931 for company C using a line, an ordering unit 932 for company D, an ordering unit 933 for company E using the Internet, and a sorting unit 914 for sorting the ordering relationship among these. .

A system operation at the time of ordering based on this configuration will be described. Although not shown, the A establishment 20a internally has another system such as production management, and the material code system of the A establishment is defined by this. Similarly, the material code system of the establishment B is different from that of the establishment A. As a result of rationalization involving these production, sales, and distribution, each business site was independently performed separately,
The code system is not compatible between offices. In this way, the orders from the business establishments to the business partners C to E are made with their own codes. The EDI 912 as a centralized management system performs ordering and management through the ordering units as needed, but the selection of suppliers is mainly performed by each business establishment. The material code at the time of ordering is determined by the system of the business office,
In consideration of the convenience of the business partner who is the purchaser, there is a case where a contractor product name code provided by the business partner is also described.

As a prior art relating to code conversion, as a second conventional example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-143624 discloses a technique for converting a material code of an orderer presented at the time of receiving an order into a unique product name code of the company. It is shown. However, this prevents careless mistakes and saves time,
There is nothing more than just transcoding. This is a necessary technique because the code presented at the time of receiving the order is the code of the orderer. From a different point of view, it shows that there is a need for a mechanism for conducting transactions with the product name code determined by the orderer from the beginning.

[0005] There is a system that uses code conversion to increase added value in a field completely different from the material system. FIG. 17 shows a third conventional example.
It is a figure showing the concept of the code change of the code conversion system by the middleman in the apparel industry shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 42. In the figure, reference numeral 801 denotes a product code input from an apparel maker, and 802 denotes a VAS unified code taken in by an intermediate VAS company. At this stage 811
Is added as a symbol commonly indicating the following products. On the other hand, retailers added their own codes8
A code of the form 03 is used. Apparel maker is V
By accessing the AS, for example, the sales and sales tendency of all the retailers can be found. Retailers can instantly know, for example, manufacturer inventory by accessing the VAS. However, V for both apparel makers and retailers
Information is exchanged and processed using the AS unified code 811 as a common code. And it is used as a conversion tool for simple searches from one side.

[0006]

The conventional material code system is configured as described above, and since each orderer has constructed a complicated production system, these codes are integrated into one type. However, there has been a problem that order data of a plurality of order sources cannot be integrated. Further, when ordering is performed using the code of the orderer, there is a problem that the code conversion system shown in the second conventional example must be operated for each orderer. Alternatively, a code conversion system in which a retailer and an apparel maker (manufacturer) share sales / manufacturing information by mutually integrating codes is intended to collect information, has different effects, and has a common user at both ends. In order to use the integrated code, it is necessary to operate another type of VAS unified code separately from the unique code.

[0007] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and codes of a plurality of ordering sources are shared by a common business partner,
In other words, the order is converted into a code unique to the contractor, the order is integrated, or a material procurement system and method in which risks are dispersed are obtained.

[0008]

According to a material procurement system according to the present invention, there are a plurality of ordering sources each having a unique material code system. In order to procure necessary materials from suppliers by establishing a name identification master that associates the orderer's product name code and the material code of the orderer that is uniquely provided, refer to the name identification master and procure from multiple order sources as necessary. The required materials are now specified by the contractor product name code.

[0009] Further, at the time of procurement, if there is the same product name of the contractor with reference to the merging master, means for integrating the material order of the product name of each ordering source, and An order processing unit comprising means for dividing the order to another contractor with reference to the name identification master is provided.

[0010] Furthermore, if the supplier does not know the orderer product name code provided by the supplier prior to ordering, the receiver receives a name reference data section for creating reference query data, and receives the supplier product name code provided by the supplier. A name identification master registration unit for registering with the name identification master is provided.

Still further, the name identification inquiry data is transmitted from the terminal to the business partner.

Still further, the receipt of the orderer's product name code is received from the business partner as an inquiry response.

Further, a counting period or the number of times of inquiry is determined for each inquiry, and when the above-mentioned counting period or the number of times of counting becomes equal to or more than a predetermined value, reminder data is transmitted from the terminal to the inquiry destination.

Further, an update period is set in the name identification master, a reference fact is recorded, and if the name identification master is not referenced within the update period, the corresponding data is deleted from the name identification master.

In the method for procuring materials according to the present invention, there are a plurality of ordering sources each having a unique code system. If you set up a name identification master that associates the code with the material code of the ordering source, and procure the required materials from the business partner, collect the steps of referring to the name identification master, and after this, procure from multiple ordering sources as necessary Procurement by the contractor product name code.

Furthermore, if there is the same product name of the contractor by referring to the merging master, a step of integrating the material orders of the merchandise names of the ordering parties, and if a predetermined number or more of materials are required, refer to the merging master. Splitting the order to another contractor.

[0017] Furthermore, if the supplier's own product name code provided by the supplier prior to order placement is unknown, a step of creating name identification reference data, and receiving the supplier's unique product name code independently provided by the supplier and registered in the name identification master And the step of performing.

Furthermore, when a necessary material is procured by providing a delivery date setting rule, a plurality of delivery dates specified within a predetermined period are designated as the earliest delivery date based on the delivery date setting rule.

Further, a delivery place setting master is provided,
When procuring necessary materials, a specified delivery location is specified based on the delivery location master.

[0020]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiment 1 It is effective to unify the material codes. However, if a common code is newly added for the purpose and it is forcibly unified, a great deal of labor and time are required, which is not practical. We want to achieve the same effect as unification with a system that has less burden and less changes. Therefore, we aim to reduce costs by integrating new material orders ordered from multiple business establishments, each with a different code, with large orders and delivery, and integrated acceptance inspection.
Alternatively, a system in which a risk is distributed and a split order is performed will be described. By doing so, for example, it is possible to grasp the usage of a specific item, purchase a strategy from another viewpoint, and grasp statistics. In the past, this was a separate task and was very burdensome. In order to unify the material codes without providing a new unified code, it is preferable to use a unified code for the orderer's product name code which is conventionally provided and uniquely provided by the business partner, which is unique. The reason that such a method has not been seen so far is that it is a code that is set by the business partner and is not intended to be disclosed to the outside. This is also because the orderer had to confirm with the supplier by telephone, facsimile, or a meeting before ordering. In this embodiment, a conversion table (master) for solving this problem and performing integration is generated and prepared, and an integrated order is realized.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a material ordering and management system according to the present embodiment, and FIG.

An e-mail inquiry unit 130b is an EDI / Web reception unit. Reference numeral 15 denotes an order processing unit, which is an important element along with the name identification inquiry / registration processing unit 11 in the present embodiment, and includes therein an integrated order processing unit 151, a distributed order processing unit 152, and a risk distribution unit 153. It has a competitive effect criterion table. This is also actually provided in the EDI 12.

FIGS. 3 and 4 are flowcharts showing the name identification master registration performed electronically by the name identification inquiry / registration processing unit 11 and the order processing performed electronically by the order processing unit 15 in the system of the present embodiment. . FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of transaction data for explaining the operation, FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of data in the name identification master, and FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of name identification inquiry data and name identification reply data. is there. In FIG. 6, reference numeral 251 denotes a code indicating a business establishment such as A71, A81 a business establishment such as B business, 252 a material code used by the business establishment, 253 a company C, a company D, and the like from which the product is purchased. Is a manufacturer type name code, and stores a code provided by the manufacturer. Reference numeral 255 denotes a flag indicating whether or not the name identification master is to be used at the time of ordering. 256 is provided for statistical processing as needed, and is a unified code for statistics and the like. The numbers and meanings in FIGS. 5 and 7 will be described in the description of the operation.

The operation will be described with reference to these figures. First, the operation of creating a name identification master will be described. That is, the data is registered in the name identification master. In FIG. 3, step S3
In step 01 (hereinafter, the description of the steps is omitted), the transaction data 21a and 21b from the establishments such as A and B are collected by the data collection unit 111 in the EDI. These transaction data have the data format shown in FIG. Reference numeral 212 denotes a code indicating the name of the business establishment A as the ordering source, reference numeral 213 denotes a code indicating the name of the supplier to which the order is placed, reference numeral 214 denotes an ordered product name (material) code, reference numeral 215 denotes a product name code (manufacturer type) provided by the supplier independently. Name code) 216 is a unified code assigned for statistical processing and the like. Heretofore, each business establishment has conventionally made an effort to place an order by specifying a material code and a maker model name with respect to, for example, a supplier C for the sake of convenience of a contractor. The processing determination unit 112 performs the processing from S302 to S307.
In S302, the material code 214 is not assigned to the transaction data. The item No. 1 is regarded as temporary purchase and is not registered in S321. In S303, the user goes to see the name identification master. In FIG. Although the maker type name is blank, the exclusion flag 255 is 1 and the maker type name is exempt (S322) in S303. If the non-target flag 255 of the name identification master is blank, that is, a regular ordering material, it is checked in S304 whether the manufacturer type name code 254 has already been registered. If it is not registered in S305 and it is not only in the name identification master, in S306 this is fetched from the contractor product name code existing in the transaction data, and the name identification master registration unit 114 causes the name identification master 115
Register with. If it is a regular order target product and the orderer's product name code is unknown in S304, then it creates name identification inquiry data described later and inquires and outputs it to the corresponding business partner.

When the name identification master 115 is created in this way,
When the computer is started, the EDI performs a material ordering process to a business partner. FIG. 4B is an operation flowchart of the integration / separation order processing. In step S331, the integrated order processing unit 151 counts orders of a plurality of establishments that are put together for a predetermined period from the entry date described in the order data 21a of the establishment A or the like. In step S332, if there is a product name having the same maker model name code 254 with reference to the name identification master, the product name is integrated and output. In FIG. In No. 4, the maker model name JHCD04 of the same customer AAAAA as the other business establishment A (A71) is ordered and output. Such examples are subject to integration. In S333, the distributed processing means 152 determines the distributed order with reference to the risk diversification competitiveness criterion 153 in consideration of the risk of ordering from the same manufacturer and price competition, and if there is another supplier of the same product in S334. If the order is distributed. In FIG.
5 indicates that the same material code 252 is purchased from another business partner in the establishment B (A81). In this way, distributed orders can be made. The business partner does not have to impose the standardization code, only has to use his own manufacturer type name, and there is no burden. On the other hand, the ordering party can use the existing manufacturer type name to integrate and purchase in bulk instead of using a new standardized code in principle. In other words, price reduction can be expected, the total usage across multiple business establishments can be grasped, an effective purchasing strategy can be established, and usage management and statistical processing can be facilitated.

Next, the operation of a name identification inquiry for replenishing the missing data of the name identification master will be described. Name identification master 115
Are missing because the manufacturer name code 254 is unknown and the non-target flag 255 is blank
Make a continuous order. Therefore, a manufacturer type name is urgently needed. This is known in S304 and S307 in FIG. 3 described above, and the name identification query data creation unit 113 executes in S311 in FIG.
The name identification inquiry data 116 of (a) is generated. In the name identification inquiry data 116, the orderer code 262 is the code of the management department that manages the name identification master, and an answer is received from the management department. The contractor code 263 is a business partner, and the orderer product name code 264 is, for example, the establishment code 266 of the establishment A (A71 in this case) that has ordered the order. These data are sent to EDI and Web inquiry unit 1
If it is a terminal from 30a, the corresponding business partner, for example, company C 31, is inquired via a line or via the Internet. FIG. 7 shows that the supplier monitors the EDI and the Web reception unit 130b from the supplier in S313 for the answer of the desired manufacturer type name.
The orderer product name code 27 that was blank in the format of (b)
5 is obtained, the name identification master registration unit 1
In step S314, registration is performed in the same manner as in step S306. Here, the replenishment of the missing data has been described, but an inquiry may be made periodically to update to the latest data.

One of the important elements of this system is the name identification master. Therefore, replenishment of missing data is important. A method of mechanically urging these replenishments will be described. FIG. 8 is an operation flow diagram for urging replenishment of missing data. In the ordering operation flow shown in FIG. 3, those having no orderer product name (manufacturer type name) code are extracted in S307, and name identification data is created in S311 in FIG. 4. S40 in FIG.
1 is the same as S311. In this routine, the number of inquiries is further counted in S402. If it is determined that the number of times of dunning is necessary, unanswered dunning data (list) is generated for the supplier in S403. In S404, ED
I, transmitted from the Web inquiry unit 130a. S40
In step S5, when the response result is received via the EDI and the Web receiving unit 130b, if the information of the missing data is supplemented in step S406, the name identification master is updated in step S412. S4
If the content is unsatisfactory at 06 and there is another business partner with the same product name, the business partner of the corresponding product name may be deleted from the merge master as needed at S407.

Further, a device for maintaining the name identification master and suppressing an increase in the amount of information will be described. That is, a method of mechanically deleting a material that has not been ordered for a long time from the target will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation. FIG. 9 (a)
Is a part of preparation for deletion, and adds a step of recording a reference date in S421 that an order was made with reference to the name identification master even if the name identification master was registered in S305 in FIG. On the other hand, in FIG. 9B, the process of deleting unused items of the name identification master is started for a considerably long time, for example, every six months. The search is started in S431, the item of each product name is scanned, and the latest inquiry date is extracted in S432. S4
The product name that has not been referenced for a long time extracted in S34 is S4
At 37, the inquiry is output again. Then, it is examined manually at a later date, or is separately input after the examination, and is deleted from the name identification master in S436. Thus, an increase in the capacity of the name identification master can be suppressed. The above embodiment has been described as a system. However, even if the system is not configured using such dedicated means, a general-purpose computer is used to provide a name identification master, and the operation flow shown in FIG. Is performed, the same effect can be obtained. Although the ordering source is described as a business establishment, similar effects can be obtained with other companies.

Embodiment 2 In the above embodiment, the basic system has been described. Here, the details of ordering the procured items and the like to further streamline by ordering a large quantity and ordering dispersedly for risk dispersion or ordering to an alternative destination will be described. Although the system configuration diagram in the present embodiment is the same as that of FIG. 1, the order processing unit 15b has several tables and masters as described below, and the number of functions is increased. FIG. 10 is an operation flow diagram in the present embodiment of the distributed order processing means 152b performed by the computer similarly to the integrated order processing means 151b performed by the computer in FIG. The delivery date setting rule table 62 in FIG.
0, the delivery place setting master table 630 in FIG. 13 is a table which is referred to by the integrated order processing means 151b during the operation flow, and is used for the order processing section 15 in the present embodiment.
b. Further, the compatible product table and the priority order table 700 in FIG. 15 are tables that are referenced by the distributed order processing means 152b in the operation flow diagram.
Similarly, it is additionally provided in the order processing unit 15b. In FIG. 12, the delivery date column 621, which is the order source of the delivery date rule, stores the delivery date actually required by the business location, for example, October 15th. In FIG. 13, a delivery location 631 actually required by each business office and a delivery location 632 specified as a system and integrated into a business partner for efficient acceptance inspection are designated and stored as a pair. Have been.

FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining the integrated ordering operation in the present embodiment. FIG. 14A shows the orderer code 6
FIG. 14 shows transaction data in which items 52 through 52 are ordered with different delivery dates 658.
(B) shows that it can be summarized by the operation flow of FIG. The operation of the system according to the present embodiment will be described. The order integration processing means 151b is the same as that in S5 of FIG.
In FIG. 14, transaction data (business establishment / order data) shown in FIG. 11 from each business establishment 110 in FIG. 1 is collected to recognize the delivery date, and each business establishment is collected in the orderer code 652 column, and FIG. ) Create order data. Looking at the transaction data, in the case of the figure, the material code HHCD02 from the business office 108420171 has two different delivery dates, different order units on October 15 and October 10, and another business office 1
Since the same product from 08842172 was ordered on October 12, the order is created by recognizing it.
In step S502, the order integration processing unit 151b refers to the delivery date setting rule table 620 in FIG. 12 in which the delivery dates are combined into the earliest delivery date among the integration targets. In step S503, the delivery date is set to October 10, which is the earliest of the three delivery dates. Set, and Figure 14
The order quantity is summarized as shown in (b). Even when ordering the same material code, if the delivery date is specified to be wider than a predetermined width, for example, one month, S511
Set the delivery date for different zones with.

For the receiving location, a centralized receiving is set separately from the actual location of each business office. Therefore, in S504, referring to the delivery place setting master 630 of FIG. 13, if the delivery place 632 to be notified to the business partner can be delivered to the place of order, the processing goes to S5.
At 12, the delivery place 632 integrated with the contractor is set. If there is an exception for integrated delivery in the office / order data, S5
At 05, the delivery place specified in the order information of the orderer is set as it is. The order processing unit 15b determines in FIG.
The supplier 111111 is selected with reference to the compatible product table 5 and the priority column 720 of the priority table 700. in this case,
2 of compatible manufacturer entered in compatible manufacturer code column 718
22222 is a second priority supplier, and for other items, HHCD03, a compatible manufacturer 222222
Has the second priority, and the compatible manufacturer 333333 has the third priority. Further, the delivery date is confirmed in S521, and if the delivery date of the maker of the first priority is in time, it is selected in S522. If it is not in time, a next-priority maker is selected in S523. The supply capacity is checked in S524, and if supply is possible, it is set in SS525 in SS525. If the supply capacity is exceeded in S524, a next priority manufacturer is selected in S526. Thus, the order processing means 151b and the distributed processing means 15
After the batch ordering by 2b, the batch order data 660 of FIG. 14B is output. Here, an example of alternative selection of a manufacturer according to the priority order has been described.
May be used in combination with a distributed order assuming risk dispersion.

In these embodiments, a case has been described in which, for example, the head office where the EDI is placed performs integrated / distributed ordering. However, a system for collective ordering is provided in another procurement contractor organization, and the procurement contractor is provided. May make a collective order. Furthermore, it has been explained that such another company places an order in advance with a contractor (customer) and that each business establishment (ordering party) places an order with another company using the material code of the company. It is also possible to reversely follow the above system and deliver the previously ordered corresponding article to the business establishment based on the name identification master.

[0032]

As described above, according to the present invention, a merging master in which a supplier's own product name code and an orderer's product name code are associated with each other, and a material order of the same orderer's product name code is integrated based on the master. Provision of means for dividing orders and means of ordering eliminates the burden of code conversion on suppliers, streamlines work after ordering from multiple ordering sources, has a significant effect on shortening time and eliminating work mistakes. . There is no need for the manufacturer of the supplier (contractor) to replace the code with its own code, nor does it need for the orderer to create and add a new standard code. There is no need to match the code with the manufacturer's part code.If any orderer knows the orderer's code at least once, and knows the compatible product code or standard of the compatible manufacturer, it can be used. This has the effect of widening the range of suppliers and has the effect of obtaining economies of scale.
