Next, a process from ordering a product by the customer side CS 111 to delivery of the product will be described with reference to a time chart of FIG. -Order of goods (S201 to S205) The customer who wants to order goods displays the order screen 403 on the display of the customer-side computer system 111 in which the sales manager provides supply goods information on the Web (S203) (S201). ), Select a product on the same screen (S20)
5).

At this time, the "scheduled delivery date" closest to the order date is automatically entered in the delivery date input field (601 in FIG. 6) of the order screen 403. It is also possible to enter. Here, when the late date is input, the scheduled delivery date immediately before the input date is set and displayed. On the other hand, an item with a delivery date (early date) other than the regular delivery date is set as "urgent delivery" and a delivery fee is charged. For other items, no delivery fee is charged as “scheduled delivery”.

For example, when the customer selects a product of the supplier (A), confirms the contents of the order, and presses the send button (or performs an equivalent operation), the computer system 100 on the sales responsible company side supplies the product. The transmission mail is sent to the company (A) computer system 121 and the delivery company side computer system 130. This email contains (customer number,
Order date, customer order serial number, manufacturer number, product number, etc.)
The order number combined with is attached.

The order processing of the computer system of the sales responsible company (S207) The computer system 100 of the sales responsible company, which has received the transmission mail from the customer computer system 111,
Sales DB 103, customer order DB 10 based on order number
5 and the supplier order DB 107 are updated (or created). When the computer system 100 on the sales responsible company side inputs the password, the customer ordering DB 105 can be browsed on the Web for each customer and each ordering department. On the screen, the order receiving process of the supplier and the delivery process of the delivery company are displayed in the status column of each ordered product. Supplier order DB
107 can be browsed by inputting the password from the supplier (A) computer system 121. Order processing of supplier computer system (S209-
S213) At the time when the "order mailer" is activated, if there is an order receipt mail for the company's products from the customer (the above-mentioned transmission mail),
A screen (not shown) for confirming the stock amount of the ordered product and the delivery date appears on the display of the supplier (A) computer system 121 (S209). Here, in the case of regular delivery (delivery date = regular delivery date), the operator confirms that there is no inconsistency in the quantity from the stock amount,
Enter Y. In the case of urgent delivery (delivery date / scheduled delivery date), check the delivery date according to the quantity of stock and enter Y in the confirmation column. The processing when there is an inconsistency will be described later in detail.

When the above input operation is completed,
The order is completed. When the mailer ends, an “Order Confirmation E-mail” is sent to the computer system 100 on the sales responsible company side for the items for which Y was entered in the confirmation column (S21).
1) The date and time are entered in the order confirmation column of the sales DB 103 of the computer system 100 on the sales responsible company side.
The information is stored in the customer order DB 105 and the supplier order DB 107
(S213).

Supply company → shipping company's shipping processing (S215 to S215)
S223) First, the case of emergency delivery (delivery date ≠ periodical delivery date) will be described. The person in charge of the supplier (A) starts the “shipping program” from the supplier (A) computer system at the company's shortest regular delivery date and time (for example, 10:00 every day),
Execute urgent delivery processing (eg, push the “urgent delivery button”). The dispatch program lists the urgent dispatch items up to that point and prints out the list of dispatch items (S215). At this time, if necessary, data can be transferred to a delivery system unique to the supplier.

The computer system 10 on the sales responsible company side at the time when the program is terminated or when the process for regular delivery is executed (for example, by pushing a “regular delivery button”).
In the case of “0”, a notice of dispatched goods (in this case, “urgent delivery processing information”) is sent by e-mail or the like (S217), and the computer system 100 on the sales responsible company side displays “Supplier (A) emergency dispatch + Display "delivery date" information. On the other hand, the delivery company computer system 130 includes:
A shipping notice (in this case, “delivery processing information”) is sent by e-mail as scheduled arrival information (S219). The delivery company performs the subsequent processing using its own delivery system. The supplier (A) sorts and packs the products for each customer according to the above-mentioned shipment item list, pastes a shipping tag (delivery destination = delivery destination customer name) specified by the delivery company (S221), and collects all customers. It is sent to the delivery company (S223).

Next, the case of regular delivery (delivery date = regular delivery date) will be described. The person in charge of the supplier (A) starts a “shipping program” from the computer system of the supplier (A) on the company's regular delivery date / time (for example, every Friday at 10:00) and executes the process for regular delivery. (E.g., push the "Regular delivery button"). The shipping program lists the regular shipping items up to that point and prints out the list as a shipping item list (S215). At this time, if necessary, data can be transferred to a delivery system unique to the supplier.

When the program is terminated or the emergency delivery processing is executed (for example, by pushing an "urgent delivery button"), the computer system 10 on the sales responsible company side
In the case of “0”, a notice of dispatched goods (in this case, “emergency delivery processing information”) is sent by e-mail or the like (S217). Day "information.
On the other hand, a shipping notice (in this case, “delivery processing information”) is sent to the delivery company computer system 130 by e-mail as arrival schedule information (S219). The delivery company performs the subsequent processing using its own delivery system. The supplier (A) sorts and packs the products for each customer according to the above-mentioned shipment item list, pastes a delivery tag (delivery destination = delivery destination customer name) specified by the delivery company (S221), and collects all customers. It is sent to the delivery company (S223).

Delivery processing by the delivery company (S225 to S2)
35) In the delivery company, the goods sent from each of the supply companies (A to D) are journalized (collectively for each customer) in the same manner as the delivery company's normal delivery products (S225). Delivery is performed in a normal manner or at a specific interval (for example, every five times) (S227). After the ordered goods have been delivered (S229), the delivery company computer system 130 that has confirmed the receipt stamp or signature of the receipt in S231, lists the items of the shipping tag (described in the special contract) attached by the supplier (A). And sends it to the sales responsible company side computer system 100 by e-mail or the like as a delivery completion list (S
233). The computer system 100 on the sales responsible company side automatically inputs and displays the information “delivery completed + delivery date” in the status column of each database by receiving the electronic mail or the like (S235). If the “regular delivery flight from the supplier” is behind the “regular delivery flight from the delivery company”, the delivery is performed according to the “regular delivery flight from the supplier”. If this ratio is high, it is not possible to reduce the number of deliveries by providing a regular delivery date, so it is preferable that the allowable amount be determined in advance between each supplier and the delivery company. Delivery company 311 from D307
(Or S225 in FIG. 2) of the merchandise dispatching process (S225 in FIG. 2) of the shipping tag (here, the product number + the name of the customer to which the product is delivered) attached to each product. This will be described with reference to an information transition diagram (FIG. 3). The shipping information 331 is a combination of ordered items sent from the supplier A301 to the delivery company 311 represented by items described in the shipping tag. Each shipping tag contains (item number A111
+ Customer E), (product number A112 + customer F), and (product number A113 + customer G).

Each shipping tag describes (product number B111 + customer G), (product number B112 + customer F), and (product number B113 + customer F). The shipping information 335 is a combination of ordered items sent from the supplier C 305 to the shipping company 311 represented by items described in the shipping tag. Each shipping tag describes (product number C111 + customer E), (product number C112 + customer E), and (product number C113 + customer F).

The combination of ordered products sent from the supplier D 307 to the delivery company 311 is represented by the item described in the shipping tag, which is the shipping information 337. Each shipping tag describes (product number D111 + customer G), (product number D112 + customer G), and (product number D113 + customer F). The delivery company 311 that has received the ordered goods to which the shipping tags are attached performs journalizing of the ordered goods for each customer (customer E321 to customer G325). The delivery information 341 to 345 represent the combination of the ordered products after the journalization by using the items described in the shipping tag.

The delivery information 341 shows items described in a shipping tag attached to each ordered product (product number A111, product number C111, product number C112) to be delivered from the delivery company 311 to the customer E321. The delivery information 343 includes each ordered product (product number A112, product number B112, product number B1) delivered from the delivery company 311 to the customer F323.

The ordered products are all displayed on the order screen 403, and the order contents such as the total amount (for example, the total amount for each customer / ordering department) are also displayed. As the product unit price (unit price 603) displayed on the order screen 403, a different unit price may be used for each password authenticated when the screen is activated. By managing the product unit price for each password, it is possible to differentiate customer services according to the number of orders, the order amount, and the like. In addition, the payment condition selection button 703 provided on the upper right of the product group screen 405 and the detailed product information screen 407
The selection information (801 in FIG. 8) can be used as a determinant of the product unit price 705.

<Confirmation of Customer Order Information> The customer can confirm the order information of each supplier that provides the products ordered by the customer by entering a password. FIG. 9 shows a supplier order screen for a customer (in this case, Akebono Manufacturing Co., Ltd.) to confirm ordering information with a supplier (in this case, Safety Corporation). 903 is the product that has been sent to the delivery company, 9
Reference numeral 05 denotes a product waiting to be shipped, and reference numeral 907 denotes a product for which order information has just arrived and has not been confirmed.

<Order Change by Customer> (i) When increasing the quantity of ordered products, a new order process is performed. (Ii) Quantity reduction / cancellation of ordered products Supplier's computer system (In Fig. 1, the supplier's CS
121 to 127) to the computer system (100 in FIG. 1) on the sales responsible company side to send a shipping notification (e-mail indicating “supplier shipping + delivery date” in the status column of the target product (ordered product)). The customer's computer system (the customer's CS 111-115 in FIG. 1) switches from the supplier's computer system (the supplier's CS 121-12).
It can be done freely by placing a minus order in 7).

After sending the order notification, a minus order cannot be placed in principle. In that case, after the ordered product is delivered to the customer, the customer contacts the sales responsible company,

1 to 127), the "collection information" is issued to the delivery company computer system (130 in FIG. 1), and at the same time, the "collection delivery slip" is printed out. The customer entrusts the delivery person of the shipping company to pick up the ordered product with the “collection delivery slip” attached. A penalty (such as a cancellation fee including shipping costs) will be incurred for picking up ordered items that have already been delivered. However, by making the points assigned to each customer compatible with the total penalty according to the total order value, the sales responsible company will not charge the penalty based on the number of accumulated points or only charge a part of the penalty And It is clear that the above points are compatible with services other than the penalty.

<Order Mismatch Processing> (i) Order Quantity (N)> Inventory Quantity Secured by Supplier (M) In this system in which real-time inventory check cannot be performed, the above-mentioned state is avoided because a sales opportunity is not missed. Then, the stock (M) is sent from the supplier to the delivery company. Then,
The computer system 100 of the sales responsible company remains (N-
M) "Inconsistent mail" specifying the shipping date (or product alternative) is sent to the customer computer system (customer CS
