Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to an inventory management method and an inventory management system, and more particularly, to an inventory management method and an inventory management system for goods owned by a shipping side.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a method of purchasing goods, there are a purchasing method, a digestion purchasing method, a consignment sales contract method, and the like. Here, in the digestion purchase, it is assumed that only the actually sold portion is purchased, and the returned portion is treated as not purchased from the beginning. The consignment contract is a purchase in the form of deposit, not sale, to the retail store, and the retail store is obligated to pay for the price only when it is sold.

[0003] In the purchase method, the ownership of the purchased goods is transferred to the retailer at the purchase stage. On the other hand, in the case of a digestive purchase or consignment contract, the manufacturer has the ownership of the product at the purchase stage. Therefore, in the case of purchase,
The purchased merchandise is the stock of the retail store, but in the case of other purchases, the manufacturer stores the stock at the retail store or the like.

[0004] In general, at a major retail store, a bar code attached to a product is stored in a POS (Point) linked with a register.
of sales) function, and these terminals are connected to a wired network to manage sales by a store controller (computer), and also perform inventory management and order processing. However, the inventory managed by this system is the merchandise purchased at the retail store, and the merchandise purchased by the method such as digestion purchase is managed only for the sales for which the payment obligation is required. Because the manufacturer owns the product,
The reason is that the retailer cannot treat the inventory as if it were purchased by himself. Therefore, in the case of a system such as digestion purchasing, inventory management had to be performed by the manufacturer.

[0005] On the other hand, in the case of purchasing by the purchase method, there is no need for the maker to manage inventory, and the above-mentioned problem in the case of digestion purchasing does not occur. However, a return system is accepted as a trading practice, so even if the purchased products are sold once, if the seasonal products etc. are returned off-season, the purchase price will be borne by the manufacturer. Had to make a downward revision to sales. In addition, in the case of purchase, the ownership of the product is transferred, so if the retail store goes bankrupt, the manufacturer can not give priority to seizing the product and it is difficult to collect the accounts receivable Had become.

[0006] In consideration of the recession typified by the recent bankruptcy of a major retailer, a comparison is made between the purchase method and the digestion purchase method. In the meantime, manufacturers can cultivate sales channels by renting out sales space without opening a new store,
The merchandise can be collected even if it goes bankrupt, and the retailers can avoid the risk of unsold products.

[0007]

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] In the case of adopting the method of digestion purchase or consignment sales contract, in order for the manufacturer to manage the inventory, the person in charge of the manufacturer goes to the retail store and the color and size of the product. For example, it is necessary to obtain sales information and inventory information in detailed divisions, which causes problems such as a shortage of human resources and a delay in obtaining sales information.

In the case of the purchase method, the manufacturer decides the product to be produced at the initiative of the retailer, and there is no need for the manufacturer to grasp market trends. If the system is adopted, the manufacturer must take the lead in determining the price and product line. In particular, with the diversification of consumer needs for products and the tendency for high-mix low-volume production, manufacturers must consider merchandising.

On the other hand, since the retail store records the sales as sales at the time of sale, the bar code attached to the product is
Although it is read by the terminal, it cannot be incorporated into its own inventory management system as described above. Therefore, as for product classification, since it is not entered as inventory, it is handled in data as a group of products entrusted by the manufacturer to sell Was supposed to be.

Therefore, even if the manufacturer obtains information from the retail store for merchandising, it is possible to know the sales trend as a product group at the time of weekly sales total or monthly sales total at the retail store. It was not possible to obtain detailed information such as what color and size of the product was sold for each product from the sales summary data at the retail store.

[0011] For this reason, it is an issue for manufacturers to obtain detailed inventory information of a retail store as quickly as possible, and there is a demand for accurate supply of products with high sales, that is, with remarkable decrease in inventory quantity. Was.

[0012] If the purchased products are managed by a separate POS system or the like, it is necessary to lay a dedicated line such as a network in the store, and the product name and the product name are stored in the store computer of the system. Since it is necessary to input a price or the like, it has not been possible to deal with sales at a plurality of stores or short-term sales at an event hall or the like.

[0013] In addition, even if a sales method such as digestion purchase is adopted, the manufacturer can complete the collection of the money only for two months or three months in accordance with the bill settlement and payment practices like ordinary accounts receivable. Months later, the manufacturer could not immediately recover the money, despite the retailers collecting the money from the buyer.

[0014]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily perform on-time and detailed management of inventory placed in a retail store by a maker, when a method of digestion purchase or consignment sales contract is adopted. It is an object of the present invention to provide an inventory management method and an inventory management system that can be used.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a mechanism in which a manufacturer can quickly collect the price of a product in accordance with sales at a retail store when a method such as digestion purchase is adopted.

Next, in the information processing step on the server device 1 side, the processing means 11 receives the delivery management barcode information transmitted from the barcode terminal device 2 on the receiving side via the communication means 13 ( S3). That is, processing means 1
1 implements a receiving information receiving means based on a program process. Then, the storage information storage means 124
Stores the received delivery management barcode information as warehousing information.

Subsequently, the processing means 11 acquires the delivery management barcode information from the storage information storage means 124 and refers to the correspondence information acquired from the correspondence information storage means 127 to correspond to the delivery management barcode. The product and its number are determined (S4). Then, the processing means 11 adds the product to the stock quantity of the corresponding product in the stock database according to the product and the quantity (S5), and ends the updating process.

As described above, by using the delivery management barcode information obtained in the outgoing information processing step in the incoming information processing step, the retailer who has received the goods can check all of the goods placed in the packing unit. Since there is no need to acquire the barcode information, the trouble required for inventory management can be minimized to acquire and transmit the delivery management barcode.

In the above-described embodiment, the packing unit is identified by using the bar code reading means 25 of the receiving bar code terminal device 2 and the bar code reading means 35 of the shipping bar code terminal device 3. Delivery management barcode information was adopted as the identifying information. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, input means 24 provided in
In order to identify a packing unit by using 34, a serial number or a delivery management code unique to each packing unit may be adopted as information for identifying the packing unit.

The delivery management barcode information of the packing unit thus obtained is acquired from the delivery information storage unit 125. Then, the comparison means 14 checks the delivery management barcode information. If the comparing means 14 determines that they match, the processing means 11 reads the delivery management barcode information transmitted from the receiving side from the predetermined area of the storage means 12 described above, and stores the storage information. The means 124 stores the delivery management barcode information. If the comparing means 14 determines that they do not match, the processing means 11 creates an e-mail notifying that the collation results do not match. On the other hand, the processing unit 11 transfers the delivery management barcode information to the warehousing information storage unit 124. In the case of delivery, additional information indicating that the information is related to provisional storage may be added, and the handling may be different from the case where no problem occurs in delivery.

Next, FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing a sales information processing step in the case where the sales of goods purchased and purchased from the manufacturer are determined at the retail store. Hereinafter, the sales information processing step will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 4.

In general, when a customer brings a product that he / she wants to purchase to a checkout counter, the retailer pays for the product. Usually, a price and a bar code are added to a product tag attached to the product. Is printed, and this barcode needs to be read by a terminal having a POS function.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, two identical barcodes are printed on the product tag, and one of the printed portions can be cut off. As a result, even if the portion where the barcode is printed is separated from the product tag, sales processing can be performed by the POS system of the retail store as it is. Then, the barcode terminal device 2 acquires the barcode information of the part separated from the product tag of the product whose sales have been determined (S11). If only one barcode is printed on the product tag, the barcode is removed from the product after the POS processing, or at least the barcode portion is separated from the product tag and collected. By collecting the tags, the barcode information can be collectively acquired, so that the burden on the retail store is reduced.

Thereafter, the bar code terminal device 2 may transmit the bar code terminal device 2 in real time each time the sales are made. Storage means 22
