2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, so-called supply chain management (SCM; supply chain management) has been performed in which electronic commerce such as ordering and ordering of products is carried out between a plurality of companies using the Internet or the like. This makes it possible to manage production, sales, inventory, etc. in a company in an optimal state.

By the way, in the conventional supply chain management system, a method is adopted in which a person involved in the supply chain, which is a distribution channel of goods and information about the goods, manages a unique supplier master or item master. Therefore, there is no association between the masters of each supply chain participant, and the supplier code system and item code system between each supply chain participant are also different. Therefore, for example, if the supplier code system and the company C that are involved in the supply chain have different supplier code systems and item code systems as shown in FIG. When a company (for example, a trading company) is instructed to deliver automobile steel sheets, and a company B (for example, a steel manufacturer) issues a shipping instruction to the company,
When B company issues a shipping instruction to C company, B company involves the work of converting the supplier code and item code of A company into the code of B company system.

Further, as a supply chain management system different from this, a supplier master or an item master relating to the entire supply chain is used by a steel trading company or the like by using a unified code consisting of one kind of supplier code and item code common to the public and private sectors. There is also one that manages all at once.

[0005]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, like the former, the supplier master and the item master are different for each supply chain participant in each node of each supply chain, and the supplier code and the item code are different for each node. If this conversion work occurs, the activities of the supply chain are divided, and there is a problem that the supply chain management cannot be performed efficiently.

Further, in the latter, the supplier master and the item master are collectively managed and the supplier code and the item code are unified, but all the participants who compose a complicated supply chain with one kind of code or It is virtually impossible to manage all items effectively and efficiently, and there is also the problem that in operation, supply chain management cannot flexibly respond to changes in the supply chain structure. It was Furthermore, there was a problem that the company's own item code could not be handled.

An object of the present invention is to have a function of automating the item code conversion work in a supply chain activity, enabling the use of the item code system unique to the supply chain participants, and further, to each supply chain in each node. By managing the master files and item code files of each participant in a distributed manner,

In the above embodiment, in FIGS. 6 to 13, the orderer (consumer) J001 (for example, an automobile manufacturer) gives a delivery instruction to the orderer S001 (for example, a trading company) (an instruction for delivering a steel sheet for automobiles). ), And a shipping instruction (a shipping instruction of the automobile steel sheet) from the orderer S001 (trading company) to the shipping source D001 (for example, a manufacturer). However, in the actual electronic commerce,
The above-mentioned delivery instructions and shipping instructions do not necessarily complete electronic commerce. For example, after the above-mentioned delivery instruction, an ordering instruction may be given to divide the delivery-instructed one (for example, divided into a plurality of dates) for delivery.

6 to 13, the ordering process is similar to the ordering process in FIG. 6 to FIG. 13 by replacing the above "delivery command" with "ordering command". Can be done by.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, as a person involved in the supply chain, in FIG. 6 to FIG. 13, the orderer (consumer) J001 (for example, an automobile manufacturer) instructs the orderer S001 (for example, a trading company) to deliver. A mode has been described in which (the order to deliver the automobile steel sheet) is issued, and the orderer S001 (trading company) issues a shipping instruction (the shipping instruction of the automobile steel sheet) to the shipping source D001 (for example, the manufacturer). , The orderer (consumer) J001 (for example, an automobile manufacturer) makes a parent order to the orderer S001 (for example, a parts manufacturer) (a parent order for automobile parts), and further the orderer S001 (a primary parts manufacturer) ships the order. Ex D0
There is also a case where a sub-order (a sub-order for an automobile part) is placed with 01 (for example, a secondary parts manufacturer).

Such parent order and child order are referred to as "parent order instruction" in place of "delivery instruction" and "child order instruction" in place of "shipment instruction" in FIGS. 6 to 13, respectively. By doing so, the parent order and the child order can be performed by the same processing in FIGS. 6 to 13.

Next, with respect to disclosure of information such as various business data managed by the supply chain management system to persons other than SC participants and non-disclosure to specific SC participants, FIGS. Will be explained.

Conventionally, among persons who are not involved in the supply chain management system, that is, among non-SC persons, for example, each business department corresponds to SC persons, but the head office divisions that are non-SC persons are Although there is a demand for inquiring about the order record information of each business division, there is a disadvantage that it is impossible to inquire as a non-SC participant. Further, in some business data, there is a case where it is not desired to disclose information on a specific SC participant, but there is a risk that the SC data is uniformly disclosed as being the SC participant. In other words, in the supply chain management system, SC participants or non-S
It is desirable to flexibly deal with the disclosure of business data held by the supply chain management system to C-participants.

It is a figure which shows the table 73 which consists of information disclosure parameters,
This inventory disclosure parameter information is stored as an inventory information disclosure parameter file in the computer of the SC participant who has set this inventory disclosure parameter.

FIG. 23 is a table 74 consisting of company / organizational hierarchy information which defines that non-SC participants having a predetermined company / organizational hierarchical relationship with SC participants can know the business information of said SC participants. The company / organization hierarchy information is stored as a company / organization hierarchy information file in a computer of a company or an organization related to the company / organization hierarchy.

FIG. 24 shows SC participants and predetermined companies /
It is a flowchart which shows the information disclosure process with respect to the information disclosure request from the non-SC participant who belongs to the organizational hierarchy.

First, in step 31, the SC participant or non-SC participant inputs an information disclosure request from the information search screen of the display device of the computer. Next, step 3
In FIG. 2, according to the company / organization hierarchy information shown in the table 74 of FIG. 23, even if the SC participant or the non-SC participant is a non-SC participant who corresponds to the information disclosure condition defined in this company / organization hierarchy information. If it is, it is possible to receive the disclosure of the information such as the business data held by the supply chain management system according to the information disclosure conditions in and after step 33. Next, in step 33, the SC participant or the non-SC participant who meets the above-mentioned information disclosure condition sets the target business data, for example, the inventory information as shown in the table 71 in FIG. The data is extracted as data to be disclosed according to the information disclosure condition defined in the basic rule 72. Further, in step 34, as shown in FIG.
The data to be disclosed is further narrowed down and extracted from the data extracted in step 33 according to the information disclosure condition defined in the information disclosure parameter shown in the table 73 of FIG. As a result, in step 35, the extracted data can be displayed on the information search screen.

In the information disclosure process shown in FIG. 24, the case where the information disclosure is possible has been described for the case where all the information disclosure conditions of step 32 to step 34 are satisfied, but the invention is not limited to such a case. One or more information disclosure conditions may be selected and set by a supply chain participant.
