Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、商品の注文情報を通信回線を介して受注し、受注商品に在庫等の商品を引き当てることができるか否かを判断する商品管理システム及びその方法に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、この種の技術としては、例えば特許文献１に開示されている商品管理の情報提供及び商品受注システムがある。
この技術は、顧客端末である営業所の電話を電話回線を介して工場のコンピュータに接続し、電話のボタン操作で、商品，希望数量，希望納期などを注文情報として工場のコンピュータに送る。すると、工場のコンピュータが当該商品の在庫数量を倉庫である冷蔵庫に問い合わせ、希望数量に相当する数量の商品在庫があるか否かを確認する。そして、希望数量の商品在庫がある場合には希望数量の商品を冷蔵庫から取り出して、営業所に配送する。また、希望数量の商品在庫がない場合には、営業所からの注文を受注しないようになっている。
【０００３】
【特許文献１】
特開平０７−１６０７８２号公報
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、上記した従来の技術では、顧客である営業所からの注文があった商品の引当を行う上で、倉庫内に現存する在庫数量の商品を引き当て、在庫数量が不足する場合には、注文を受けない構成であるので、商品引当効率が悪い。
すなわち、この技術を用いると、当該商品の不足分が、顧客からの注文後に生産されて入庫され、希望納期までに配送することができる可能性があるにも拘わらず、注文時に在庫が足りないことを理由に一律に受注を断らなければならないので、引当効率が悪く、この結果、受注量が減少し、販売利益が上がらないおそれがある。
【０００５】
この発明は上述した課題を解決するためになされたもので、在庫数量だけでなく、入庫予定商品の数量をも考慮して、商品引当を行うことで、引当効率を高め、もって、受注量の増加と販売促進とを図る商品管理システム及びその方法を提供することを目的とするものである。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために、請求項１の発明に係る商品管理システムは、商品の入庫予定時期と入庫予定数量とを示す入庫予定情報を保存及び更新する入庫管理手段と、商品の在庫数量を示す在庫情報を保存及び更新する在庫管理手段と、希望商品に関して少なくとも希望納期と希望数量とを示す注文情報を、端末から通信回線を通じて受ける受注手段と、入庫管理手段の入庫予定情報が示す入庫予定時期と入庫予定数量とに基づいて、受注手段からの注文情報が示す希望納期以内の所定時期迄に入庫予定の商品総数量を求め、当該商品総数量を注文情報の希望数量に引き当てる入庫引当手段と、入庫引当手段において、商品総数量を希望数量に引き当てた際、希望数量に対して商品総数量が不足した場合に、在庫管理手段の在庫情報が示す在庫数量を当該不足分の数量に引き当てる在庫引当手段とを具備する構成とした。
かかる構成により、希望商品に関する注文情報が受信手段によって受けられると、入庫引当手段によって、入庫予定情報が示す入庫予定時期と入庫予定数量とに基づいて、注文情報が示す希望納期以内の所定時期迄に入庫予定がある商品の総数量が求められ、当該商品総数量が注文情報の希望数量に引き当てられる。そして、この商品総数量を希望数量に引き当てた際、希望数量に対して商品総数量が不足した場合には、在庫引当手段によって、在庫情報が示す在庫数量が当該不足分の数量に引き当てられる。
【０００７】
特に、請求項２の発明は、請求項１に記載の商品管理システムにおいて、入庫引当手段で設定される所定時期は、商品の出荷所要期間及び配送所要期間等の必要期間を希望納期から差し引いて求めた時期である構成とした。
かかる構成により、入庫引当手段において、所定時期が、商品の出荷所要期間及び配送所要期間等の必要期間を希望納期から差し引くことにより求められる。
【０００８】
また、請求項３の発明に係る商品管理システムは、商品の在庫数量を示す在庫情報を保存及び更新する在庫管理手段と、商品の入庫予定時期と入庫予定数量とを示す入庫予定情報を保存及び更新する入庫管理手段と、希望商品に関して少なくとも希望納期と希望数量とを示す注文情報を、端末から通信回線を通じて受ける受注手段と、在庫管理手段の在庫情報が示す在庫数量を、受注手段からの注文情報が示す希望数量に引き当てる在庫引当手段と、在庫引当手段において、在庫数量を希望数量に引き当てた際、希望数量に対して在庫数量が不足した場合に、入庫管理手段の入庫予定情報が示す入庫予定時期と入庫予定数量とに基づいて、注文情報が示す希望納期以内の所定時期迄に入庫予定の商品総数量を求め、当該商品総数量を不足分の数量に引き当てる入庫引当手段とを具備する構成とした。
かかる構成により、希望商品に関する注文情報が受信手段によって受けられると、在庫引当手段によって、在庫情報が示す在庫数量が、注文情報が示す希望数量に引き当てられる。そして、この在庫数量を希望数量に引き当てた際、希望数量に対して在庫数量が不足した場合には、入庫引当手段によって、入庫予定情報が示す入庫予定時期と入庫予定数量とに基づいて、注文情報が示す希望納期以内の所定時期迄に入庫予定がある商品総数量が求められ、当該商品総数量が不足分の数量に引き当てられる。
【０００９】
特に、請求項４の発明は、請求項３に記載の商品管理システムにおいて、入庫引当手段で設定される所定時期は、商品の出荷所要期間及び配送所要期間等の必要期間を希望納期から差し引いて求めた時期である構成とした。
【００１０】
ところで、商品管理システムの実行方法も、新規な方法の発明として成立する。そこで、請求項５の発明に係る商品管理方法は、希望商品に関して少なくとも希望納期と希望数量とを示す注文情報を、端末から通信回線を通じて受ける受注過程と、希望商品に関する入庫予定情報が示す入庫予定時期と入庫予定数量とに基づいて、受注過程で受けた注文情報が示す希望納期以内の所定時期迄に入庫予定の商品総数量を求め、当該商品総数量を注文情報の希望数量に引き当てる入庫引当過程と、入庫引当過程において、商品総数量を希望数量に引き当てた際、希望数量に対して商品総数量が不足した場合に、希望商品に関する在庫情報が示す在庫数量を当該不足分の数量に引き当てる在庫引当過程とを具備する構成とした。
【００１１】
特に、請求項６の発明は、請求項５に記載の商品管理方法において、入庫引当過程は、希望商品の出荷所要期間及び配送所要期間等の必要期間を希望納期から差し引いて、所定時期を設定するものである構成とした。
【００１２】
また、請求項７の発明に係る商品管理方法は、希望商品に関して少なくとも希望納期と希望数量とを示す注文情報を、端末から通信回線を通じて受ける受注過程と、希望商品に関する在庫情報が示す在庫数量を、受注過程で受けた注文情報が示す希望数量に引き当てる在庫引当過程と、在庫引当過程において、在庫数量を希望数量に引き当てた際、希望数量に対して在庫数量が不足した場合に、希望商品に関する入庫予定情報が示す入庫予定時期と入庫予定数量とに基づいて、注文情報が示す希望納期以内の所定時期迄に入庫予定の商品総数量を求め、当該商品総数量を不足分の数量に引き当てる入庫引当過程とを具備する構成とした。
【００１３】
特に、請求項８の発明は、請求項７に記載の商品管理方法において、入庫引当過程は、希望商品の出荷所要期間及び配送所要期間等の必要期間を希望納期から差し引いて、所定時期を設定するものである構成とした。
【００１４】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、この発明の実施の形態について図面を参照して説明する。
（第１実施形態）
図１は、この発明の第１実施形態に係る商品管理システムを示すブロック図である。
図１に示すように、この実施形態の商品管理システム１は、通信回線としてのインタネット１００に接続され、顧客端末１０１からインタネット１００を通じて商品管理システム１に送られてきた注文を受けることができるようになっている。
このような商品管理システム１は、入庫管理手段２と在庫管理手段３と受注手段４と入庫引当手段５と在庫引当手段６と発注手段７とを具備している。
【００１５】
入庫管理手段２は、入庫予定情報Ｆを管理する手段である。
具体的には、入庫管理手段２は、入庫管理部２０と入庫データベース２１とでなり、工場の端末８から送られてくる入庫予定データＦ１を入庫予定情報Ｆとして入庫データベース２１に保存する機能を有している。そして、入庫管理手段２は、新しい入庫予定データＦ１を受け取る都度、入庫予定情報Ｆを更新する。
図２は、入庫予定情報Ｆの一例を示す表図である。
図２に示すように、入庫予定情報Ｆには、各商品（図２では「ａ」）について入庫予定日（入庫予定時間）と入庫予定数量とを示す入庫予定データＦ１が入庫予定日の順に記入され、かかる入庫予定情報Ｆが入庫データベース２１に保存されている。そして、入庫管理部２０が新しい入庫予定データＦ１を受け取る都度、その入庫予定データＦ１を入庫予定情報Ｆの最下位の欄に記入して、入庫予定情報Ｆを更新する。
また、入庫管理部２０は、図１に示すように、発注手段７からの更新指令Ｕ１を受信すると、更新指令Ｕ１が示す入庫予定データＦ１を入庫予定情報Ｆから削除する機能を有している。
【００１６】
在庫管理手段３は、在庫情報Ｐを管理する手段である。
具体的には、在庫管理手段３は、在庫管理部３０と在庫データベース３１とでなり、倉庫の端末９から送られてくる在庫データＰ１を在庫情報Ｐとして在庫データベース３１に保存する機能を有する。そして、在庫管理手段３は、新しい在庫データＰ１を受け取る都度、在庫情報Ｐを更新する。
図３は、在庫情報Ｐの一例を示す表図である。
図３に示すように、在庫情報Ｐには、倉庫に現存する商品の在庫数量が商品の種類毎に記入され、かかる在庫情報Ｐが在庫データベース３１に保存されている。そして、在庫管理部３０が新しい在庫データＰ１を受け取る都度、その在庫データＰ１が示す商品の在庫数量を増減させて、在庫管理部３０内の在庫情報Ｐを更新する。
また、在庫管理部３０は、図１に示すように、発注手段７からの更新指令Ｕ２を受信すると、更新指令Ｕ２が示す引当在庫数量を在庫情報Ｐの在庫数量から差し引く更新をも行う機能も有している。
【００１７】
受注手段４は、顧客端末１０１からインタネット１００を通じて商品管理システム１に送られてきた注文情報Ｒを受信して、入庫引当手段５に転送する手段である。
図４は、注文情報Ｒの一例を示す表図である。
図４に示すように、注文情報Ｒには、注文の日付と、顧客端末１０１の客が注文した各種の商品（図４では「ａ」，「ｂ」）に関する「希望納期」，「希望数量」，「客先及び配送先」が記入されている。
【００１８】
入庫引当手段５は、図１に示すように、入庫データベース２１内の入庫予定情報Ｆが示す入庫予定日と入庫予定数量とに基づいて、受注手段４からの注文情報Ｒが示す希望納期以内の所定時期迄に入庫予定の商品総数量を求め、この商品総数量を注文情報Ｒの希望数量に引き当てる機能を有した手段である。
【００１９】
図５は、入庫引当手段５の機能を示すフローチャート図である。
入庫引当手段５は、注文情報Ｒを受注手段４から受信すると、図５のステップＳ１に示すように、先ず、図示しないタイマで確認した現在の日付と注文情報Ｒが示す希望商品の出荷日数と配送日数との和の日付が注文情報Ｒが示す希望納期以内であるか否かを判断する機能を有する。
ここで、出荷日数とは、希望商品の梱包等に要する日数であり、入庫引当手段５による商品の出荷日数の決定は、図６に示すように、各商品毎の出荷日数を記入した出荷日数テーブルＴ１に基づいて行われる。また、配送先日数とは、希望商品を注文情報Ｒが示す配送先迄配送するために要する日数であり、この配送先日数の決定は、図７に示すように、各配送先毎の配送日数を記入した配送日数テーブルＴ２に基づいて行われる。
【００２０】
入庫引当手段５は、上記の出荷日数と配送日数とに基づき、現在の日付と出荷日数と配送日数との和の日付が希望納期を超えると判断した場合には、同図ステップＳ１のＮＯ及びＳ２に示すように、受注不能通知Ｎ１を顧客端末１０１に送信する。商品の入庫の有無及び在庫の有無に拘わらず、配送が物理的に不可能だからである。
逆に、上記日付が希望納期以内であると判断した場合には、入庫引当手段５は、同図ステップＳ２のＹＥＳ及びＳ３に示すように、引当数量を希望数量に定義した後、入庫予定情報Ｆを入庫管理手段２の入庫データベース２１から読み出し、同図ステップＳ４に示すように、希望納期前に希望商品の入庫予定があるか否かを判断する。
【００２１】
入庫引当手段５は、入庫予定がないと判断した場合には、同図ステップＳ４のＮＯ及びＳ５に示すように、現時点の引当数量を示す引当数量情報Ａを在庫引当手段６に送ることで、以後の処理を在庫引当手段６にまかせる。
逆に、入庫引当手段５は、入庫予定があると判断した場合には、同図ステップＳ４のＹＥＳ及びステップＳ５〜Ｓ９に示すように、希望納期以内の所定時期迄に入庫予定がある商品総数量を引き当てるルーチン処理を行う。
具体的には、同図ステップＳ５及びＳ６に示すように、入庫予定情報Ｆ内の入庫予定データＦ１のうち、最も早い入庫予定日を有する入庫予定データＦ１について、その入庫予定日と出荷日数と配送日数との和の日付が希望納期以前か否かを判断する。
【００２２】
入庫引当手段５は、上記和の日付が希望納期後であると判断した場合には、同図ステップＳ６のＮＯに示すように、現時点での引当数量を示す引当数量情報Ａを在庫引当手段６に送ることで、以後の処理を在庫引当手段６にまかせる。
逆に、入庫引当手段５は、上記和の日付が希望納期以前であると判断した場合には、同図ステップＳ６のＹＥＳ及びステップＳ７に示すように、現時点での引当数量（＝希望数量）が当該入庫予定日の入庫予定数量より多いか否かを判断する。
【００２３】
入庫引当手段５は、当該引当数量が入庫予定数量よりも少ないと判断した場合には、この入庫予定数量で希望数量を充足することができるので、同図ステップＳ７のＮＯ及びＳ１０に示すように、どの入庫予定データＦ１を希望数量に引き当てたかを示す引当情報Ｍ１を発注手段７に送る。
また、入庫引当手段５は、当該引当数量が入庫予定数量以上であると判断した場合には、同図ステップＳ７のＹＥＳ及びステップ８，Ｓ９で示すように、現時点の引当数量から現時点で処理対象になっている入庫予定データＦ１の入庫予定数量を差し引いた残りを次処理の引当数量と定義した後、次の入庫予定日を有する入庫予定データＦ１を処理の対象とする。
すなわち、最初の入庫予定データＦ１の入庫予定数量で引き当てられなかった希望数量の残数に対して、次の入庫予定データＦ１の入庫予定数量を引き当てる処理を行う。
【００２４】
当該入庫予定データＦ１についても、前回の入庫予定データＦ１と同様に同図ステップＳ６の処理によって、その入庫予定日と出荷日数と配送日数との和の日付が希望日付以前かどうかを判断し、希望納期後であると判断した場合は、希望納期迄に配送可能な入庫予定の商品は前回迄に処理された商品であると決定する。そして、現時点での引当数量、すなわち、希望数量から前回迄に引き当てられた入庫予定数量の総数量を差し引いた残数を未引当数量として在庫引当手段６に送ることで、以後の処理を在庫引当手段６にまかせる。
【００２５】
逆に、希望納期以前であると判断した場合には、同図ステップＳ７の処理を行い、現時点での引当数量が当該入庫予定データＦ１が示す入庫予定数量より多いか否かを判断し、引当数量が入庫予定数量より少ないと判断した場合には、同図ステップＳ７のＮＯ及びＳ１０に示すように、現時点迄に引き当てた入庫予定データＦ１を示す引当情報Ｍ１を発注手段７に送る。
また、同図ステップＳ７のＹＥＳで示すように、当該引当数量が入庫予定数量以上であると判断した場合には、同図ステップＳ８，Ｓ９の処理を行い、次の入庫予定データＦ１について同様の処理を繰り返す。
【００２６】
かかる繰返し処理によって、最終的には、同図ステップＳ６のＮＯ又はステップＳ７のＮＯの処理に行き着く。
最終的に同図ステップＳ６のＮＯの処理を行うに至るケースは、入庫予定情報Ｆ内の最初の入庫予定データＦ１から順に入庫予定数量を希望数量に引き当てていったが、引き当てた商品総数量では、希望数量を充足せず、不足分がでたケースである。このため、入庫引当手段５は、この不足分の未引当数量と自己が引き当てた入庫予定データＦ１とを示す引当数量情報Ａを在庫引当手段６に送り、以後の引当処理を在庫引当手段６にまかせるのである。
一方、最終的に同図ステップＳ７のＮＯの処理を行うに至るケースは、順に引き当てた入庫予定数量の総数量で希望数量を充足したケースである。このため、入庫引当手段５は、入庫予定情報Ｆ内の入庫予定データＦ１のうち、どの入庫予定データＦ１を希望数量に引き当てたかを示す引当情報Ｍ１を発注手段７に送って、当該希望商品の発注を指示するのである。
以上から、結果的に、入庫引当手段５は、出荷日数（出荷所要期間）と配送日数（配送所要期間）との和を希望納期から差し引いた最終入庫予定日（所定時期）迄に入庫予定がある商品総数量を、注文情報Ｒが示す希望数量に引き当てる処理を行うことになる。
【００２７】
図１において、在庫引当手段６は、入庫引当手段５により、入庫予定の商品総数量を注文情報Ｒが示す希望数量に引き当てた際、希望数量に対して商品総数量が不足した場合に、在庫管理部３０の在庫データベース３１内の在庫情報Ｐが示す在庫数量を当該不足分の数量に引き当てる手段である。
具体的には、在庫引当手段６は、入庫引当手段５からの引当数量情報Ａを受けると、在庫データベース３１から在庫情報Ｐを読み出し、図５のステップＳ１１に示すように、在庫情報Ｐの在庫データＰ１が示す在庫数量が引当数量情報Ａが示す未引当数量以上か否かを判断する。
在庫引当手段６は、在庫数量が引当数量より少ないと判断した場合には、同図ステップＳ１１のＮＯ及びステップＳ２で示すように、発注不能通知Ｎ１を顧客端末１０１に送信する。
逆に、在庫数量が未引当数量以上であると判断した場合には、上記不足分を当該在庫数量で充足することができるので、同図ステップＳ１１のＹＥＳ及びＳ１２に示すように、在庫で引き当てた数量と入庫引当手段５が既に引き当てた入庫予定データＦ１とを示す引当情報Ｍ２を発注手段７に送るようになっている。
【００２８】
図１に示す発注手段７は、入庫引当手段５からの引当情報Ｍ１に基づいて、入庫引当手段５で処理した入庫予定データＦ１を特定した更新指令Ｕ１を入庫管理部２０に送る機能を有している。また、発注手段７は、在庫引当手段６からの引当情報Ｍ２に基づいて、在庫引当手段６で処理した在庫数量を特定した更新指令Ｕ２と入庫引当手段５が引き当てた入庫予定データＦ１を特定した更新指令Ｕ１とを在庫管理部３０に送る手段である。
さらに、この在庫引当手段６は、引当情報Ｍ１，２に基づいて、注文情報Ｒが示す希望商品の納期等を示す受注通知Ｎ２を顧客端末１０１と図示しない物流センタとに送る機能も有している。
【００２９】
次に、この実施形態の商品管理システム１が示す動作について説明する。
なお、この商品管理システム１における動作は、本発明の商品管理方法を具体的に実行するものでもある。
例えば、図４に示す注文情報Ｒが顧客端末１０１からインタネット１００を介して、商品管理システム１に送られると、この注文情報Ｒが受注手段４によって受信され、入庫引当手段５に転送されることで、受注過程が実行される。
【００３０】
すると、注文情報Ｒが入庫引当手段５に受信され、商品ａ，ｂについて、それぞれ現在の日付と出荷日数と配送日数との和の日付が希望納期以内であるか判断される（図５のステップＳ１）。
現在の日付が１月１日であるとすると、上記和の日付は、商品ａ，ｂ共に「１月１日」＋「１日」＋「３日」＝１月５日である。したがって、商品ａの希望納期は、図４に示すように、１月３１日であるので、上記和の日付は希望納期前となる。この結果、商品ａに関しての引当数量が希望数量「５０個」と定義され、商品ａについての入庫予定の有無判断が行われる。（同図ステップＳ１のＹＥＳ，Ｓ３，Ｓ４）。
一方、商品ｂの希望納期は、１月４日であるので、商品ｂに関する上記和の日付である１月５日は希望納期を超える。したがって、商品ｂについての受注不能通知Ｎ１が入庫引当手段５から顧客端末１０１に送信されることとなる（同図ステップＳ１のＮＯ，Ｓ２）。
【００３１】
入庫引当手段５による入庫予定の有無判断は、入庫管理部２０の入庫データベース２１から入庫予定情報Ｆを読み出して行われる。
図２に示すように、商品ａについては、６つの入庫予定データＦ１があるので、入庫引当手段５によって、入庫予定があると判断され、以後のルーチン処理によって入庫引当過程が実行される（同図ステップＳ４のＹＥＳ）。
【００３２】
すなわち、先ず、入庫予定情報Ｆから最も早い予定日の入庫予定データＦ１（ｎ＝１）が入庫引当手段５に読み取られ、当該入庫予定データＦ１が示す入庫予定日と出荷日数と配送日数との和の日付が希望納期以前か否かが判断される（同図ステップＳ５，Ｓ６）。
当該入庫予定データＦ１（ｎ＝１）に関する上記和の日付は、「１月５日」＋「１日」＋「３日」＝１月９日であるので、希望納期「１月３１日」以前である。この結果、入庫引当手段５において、現時点での引当数量「５０個」が当該入庫予定日「１月５日」の入庫予定数量よりも多いか否かの判断が行われる（同図ステップＳ６のＹＥＳ，Ｓ７）。
当該入庫予定日の入庫予定数量は「１０個」であり、上記引当数量（＝希望数量）の方が多いので、現時点の引当数量「５０個」から入庫数量「１０個」を差し引いた「４０個」が次処理の引当数量として定義される（同図ステップＳ７のＹＥＳ，Ｓ８）。
【００３３】
そして、次に早い入庫予定日「１月１０日」の入庫予定データＦ１（ｎ＝２）が読み出され、上記和の日付が希望納期「１月３１日」以前か否かが判断される（同図ステップＳ９，Ｓ６）。
当該入庫予定データＦ１についての上記和の日付は「１月１４日」であるので、現時点での引当数量「４０個」が当該予定日「１月１０日」の入庫数量よりも多いか否かが判断される（同図ステップＳ６のＹＥＳ，Ｓ７）。
この引当数量は入庫予定数量「１５個」よりも多いので、引当数量「４０個」から入庫数量「１５個」を差し引いた「２５個」が次処理の引当数量として定義される（同図ステップＳ７のＹＥＳ，Ｓ８）。
【００３４】
以後、同様の処理が入庫予定日「１月１５日」，及び「１月２０日」の各入庫予定データＦ１（ｎ＝３，４）について行われる。そして、入庫予定日「１月２０日」の入庫予定データＦ１（ｎ＝４）についての図５のステップＳ８の処理において、次回の引当数量が「０個」となる。したがって、次の入庫予定日「１月２５日」の入庫予定データＦ１（ｎ＝５）においては、同図のステップＳ７の処理時に、引当数量「０個」が入庫予定数「１０個」より小さいと判断され、引当情報Ｍ１が入庫引当手段５から発注手段７に送られる（入庫引当過程の終了）。
このとき、引当情報Ｍ１には、入庫予定日「１月５日」〜「１月２０日」迄の４つの入庫予定データＦ１が注文情報Ｒの希望数量に引き当てられたことが示されている。すなわち、引当情報Ｍ１は、希望数量の全てが４つの入庫予定データＦ１の入庫予定数量の総和によって充足されたことを意味する情報となる。
【００３５】
このような引当情報Ｍ１が発注手段７に送られると、図１に示すように、上記４つの入庫予定データＦ１（ｎ＝１〜４）を特定した更新指令Ｕ１が入庫管理手段２の入庫管理部２０に送られ、これら４つの入庫予定データＦ１が、入庫管理部２０によって、入庫予定情報Ｆから削除されることとなる。この結果、入庫データベース２１内の入庫予定情報Ｆは、入庫予定日「１月２５日」，「１月３０日」の２つの入庫予定データＦ１だけを有した入庫予定情報Ｆとして更新されることとなる。
これと並行して、受注可能通知Ｎ２が顧客端末１０１と図示しない物流センタに送られる。
【００３６】
上記では、希望納期が１ヶ月という長期の注文を受信した場合には、在庫商品を用いることなく、入庫予定の商品で充足することができる例を示したが、次には、希望納期が短期の注文に対する処理の例を説明する。
例えば、図４に示す注文情報Ｒの商品ａについて、その希望納期が「１月１５日」の場合には、図２に示す入庫予定情報Ｆの入庫予定日「１月５日」と「１月１０日」との入庫予定データＦ１（ｎ＝１，２）が入庫引当手段５における引当対象になる。
そして、以後の引当数量が「２０個」と定義され（同図ステップＳ８）、入庫予定日「１月１５日」の入庫予定データＦ１の処理時に、引当数量情報Ａが入庫引当手段５から在庫引当手段６に送信される（同図ステップＳ９，Ｓ６のＮＯ，Ｓ５）。
このとき、引当数量情報Ａには、未引当数量「２０個」と入庫引当手段５で既に引当てた入庫予定データＦ１（ｎ＝１，２）とが含まれる。
【００３７】
すると、在庫引当手段６において、在庫引当過程が実行される。
すなわち、在庫データベース３１から読み出された商品ａの在庫数量「２０個」が引当数量情報Ａが示す未引当数量と等しいと判断され、この在庫数量が引当数量とされる（同図ステップＳ１１のＹＥＳ）。
そして、この引当数量と入庫引当手段５で既に引き当てられた入庫予定データＦ１（ｎ＝１，２）とを示す引当情報Ｍ２が発注手段７に送られる（同図ステップＳ１２）。
これにより、利用情報Ｕ１，利用情報Ｕ２が発注手段７から入庫管理部２０，在庫管理部３０とにそれぞれ送られ、入庫管理部２０によって、入庫予定情報Ｆの２つの入庫予定データＦ１（ｎ＝１，２）が削除されると共に、在庫管理部３０によって、在庫情報Ｐの商品ａに関する在庫データＰ１が削除される。
これと並行して、受注可能通知Ｎ２が顧客端末１０１と図示しない物流センタとに送られる。

（第２実施形態）
次に、この発明の第２実施形態に係る商品管理システムについて説明する。
図８は、この実施形態の商品管理システムを示すブロック図であり、図９は、入庫引当手段５′と在庫引当手段６′との機能を示すフローチャート図である。
図８に示すように、この実施形態の商品管理システム１′は、在庫引当手段６′を入庫引当手段５′の前段に配した点が上記第１の実施形態の商品管理システム１と異なる。
【００３９】
在庫引当手段６′は、在庫管理手段３の在庫情報Ｐが示す在庫数量を、受注手段４からの注文情報Ｒが示す希望数量に引き当てる手段である。
具体的には、在庫引当手段６′は、図９のステップＳ１に示すように、先ず、希望商品の配送が物理的に可能か否かを判断した後、同図ステップＳ２に示すように、可能であれば、希望数量に在庫数量を引き当てる処理を行う。
かかる処理は、上記第１実施形態の在庫引当手段６と略同様であるが、同図ステップＳ２のＮＯ及びＳ３に示すように、在庫数量で希望数量を引き当てることができた場合には、在庫で引き当てた数量（＝希望数量）を示す引当情報Ｍ２を発注手段７に送る。
逆に、同図ステップＳ２のＹＥＳ及びＳ４に示すように、在庫数量が希望数量に満たない場合には、希望数量から在庫数量を差し引いた未引当数量を示す引当数量情報Ａを入庫引当手段５′に送り、以後の処理を入庫引当手段５′にまかせる。
【００４０】
入庫引当手段５′では、在庫引当手段６′から引当数量情報Ａを受けると、同図ステップＳ５に示すように、入庫データベース２１の入庫予定情報Ｆを読み出して、希望商品についての入庫予定があるか否かを判断し、入庫予定がある場合には、同図ステップＳ６〜Ｓ１０に示すように、第１実施形態の入庫引当手段５と同様に、入庫予定情報Ｆの入庫予定データＦ１の入庫予定数量を順次、上記未引当数量に引き当てるルーチン処理を行う。
そして、未引当数量の全てが、入庫予定数量によって引き当てられた場合には、同図ステップＳ８のＮＯ及びＳ１１に示すように、在庫引当手段６′が既に引き当てた在庫数量と入庫引当手段５で引き当てた入庫予定データＦ１とを示す引当情報Ｍ１を発注手段７に送るようになっている。
なお、在庫数量や入庫数量を希望数量に引き当てられなかった場合には、同図ステップＳ１のＮＯ，Ｓ５のＮＯ，Ｓ７のＮＯ及びステップＳ１２に示すように受注不能通知Ｎ１が入庫引当手段５′や在庫引当手段６′から顧客端末１０１に送られるようになっている。
【００４１】
以上のように、この実施形態では、希望商品の希望数量を在庫で引き当て、在庫で引き当てられなかった残数量を入庫予定数量で引き当てるように処理することにより、在庫処分の迅速化を図っている。
その他の構成，作用及び効果は、上記第１実施形態と同様であるので、その記載は省略する。
【００４２】
なお、この発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、発明の要旨の範囲内において種々の変形及び変更が可能である。
例えば、上記実施形態では、通信回線としてインタネット１００を適用したが、ＩＳＤＮ等の通信網を利用して、顧客端末１０１から商品管理システム１に直接接続する構成とすることができることは明らかである。
また、上記実施形態では、工場に端末８を備え、入庫予定データＦ１をこの端末８から商品管理システム１の入庫管理手段２に送ると共に、倉庫に端末９を備え、在庫データＰ１をこの端末９から在庫管理手段３に送る例について説明したが、工場や倉庫に端末８，９を備えず、電話やＦＡＸ等を用いて、入庫予定データＦ１や在庫データＰ１を商品管理システム１の管理者に通知し、当該管理者が、これらの入庫予定データＦ１や在庫データＰ１を入庫管理手段２や在庫管理手段３に入力するようにした構成を除外する意味ではない。
【００４３】
さらに、上記実施形態では、入庫引当手段５，５′において、入庫予定日の早い順から入庫予定数量を引き当てていく処理を行うようにしたが、これに限るものではない。
希望納期から出荷日数と配送日数との和を差し引いて設定した日付以前に入庫予定のある商品の入庫予定数量の総和を希望商品に引き当てるようにしてもよい。
例えば、図４に示す注文情報Ｒを受信し、図２に示す入庫予定情報Ｆが入庫データベース２１に格納されている場合には、注文情報Ｒの希望納期「１月３１日」から出荷日数と配送日数との和「４日」を差し引いた日付「１月２７日」を所定時期として先ず設定する。そして、この所定時期「１月２７日」以前の入庫予定日を有する入庫予定データＦ１（ｎ＝１〜５）を全て読み出し、これらの入庫予定データＦ１の入庫数量の和「６０個」を希望数量｛５０個｝に引き当てる。すると、入庫数量「１０個」が余るので、この「１０個」の数量を最後の入庫予定日「１月２５日」の入庫予定数量として更新すると共に、この入庫予定日前の入庫予定データＦ１を全て削除するようにしてもよい。
また、希望納期が短期の「１月１５日」である場合には、所定時期は「１月１１日」であるので、入庫予定数量の総和は「３０個」である。したがって、希望数量「５０個」からこの総和「３０個」を差し引いた不足分を未引当数量として在庫引当手段６に処理させるようにすることもできる。
【００４４】
【発明の効果】
以上詳しく説明したように、請求項１及び請求項５の発明によれば、希望商品に関する注文があると、先ず、注文情報が示す希望納期以内の所定時期迄に入庫予定がある商品の総数量を希望数量に引き当て、しかる後、希望数量に対して商品総数量が不足した場合には、在庫数量を当該不足分の数量に引き当てる構成であるので、希望商品の希望納期が比較的長期の注文については、在庫数量を引き当てることなく、入庫予定の商品数量の引当だけで済む。したがって、在庫数量の引当率が減少し、在庫管理が容易となる。これに対して、希望納期が短期の注文については、入庫予定数量に加えて在庫数量を引き当てることで対処することができるので、短期納期の注文に対しても、受注を断ることなく、多くの注文を受けることができる。このように、長期及び短期の納期の注文に対応して受注することができるので、商品の引当効率を高めることができ、もって、受注量の増加と販売促進とを図ることができるという優れた効果がある。
【００４５】
また、請求項３及び請求項７の発明によれば、希望商品に関する注文があると、先ず、在庫情報が示す在庫数量を希望数量に引き当て、しかる後、希望数量に対して在庫数量が不足した場合には、注文情報が示す希望納期以内の所定時期迄に入庫予定がある商品総数量を不足分の数量に引き当てる構成であるので、在庫処分を迅速に行うことができるだけでなく、在庫がない商品についても、受注を断ることなく、効率よく多くの注文を受けることができるという優れた効果がある。
【００４６】
特に、請求項２，請求項４，請求項６及び請求項８の発明によれば、入庫予定の商品総数量を求める基準となる所定時期が、商品の出荷所要期間及び配送所要期間等の必要期間を考慮して求められるので、確実に配送可能な入庫予定商品のみの総数量を正確に求めることができるという効果がある。

[0017]
The order receiving unit 4 is a unit that receives the order information R sent from the customer terminal 101 to the product management system 1 via the Internet 100 and transfers the order information R to the storage allocation unit 5.
FIG. 4 is a table showing an example of the order information R.
As shown in FIG. 4, the order information R includes an order date, “desired delivery date” and “desired quantity” for various products (“a” and “b” in FIG. 4) ordered by the customer of the customer terminal 101. , "And" Customer and delivery destinations. "
[0018]
As shown in FIG. 1, the storage allocation means 5 is configured to execute the storage within the desired delivery date indicated by the order information R from the order receiving means 4 based on the planned storage date and the planned storage quantity indicated by the planned storage information F in the storage database 21. This is a means having a function of obtaining the total number of products to be stored by a predetermined time and assigning the total number of products to the desired quantity of the order information R.
[0019]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the function of the storage allocation means 5.
When receiving the order information R from the order receiving means 4, the warehousing allocation means 5 first receives the current date confirmed by a timer (not shown) and the number of days of shipping of the desired product indicated by the order information R, as shown in step S 1 of FIG. It has a function of determining whether or not the date of the sum with the number of delivery days is within the desired delivery date indicated by the order information R.
Here, the number of shipping days is the number of days required for packing the desired product, etc., and the number of shipping days of the product by the warehousing allocation means 5 is determined as shown in FIG. This is performed based on the table T1. The number of delivery days is the number of days required to deliver the desired product to the delivery destination indicated by the order information R. The number of delivery days is determined by the number of delivery days for each delivery destination as shown in FIG. Is performed on the basis of the delivery days table T2 in which is written.
[0020]
If the storage allocation means 5 determines that the current date and the sum of the shipping days and the delivery days exceed the desired delivery date based on the above shipping days and delivery days, NO in step S1 in FIG. As shown in S2, an order unavailable notification N1 is transmitted to the customer terminal 101. This is because delivery is physically impossible irrespective of whether a product is stocked or not.
Conversely, if it is determined that the date is within the desired delivery date, the storage allocation means 5 defines the allocation quantity to the desired quantity as shown in YES and S3 in step S2 in the figure, and then sets the storage schedule information. F is read from the storage database 21 of the storage management means 2, and as shown in step S4 in the figure, it is determined whether or not there is a planned storage of the desired product before the desired delivery date.
[0021]
When it is determined that there is no storage schedule, the storage allocation means 5 sends the allocation quantity information A indicating the current allocation quantity to the inventory allocation means 6 as shown in NO in step S4 and S5 in FIG. Subsequent processing is left to the inventory allocation means 6.
Conversely, if it is determined that there is a storage schedule, the storage allocation means 5 determines, as shown in YES in step S4 and steps S5 to S9, the total number of products scheduled to be stored by a predetermined time within the desired delivery date. Perform routine processing to allocate the quantity.
More specifically, as shown in steps S5 and S6 in the drawing, of the storage schedule data F1 having the earliest storage schedule date among the storage schedule data F1 in the storage schedule information F, the storage schedule date, shipping days, It is determined whether or not the date of the sum with the number of delivery days is before the desired delivery date.
[0022]
When it is determined that the date of the sum is after the desired delivery date, the storage allocation means 5 stores the allocation quantity information A indicating the current allocation quantity as shown in NO in step S6 in FIG. To the stock allocation means 6 for subsequent processing.
Conversely, when the storage allocation means 5 determines that the sum date is before the desired delivery date, as shown in YES in step S6 and step S7 in the figure, the current allocation quantity (= desired quantity) Is determined to be greater than the scheduled storage quantity on the scheduled storage date.
[0023]
If it is determined that the reserved quantity is smaller than the planned storage quantity, the storage reservation means 5 can satisfy the desired storage quantity with the planned storage quantity, so as shown in NO and S10 in step S7 in FIG. Then, it sends allocation information M1 indicating which storage schedule data F1 is allocated to the desired quantity to the ordering means 7.
When the storage allocation unit 5 determines that the allocation amount is equal to or larger than the planned storage amount, as indicated by YES in step S7 and steps 8 and S9 in FIG. Is defined as the reserved quantity for the next process after deducting the scheduled storage quantity of the scheduled storage data F1 that is set as follows, and then the storage scheduled data F1 having the next scheduled storage date is processed.
In other words, a process of allocating the scheduled storage quantity of the next storage scheduled data F1 to the remaining quantity of the desired quantity not allocated with the planned storage quantity of the first storage scheduled data F1 is performed.
[0024]
As with the previous storage schedule data F1, the process of step S6 in the same figure also determines whether the sum of the planned storage date, the number of shipping days, and the number of delivery days is before the desired date. If it is determined that it is after the desired delivery date, it is determined that the goods scheduled to be delivered that can be delivered by the desired delivery date are the products that have been processed up to the previous time. Then, the remaining amount obtained by subtracting the total amount of the scheduled storage quantity allocated up to the previous time from the current allocated quantity, ie, the desired quantity, is sent to the inventory allocation means 6 as an unallocated quantity, so that the subsequent processing is performed. Leave it to means 6.
[0025]
Conversely, if it is determined that the delivery date is before the desired delivery date, the process of step S7 in the figure is performed, and it is determined whether or not the current allocation quantity is larger than the storage schedule quantity indicated by the storage schedule data F1. If it is determined that the quantity is smaller than the scheduled storage quantity, the allocation information M1 indicating the storage schedule data F1 allocated up to the present time is sent to the ordering means 7, as shown in NO in step S7 and S10 in FIG.
If it is determined that the reserved quantity is equal to or larger than the scheduled storage quantity, as indicated by YES in step S7 in the figure, the processing in steps S8 and S9 in the figure is performed, and the same processing is performed for the next scheduled storage data F1. Repeat the process.
[0026]
By such repetitive processing, the processing eventually reaches NO in step S6 or NO in step S7 in FIG.
In the case that the process of NO in step S6 in the figure finally leads to the execution, the scheduled storage quantity is allocated to the desired quantity sequentially from the first storage planned data F1 in the storage planned information F. In this case, the desired quantity was not satisfied and a shortage occurred. For this reason, the storage allocation means 5 sends the allocation quantity information A indicating the unallocated quantity of the shortage and the storage schedule data F1 allocated by itself to the inventory allocation means 6, and performs the subsequent allocation processing to the inventory allocation means 6. I leave it to you.
On the other hand, the case where the process of NO in step S7 is finally performed is a case where the desired quantity is satisfied with the total quantity of the planned storage quantities sequentially allocated. For this reason, the storage allocation means 5 sends the allocation information M1 indicating which of the storage schedule data F1 of the storage schedule data F1 in the storage schedule information F is allocated to the desired quantity to the ordering means 7, and The order is ordered.
As a result, as a result, the warehousing allocation means 5 has a warehousing schedule by the final scheduled warehousing date (predetermined time) obtained by subtracting the sum of the shipping days (shipping required period) and the delivery days (delivery required period) from the desired delivery date. A process of assigning the total quantity of a certain product to the desired quantity indicated by the order information R is performed.
[0027]
In FIG. 1, the inventory allocation means 6 allocates the total quantity of goods to be stored to the desired quantity indicated by the order information R by the storage allocation means 5, and if the total quantity of goods is insufficient for the desired quantity, the inventory This is a means for assigning the stock quantity indicated by the stock information P in the stock database 31 of the management unit 30 to the shortage quantity.
Specifically, upon receiving the allocation quantity information A from the receiving allocation means 5, the inventory allocation means 6 reads out the inventory information P from the inventory database 31, and as shown in step S11 in FIG. It is determined whether the stock quantity indicated by the data P1 is equal to or greater than the unallocated quantity indicated by the allocation quantity information A.
When determining that the stock quantity is smaller than the stock quantity, the stock allocating means 6 transmits an order impossible notification N1 to the customer terminal 101 as shown in NO in step S11 and step S2 in FIG.
Conversely, if it is determined that the stock quantity is equal to or greater than the unallocated quantity, the shortage can be filled with the stock quantity, and the stock is allocated as shown in YES and S12 in step S11 in FIG. The allocation information M2 indicating the stored quantity and the storage schedule data F1 already allocated by the storage allocation means 5 is sent to the ordering means 7.
[0028]
The ordering means 7 shown in FIG. 1 has a function of transmitting an update command U1 specifying the storage schedule data F1 processed by the storage allocating means 5 to the storage management unit 20 based on the allocation information M1 from the storage allocating means 5. ing. Further, the ordering means 7 specifies the update command U2 specifying the stock quantity processed by the stock allocating means 6 and the storage schedule data F1 allocated by the storage allocating means 5 based on the allocation information M2 from the stock allocating means 6. This is a means for sending the update command U1 to the inventory management unit 30.
Further, the inventory allocation means 6 has a function of transmitting an order notification N2 indicating the delivery date of the desired product indicated by the order information R to the customer terminal 101 and a distribution center (not shown) based on the allocation information M1 and M2. I have.
[0029]
Next, an operation of the product management system 1 according to this embodiment will be described.
The operation in the product management system 1 also specifically executes the product management method of the present invention.
For example, when the order information R shown in FIG. 4 is sent from the customer terminal 101 to the merchandise management system 1 via the Internet 100, the order information R is received by the order receiving means 4 and transferred to the storage allocating means 5. , An order receiving process is executed.
[0030]
Then, the order information R is received by the warehousing reservation means 5, and it is determined whether the sum of the current date, the number of shipping days, and the number of delivery days is within the desired delivery date for each of the products a and b (step in FIG. 5). S1).
Assuming that the current date is January 1, the date of the sum is “January 1” + “1st” + “3rd” = January 5 for both products a and b. Accordingly, the desired delivery date of the product a is January 31 as shown in FIG. 4, and the date of the sum is before the desired delivery date. As a result, the allocation quantity for the product a is defined as the desired quantity “50 pieces”, and it is determined whether or not there is a storage schedule for the product a. (YES in step S1 in the figure, S3, S4).
On the other hand, the desired delivery date of the product b is January 4, and therefore, January 5, which is the sum date of the product b, exceeds the desired delivery date. Therefore, an order unavailable notification N1 for the product b is transmitted from the warehousing allocation means 5 to the customer terminal 101 (NO in step S1 in the figure, S2).
[0031]
The determination of the presence or absence of a storage schedule by the storage allocation means 5 is performed by reading the storage schedule information F from the storage database 21 of the storage management unit 20.
As shown in FIG. 2, for the product a, there are six data items F1 to be stored, so that the storage allocation means 5 determines that there is a storage schedule, and the storage allocation process is executed by the subsequent routine processing. (Step S4: YES).
[0032]
That is, first, the storage schedule data F1 (n = 1) of the earliest scheduled date is read by the storage allocation means 5 from the storage schedule information F, and the storage schedule data, shipping days, and delivery days indicated by the storage schedule data F1 are calculated. It is determined whether or not the sum date is before the desired delivery date (steps S5 and S6 in the figure).
Since the date of the sum relating to the storage schedule data F1 (n = 1) is “January 5” + “1 day” + “3 days” = January 9, the desired delivery date “January 31” Before. As a result, the storage allocation means 5 determines whether or not the current allocation quantity "50 pieces" is larger than the planned storage quantity on the scheduled storage date "January 5" (step S6 in FIG. 6). YES, S7).
The scheduled storage quantity on the scheduled storage date is “10 pieces”, and the above reserved quantity (= desired quantity) is larger. "Piece" is defined as the allocation quantity for the next process (YES in step S7 in the figure, S8).
[0033]
Then, the storage schedule data F1 (n = 2) of the next earliest storage schedule date “January 10” is read, and it is determined whether or not the sum date is before the desired delivery date “January 31”. (Steps S9 and S6 in the figure).
Since the sum date for the storage schedule data F1 is “January 14”, it is determined whether or not the reserved quantity “40 pieces” at the current time is larger than the storage quantity of the schedule date “January 10”. Is determined (YES in step S6 in the figure, S7).
Since this allocation quantity is larger than the scheduled storage quantity "15 pieces", "25 pieces" obtained by subtracting the storage quantity "15 pieces" from the allocation quantity "40 pieces" is defined as the allocation quantity for the next processing (step in FIG. YES in S7, S8).
[0034]
Thereafter, the same processing is performed for the scheduled storage data F1 (n = 3, 4) on the scheduled storage date “January 15” and “January 20”. Then, in the processing of step S8 in FIG. 5 for the scheduled storage data F1 (n = 4) on the scheduled storage date “January 20”, the next allocation quantity is “0”. Therefore, in the storage schedule data F1 (n = 5) of the next scheduled storage date “January 25”, the allocation quantity “0” is smaller than the planned storage number “10” at the time of processing of step S7 in FIG. It is determined that it is small, and the allocation information M1 is sent from the storage allocating means 5 to the ordering means 7 (end of the storage allocating process).
At this time, the allocation information M1 indicates that four pieces of scheduled storage data F1 from the scheduled storage date “January 5” to “January 20” have been allocated to the desired quantity of the order information R. . That is, the allocation information M1 is information indicating that all of the desired quantities have been satisfied by the sum of the planned storage quantities of the four planned storage data F1.
[0035]
When such allocation information M1 is sent to the ordering means 7, as shown in FIG. 1, an update command U1 specifying the above-mentioned four storage schedule data F1 (n = 1 to 4) is sent to the storage management unit 2 by the storage management unit 2. The data is sent to the storage unit 20 and these four storage schedule data F1 are deleted from the storage schedule information F by the storage management unit 20. As a result, the warehousing schedule information F in the warehousing database 21 is updated as the warehousing schedule information F having only two warehousing schedule data F1 of the scheduled warehousing date “January 25” and “January 30”. It becomes.
In parallel with this, an order accept notification N2 is sent to the customer terminal 101 and a distribution center (not shown).
[0036]
In the above example, when an order with a desired delivery time of one month is received, it is possible to satisfy the stocked product without using stock items. An example of the processing for the order of will be described.
For example, when the desired delivery date of the product a of the order information R shown in FIG. 4 is “January 15”, the scheduled storage date “January 5” and “1” of the storage schedule information F shown in FIG. The storage schedule data F1 (n = 1, 2) as of “Month 10” is to be allocated by the storage allocation means 5.
Then, the subsequent allocation quantity is defined as "20" (step S8 in the figure), and at the time of processing the storage schedule data F1 on the scheduled storage date "January 15", the allocation quantity information A is transferred from the storage allocation means 5 to the inventory. It is transmitted to the allocation means 6 (NO in steps S9 and S6 in the figure, S5).
At this time, the allocation quantity information A includes the unallocated quantity “20” and the storage schedule data F1 (n = 1, 2) already allocated by the storage allocation means 5.
[0037]
Then, the stock allocation means 6 executes a stock allocation process.
That is, it is determined that the inventory quantity “20” of the product a read from the inventory database 31 is equal to the unallocated quantity indicated by the allocation quantity information A, and this inventory quantity is set as the allocation quantity (step S11 in FIG. 11). YES).
Then, the allocation information M2 indicating the allocation quantity and the storage schedule data F1 (n = 1, 2) already allocated by the storage allocation means 5 is sent to the ordering means 7 (step S12 in the figure).
As a result, the usage information U1 and the usage information U2 are sent from the ordering means 7 to the storage management unit 20 and the inventory management unit 30, respectively, and the storage management unit 20 stores two pieces of storage planning data F1 (n = The items 1, 2) are deleted, and the inventory management unit 30 deletes the inventory data P1 relating to the product a in the inventory information P.
In parallel with this, an order receipt notification N2 is sent to the customer terminal 101 and a distribution center (not shown).
[0038]

[0039]
The stock allocation means 6 ′ is means for allocating the stock quantity indicated by the stock information P of the stock management means 3 to the desired quantity indicated by the order information R from the order receiving means 4.
Specifically, as shown in step S1 of FIG. 9, the inventory allocation means 6 'first determines whether the delivery of the desired product is physically possible, and then, as shown in step S2 of FIG. If possible, a process of assigning the stock quantity to the desired quantity is performed.
This processing is substantially the same as that of the inventory allocation means 6 of the first embodiment. However, as shown in NO and S3 in step S2 in FIG. The allocation information M2 indicating the quantity (= desired quantity) allocated in (1) is sent to the ordering means 7.
Conversely, if the stock quantity is less than the desired quantity, as shown in YES and S4 of step S2 in the figure, the reserved quantity information A indicating the unallocated quantity obtained by subtracting the stock quantity from the desired quantity is stored in the storage allocating means 5. ′ And let the subsequent processing be performed by the storage allocation means 5 ′.
[0040]
Upon receiving the allocation quantity information A from the inventory allocation means 6 ', the storage allocation means 5' reads out the storage schedule information F of the storage database 21 as shown in step S5 in FIG. It is determined whether or not there is a warehousing schedule. If there is a warehousing schedule, as shown in steps S6 to S10 in FIG. A routine process for sequentially assigning the planned quantity to the unallocated quantity is performed.
When all the unallocated quantities are allocated according to the scheduled storage quantity, as shown in NO in step S8 and S11 in the figure, the inventory quantity already allocated by the inventory allocation means 6 'and the storage allocation means 5 The allocation information M1 indicating the allocated storage schedule data F1 is sent to the ordering means 7.
If the desired quantity cannot be allocated to the stock quantity or the storage quantity, the order-disapproval notice N1 is sent to the storage allocation means 5 'as shown in step S1, NO in step S5, NO in step S7, and step S12. Or from the stock allocation means 6 'to the customer terminal 101.
[0041]

Other configurations, operations, and effects are the same as those in the first embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted.
[0042]
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications and changes can be made within the scope of the invention.
For example, in the above embodiment, the Internet 100 is applied as a communication line. However, it is apparent that a configuration in which the customer terminal 101 is directly connected to the merchandise management system 1 using a communication network such as ISDN is apparent.
Further, in the above embodiment, the factory is provided with the terminal 8, the storage schedule data F1 is sent from the terminal 8 to the storage management means 2 of the product management system 1, and the terminal 9 is provided in the warehouse. Has been described above, the terminal 8 and 9 are not provided in the factory or warehouse, but the storage schedule data F1 and the inventory data P1 are sent to the administrator of the product management system 1 using a telephone or a facsimile. It does not mean that the configuration in which the administrator notifies the storage management means 2 and the inventory management means 3 of the storage schedule data F1 and the inventory data P1 is notified.
[0043]
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the storage allocating means 5, 5 'performs the processing of allocating the planned storage quantity from the earliest planned storage date, but the present invention is not limited to this.
The total of the scheduled storage quantities of the products scheduled to be stored before the set date by subtracting the sum of the shipping days and the delivery days from the desired delivery date may be allocated to the desired products.
For example, when the order information R shown in FIG. 4 is received and the warehousing schedule information F shown in FIG. 2 is stored in the warehousing database 21, the number of shipping days from the desired delivery date “January 31” of the order information R is calculated. First, a date “January 27” obtained by subtracting the sum “4 days” from the number of delivery days is set as a predetermined time. Then, all the storage schedule data F1 (n = 1 to 5) having the storage schedule date before the predetermined time “January 27” is read, and the sum “60 pieces” of the storage quantity of these storage schedule data F1 is requested. Allocate to quantity {50 pieces}. Then, since the storage quantity of “10 pieces” is left, the quantity of “10 pieces” is updated as the storage quantity of the last scheduled storage date “January 25”, and the storage schedule data F1 before the storage scheduled date is updated. All of them may be deleted.
When the desired delivery date is a short term “January 15”, the predetermined time is “January 11”, and the total of the scheduled storage quantities is “30”. Therefore, the shortage obtained by subtracting the total “30” from the desired quantity “50” can be processed by the inventory allocation means 6 as an unallocated quantity.
[0044]
