Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for distributing data exchanged in an EDI system, and more particularly to an EDI data distribution technique suitable for efficient data distribution.

  In a conventional EDI system, for example, as described in Patent Document 1, a distribution process for determining a delivery destination of EDI data based on an “orderer code” in transmitted / received EDI data is performed.

  According to this technology, in an EDI order receiving system between companies in the manufacturing industry, order data received from an orderer can be automatically distributed to its own organization (each department) without format conversion.

  Further, in the technique described in Patent Document 2, the distribution management table is searched based on a specific set of items including a sender, an order receiver code, and a transaction type code in EDI data or message contents in EDI data. A distribution process for determining a distribution destination of EDI data is disclosed.

  In particular, in the technique described in Patent Document 2, in addition to the center server device grounded by an intermediary, a local server device that is a direct window for EDI data exchange with other companies is separately installed, thereby managing distribution. The contents of the table can be hierarchized, and transmission / reception of EDI data can be realized without being conscious of the organization of the partner company or the factory. Furthermore, the client device to which the EDI data should be distributed can be specified not by the transaction type code itself but by the business message content itself.

However, neither of Patent Documents 1 and 2 discloses an EDI data distribution technique based on a combination of arbitrary data items. In addition, no technique for efficiently registering the distribution management table has been disclosed.
JP 2000-029930 A JP 2000-156703 A

  The problems to be solved are that the conventional technology cannot determine the distribution of EDI data based on a combination of arbitrary data items in the EDI data, and the distribution management table cannot be registered efficiently. Is a point.

  In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, when a user of an EDI system requests a distribution information registration via a network such as the Internet using a user terminal such as a personal computer, a server connected via the network In a computer or the like, in response to a registration request from a user, a method for distributing data included in various exchange information on the EDI system is registered.

  According to the present invention, the user himself / herself can easily register distribution information by using a network such as the Internet, and the necessary information can be quickly obtained, and the operation speed can be increased. Can be achieved.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment showing the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of an EDI data distribution system according to the present invention. A server computer 1 is connected to terminals 2 and 3 via a network 4 such as the Internet. , 6.

  The terminals 2 and 3 are computer devices that are operated by a user (user) of the EDI system and, like the server computer 1, are composed of a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a main memory, a display device, an input device, and an external storage device. A computer configuration is used. After installing a program or data recorded in a storage medium such as a CD-ROM via an optical disk drive or the like in the external storage device, the program is read from the external storage device into the main memory and processed by the CPU. Thus, for example, each processing function of the Web browsers 2a and 3a is executed.

  The server computer 1 also executes the function based on the program loaded in the memory in advance, thereby executing the function as the EDI system 1a and the function as the EDI data distribution system 1b according to the present invention.

  That is, in this example, the server computer 1 executes the EDI data distribution system 1b that determines the distribution destination of EDI data in the EDI system 1a by computer processing, and the information registration processing unit 1c performs arbitrary data items of the EDI data. And the distribution destination information of the EDI data are stored in the storage device 5 in association with each other, and are received by the determination processing unit 1d and stored in the storage device 6 based on the association information stored in the storage device 5. The distribution destination of the EDI data is determined.

  Furthermore, in this example, in order to allow the user (user) of the EDI system to set the table registration contents, the information registration processing unit 1c receives the information from the user terminals 2 and 3 received via the network 4. In accordance with the instructions via the Web browsers 2a and 3a, the storage device is provided with a function of associating the combination information of arbitrary data items of EDI data with the delivery destination information of the EDI data in association with each other.

  As described above, in this example, the user (user) operates the terminals 2 and 3 such as personal computers to distribute the EDI data distribution information to the server computer 1 that executes the EDI system 1a and the network 4 such as the Internet. It is set as the structure registered through this.

  The EDI data distribution operation in the EDI system configured as described above will be described below with reference to FIG. 2 and subsequent drawings.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the difference from the prior art of the EDI data distribution system in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in the conventional distribution method, the transmission source and transmission destination data in the order data which is EDI data are discriminated, and each company (the coil center of the X company, the Y company, and the Z company) is classified. Whereas the order data is distributed and stored in the mailbox, in the distribution system of this example, any combination of data items (in this case, a part number) based on a pre-registered distribution rule , Size and standard), the order data is distributed. For example, if the order data matches the rule (condition) that the standard is “A”, the part number is “2005”, and the size is “1000 mm or more”, it is transmitted to the X company.

  As described above, in the EDI data distribution system of this example, in addition to the conventional distribution based on the destination, the combination of specific data items is determined and the EDI data is distributed.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a model configuration example when the EDI data distribution system in FIG. 1 is actually used.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the order data is transmitted from the “customer (customer)” to each coil center or the like. As shown in FIG. 3, the order data is stepwise according to the information of the pre-registered distribution master. Sorted.

  Here, joint EDI in the steel industry is taken as an example, and each distribution destination (recipient) in the case of distribution using the EDI data distribution system of this example is designated as “primary receiver”, “ "Secondary recipient" and "Tertiary recipient" are described.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of functions of the EDI data distribution system in FIG. 1, which includes a “distribution function”, a “WEB function”, and a “mail / fax linkage function”. "Data distribution process", "Error data output process", "Error data redistribution process", "Broadcast distribution" are executed. "Web function" is "Registered company master data registration", Execute “Master data registration”, “Commercial flow information conversion master registration”, “Distribution master data registration”, “Distribution result confirmation”, “Error data redistribution instruction”, and “CSV download”. In the “FAX linkage function”, “error notification”, “distribution result mail notification”, and “distribution result FAX notification” are executed.

  Hereinafter, details of each of the “distribution function”, “WEB function”, and “mail / FAX cooperation function” will be sequentially described. First, the concept (distribution concept) of the “distribution function” will be described.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a two-party information sharing model by the EDI data distribution system in FIG. 1. In the two-party information sharing model of this example, the information flow is called sender A / receiver B. It is based on the concept that information is distributed only to recipient B. Therefore, information is shared only between the two parties (sender A and receiver B).

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a three-party information sharing model by the EDI data distribution system in FIG. 1. In the three-party information sharing model of this example, the following improvements are performed. “1. Add concept of consignee C”, “2. Recipient B can transfer information received by self-confidence to consignee C”, “3. Information is duplicated when transferred”. Therefore, information is shared among the three parties (sender A, receiver B, and consignee C).

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an n-party information sharing model by the EDI data distribution system in FIG. 1. In the n-party information sharing model of this example, the following three concepts are extended as a concept of extending the three-party information sharing model. Make improvements. “1. Recipient (B, C) edits self-confidence information as sender information when copying information”, “2. Recipient (B, C) is outsourced (C, D) when copying information Information as recipient information ". Therefore, information is shared among n parties (A, B, C, D,...).

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a distribution model of the EDI data distribution system in FIG. 1, and this distribution model is established based on the following concept. “1. Consignee C is determined by a distribution rule”, “2, Information classification / sender / receiver / target product / consignee is a distribution rule”.

  FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a three-layer model distribution rule used in the EDI data distribution system in FIG. 1. The distribution rule of this example includes “information classification”, “sender”, “recipient”, “ It consists of each item of “consignee” and “standard”. As the first distribution rule, “information classification: firm order”, “sender: A”, “receiver: B”, “consignee: C”, “standard” : SPCC "is registered, and" Information Category: Final Order "," Sender: A "," Recipient: B "," Consignee: D ", and" Standard: xxxx "are registered as the second distribution rule. ing.

  Here, the information transmitted from the company A consists of “information classification: firm order”, “sender: A”, “receiver: B”, “standard: SPCC”, and the information received at the company B is also “information” “Category: Confirmed Order”, “Sender: A”, “Recipient: B”, “Standard: SPCC”. Based on this information, the receiver B refers to the “distribution rule”, determines the consignee C, edits the information, and selects “information classification: confirmed order”, “sender: B”, “ It is transmitted to the consignee C as “Recipient: C” and “Standard: SPCC”.

  FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a 4-layer model distribution rule used in the EDI data distribution system in FIG. 1. In the distribution rule registered between Company A and Company B, the first distribution rule is “ “Information Category: Final Order”, “Sender: A”, “Recipient: B”, “Consignee: C”, “Standard: SPCC” are registered, and “Information Category: Final Order” is set as the second distribution rule. , “Sender: A”, “Recipient: B”, “Consignee: D”, “Standard: xxxx” are registered, and in the distribution rule registered between the B company and the C company, As the first distribution rule, “information classification: firm order”, “sender: B”, “receiver: C”, “consignee: E”, “standard: SPCC”, “width: 10-50 mm” Registered as the second distribution rule Classification: firm orders "," Caller: B "," recipient: C "," subcontractor: F "," standard: SPCC "," width: 51~80mm "are registered.

  Here, the information sent from Company A consists of “Information Category: Final Order”, “Sender: A”, “Recipient: B”, “Standard: SPCC”, “Width: 20 mm”. The received information is also “information classification: firm order”, “sender: A”, “receiver: B”, “standard: SPCC”, “width: 20 mm”. The first rule corresponding to this information is specified, the consignee C is determined based on the first rule, the information is edited, and “information classification: confirmed order”, “sender: B”, “reception” Party: C ”,“ standard: SPCC ”, and“ width: 20 mm ”are transmitted to the consignee C.

  Upon receiving this information, outsourcer C identifies the first rule corresponding to this information from the “distribution rules” registered between the company and company B, and determines outsourcer E based on the first rule. Then, the information is edited and transmitted to the consignee E as “information classification: confirmed order”, “sender: C”, “receiver: E”, “standard: SPCC”, “width: 20 mm”.

  FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a registration form of a transmission / reception destination in the EDI data distribution system of FIG. 1. In this example, an object registered as a transmission / reception destination in the company B as a primary receiver is shown. In addition, “A” as a sender and “C, D, E, F, G” as recipients are registered. With this receiving / sending destination, a distribution requester (primary recipient) registers a company to receive / send information.

  Next, the “data distribution process” in the “distribution function” will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 15 and FIG.

  12 is an explanatory diagram showing a first transmission information example input to the EDI data distribution system in FIG. 1, and FIG. 13 is a second transmission information example input to the EDI data distribution system in FIG. FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a third example of transmission information input to the EDI data distribution system in FIG. 1, and FIG. 15 is a fourth transmission information input to the EDI data distribution system in FIG. FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example, FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a first received data example output from the EDI data distribution system in FIG. 1, and FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating a first output from the EDI data distribution system in FIG. FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram showing a third received data example output from the EDI data distribution system in FIG. Figure 19 is an explanatory view showing a fourth received data example output from EDI data distribution system in FIG. 1, FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing a data allocation processing operation example of the EDI data distribution system in FIG.

  The transmission information shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 has the file type “Joint EDI Center Standard Format” and the file name “2009 Indication Order”. The transmission information shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 has the file type “Joint EDI”. “Center standard format” and the file name are “2010 confirmed order”, and the EDI data distribution system of this example executes the processing shown in FIG. 20 in response to the input of the transmission information. As a result, files having the contents shown in FIGS. 16 to 19 are output as received data.

  In FIG. 20, when transmission information 2011 is input (step 201), the EDI data distribution system of this example starts batch processing (step 202). That is, the transmission information is read and fetched into the database (step 2021), stored as received information 2022, and a sorting process is executed for the received information 2022 with reference to the sorting master (rule) 2023a ( Step 2023).

  The distribution process result is converted with reference to the commercial flow information conversion master 2024a (step 2024), output as received data 203b, and registered as distribution result information 203a (step 203).

  As a precondition for executing such processing, the input file must be normal data divided into information receiver company code and information classification unit, and the following items must be set in the input file. Have been. That is, “2009 (indicated)” or “2010 (confirmed)” as “information classification”, “unified company code of data sender” as “information sender company code”, “data reception as“ information receiver company code ” Unified company code ”,“ customer code ”as“ base code ”,“ customer code ”as“ customer code ”,“ delivery location code ”as“ delivery destination code ”, and“ customer code ”as“ information ” The same code as the sender company code must be set.

  Also, the editing contents of the items performed in the sorting process are as follows. That is, regarding “information sender company code”, “edit to sender company code acquired from distribution master”, and “information receiver company code” to “edit to receiver company code acquired from distribution master”, Regarding the “orderer code”, “the base code obtained from the merchandise information conversion master”, regarding the “orderer code”, the “customer code obtained from the merchandise information conversion master”, and the “delivery place code” “Delivery destination code acquired from commercial flow information conversion master” and “Steel processing company code” are “edited to consignee company code acquired from distribution master”, and “Customer code” are “Deleted (demand "When there is no house display)", "Contract unit price" is "Deleted", "Consumption tax amount" is "Deleted", "Order amount" is "Deleted" To.

  Further, the data subjected to such distribution processing is in any of the following states. That is, “Normal: If there is no applicable distribution condition, the recipient company code in the data becomes the distribution destination. Also, if the distribution destination of one order is determined in one place, distribution is performed normally. ”,” Pending: Hold if the condition registered in the distribution master as suspend is met ”,“ Duplicate: If there are two or more distribution destinations for an order, an error will occur and the distribution will be "Not done", "Return: When an order is distributed, if the same company appears multiple times as an allocation destination, it will be an error and no distribution will be performed", "Mapping error: Commercial flow information conversion master It is an error when it is not defined, etc., and distribution is not performed.

  In addition, in the joint EDI center standard format, 10 bytes after “free use blank (100 bytes)” in the transmission information (input) item numbers 39 and 40 in FIGS. 13 and 15 are “item name: order amount”, It is defined as “attribute: 9 (10)” and “start position: 508”.

  In addition, regarding the determination of whether or not there is a distribution process, the distribution process treats only the information sender company code and information receiver company code that exist in the distribution company master as distribution target data, and there is no corresponding data Is through.

  Next, a case where an error occurs in such a distribution process, that is, the “error data output process” in the “distribution function” will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing an example of error data output processing operation of the EDI data distribution system in FIG.

  In the error data output process of this example, the distribution result file 211a is input in the input process in step 211, the distribution result file 211a is read in the process in step 212, and the error data output process 212a is batch processed. In the output process in step 213, the distribution result file 211a is updated and output as the distribution result file 213a.

  For the data that caused the distribution error in the error data output process, the distribution process is performed again based on the distribution instruction information instructed by the user as follows.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing an example of error data redistribution processing operation of the EDI data distribution system in FIG.

  In the error data redistribution processing of this example, the content check 221b and the distribution result file 221a of the redistribution instruction 221c are input in the input processing in step 221, and the distribution result file 221a is read in the processing in step 212. Referring to the distribution master 222b, the distribution process 222a corresponding to the result of the redistribution instruction check 221b is batch-processed. Note that this batch processing is executed according to a schedule, for example, at intervals of 30 minutes between 08: 00 and 22:00.

  In the output process at step 223, the process result is added to the distribution result file 221a and output as the distribution result file 223a. The reception data 223b to the distribution destination is generated and output. The received data 223b has the same configuration as that shown in each of FIGS.

  In addition, when the transmission destination (recipient) is individually specified in the distribution result 221a and the corresponding receiver exists in the distribution master 222b, the receiver registered in the distribution result 221a is prioritized. In the distribution result file 223a, the data subjected to the redistribution process is in a redistributed state.

  In the error data redistribution process and the data distribution process of FIG. 20, when broadcast distribution information is registered in the distribution masters 2023a and 222b, reception data 203b and 223b are generated according to the broadcast distribution information. .
