In FIG. 8, the control unit 200 totals the order information stored in the reception storage unit 2031 for each category for classifying products (step S <b> 351). Next, the control unit 200 aggregates the order information arranged by category for each product code within each category (step S352). And the control part 200 totals the order information arranged in the product code unit for every order number (step S353). By organizing and summarizing in this way, the control unit 200 can create information in which the number of ordered products is divided into order units from the order information stored in the reception storage unit 2031.

  Returning to the description of FIG. Based on the order information arranged in step S35, the control unit 200 creates picking slip information related to the product delivered by the delivery flight (step S36). Then, the control unit 200 transmits (outputs) print information based on the created picking slip information from the LAN I / F 209 to the printer 17 via the LAN 15 (step S37). The printer 17 prints the picking slip based on the received print information.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of the picking slip 50 printed by the printer 17 when the control unit 200 of the network super management server 14 transmits print information to the printer 17. In FIG. 9, the picking slip 50 has a column 51 indicating that it is a picking slip, a category number column 52 indicating the category number of the product indicated by the picking slip, and a store name column 53 that operates the delivery flight. .

  The picking slip 50 has a delivery flight name column 54, an order end time column 55 for the delivery flight, and a category column 56 indicating the contents of the category. In the example of FIG. 9, the item picked with this voucher has the category number “1”, the category “1” is the category of “vegetables”, “fruit”, and “beef”, and the item picked by the picking voucher 50 Delivery is the third flight starting at 15:00, and the order end time for delivery by this delivery flight is 13:00.

  The picking slip 50 includes a product code column 57 for a product to be picked, a product photo column 58, a product name / standard column 59, a product origin / manufacturer column 60, a product price column 61, and a total number of products to be picked. 62, a bar code column C in which these pieces of information are represented by bar codes is described.

  The product code column 57 describes a product code for specifying a product. The photo column 58 describes products images and photos. The product name / standard column 59 indicates the product name and product standard. In the example of FIG. 9, it is written as OO beef / 300g, and it is written as a standard that the product is 300g. The product origin / manufacturer column 60 indicates the product origin and manufacturer. The product price column 61 describes the price of one product. The total number column 62 describes the total number of products to be picked.

  The bar code column C is a notation for confirming that the picking operation has been completed for each product. The person in charge reads the barcode attached to the picked product at the handy terminal (not shown) carrying the picked product every time the product is picked, and when the picking is completed, it is displayed in the barcode column C at the handy terminal. Read the bar code and check the number of products.

  Further, the picking slip 50 has an order unit notation column 63 in which the number of ordered products to be picked is displayed in order. In the example of FIG. 9, “5-2-2-1” is displayed in the order unit description column 63 of the product “Daikon” from the left side to the right side in the order of orders with the largest order quantity. This means that there are four orders for “Daikon”, and the order quantity is 5, 2, 2 and 1 for each order.

  Similarly, “2-2-1” is written in the order unit display column 63 of the product name “carrot”, and there are three orders of “carrot”, and the order quantity is 2 pieces for each order. It means two and one. In addition, in the order unit display column 63 of the product name “apple”, “3-2-2-1” is written, and there are four orders for “apple”, and the number of orders for each order is 3 pieces. It means two, two and one. In addition, in the order unit notation column 63 of the product name “tomato”, “7-5-2-1” is written, and there are 4 orders of “tomato”, and the order quantity is 7 pieces for each order. It means five, two and one. In addition, in the order unit notation column 63 of the product name “XX beef”, “1-1” is described, and there are two orders for “XX beef”. It means one. Further, “2” is written in the order unit description column 63 of the product name “cabbage”, which means that there is one order of “cabbage” and the number of orders is two.

  The person in charge of picking bundles commodities for each order when performing picking work while looking at the picking slip 50. For example, the product “Daikon” picks 5 pieces and bundles them, then picks 2 pieces and bundles them, picks 2 pieces again, bundles them together, and finally picks one piece .

  Note that the control unit 200 may indicate the number of the same order when there are a plurality of orders with the same number of ordered products. For example, in the case of the product “Daikon”, “5- (2 × 2) -1” may be displayed instead of “5-2-2-1”.

  Returning to the description of FIG. In step S31, when the control unit 200 determines that the predetermined time is not reached (No in step S31), the control unit 200 determines whether or not the packing operation has started (step S41). When a packing start key (not shown) provided on the operation unit 208 or the handy terminal 16 is operated, the control unit 200 determines that packing is started.

  The packing operation is performed as follows. Collect picked items in a place with some space. In addition, a box (or basket) to be packed is prepared for each order number (or customer code) delivered by a delivery flight (in the embodiment, the third flight). The person in charge of packing extracts the ordered product from the collected products and packs it in the prepared box while looking at the packing slip. At this time, if there are a plurality of the same products, they are already bundled, so the person in charge takes out a bundle of products and stores them in a box for packing.

  If it is determined that packing has been started (Yes in step S41), the control unit 200 creates packing slip information for each order number (step S42). The control unit 200 transmits (outputs) print information based on the created packing slip information for each order number from the LAN I / F 209 to the printer 17 via the LAN 15 (step S43). The printer 17 prints the packing slip separately for each order unit based on the received print information.

  Next, the control unit 200 determines whether or not the order number input from the operation unit 208 or the handy terminal 16 has been received (step S44). If it is determined that the order number has been received (Yes in step S44), the control unit 200 stores the order information ordered with the received order number in the order number storage unit 2032 (step S45).

  After that, the product is packed. When the product is packed in the box, the person in charge reads the product code attached to the product using the handy terminal 16 while looking at the printed packing slip. The control unit 200 determines whether or not a product code has been received from the handy terminal 16 (step S46). If it is determined that the product code has been received (Yes in step S46), the control unit 200 stores the received product code in the input information storage unit 2033 (step S47).

  Next, the control unit 200 determines whether or not the product codes of all the products ordered with the received order number have been received from the handy terminal 16 (step S48). This determination is performed by the control unit 200 comparing the product code included in the order information stored in the order number storage unit 2032 with the product code stored in the input information storage unit 2033. If all product codes match, it is determined that all product codes have been received. That is, if all the product codes received at the time of packing match the product code of the ordered order information, it is determined that all the ordered products are packed.

  If it is determined that all product codes have been received (Yes in step S48), the control unit 200 creates delivery slip information for the order number based on the order information stored in the order number storage unit 2032. (Step S49). The control unit 200 transmits (outputs) print information based on the created delivery slip information from the LAN I / F 209 to the printer 17 via the LAN 15 (step S50). The printer 17 prints the order slip corresponding to the order number based on the received delivery slip print information. The printed delivery slip is affixed to the box after packing.

  And the control part 200 memorize | stores the order number which output the printing information of the delivery slip in the packing memory | storage part 2034 (step S51). Then, the control unit 200 returns to step S44 and waits.

  If it is determined in step S46 that no product code has been received (No in step S46), or if it is determined in step S48 that product codes for all products have not been received (No in step S48). ), The control unit 200 returns to step S46 and waits for the input of the next product code.

  If it is determined in step S44 that the order number has not been received (No in step S44), the control unit 200 next determines whether or not an operation for finishing packing has been performed (step S61). When the person in charge of packing operates the operation key 208 or the end key (not shown) provided in the handy terminal 16 of the net super management server 14, the control unit 200 determines that the packing end operation has been performed.

  When it is determined that the packing end operation has been performed (Yes in step S61), the control unit 200 determines whether or not packing of all commodities has been completed (step S52). The control unit 200 compares the order number included in the order information stored in the reception storage unit 2031 with the order number stored in the packing storage unit 2034, and if all the order numbers match, It is determined that the product has been packed.

  When it is determined that packing of all the products has been completed (Yes in step S62), the control unit 200 ends the process. In addition, when it is determined that packing of all products is not completed because all the order numbers do not match (No in step S62), the control unit 200 displays an error message indicating that packing is not completed. It displays on the display part 206 and the handy terminal 16 (step S63), returns to step S44, and waits.

  When it is determined in step S61 that the packing end operation has not been performed (No in step S61), the control unit 200 returns to step S44 and waits. If it is determined in step S41 that packing has not started (No in step S41), the control unit 200 returns to step S31 and waits.

  According to such an embodiment, since the picking slip 50 includes the order unit notation column 63 in which the number of ordered products to be picked is arranged and displayed in order units, the person in charge of picking picks up the picking slip 50. Since the products picked up can be bundled in units of orders, the packing operation can be performed without reducing the work efficiency even when a sufficient space cannot be secured when packing the products.

  Further, according to the embodiment, since a picking slip can be created for each delivery flight for delivering a product, it is possible to efficiently perform the picking work for the product delivered by the same delivery flight.

  In addition, according to the embodiment, since the order products are listed in order from the largest number, the processing is easy when the products are bundled.

  In the embodiment, when there are a plurality of orders with the same number of ordered products, the number of the same orders may be described. In this way, when there are a large number of orders with the same number of ordered items, the number of all ordered items can be expressed in a shorter length than when they are listed side by side.
