To do. For example, the inventory management unit 2002 changes the combination of the product code and the inventory quantity stored in the site-specific inventory table 208 to the combination of the product code and the inventory quantity included in the inventory information 108.

  The receiving location management unit 2003 manages the receiving location table 211. For example, when the communication control unit 2001 receives the receiving location setting information, the inventory management unit 2002 sets the receiving location in the receiving location table 211 based on the receiving location setting information. Here, the receiving location setting information is information for requesting the setting of the receiving location registered in the receiving location table 211. The receiving location setting information includes a customer code and a receiving location code. Accordingly, the receiving location management unit 2003 sets a combination of the customer code and the receiving location code included in the receiving location setting information in the receiving location table 211.

  The delivery list generation unit 2004 is an example of a first extraction unit, a second extraction unit, a calculation unit, and a selection unit. The delivery list creation unit 2004 creates delivery list information indicating delivery date and time at which products can be delivered at each receiving location. For example, when a transaction for selling a product is established in Internet shopping, the communication control unit 2001 receives order information indicating that an order has been received through Internet shopping from the customer terminal 30 or the like. The order information includes the customer code of the customer who sold the product and the product code for specifying the product to be sold. The order information is not limited to the customer terminal 30 and may be transmitted to the delivery management server 20 by another server device or the like.

  When the communication control unit 2001 receives the order information, the delivery list generation unit 2004 extracts a customer code included in the order information and one or a plurality of product codes. The delivery list generation unit 2004 extracts the base code of the base where the stock of the product with the product code extracted from the order information is extracted from the stock table 208 by base. In addition, the delivery list generation unit 2004 extracts the receiving location code associated with the customer code extracted from the order information from the receiving location table 211.

  Then, the delivery list generation unit 2004 calculates the delivery date and time when the product arrives at each receiving location extracted from the receiving location table 211 from each location extracted from the site-specific inventory table 208 based on the delivery time table 210. More specifically, the delivery list generation unit 2004 extracts from the delivery time table 210 the delivery time information associated with the site code extracted from the site-specific inventory table 208 and the receiving location code extracted from the receiving location table 211. . The delivery list generation unit 2004 adds the preparation time of the delivery time information to the current date and time. The delivery list generation unit 2004 is a delivery flight that departs from the reception location of the reception location code extracted from the reception location table 211 after the date and time after adding the preparation time, and is specified by the delivery specification of the delivery time information. The departure time of the flight is extracted from the delivery time table 209. The delivery list generation unit 2004 adds the waiting time until the extracted departure time to the date and time after adding the preparation time. Moreover, the delivery list | wrist production | generation part 2004 adds transport time to the date which added preparation time and waiting time to the present date. As a result, the delivery list generation unit 2004 calculates the delivery date and time when the product arrives at the receiving location.

In addition, the delivery list generation unit 2004, based on the delivery date and time when the product arrives at the receiving location, that is, the delivery time for delivery of the product, when the product can be delivered from a plurality of locations to one receiving location. From which base the product is to be delivered is selected. For example, the delivery list generation unit 2004 selects the base with the earliest delivery date as the base to which the product is to be delivered.

  Further, the delivery list generation unit 2004 calculates an available delivery date and time by adding an optional delivery preparation time to the delivery date and time when a delivery time is required for delivering the delivered product to the customer. Here, no delivery preparation time is required in the case of a predetermined receiving place. For example, when the receiving location set in the receiving location table 211 is at home, that is, when the product is delivered from the base to the home by courier, preparation for delivery of the product becomes unnecessary. Therefore, the delivery list generation unit 2004 sets the delivery date and time to the delivery available date and time.

  Moreover, in the case of a predetermined receiving place, it is not necessary to deliver the product. For example, if the receiving location set in the receiving location table 211 is a store and the store has stock, it is not necessary to deliver the product. Therefore, the delivery list generation unit 2004 sets the date / time obtained by adding the delivery preparation time to the current date / time as the deliverable date / time.

  In this way, the delivery list generating unit 2004 generates delivery list information indicating a list of the receiving locations set in the receiving location table 211 and the delivery dates and times when the products can be delivered at the receiving locations. Then, the delivery list generation unit 2004 causes the communication control unit 2001 to transmit the generated delivery list information to the customer terminal 30 of the customer who purchased the product. Here, the communication control unit 2001 may directly transmit the delivery list information to the customer terminal 30 or may transmit it to the customer terminal 30 through another device.

The receiving location setting screen G1 includes a delivery enable list G11, a receiving location input column G12, a receiving date and time input column G13, and an OK button G14. The deliverable list G11 is a list in which the deliverable date and time when the product can be delivered at each receipt location of the product included in the delivery list information is shown. The receiving location input column G12 is an input column for inputting the receiving location of the product. In the receiving location input field G12, any of the receiving locations displayed in the deliverable list G11 can be input. The receipt date / time input column G13 is an input column for inputting the receipt date / time of the product. In the receipt date / time input field G13, an arbitrary time can be input as long as it is after the delivery date / time of the receipt place input in the receipt place input field G12. The receipt date / time input field G13 is not limited to a format for inputting an arbitrary time, but may be a field for selecting a receipt time. The OK button G14 is a button for setting to receive a product at the receiving date and time input in the receiving date and time input field G13 at the receiving location input in the receiving address input field G12.

  The receipt setting unit 3004 causes the communication control unit 3001 to transmit receipt designation information indicating the receipt location of the merchandise and the receipt date and time of the merchandise. For example, the receiving setting unit 3004 displays the receiving location input in the receiving location input field G12 and the receiving date and time input in the receiving date input field G13 when the OK button G14 on the receiving location setting screen G1 is pressed. The reception control information included is transmitted to the communication control unit 3001.

  The receiving location setting unit 3005 sets the receiving location in the receiving location table 211. For example, the receiving location setting unit 3005 performs communication control on the receiving location setting information for setting the receiving location when the operation control unit 3002 accepts an operation for setting the receiving location on the setting screen displayed by the display control unit 3003. Unit 3001. Then, when receiving the receiving location setting information, the delivery management server 20 sets the receiving location specified by the receiving location setting information as the receiving location in the receiving location table 211.
