The order information is, for example, information regarding the order contents such as the number of each agricultural product ordered and the shipping destination. It is preferable that the order information further includes, for example, information regarding the orderer such as the name, address, and billing address of the orderer. Next, the input order information of the agricultural products is output from the terminal 2 to the delivery date management device 1 via the communication line network 3. In the present embodiment, the order information of the agricultural products input from the terminal 2 is output to the delivery date management device 1 via the communication network 3, but a server of a database that stores the order information of the agricultural products. May be output to. In this case, the order information of the agricultural products input from the terminal 2 is output to the database server via the communication network 3, and is stored in the database server. Then, the server of the database outputs the order information of the agricultural products to the delivery date management device 1 via the communication line network 3.

Next, the storage unit 11 stores in advance the inventory information of agricultural products (hereinafter, also referred to as “stock information”) and the delivery date information of agricultural products (hereinafter also referred to as “delivery information”). The inventory information is information regarding the number of inventory of the agricultural products, the location of the inventory, and the like. For example, when the agricultural product is being manufactured or commercialized, the inventory information may include information on the manufacturing status of the agricultural product instead of or in addition to the number of the inventory. The delivery date information is information regarding the number of days that the inventory of each agricultural product can be delivered to the shipping destination. The inventory information and the delivery date information may be, for example, inventory information and delivery date information of the user of the delivery date management apparatus 1, or inventory information and delivery date information of the manufacturer, wholesaler, seller, etc. of the agricultural product. , Both are acceptable. For the inventory information and the delivery date information, for example, even if the user's inventory information and delivery date information are acquired from a server storing these information, an email describing these information, etc., and stored in the storage unit 11. Good, the inventory information and delivery date information of the manufacturer, wholesaler, seller, etc. of the agricultural products are acquired from the server storing these information, the mail containing these information, and stored in the storage unit 11. You may. The inventory information and the delivery date information may be stored in the storage unit 11 after data conversion of information input by, for example, facsimile, voice input by telephone, or the like. The inventory information and the delivery date information may be modifiable by the input device 108 of the delivery date management apparatus 1.

Next, the process by the delivery date management apparatus 1 is started. First, the acquisition unit 12 of the delivery date management apparatus 1 acquires the order information for agricultural products output from the terminal 2 via, for example, the communication device 110 (S1, acquisition step).

Next, the delivery date calculation unit 13 calculates the delivery date of the agricultural product from the order information of the agricultural product, the inventory information of the agricultural product, and the delivery date information of the agricultural product (delivery date calculation step, S2). Specifically, first, in step S2, the number of agricultural products in the order information (the number of orders) is compared with the number of corresponding agricultural products in the inventory information (the number of stocks), and the inventory number is Determine if more than the number of orders. Then, in the case of No, that is, when the stock quantity is smaller than the order quantity, the delivery date of the agricultural product is calculated as undecided or out of stock in step S2. On the other hand, in the case of Yes, that is, when the stock quantity is larger than the order quantity, the delivery date of the agricultural product is calculated based on the number of days that can be delivered to the delivery destination in the delivery information. In this case, in step S2, for example, it is preferable to update the stock quantity by subtracting the number of agricultural products ordered from the stock quantity. When there are a plurality of agricultural products, the same determination and delivery date calculation are performed for each agricultural product in step S2. The delivery date of the agricultural product may be, for example, a specific number of days or qualitative information. The qualitative information is, for example, information indicating the status of the ordered agricultural products such as completion of allocation of the corresponding agricultural products and shipping. In the step S2, when the ordered agricultural products cannot be shipped to the orderer due to abandonment, production stop, etc., the delivery date of the agricultural products may be information indicating that delivery is impossible or undeliverable.

In step S2, the presence or absence of inventory may be confirmed using the inventory information prior to the comparison between the ordered quantity and the inventory quantity. In this case, in step S2, the delivery date calculation unit 13 first determines whether or not the number of stocks in the stock information is present. In the case of Yes, that is, when there is the stock quantity, the delivery time is calculated by comparing the order quantity with the stock quantity. On the other hand, in the case of No, that is, when the number of the stock is not present, that is, when it is 0, the delivery date of the agricultural product is calculated as undecided or out of stock. Then, the step S2 is completed. In the step S2, when the agricultural product is not in stock, it may be further confirmed by using the inventory information whether the agricultural product is in the manufacturing process such as manufacturing or commercialization. In this case, after confirming the presence or absence of the stock, in the step S2, the delivery date calculation unit 13 determines whether or not the agricultural product determined to be out of stock is in the manufacturing process based on the inventory information. .. Then, in the case of Yes, that is, when the agricultural product is in the manufacturing process, the delivery date of the agricultural product calculated based on the presence or absence of the stock is changed to manufacturing or commercialization. In this case, since the ordered agricultural products can be sent to the orderer later, the delivery date of the agricultural products may be, for example, a display indicating that the agricultural products will be sent later (for example, post-delivery). Then, the step S2 is completed. On the other hand, if No, that is, if the agricultural product is not in the manufacturing process, the delivery date of the agricultural product calculated based on the presence or absence of the inventory is not changed. Then, the step S2 is completed.

Next, the order information storage unit 14 associates the order information of the agricultural product with the delivery date of the agricultural product and stores them as order information (order information storage step, S3). Specifically, in step S3, the delivery date column of the agricultural product is added to the order information, and the delivery date of the agricultural product calculated in step S2 is added to the delivery date column of the agricultural product. In the step S3, the order information may be stored in the storage device 104 of the delivery management apparatus 1 or may be stored in a database server or the like outside the delivery management apparatus 1 via the communication line network 3. When there are a plurality of order information items, a plurality of order information items are created in step S3. In this case, in step S3, it is preferable to give a serial number such as an order number to each order information.

Next, the reply information creation 15 creates reply information for the order information of the agricultural products from the order information and the order information of the agricultural products (answer creating step, S4). The answer information is information on the order status of the agricultural products ordered by the orderer. In step S4, specifically, when the agricultural product in the order information matches the agricultural product in the order information, the name, number, etc. of the agricultural product as the ordered agricultural product in the response information. Add information. Further, when the order information includes information such as the shipping address, the name of the orderer, and the billing address, these information may be added to the response information in step S4. In step S4, the delivery date of the agricultural product associated in step S3 may be added to the response information. In this case, in step S4, it is preferable to add each agricultural product to the answer information so that the delivery date of each can be understood. Thereby, in step S5 described later, the reply information and the delivery date of the agricultural product can be simultaneously output to the orderer.

Then, the output unit 16 outputs the delivery date of the agricultural product and the response information (output step, S5 step). Specifically, in step S5, the delivery date of the agricultural product and the response information may be output to the terminal 2 of the orderer through the communication line network 3, or delivery date management may be performed through the communication line network 3. It may be stored in a database server or the like outside the device 1. In the latter case, the delivery date of the agricultural product and the response information are output from the server of the database to the orderer. In step S5, the delivery date of the agricultural product and the response information may be output to the orderer at the same time or separately, but the former is preferable. When simultaneously outputting the delivery date of the agricultural product and the response information to the orderer, in S5, the delivery date of the agricultural product may be output as a part of the response information. In this case, as described above, in step S4, the delivery date of the agricultural product calculated in step S2 is added to the response information. When outputting the delivery date of the agricultural product and the response information separately to the orderer, in step S5, when outputting the delivery date of the agricultural product, each agricultural product is associated with the delivery date. It is preferable that the data is output after being output.

According to the delivery date management apparatus, the delivery date management method, and the delivery date management system of the first embodiment, inventory information of the agricultural products and delivery date information of the agricultural products are stored in the storage unit. Therefore, according to this aspect, it is possible to calculate the delivery date of the agricultural product when processing the order information. Therefore, according to this aspect, when outputting the reply information, the delivery date of the agricultural products ordered together can be answered to the orderer.

In the present embodiment, when the agricultural product is shipped to the orderer based on the order information, the corresponding order information is preferably deleted. With this, in this aspect, unnecessary processing that occurs due to the accumulation of the order information can be reduced, and thus a reduction in processing speed can be suppressed.

It is the same except that it is provided with a configuration other than.

An example of processing in the delivery date management apparatus 1A of the present embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

First, S1 to S5 are performed in the same manner as S1 to S5 in the processing of the delivery date management device 1 of the first exemplary embodiment.

Next, the update unit 17 acquires and stores the inventory information of the new agricultural product (hereinafter, also referred to as “new inventory information”) and the delivery date information of the new agricultural product (hereinafter also referred to as “new delivery date information”). The inventory information of the agricultural products and the delivery date information of the agricultural products stored in the unit 11 are updated to the inventory information of the new agricultural products and the delivery date information of the new agricultural products (update step, S6). The type of information included in the new inventory information may be the same as or different from the inventory information, but the former is preferable. The type of information included in the new delivery date information may be the same as or different from the delivery date information, but the former is preferable. In step S6, the acquisition of the new inventory information and the new delivery date information can be performed in the same way as the storage of the inventory information and the delivery date information in the storage unit 11 in the first embodiment. In step S6, the inventory information and the delivery date information may be updated by storing the new inventory information and the delivery date information instead of the inventory information and the delivery date information stored in the storage unit 11. You may update by adding the said new inventory information and new delivery date information to information and delivery date information. When the inventory information and the delivery date information are updated to the new inventory information and the delivery date information in step S6, the inventory information and the delivery date information referred to in step S2 are the same as the new inventory information and the delivery date information. Preferably.

Next, the new delivery date calculation unit 18 determines a new delivery date of the agricultural product from the ordering information of the agricultural product in the order information, the inventory information of the new agricultural product, and the delivery date information of the new agricultural product ( A new delivery date) is calculated (new delivery date calculation step, S7).

Can be carried out. In the present embodiment, the new delivery date calculation unit 18 calculates the new delivery date, but the delivery date management device 1A is not limited to this, and the delivery date calculation unit 13 may calculate the new delivery date. In step S7, the presence or absence of the order information may be determined prior to the calculation of the new delivery date. In this case, in step S7, if there is no order information, the delivery date management method of the present embodiment ends. On the other hand, in step S7, when there is the order information, the new delivery date is calculated.

Next, the new delivery date determination unit 19 determines whether the delivery date (old delivery date) of the agricultural product is different from the new delivery date of the agricultural product (new delivery date determination step, S8). Then, in the case of No, that is, when the old delivery date and the new delivery date are the same, the delivery date management method of the present embodiment ends. On the other hand, if Yes, that is, if the old delivery date and the new delivery date are different, the process proceeds to step S9. In step S8, if the old delivery date and the new delivery date are different, it may be further determined whether the new delivery date is shorter than the old delivery date. In this case, in step S8, if the new delivery date is shorter than the old delivery date, the process proceeds to step S9. On the other hand, when the new delivery date is longer than the old delivery date, the delivery date management method of the present embodiment ends.

Next, the new delivery date output unit 20 outputs a new delivery date of the agricultural product (new delivery date output step, S9).
