Can be decided.

Here, when purchasing goods, we may accept pre-collected inventory of goods (goods) that can be expected to be traded to some extent, but depending on the warehouse (region), the warehouse is small or the demand for goods is small. It may not be possible to accept the contract. In the past, it was decided whether or not to accept the goods (commodities) in consideration of only the goods (commodities), but in the present embodiment, whether or not to accept the goods by considering the demand for each warehouse (region) (consigned goods). It was made possible to decide whether or not to treat as.

As a result, in the present embodiment, for example, when there are distribution centers nationwide and there is a difference in demand in each region, not only the goods but also the warehouse (region) and the goods are taken into consideration when the goods are delivered. It has become possible to determine whether or not to accept the product (whether or not it should be treated as a consigned product). As a premise, the contracted transaction shall be based not only on the situation at the company but also on the contract with the stakeholders (contract period with the supplier, purchase conditions for immovable inventory, etc.). Therefore, in order to switch the transaction form (switch the inventory classification in the consignment master 106a), it is necessary to negotiate with the customer and the supplier and make a judgment of a person.

Hereinafter, the effects of managing the product as a consignment product and managing the product as a normal product will be described.

In the case of an area where supply and demand are large, for example, the following effects can be expected by keeping inventory as a consignment product (ordering collectively) as shown in FIG. First, from the perspective of the company, it is possible to prevent the loss of sales opportunities to customers. In addition, from the viewpoint of the supplier, the delivery cost can be reduced because the delivery is performed all at once. Then, from the customer's point of view, the lead time until delivery is reduced.

On the other hand, in the case of an area where supply and demand are small, for example, the following effects can be expected by keeping inventory as a normal product (ordering each time) as shown in FIG. That is, from the viewpoint of the company, it is possible to reduce the inventory management cost of the company and the inventory amount on the BS.
