Patent No. 6683319

By the way, among the products handled by the auto parts wholesale industry or the machine parts wholesale industry, there are products that are manufactured based on drawings designed by the manufacturer, drawings approved by the manufacturer, and the manufacturer's standards. These products are generally called genuine products. The sales rights for these genuine products are owned by the manufacturer. For this reason, genuine products must always be sold through a genuine products supply route that starts from the manufacturer.

In addition, certain manufacturers may specify complex sales channels for certain product groups that they sell, such as through affiliated distributors.

On the other hand, actual orders include not only genuine products received from authorized dealers, but also a mixture of non-genuine products (hereafter referred to as "non-genuine products").

However, in practice, orders are sometimes placed without any particular consideration of the trade flow, so workers must determine and allocate sales and billing destinations according to specified conditions. As a result, auto parts wholesalers and machine parts wholesalers rely on workers' experience, which leads to allocation errors and tedious work at the end of the month, leaving room for improvement in reducing work hours.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above, and aims to provide a genuine product distribution management device, a genuine product distribution management method, and a genuine product distribution management method that can reduce the amount of work required and reduce errors.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the object, the genuine product distribution management device according to the present invention is a genuine product distribution management device having a control unit, and is capable of accessing a customer master in which a billing destination is associated with each customer, a billing destination master in which a corporation and a C/M category are associated with each billing destination, and a customer product name master in which a product code, a customer part number, and a billing destination code are associated with each business partner, and the control unit is characterized by having an acquisition unit that refers to the customer master, the billing destination master, and the customer product name master, and acquires the billing destination corporation code corresponding to the input customer and the billing destination code corresponding to the input product code, a determination unit that determines whether the corporation code matches the billing destination code in the customer product name master corresponding to the input product code, and an output unit that outputs information indicating that there is an input restriction when the determination unit determines that the corporation code does not match the billing destination code in the customer product name master corresponding to the input product code.

The genuine product distribution management method according to the present invention is a genuine product distribution management method executed by a genuine product distribution management device having a control unit, and is capable of accessing a customer master in which a billing destination is associated with each customer, a billing destination master in which a corporation and a C/M category are associated with each billing destination, and a customer product name master in which a product code, a customer part number, and a billing destination code are associated with each business partner, and is characterized in that it includes an acquisition step executed by the control unit, which refers to the customer master, the billing destination master, and the customer product name master, and acquires the billing destination corporation code corresponding to the input customer and the billing destination code corresponding to the input product code, a determination step which determines whether the corporation code matches the billing destination code in the customer product name master corresponding to the input product code, and an output step which outputs information indicating that there is an input restriction when the determination step determines that the corporation code does not match the billing destination code in the customer product name master corresponding to the input product code.

The genuine product distribution management program of the present invention is a genuine product distribution management method to be executed by a genuine product distribution management device having a control unit, and is capable of accessing a customer master in which a billing destination is associated with each customer, a billing destination master in which a corporation and a C/M category are associated with each billing destination, and a customer product name master in which a product code, a customer part number, and a billing destination code are associated with each business partner, and is characterized in that it includes an acquisition step for referencing the customer master, the billing destination master, and the customer product name master to be executed by the control unit, and acquiring a billing destination corporation code corresponding to the input customer and a billing destination code corresponding to the input product code, a determination step for determining whether the corporation code matches the billing destination code in the customer product name master corresponding to the input product code, and an output step for outputting information indicating that there is an input restriction when the determination step determines that the corporation code does not match the billing destination code in the customer product name master corresponding to the input product code.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment.

[1. Configuration]
An example of the configuration of a genuine product distribution management device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1 etc. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an overview in a block diagram of an example of the configuration of a genuine product distribution management device.

The genuine product distribution management device 100 shown in FIG. 1 is a commercially available desktop personal computer. Note that the genuine product distribution management device 100 is not limited to a stationary information processing device such as a desktop personal computer, but may be a portable information processing device such as a commercially available notebook personal computer, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), smartphone, or tablet personal computer.

The genuine product distribution management device 100 includes a control unit 102, a communication interface unit 104, a memory unit 106, and an input/output interface unit 108. Each unit included in the genuine product distribution management device 100 is connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via any communication path.

The communication interface unit 104 communicatively connects the genuine product distribution management device 100 to the network 300 via a communication device such as a router and a wired or wireless communication line such as a dedicated line. The communication interface unit 104 has a function of communicating data with other devices via the communication line. Here, the network 300 has a function of connecting the genuine product distribution management device 100 and the server 200 so that they can communicate with each other, and is, for example, the Internet or a LAN (Local Area Network). The data stored in the memory unit 106 may be stored in the server 200, for example.

An input device 112 and an output device 114 are connected to the input/output interface unit 108. The output device 114 may be a monitor (including a home television), a speaker, or a printer. The input device 112 may be a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, or a monitor that works with a mouse to provide a pointing device function. In the following, the output device 114 may be referred to as the monitor 114, and the input device 112 may be referred to as the keyboard 112 or the mouse 112.

The memory unit 106 stores various databases, tables, files, and the like. The memory unit 106 records computer programs that work with the OS (Operating System) to give instructions to the CPU (Central Processing Unit) to perform various processes. For example, memory devices such as RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read Only Memory), fixed disk devices such as hard disks, flexible disks, and optical disks can be used as the memory unit 106. The memory unit 106 stores a customer master 106a, a billing master 106b, a corporate master 106c, a customer billing master 106d, a product master 106e, and a customer product name master 106f.

The customer master 106a stores a billing destination associated with each customer. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a customer master table in the customer master 106a. In the first row of the customer master table T1 shown in FIG. 2, the customer "Manufacturer A" is stored in association with the billing destination "Manufacturer A."

The billing destination master 106b stores a corporation and a C/M category for each billing destination in association with each other. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a billing destination master table in the billing destination master 106b. The first row of the billing destination master table T2 shown in FIG. 3 stores the billing destination "Manufacturer A" in association with the corporation "Manufacturer A" and the C/M category "1: Manufacturer A".

The corporate master 106c stores the name of each corporation. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a corporate master table in the corporate master 106c. The first row of the corporate master table T3 shown in FIG. 4 stores the corporation "Manufacturer A."

The customer billing master 106d stores billing codes in association with each customer code. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a customer billing master table in the customer billing master 106d. In the first row of the customer billing master table T4 shown in FIG. 5, the customer code "Agent C" is stored in association with the billing code "Manufacturer A."

Product master 106e stores, for each product, a product type, a non-genuine flag, a genuine flag, and a C/M category in association with each other. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a product master table in product master 106e. The first row of product master table T5 shown in FIG. 6 stores product "12-0751-F1" in association with a product type "genuine product", a non-genuine flag "1: target" indicating that a non-genuine product can be sold as a genuine product, a genuine flag "1: target" indicating that it is a genuine product, and a C/M category "1: manufacturer A" indicating the designated distributor when numbering as a genuine product.

The customer product name master 106f stores the product, customer part number, and billing code in association with each other for each customer. Figure 7 is a diagram showing an example of a customer product name master table in the customer product name master 106f. The first row of the customer product name master table T6 shown in Figure 7 stores the product "13-0751-F1", customer part number "1511310750", and billing code "Manufacturer A" in association with the customer "Authorized Dealer C".

Returning to FIG. 1, the description of the configuration of the genuine product trade distribution management device 100 will be continued.
The control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that performs overall control of the genuine product distribution management device 100. The control unit 102 has an internal memory for storing control programs such as an OS, programs that define various processing procedures, and required data, and executes various information processing based on these stored programs. The control unit 102 has an acquisition unit 102a, a determination unit 102b, an output unit 102c, and a registration unit 102d.

The acquisition unit 102a refers to the customer master 106a, billing master 106b, and recipient product name master 106f, and acquires the corporate code corresponding to the customer input by the worker via the input device 112 and the billing code corresponding to the input product code.

The determination unit 102b determines whether the corporate code acquired by the acquisition unit 102a matches the billing code in the recipient product name master 106f corresponding to the input product code. The determination unit 102b also refers to the product master 106e to determine whether the products entered by the worker on the order input screen are all genuine products.

If the determination unit 102b determines that the corporate code does not match the billing code in the recipient product name master 106f corresponding to the input product code, the output unit 102c outputs information that there is an input restriction.

The registration unit 102d registers a slip corresponding to the input product code. Specifically, the registration unit 102d registers a slip whose contents correspond to the order entered on the order entry screen.

[2. Details of the process executed by the genuine product distribution management device]
Next, a description will be given of the processing executed by the genuine product distribution management device 100. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 8, first, the acquisition unit 102a refers to the customer master 106a, the billing master 106b, and the recipient product name master 106f, and acquires the corporate code corresponding to the customer input by the worker via the input device 112 and the billing code corresponding to the input product code (step S101).

Figure 9 shows an example of an order input screen when an operator inputs an order for an authorized dealer when the product is a genuine product. Note that Figure 9 describes an example of an order input screen for an order from authorized dealer C.

In the case shown in FIG. 9, first, the acquisition unit 102a refers to the customer master 106a and acquires the billing code "Authorized Dealer C" corresponding to the customer "Authorized Dealer C" entered by the worker on the order input screen P1. Then, the acquisition unit 102a refers to the billing master 106b and acquires the corporate code "Authorized Dealer C" corresponding to the billing code "Authorized Dealer C". Furthermore, the acquisition unit 102a refers to the customer product name master 106f and acquires the billing code "Manufacturer A" and customer product number "1511310750" corresponding to the product code "13-0751-F1".

Returning to FIG. 8, the description of step S102 and subsequent steps will be continued.
In step S102, the determination unit 102b refers to the product master 106e and determines whether the products input to the order entry screen P1 are only genuine products. Specifically, in the case shown in FIG. 9, the determination unit 102b refers to the product master 106e and determines that the products are only genuine products because the product type in the product master 106e corresponding to the product code "13-0751-F1" input to the order entry screen P1 is only "genuine products" and no other products are input to the order entry screen P1. If the determination unit 102b determines that the products input to the order entry screen P1 are only genuine products (step S102: Yes), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S103, which will be described later. On the other hand, if the determination unit 102b determines that the products input to the order entry screen P1 are not only genuine products (step S102: No), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S110, which will be described later.

In step S103, the determination unit 102b refers to the customer product name master 106f and determines whether the billing address corresponding to the product code of the product entered on the order entry screen P1 is the manufacturer's designated distributor. Specifically, in the case shown in FIG. 9, the determination unit 102b determines that the billing address is not the designated distributor because the billing address code in the customer product name master table T6 of the customer product name master 106f corresponding to the product code "13-0751-F1" entered on the order entry screen P1 is "Manufacturer A." If the determination unit 102b determines that the billing address corresponding to the product code entered on the order entry screen P1 is not the manufacturer's designated distributor (step S103: No), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S104, which will be described later.

In step S104, the determination unit 102b determines whether the corporation code and billing code entered on the order input screen P1 match. In the case shown in FIG. 9, the determination unit 102b determines that the corporation code and billing code do not match because the corporation code entered on the order input screen P1 is "Agent C" and the billing code is "Manufacturer A". If the determination unit 102b determines that the corporation code and billing code entered on the order input screen P1 match (step S104: Yes), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S105, which will be described later. On the other hand, if the determination unit 102b determines that the corporation code and billing code entered on the order input screen P1 do not match (step S104: No), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S106, which will be described later.

In step S105, the registration unit 102d registers the order slip entered on the order entry screen P1. After step S105, the genuine product distribution management device 100 ends this process.

In step S106, the output unit 102c refers to the customer billing destination master 106d and displays the billing destination code on the order input screen P1 as appropriate information to encourage the worker to make changes when there are input restrictions on the worker. For example, in the case shown in FIG. 9, the output unit 102c displays Manufacturer A on the order input screen P1. This allows the worker to recognize the input error because the appropriate billing destination code is displayed on the order input screen P1. After step S106, the genuine product distribution management device 100 ends this process.

Next, we will explain what happens when the determination unit 102b determines in step S103 that the billing address corresponding to the product entered on the order entry screen P1 is the manufacturer's designated distributor (step S103: Yes).

Figure 10 shows an example of the order input screen P1 when an operator inputs an order for a genuine product ordered by an authorized dealer and billed to a designated sales company of the manufacturer. Note that Figure 10 explains an example of the order input screen P1 for an order from authorized dealer C.

As shown in FIG. 10, if "Authorized Dealer C" is entered as the customer and "67103" is entered as the product code, the billing code in the customer product name master table T6 of the customer product name master 106f corresponding to the product code "67103" entered on the order input screen P1 is "Genuine Product Distributor B." Therefore, the determination unit 102b determines that it is a designated distributor. In other words, the determination unit 102b determines that the billing address corresponding to the product code entered on the order input screen P1 is the manufacturer's designated distributor (step S103: Yes). After step S103, the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S107, which will be described later.

Next, the determination unit 102b determines whether the corporation code and billing code entered on the order input screen P1 match (step S107). In the case shown in FIG. 10, the determination unit 102b determines that the corporation code "Agent C" and the billing code "Genuine Product Distributor B" do not match because the corporation code is "Authorized Dealer C" and the billing code is "Genuine Product Distributor B". If the determination unit 102b determines that the corporation code and the billing code entered on the order input screen P1 match (step S107: Yes), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S108, which will be described later. On the other hand, if the determination unit 102b determines that the corporation code and the billing code entered on the order input screen P1 do not match (step S107: No), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S109, which will be described later.

In step S108, the registration unit 102d registers the order slip entered on the order entry screen P1. After step S108, the genuine product distribution management device 100 ends this process.

In step S109, the output unit 102c refers to the customer billing destination master 106d and displays an appropriate billing destination code on the order input screen P1 as information to encourage the worker to make changes when there are input restrictions on the worker. For example, in the case shown in FIG. 10, the output unit 102c displays "genuine product distributor B" on the order input screen P1. This allows the worker to recognize the input error because the appropriate billing destination code is displayed on the order input screen P1. After step S109, the genuine product distribution management device 100 ends this process.

In step S110, the determination unit 102b determines whether the product codes entered by the worker on the order input screen P1 are a mixture of genuine and non-genuine products, etc.

Figure 11 is a diagram showing an example of an order input screen P1 when an operator places an order from an authorized dealer that contains a mixture of genuine and non-genuine products and has entered authorized dealer C as the billing destination. Note that Figure 11 explains an example of the order input screen P1 for an order from authorized dealer C.

In the case shown in FIG. 11, the judgment unit 102b refers to the product type in the product master table T5 (see FIG. 6) of the product master 106e, and judges whether the product code "13-0751-F1" and the product code "EXRR470" are genuine products. In the case of row "2" shown in FIG. 11, the judgment unit 102b judges that the product entered by the worker on the order input screen P1 is a mixture of genuine products and non-genuine products, because the product type of the product code "EXRR470" is a non-genuine part. If the judgment unit 102b judges that the product entered by the worker on the order input screen P1 is a mixture of genuine products and non-genuine products (step S110: Yes), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S111, which will be described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that the products entered by the worker on the order entry screen P1 are not a mixture of genuine and non-genuine products (step S110: No), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S114, which will be described later.

In step S111, the determination unit 102b determines whether the corporate code and billing code for each product entered by the worker on the order input screen P1 match.

First, we will explain the case of row number "1" shown in Figure 11. In this case, similar to step S104 described above, the judgment unit 102b refers to the customer product name master table T6 of the customer product name master 106f, and determines that the corporate code "authorized dealer C" and the billing code "manufacturer A" do not match, since the corporate code is "authorized dealer C" and the billing code is "manufacturer A".

Figure 12 shows an example of the order entry screen P1 when an operator places an order from an authorized dealer that contains a mixture of genuine and non-genuine products and enters the billing address as authorized dealer C.

In the case shown in FIG. 12, the non-genuine flag in the product master table T5 (see FIG. 6) corresponding to the product "EXRR470" is "1", but the C/M classification of the billing destination "Manufacturer A" in the billing destination master table T2 is "1: Manufacturer A", and the genuine flag in the product master table T5 is "0: Not applicable". Therefore, the determination unit 102b determines that the corporate code and billing destination code of each product do not match. If the determination unit 102b determines that the corporate code and billing destination code of each product entered by the worker on the order input screen P1 match (step S111: Yes), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S112, which will be described later. On the other hand, if the determination unit 102b determines that the corporate code and billing destination code of each product entered by the worker on the order input screen P1 do not match (step S111: No), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S113, which will be described later.

In step S112, the registration unit 102d separates and registers the genuine and non-genuine products of the order entered on the order entry screen P1 into separate slips. After step S105, the genuine product distribution management device 100 ends this process.

In step S113, the output unit 102c refers to the customer billing master 106d and displays the appropriate billing code on the order input screen P1. For example, in the case shown in FIG. 12, the output unit 102c displays Manufacturer A on the order input screen P1. Furthermore, the output unit 102c displays information on the order input screen P1 encouraging the user to register genuine and non-genuine products separately on separate slips. This allows the worker to recognize input errors and to understand that genuine and non-genuine products must be registered separately on separate slips. After step S106, the genuine product distribution management device 100 ends this process.

In step S114, the determination unit 102b refers to the product master 106e and determines whether the product type corresponding to the product code entered by the worker on the order entry screen is a non-genuine product.

Figure 13 is a diagram showing an example of the order entry screen P1 when the worker places an order from a dealer and the product is a non-genuine product. In the case shown in Figure 13, the judgment unit 102b judges that the product is a non-genuine part because the product type in the product master table T5 corresponding to the product "EXRR470" on the order entry screen P1 is "commercially available spring parts" and the non-genuine flag is "1: target". Furthermore, the judgment unit 102b judges that the billing destination code is not registered in the other party product name master 106f corresponding to the product "EXRR470" on the order entry screen, the non-genuine flag in the product master table T5 of the product master 106e is "1: target", and the C/M classification in the billing destination master table T2 is "0: non-manufacturer", so that the product can be sold. That is, the judgment unit 102b refers to the product master 106e and judges that the product type corresponding to the product code of the product entered by the worker on the order entry screen P1 is a non-genuine product. If the determination unit 102b determines that the product type corresponding to the product code of the product entered by the worker on the order input screen P1 is a non-genuine product (step S114: Yes), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S115, which will be described later. On the other hand, if the determination unit 102b determines that the product type corresponding to the product code of the product entered by the worker on the order input screen P1 is not a non-genuine product (step S114: No), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S116, which will be described later.

In step S115, the registration unit 102d registers the non-genuine slip entered on the order entry screen P1. After step S115, the genuine product distribution management device 100 ends this process.

In step S116, the determination unit 102b determines whether or not the product entered on the order input screen P1 can be sold as a non-genuine product. If the determination unit 102b determines that the product entered on the order input screen P1 can be sold as a non-genuine product (step S116: Yes), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S117, which will be described later. On the other hand, if the determination unit 102b determines that the product entered on the order input screen P1 cannot be sold as a non-genuine product (step S116: No), the genuine product distribution management device 100 ends this process.

In step S117, the determination unit 102b determines whether or not the person in question is other than the manufacturer.

Figure 14 is a diagram showing an example of the order input screen P1 when a worker sells a genuine product as a non-genuine product in response to an order from an authorized dealer. Note that Figure 14 explains the case of an order from an authorized dealer (Authorized Dealer E).

As shown in FIG. 14, a case will be described where "Authorized Dealer E" is entered as the customer and "13-0751-F1" is entered as the product code. In this case, the genuine flag in the product master table T5 (see FIG. 6) of the product master 106e corresponding to the product code "13-0751-F1" entered on the order entry screen P1 is "1: target", the non-genuine flag is "1: target", and the C/M classification in the billing destination master table T2 (see FIG. 3) of the billing destination master 106b is "0: non-manufacturer", so the judgment unit 102b judges that the product can be sold to the billing destination, authorized dealer E. That is, in the case shown in FIG. 14, the judgment unit 102b judges that the billing destination is non-manufacturer. If the judgment unit 102b judges that the billing destination is non-manufacturer (step S117: Yes), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S118 described later.

The following describes the case where the determination unit 102b determines in step S117 that the product is not from a manufacturer (step S117: No).

Figure 15 is a diagram showing an example of the order entry screen P1 when selling genuine parts in response to an order from a wholesaler. Note that Figure 15 explains the case of an order from a wholesaler (Wholesale F).

As shown in FIG. 15, a case will be described where "Wholesale F" is entered as the customer and "54028Z904" is entered as the product code. In this case, the genuine flag in the product master table T5 of the product master 106e corresponding to the product code "54028Z904" entered on the order entry screen P1 is "1: target", the non-genuine flag is "0: not target", and the C/M classification in the invoice master table T2 (see FIG. 3) of the invoice master 106b is "0: other than the manufacturer", so the determination unit 102b determines that the product cannot be sold to the invoice destination, the authorized dealer E. In other words, the determination unit 102b determines that the invoice destination is not a manufacturer. If the determination unit 102b determines that the invoice destination is not a manufacturer (step S117: No), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S119 described below.

In step S118, the registration unit 102d registers the invoice with the genuine product entered on the order entry screen P1 as a non-genuine product. After step S118, the genuine product distribution management device 100 ends this process.

In step S119, the output unit 102c displays on the order entry screen P1 a message indicating that there are restrictions on the entry of genuine parts. This allows the worker to recognize the input error. After step S119, the genuine product distribution management device 100 ends this process.

According to the embodiment described above, when the output unit 102c determines that the billing corporation code corresponding to the customer input by the determination unit 102b does not match the billing code in the recipient product name master corresponding to the input product code, the output unit 102c outputs information that there is an input restriction, which reduces the amount of work and the number of input errors by the worker.

In addition, according to the embodiment, when the determination unit 102b determines that the billing corporation code corresponding to the customer does not match the billing code in the recipient product name master 106f corresponding to the input product code, the output unit 102c refers to the customer master 106a and outputs the billing address corresponding to the billing code in the recipient product name master 106f, thereby reducing input errors by the worker.

In addition, according to the embodiment, when the output unit 102c determines that the billing code in the recipient product name master 106f corresponding to the product code input by the determination unit 102b is a manufacturer, the output unit 102c outputs information indicating that there is an input restriction, thereby reducing input errors by the worker.

In addition, according to the embodiment, when the output unit 102c determines that the billing code in the customer product name master 106f corresponding to the product code input by the determination unit 102b is a designated distributor, the output unit 102c outputs a message indicating that there is an input restriction, thereby reducing input errors by the operator.

In addition, according to the embodiment, when the output unit 102c determines that genuine and non-genuine products are mixed by the determination unit 102b, the output unit 102c outputs information that prompts the user to separate and register the genuine and non-genuine products on different slips, thereby reducing the number of steps and reducing input errors by the worker.

In addition, according to the embodiment, when the determination unit 102b determines that genuine and non-genuine products are mixed, and a C/M category in the billing master corresponding to the billing code in the recipient product name master 106f corresponding to the product code of the genuine product is specified, the output unit 102c outputs information that there is an input restriction. This makes it possible to reduce input errors by the worker.

In addition, according to the embodiment, when the determination unit 102b determines that the product is a non-genuine product in the product master 106e corresponding to the product code input, and the registration unit 102d determines that the C/M category in the billing master 106b corresponding to the billing code corresponding to the input product code is other than the manufacturer, the registration unit 102d automatically registers a slip corresponding to the input product code. This makes it possible to reduce the amount of work required by workers.

In addition, according to the embodiment, when the product master 106e corresponding to the input product code indicates a genuine product, when selling the product as a non-genuine product, the determination unit 102b refers to the product master 106e and the billing destination master 106b to determine whether the product can be sold, thereby reducing input errors by the worker.

In addition, according to the embodiment, when the product master 106e corresponding to the input product code is a genuine part, when selling it as a genuine part, the determination unit 102b refers to the product master 106e and the billing destination master 106b to determine whether it is available for sale, thereby reducing input errors by the worker.
