Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Summary] In a system in which a plurality of item codes are assigned to one transport item, one common item code is assigned to one transport item, and automatic transmission is performed from the input item code. An item information management control system that obtains a common item code, adds it to the information of the transport item, and stores it, thereby facilitating the management of not only the item code of each route but also each transport item regardless of the route.

[Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to a transportation management system that manages transportation articles (or transportation items), and more particularly to an item information management control method of a transportation management system that facilitates management of each item and has good input operability.

[Technological background]

In general, large and small articles or frozen foods are transported using liner routes, etc., and the amount of each transport item, transport fee, transport route, shipper, etc. are input and stored as data, 2. Description of the Related Art There is known a transportation management system that performs total tabulation, classification tabulation, and the like periodically and at an arbitrary time, and outputs and manages them.

In addition, in the transportation industry, the shipping companies that are in charge of transportation for each transport route form different alliances for each transport route of transport items, for example, North American routes, European routes, and Australian transport routes. An item code is assigned to each transport line for each transport item.

Therefore, different item codes are assigned to one item for each route.

(Prior art)

 FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of a conventional transportation management system.

In this figure, when contracting and managing transport items at a shipping agent, etc., first enter them based on a form in which the code of the transport route, the item name of the transport item, the item code, the number of transported or the quantity, etc. are entered. From the apparatus, the operator inputs all information D on the form described above regarding the item code k and the ordered item.

The registration unit 2 stores the information in the external storage device 3 for each contract or one contract item.

Such a registration operation is performed every time the transportation is contracted, and is stored in the external storage device 3.

On the other hand, when performing classification and aggregation based on the information formed in the external storage device 3, an item code k serving as a search key is input from the input device 4 (however, the input device 1 may be used in some cases).

Thereby, the search device 5 searches the external storage device 3,
The record of the unit having the corresponding key is extracted, and the processing device 6
Hand over to

The processing device 6 waits for the information D of the unit record, for example, sums up information such as the order quantity, or accumulates the number of contracts for each shipper, and outputs it to an output device (not shown) such as a display device or a printer.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional transport management system described above, since a plurality of item codes are assigned to one item as described in the section of the background of the technology, when the items are classified and totaled for each item, 1 It is necessary to select an item code for each route for each article and to input each item from an input device, which has a disadvantage that the operation is complicated.

In addition, it is conceivable to automatically obtain and search multiple applicable item codes from the input of item names etc. when performing classification and tallying, etc.At the time of search, multiple item codes and records of each unit are compared and collated. There is a problem that the search time is required because it is necessary to perform the search.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an item information management control method for a transportation management system which can solve the above-mentioned conventional disadvantages and can easily manage items.

[Configuration of the invention]

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, in FIG. 1, a common item code K common to each transportation item is stored,
A conversion unit 8 for converting the input item code k into a common item code K, and a unit 2 for storing the converted common item code K, the item code k, and the information D on the transportation items in the storage device 3 are provided. There is a feature in the point.

[Action]

In the present invention, in FIG. 1, a corresponding common item code K is automatically generated by inputting an item code k, and the common item code K and the item code k are added to information D of the transport item and stored.

As a result, one common item code exists in each unit record for the same item, and when searching for each item, if the common item code K is input from the input device 1, the search device 5 receives 1 item. It only needs to compare two codes with the unit record information.

Therefore, the initial registration operation is the same as the conventional operation, and the operation for managing the search and the like and the search device at that time can be shortened.

〔Example〕

FIG. 3 is a block diagram for explaining a main part of FIG. 1, particularly for explaining control up to registration in an external storage device.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 7 denotes a processing unit which performs processing by a program such as an electronic computer.

In the drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same components.

In FIG. 2, the conversion section 8 is provided with a conversion table 8a, and the following information is stored in the conversion table 8a.

In the storage area 81, the common item code, in the area 82, the alliance code specifying the transportation route, in the area 83, the above-described item code assigned to each transportation route, and in the area 84, the character code of the item name. In area 85, the fare for each unit of transportation is
Is the code of the name of the company that handles the transportation of goods on the transportation route
. Are stored respectively.

Also, this table 8a stores, for each item,
The first item in the figure is "K1, a, k1, color TV, XX yen / unit, A shipping, B shipping ..." and the next item is "K1, b, k2 , Color TV, △△
＄ / vehicle, A shipping, Z shipping ... ”...

As a result, common item codes K1, K2, ..., alliance code a,
By inputting information of one or more combinations of b,..., item codes k1, k2,..., it becomes possible to read information of other areas.

That is, this table contains 1 for each identical item.
Two common item codes are assigned.

For example, the same code K1 for all “color televisions” is the same code for all “computers”
Even if the item code is different and the item code is different, the same item is handled by the same common item code.

When the amount of converted data is large, the table 8a is configured as a file format by a file storage device such as a magnetic disk device.

Hereinafter, the operation of the system of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

From the keyboard 1a constituting the input device 1, an alliance code such as an alliance code a and an item code such as an item code kj entered in an order form, for example, a form such as a bill of lading, as described above, are input.

The alliance code a and the item code kj correspond to the processing unit 7 shown in FIG.
Is stored in the input buffer memory 7a.

The search unit 8b searches the table 8a using the item code kj and the alliance code a stored in the input buffer memory 7a.

The search unit 8b includes, among the information read from the table 8a, the data in the item code area 83 or the alliance code area 82.
Then, the data read from the item code area 83 is compared with each code stored in the input buffer memory 7a to check whether or not they match.

If there is a match, other information read together with the matched information, that is, if the alliance code is “a” and the item code is “k1” as described above, the common item code K2, the item name “computer”, and the fare “XX yen” / Unit ", handling company name" A shipping, B
Shipping ... "and others are the third in the processing device 7 shown in FIG.
It is supplied to an input data creation unit 7b shown in the figure.

Further, the common code K2 is supplied to the editing unit 2a. The input data creation unit 7b transmits the information to a display device constituting the input device 1.
In addition to displaying the information on the display 1b, other information input from the keyboard 1a based on the display, for example, information on the shipper, the transportation amount, etc. is processed.

As this process, for example, multiplying the input transportation volume by the transportation fee of the unit transportation volume to obtain the total transportation fee, transferring the total transportation fee to the buffer 7c, and reading the input handling company code from the table 8a Inspection of whether or not it is a contractor is included.

The editing unit 2a uses the common item code K2 supplied from the search unit 8b.
And the information stored in the input buffer memory 7a and the information created by the input data creation unit 7c and stored in the buffer 7c.

For example, the common item code obtained by the search unit 8b is input into an input buffer such as an item code, an alliance code, a transportation amount, and a shipper code.
The information is added to the head of the so-called input information composed of the information stored in the buffer 7c and the information stored in the buffer 7c such as the total fare.

The information edited by the editing unit 2a is supplied to the storage unit 2b as a unit record.

The storage unit 2b stores each record of the unit supplied from the editing unit 2a in the storage device 3 of FIG. 1, for example, a storage device such as a magnetic disk storage device.

In FIG. 1, when searching for information for each item from the information stored as described above, the operator inputs a common item code K from the input device 4 (the input device 1 may be used in some cases).
Enter

Since the common item code K is a code independent of the transportation route and is stored in the record of each unit created as described above, the search unit 5 stores the record having the corresponding common item code in the storage unit 3. Search and extract from the stored information group.

Also, when searching for a specific item on a specific route,
Alliance code and item code are entered in the record of each unit at the time of registration operation, and they are registered, so even if each item code is specified, it can be searched by the search unit, and the operator can check the item code of each route. If is complicated, if the common item code and the alliance code are input, the search unit can search based on both codes.

Note that, in the above-described embodiment, a description has been given only of a case where a file search is performed by designating key information from a keyboard. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.
The search may be automatically performed for each common item code.

〔effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the common item code is automatically generated at the time of inputting the item for storing the item information, and is stored in the storage device together with the input information. Becomes
