Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a material integration / split ordering system and method for collecting orders or distributing risks of a plurality of systems having different material codes.
[0002]
[Prior art]
At present, computer systems and electronic data interchange systems have also been developed in purchasing materials, which are useful for accuracy, labor saving, and proper delivery time management. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a configuration of a conventional material purchasing system as the first conventional example. In the figure, the A office 20a and the B office 20b place an order for materials from the C company 31, the D company 32, and the E company 33, which are business partners. Those data are transmitted to the EDI 912 as a centralized management system as 21a and 21b and managed. The EDI 912 includes an ordering unit 931 for company C that uses a line, an ordering unit 932 for company D, an ordering unit 933 for company E that uses the Internet, and a sorting processing unit 914 that sorts these ordering relationships. .
[0003]
The system operation at the time of ordering based on this configuration will be described.
Although not shown, the A office 20a has another system such as production management inside, and the material code system of the A office is defined thereby. Similarly, the material code system of B office takes another form different from that of A office. As a result of the rationalization involving these production, sales and distribution being carried out independently for each business site, the code system is not compatible between the business sites.
In this way, orders from business offices to business partners C or E are made with their own codes. The EDI 912 as a centralized management system performs ordering and management through each ordering unit as necessary, but selection of the ordering party is mainly performed by each business office.
In addition, the material code at the time of ordering is a code determined by the system on the establishment side. However, for the convenience of the supplier who is the purchaser, there is a case where the contractor name code provided by the supplier is also written. .
[0004]
As a prior art relating to code conversion, as a second conventional example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-143624 discloses a technique for converting an orderer's material code presented at the time of ordering into its own product name code. ing. However, this prevents careless mistakes and shortening the time does not mean more than just transcoding. Further, this is a necessary technique because the code presented at the time of ordering is the code of the orderer. From a different perspective, it shows that a mechanism for trading with the product name code determined by the contractor is waiting from the beginning.
[0005]
There is a system that attempts to increase added value using code conversion in a field completely different from the material system. As a third conventional example, FIG. 17 is a diagram showing a concept of code change of a code conversion system by an intermediate trader in the apparel industry disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-259442. In the figure, reference numeral 801 denotes a product code input from an apparel manufacturer, and reference numeral 802 denotes a VAS unified code fetched by an intermediate VAS company. At this stage, a portion 811 is added as a symbol commonly indicating subsequent products. On the other hand, a code in the format 803 with its own code added is used from the retail store. By accessing the VAS, the apparel manufacturer can find out, for example, the sales and sales trends of all retail stores. In addition, the retail store can instantly know, for example, the manufacturer stock by accessing the VAS. However, in both apparel manufacturers and retail stores, information is exchanged using the VAS unified code 811 as a common code. Moreover, it is used as a conversion tool for simple search from one side.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The conventional material code system is configured as described above, and each ordering source has a complex production system. Therefore, these codes are integrated into one type, and the ordering data of multiple ordering sources is collected. There was a problem that it could not be integrated.
Further, since the orderer code is used when placing an order, there is a problem that the code conversion system shown in the second conventional example needs to be operated for each contractor.
Alternatively, the code conversion system in which retail and apparel manufacturers (manufacturers) share sales and manufacturing information by integrating codes with each other is intended to collect information, have different effects, and share users at both ends. In order to use the integrated code, it must be operated with another type of VAS unified code separately from the original code.
[0007]
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and is a material procurement system in which orders are integrated by converting codes of a plurality of ordering sources into a common business partner, that is, a code unique to the contractor, or risk distribution. Get the way.
[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiment 1 FIG.
It is effective to unify the material codes, but if a new common code is assigned for this purpose and unification is forced, a great deal of labor and time is required, which is not practical. We want to obtain the same effect as unification with a system with less burden and less changes. Therefore, a system that integrates material orders that are ordered from multiple new offices and that are assigned different codes, aiming at cost reduction due to mass ordering and delivery, integrated acceptance inspection, or split ordering with distributed risk Will be explained. In addition, by doing this, for example, it is possible to grasp the usage amount of a specific item, make a strategic purchase from another viewpoint, grasp the statistics, and the like. In the past, this was a separate task and was very burdensome.
In order to unify the material codes without providing a new unified code, it is preferable to use the contractor product name code that has been conventionally provided by a business partner that is a unique code as the unified code.
The reason why such a method has not been seen so far is that it is a code originally provided by a business partner and not intended to be disclosed to the outside. In addition, it is necessary for the orderer to obtain confirmation by telephone, FAX, or a meeting with the customer prior to placing the order. In this embodiment, a conversion table (master) that solves this problem and integrates is generated and prepared to realize an integrated order.
[0021]
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a material ordering and management system according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing details of the name identification inquiry / registration processing unit and an ordering processing unit not shown in FIG. In the figure, 11 is a new important component, a name collation inquiry / registration unit, 12 is an EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) for electronically placing and managing orders by a computer, and the name collation inquiry / registration unit 11 is actually also It is provided in this EDI. Reference numeral 13 denotes a sorting unit for sorting data, and 131 to 133 denote an ordering unit (mailbox) for company C, an ordering unit for company D, and an ordering unit for company E, respectively. Compared to the conventional configuration, the name identification query creation / answer data reception function has increased. Reference numeral 15 denotes an order processing unit, and reference numerals 31 to 33 denote suppliers C, D, and E which are suppliers of materials. Reference numerals 20a and 20b denote an office A and an office B that directly require materials. From these offices, order data 21a and 21b are sent to the name reference registration processing unit, and are sent to each customer after the order processing. 110a, 110b, and 110c are transaction data of A office, B office, and C office, respectively, 111 is a data collection unit, 112 is a processing determination unit, 113 is a name identification reference data creation unit, 114 is a name identification master registration unit, 115 Is a name identification master, 116 is name identification inquiry data, 117 is name identification response data, 130a is an EDI / Web inquiry unit, and 130b is an EDI / Web reception unit.
Reference numeral 15 denotes an order processing unit that is an important element along with the name identification inquiry / registration processing unit 11 in the present embodiment, and includes an integrated order processing unit 151, a distributed order processing unit 152, and a risk distribution 153. Competitive effect criteria table. This is also actually provided in the EDI 12.
[0022]
3 and 4 are flowcharts showing name identification master registration electronically performed by the name identification inquiry / registration processing unit 11 and ordering processing electronically performed by the ordering processing unit 15 in the system of the present embodiment. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of transaction data for explaining the operation, FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of data in the name identification master, and FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of name identification inquiry data and name identification response data. is there. In FIG. 6, 251 is a code indicating A71 is a business establishment, A81 is a business establishment such as a business establishment B, 252 is a material code used by the business establishment, 253 is a purchaser company C, D company, etc. The supplier code 254 representing the supplier is a manufacturer model name code, and stores a code provided by the manufacturer. Reference numeral 255 denotes a flag indicating whether or not the name identification master is to be used at the time of ordering. The non-target flag 1 is used if it is not an object of integrated purchase, and it is blank if the product is an object of integrated purchase. 256 is assigned for statistical processing as necessary, and is a unified code for statistical use. The numbers and meanings in FIGS. 5 and 7 will be described in the description of the operation.
[0023]
The operation will be described with reference to these drawings.
First, the name identification master creation operation will be described. That is, data is registered in the name identification master. In FIG. 3, in step S301 (hereinafter step description is omitted), transaction data 21a and 21b from each business office such as A and B are collected by the data collection unit 111 in the EDI. These transaction data are in the data format shown in FIG. 212 is a code indicating the name of the place of business that is the ordering source, 213 is a code indicating the name of the supplier of the ordering party, 214 is a name of the ordering item (material) code, 215 is a name code provided by the supplier (manufacturer type) Name code 216 is a unified code assigned for statistical processing or the like. In the past, for the convenience of the contractor, for example, each business office has made an effort to designate a material code and a manufacturer model name with respect to the supplier C, for example.
The process determination unit 112 performs the processes from S302 to S307. In S302, the material code 214 is not assigned to the transaction data. The item 1 is regarded as a temporary purchase and is not registered in S321. Go to see the name identification master in S303. In FIG. Although the manufacturer model name 2 is also blank, the out-of-target flag 255 is 1, and the out-of-target (S322) is set in S303.
If the out-of-target flag 255 of the name identification master is blank, that is, if it is a periodic order material, it is checked in S304 if the manufacturer model name code 254 has already been registered. If it is not registered in S305 and is not only in the name identification master, in S306, this is taken from the contractor product name code existing in the transaction data, and the name identification master registration unit 114 registers it in the name identification master 115.
If it is a periodic order product and the contractor product name code is unknown in S304, name collation inquiry data described later is created and inquired and output to the corresponding business partner.
[0024]
When the name identification master 115 is thus created, the EDI performs a material ordering process with respect to the business partner by starting up the computer. FIG. 4B is an operation flowchart of the integrated / separated ordering process.
In step S331, the integrated order processing unit 151 totals orders of a plurality of business offices that are collected within a predetermined period from the entry date described in the order data 21a of the business office A or the like. In S332, referring to the name identification master, if there is a product name with the same manufacturer model name code 254, the orders are integrated and output. No. of FIG. 4, the manufacturer model name JHCD04 of the same business partner AAAAA as the other A office (A71) is ordered and output. These are examples of integration. In S333, the distributed processing means 152 decides the distributed order by referring to the risk dispersion competition effect standard 153 in consideration of the risk of ordering to the same manufacturer and price competition, and if there is another customer with the same product in S334. If so, place a distributed order. No. of FIG. 5 indicates that the same item with the material code 252 is purchased from another business partner at the B office (A81). In this way, distributed ordering becomes possible.
The business partner is not forced to use the standardization code, and only needs to use his / her maker model name without any burden. On the other hand, in principle, the orderer does not use a new standardized code, but can use the existing manufacturer model names for integration and bulk purchase. In other words, the price can be expected to decrease, the total amount used across multiple offices can be grasped, an effective purchasing strategy can be established, and the amount used can be easily managed and statistically processed.
[0025]
Next, the operation of the name identification inquiry to supplement the shortage data of the name identification master will be described. If the maker model name code 254 is missing because it is unknown in the name identification master 115 and the non-target flag 255 is blank, the continuous ordering is performed. Therefore, the manufacturer model name is required immediately. This is known in S304 and S307 in FIG. 3, and the name collation data creation unit 113 generates the name collation data 116 in FIG. 7A in S311 in FIG. In this name identification reference data 116, the orderer code 262 is used as the code of the management department that manages the name identification master, and the answer is received from the management department. The orderer code 263 is a business partner, and the orderer product name code 264 is, for example, the office code 266 (A71 in this case) of the office A that orders it. These data are inquired from the EDI / Web inquiry unit 130a to the corresponding business partner, for example, Company C 31, via a line if it is a terminal or via the Internet.
Data that is monitored regularly, and the response of the desired manufacturer model name from the business partner in S313 from the EDI and Web receiver 130b is written in the form of FIG. Then, the name identification master registration unit 114 registers in S314 by the same operation as S306.
Here, supplementation of missing data has been described, but it is also possible to periodically inquire and update to the latest data.
[0026]
One important element of this system is the name identification master. Therefore, it is important to supplement missing data. A method of mechanically prompting these replenishments will be described.
FIG. 8 is an operation flow chart for prompting the supplement of the missing data. In the ordering operation flow shown in FIG. 3, those having no contractor product name (manufacturer model name) code are extracted in S307, and name identification data is created in S311 in FIG. S401 in FIG. 8 is the same as S311. In this routine, the number of inquiries is further counted in S402. If it is determined that the number of times of dunning is required, unanswered dunning data (list) is generated for the business partner in S403. In S404, it is transmitted from the EDI / Web inquiry unit 130a.
When an answer result is received via the EDI / Web receiver 130b in S405, the name identification master is updated in S412 if the information of the insufficient data is supplemented in S406.
If the content is unsatisfactory in S406 and there are other business partners with the same product name, the business partner of the corresponding product name may be deleted from the name identification master as necessary in S407.
[0027]
Furthermore, a device for maintaining the name identification master and suppressing an increase in the amount of information will be described. That is, a method for mechanically deleting materials that have not been ordered for a long time from the target will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation. FIG. 9A shows a preparation for deletion, and a step of recording the reference date of S421 that an order is made with reference to the name identification master even if the name identification master is registered in S305 of FIG. 3 is added.
On the other hand, in FIG. 9B, deletion processing of unused items of the name identification master is started for a considerably long period, for example, every six months. The search is started in S431, the item of each product name is scanned, and the latest inquiry date is extracted in S432. The product name that has been extracted in S434 and has not been referred to for a long time is inquired again in S437. Then, it is examined later by human hand, or is inputted separately after the examination, and is deleted from the name identification master in S436.
In this way, an increase in the capacity of the name identification master is suppressed.
Although the above embodiment has been described as a system, the operation flow shown in FIG. 3 and the following figures is provided by using a general-purpose computer to provide a name identification master without configuring the system using such dedicated means. Even if it is made to perform, an equivalent effect is acquired.
Although the ordering source is described as an establishment, the same effect can be obtained even if it is another company.
[0028]
Embodiment 2. FIG.
In the previous embodiment, the basic system has been described. Here, the delivery date of the procured goods will be summarized to further rationalize by ordering large quantities, and details of placing orders in order to distribute the risk or placing orders to alternatives will be described. The system configuration diagram in the present embodiment is the same as that in FIG. 1, but the order processing unit 15b has several tables and masters as described below, and has an increased function.
FIG. 10 is an operation flow diagram in the present embodiment of the distributed order processing means 152b performed by the computer in the same manner as the integrated order processing means 151b performed by the computer in FIG. The delivery date setting rule table 620 in FIG. 12 and the delivery location setting master table 630 in FIG. 13 are tables that are referred to by the integrated order processing unit 151b in the operation flow, and are included in the order processing unit 15b in the present embodiment. It is added and provided. 15 is a table that is referred to by the distributed order processing means 152b in the operation flow diagram, and is also provided in the order processing section 15b. In FIG. 12, an office delivery date column 621 which is an order source of the delivery date rule stores a delivery date actually required by the office, for example, October 15th. Further, in FIG. 13, a delivery location 631 that is actually required by each office and a delivery location 632 that is designated as an integrated acceptance location for the efficiency of acceptance inspection as a system are stored as a pair. Has been.
[0029]
FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining the integrated ordering operation in the present embodiment. FIG. 14A shows transaction data in which the items of the orderer code 652 to the material code 654 are ordered with different delivery dates 658, and FIG. 14B is summarized in the operation flow of FIG. Shows things.
The operation of the system in this embodiment will be described.
The order integration processing unit 151b collects the transaction data (establishment / order data) shown in FIG. 11 from each establishment 110 in FIG. 1 in S501 in FIG. 10, recognizes the delivery date, and designates each establishment as the orderer. The order data shown in FIG. Looking at the transaction data, in the case of the figure, the material code HHCD02 from the establishment 108420171 has two different delivery dates, with different ordering units on October 15th and October 10th, and the same item from the other establishment 108420172 Has been placed on October 12th, it is recognized and order data is created. In step S502, the order integration processing unit 151b refers to the delivery date setting rule table 620 shown in FIG. 12 that summarizes to the earliest delivery date among the integration targets. In step S503, the delivery date is set to the earliest on October 10th. Then, the number of orders is collected as shown in FIG. Even when an item with the same material code is ordered, if a delivery date is specified with a predetermined width, for example, more than one month, a delivery date for a different zone is set in S511.
[0030]
The reception location is set to centralized reception separately from the actual location of each office. Accordingly, referring to the delivery location setting master 630 of FIG. 13 in S504, if the delivery location 632 notified to the business partner can be delivered to the place of ordering, the delivery location 632 integrated with the contractor is set in S512. . If there is an exception for integrated delivery in the office / order data, the delivery location specified in the orderer's order information in S505 is set as it is.
The order processing unit 15b selects the supplier 111111 with reference to the priority column 720 of the compatible product table and the priority table 700 in FIG. In this case, the compatible manufacturer 222222 entered in the compatible manufacturer code field 718 is the second priority business partner, and for other products, HHCD03, the compatible manufacturer 222222 has the second highest priority and the compatible manufacturer 333333. Is the 3rd priority. Further, the delivery date is confirmed in S521, and if the delivery date of the first priority manufacturer is in time, the delivery date is selected in S522. If not, the next priority manufacturer is selected in S523. The supply capability is checked in S524, and if supply is possible, the contractor is set in SS525. If the supply capacity is exceeded in S524, the next priority order manufacturer is selected in S526.
Thus, the batch ordering by the order processing unit 151b and the distributed processing unit 152b is finished, and the batch order data 660 of FIG. 14B is output.
Here, an example of alternative selection of a manufacturer based on priority is shown, but distributed ordering in the first embodiment assuming risk distribution may be used in combination.
[0031]
In these embodiments, for example, the case where the headquarters where the EDI is placed performs integrated / distributed ordering has been described. However, a collective ordering system is provided in another procurement contractor organization, and the procurement contractor company collectively orders. May be performed.
Furthermore, such other companies have previously placed orders with the contractor (business partner), and have already explained that there is an order from each office (orderer) to another company with the company's material code. It is also possible to trace back the system and deliver the pre-ordered corresponding item to the office based on the name identification master.
[0032]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, a name identification master that associates a product name code and an orderer product name code that are uniquely provided by a business partner, and a means and order that integrates material ordering of the same contractor product name code based thereon. Since the means for dividing is provided, the burden of code conversion of the business partner is eliminated, and the work after ordering from a plurality of ordering sources is streamlined, which has a great effect on time reduction and extinction of work mistakes.
There is no need for the supplier (ordering party) manufacturer to replace the company code, and the orderer does not need to create and add a new standard code. There is no need to check the code against the manufacturer's part code, and if any one of the orderers knows the contractor's code even once, or if it knows the compatible product code or compliant standard of the compatible manufacturer, then In addition, it has the effect of expanding suppliers over a wide range, and has the effect of gaining economies of scale.
