  The price 1517 indicates the price of one piece of the material indicated by the part number 1511.

  In the process of step S72 and step S73, the order processing unit 1500 registers the record in which the product number 1511 and the required number 1512 are set in the material list 1510 or changes the number set as the required number 1512 .

  Next, the order processing unit 1500 refers to the outer box material information table 8210, the inner tray material information table 8220, the confectionery material information table 8230, and the decoration material information table 8240 stored in the material information storage unit 8200, and the part number 1511 The stock quantity 1513 and the shortage quantity 1514 are set in the records of all materials set as. If all the materials are in stock, that is, if the shortage number 1514 is "0 (zero)" (step S74: Yes), the order processing unit 1500 determines today as the scheduled shipping date (step S75).

  On the other hand, if there is an insufficient material (step S74: No), the order processing unit 1500 requests the shipping scheduled date calculation unit 1800 to calculate the shipping scheduled date (step S76).

  Here, the shipping date calculation processing performed by the shipping date calculation unit 1800 will be described using FIGS. 15 and 16.

  The planned shipping date calculation unit 1800 indicates that the identifier set as the product number 1511 of the material list 1510 is a material having no time limit, that is, a material other than a confectionery material, and the shortage number 1514 is larger than “0 (zero)”. The scheduled arrival date calculation unit 1700 is requested to calculate the first scheduled arrival date when all the missing materials are ordered for the materials for which the number is set. The scheduled arrival date calculation unit 1700 that has received the request performs the first scheduled arrival date calculation process, and calculates the first scheduled arrival date (step S80: Yes, step S81).

  Here, the estimated arrival date calculation process will be described with reference to FIG. The scheduled arrival date calculation unit 1700 first refers to the table of the insufficient materials stored in the material information storage unit 8200 for one insufficient material, for example, the internal tray material information table 8220 etc. Determine an estimated arrival date when placing an order (step 90). For example, when one of the inner trays having the material identifier "T002" is not enough, "5" is set as the delivery date period 8226 in the record in which "T002" is set as the product number 8221 of the inner tray material information table 8220 (FIG. 5). Since “August 5, 2015” is set, “August 5, 2015” will arrive five days after ordering today, so it will arrive on August 10, 2015. Therefore, the estimated arrival date calculating unit 1700 sets “August 10, 2015” as the arrival date 1515 of the record in which “T002” is set as the item number 1511 of the material list 1510. If the number of shortages exceeds the maximum number that can be received by the material provider (Step S91: No), ordering is repeated until the required number of pieces is ready (Step S91: Yes). For example, if the number set as the shortage number 1514 is one more than the number set as the maximum number of orders received 8225 in the inner tray material information table 8220, order will be made twice, so after 10 days Is the arrival date. In this way, the estimated arrival date calculating unit 1700 obtains the estimated arrival date when all materials without a shortage of consumption date have been ordered, and the latest arrival date among these arrival dates is the first estimated arrival date. decide.

  The estimated arrival date calculating unit 1700 that has completed the process of step S81 in FIG. 15 passes the calculated estimated arrival date to the estimated shipping date calculation unit 1800. The planned shipping date calculation unit 1800 that has received the first scheduled arrival date indicates that the identifier set as the product number 1511 is a material having a due date, that is, a confectionery material, and the shortage number 1514 is larger than “0 (zero)”. About the confectionery material which the number has set, calculation of the 2nd arrival scheduled date at the time of ordering all the materials which run short is requested to the arrival scheduled date calculation part 1700. The scheduled arrival date calculation unit 1700 that receives the request calculates the second scheduled arrival date and passes the calculated second scheduled arrival date to the scheduled shipping date calculation unit 1800, as described with reference to FIG. Step S82: Yes, Step S83).

  The planned shipping date calculation unit 1800 having received the first and second scheduled arrival dates determines the later scheduled arrival date as the planned shipping date (step S84). The planned shipping date calculation unit 1800 having determined the scheduled shipping date next determines whether the determined shipping scheduled date is before the shipping deadline set as the shipping deadline 1516 for the confectionery material set as the part number 1511 If it is before (step S85: Yes), the determined shipping scheduled date is taken as the shipping scheduled date as it is. On the other hand, if the planned shipping date is later than the shipping deadline of any confectionery material (step S85: No), it is assumed that the confectionery material whose shipping scheduled date is later than the shipping deadline runs out, The processing from S82 is performed to calculate the planned shipping date. That is, the planned shipping date calculation unit 1800 is a day when all the materials that make up the assortment are provided to the creation location, and the expiration date (the expiration date of the confectionery) for all the confectionery having the expiration date (the usage period). The date (the day when the consumption period of all the confectionery remains for the predetermined period or more) before the predetermined period from the) is calculated as the shipping date.

  The planned shipping date calculation unit 1800 having determined the planned shipping date passes the determined shipping scheduled date to the order processing unit 1500.

  At this point, the process of step S76 in FIG. 14 ends.

  The order processing unit 1500 that has received the scheduled shipping date calculates detailed data to be displayed in the order information display area 60 of the assortment order screen WIN (step S77). For example, the order processing unit 1500 calculates, for each record in the material list 1510, a subtotal obtained by multiplying the number set as the required number 1512 and the price set as the price 1517, and adds up the subtotals of all the records. Calculate the amount of the assortment. In addition, the order processing unit 1500 calculates the expiration date of each confectionery material from the date when the identifier set as the product number 1511 is set as the shipping deadline 1516 for the record of the confectionery material, and the nearest date is the expiration date Ask as.

  The order processing unit 1500 transmits detailed data such as the estimated shipping date, the total amount of money, and the like to the assortment purchaser terminal device 3000 (step S78).

  The order processing unit 3300 of the assortment purchaser terminal device 3000 having received the detailed data displays the data in the order information display area 60 based on the received detailed data (step S63).

  As described above, according to the assortment sales system 100, the user can purchase a desired assortment of goods even if the goods have expiration dates such as expiration dates.
