[1. overview]
First, an overview of the present invention will be explained.

Previously, in inventory management, if you tried to set the master data at the granularity of the billing party (receivable party) and customer (sales management party) that you originally wanted to set, it was not possible to effectively utilize the inventory securing function. In consideration of utilizing the inventory securing function, the business partner system was managed one level down. As a result, in the past, it was not possible to manage receivables and sales performance as originally desired.

Therefore, in this embodiment, when we receive a provisional order or an order to secure inventory from a company that operates many stores, we do not send the order to each store, but to the other party. In many cases, arrangements are made within the company and orders are received on a billing party (receivables) basis, so we create secured data on a billing party basis at the time of ordering on a billing party basis, and make formal arrangements for each customer (store). When an order arrives, we provide a system that automatically transfers the reserved inventory from the inventory secured at the billing party level to the orders at the linked customer level.

Based on the inventory securing data stored in the transaction database 106b, the order receiving unit 102b determines whether it is possible to transfer an amount equivalent to the number of orders from the number of billing destinations reserved (number of billing destinations reserved ≧ number of orders). Determination is made (step SA-7).

Then, if the order receiving unit 102b determines that it is possible to transfer the amount equivalent to the number of orders from the number of billing destinations allocated (number of billing destinations allocated ≧ number of orders) (step SA-7: Yes), the order receiving unit 102b transfers the process to step SA- Move to 8.

Then, the order receiving unit 102b obtains order data including the number of customers who have already allocated inventory to the customer based on the inventory securing data stored in the customer master 106a and the transaction database 106b, and transfers the order data to the transaction database. 106b (step SA-8).

Then, the updating unit 102c updates the inventory securing data stored in the transaction database 106b by transferring the amount equivalent to the number of customers allocated from the number of billing recipients allocated to the transferred number based on the order data (step SA-9), the process moves to step SA-6.

On the other hand, if the order receiving unit 102b determines that it is not possible to transfer the amount equivalent to the number of orders from the number of billing destinations allocated (number of billing destinations allocated < number of orders) (step SA-7: No), the order receiving unit 102b transfers the process to step SA- Move to 10.

The order receiving unit 102b then calculates the billing party allocated quantity and inventory data included in the inventory securing data based on the customer master 106a, the inventory data stored in the transaction database 106b, and the inventory securing data stored in the transaction database 106b. It is determined whether or not the sum of the number of inventories that can be allocated is greater than the number of orders (number of billing destinations allocated+number of inventories that can be allocated>number of orders) (step SA-10).

Then, if the order receiving unit 102b determines that the sum of the number of billing destinations that have been allocated and the number of inventory that can be allocated is greater than the number of orders (number of billing destinations that have been allocated + number of inventory that can be allocated > number of orders) (step SA-10: (Yes), the process moves to step SA-11.

Then, the order receiving unit 102b receives an order including the customer's allocated quantity of inventory to be allocated to the customer based on the customer master 106a, the inventory data stored in the transaction database 106b, and the inventory securing data stored in the transaction database 106b. The data is acquired and the order data is registered in the transaction database 106b (step SA-11).

Then, based on the order data, the updating unit 102c transfers an amount equivalent to the number of billing destinations allocated from the number of billing destinations allocated to the transferred number, and changes the transfer completion classification from false to true, so that the transaction database 106b The inventory data stored in the transaction database 106b is updated by updating the inventory securing data stored in the transaction database 106b, adding the customer's allocated quantity to the inventory allocated quantity, and subtracting the customer's allocated quantity from the inventory allocable quantity. The information is updated (step SA-12), and the process moves to step SA-6.

On the other hand, if the order receiving unit 102b determines that the sum of the number of billing destinations that have been allocated and the number of inventory that can be allocated is less than the number of orders (number of billing destinations that have been allocated + number of inventory that can be allocated ≦ number of orders) (Step SA-10 :No), the process moves to step SA-13.

Then, the order receiving unit 102b calculates the number of billing parties allocated and the number of available inventory allocations from the number of orders, based on the customer master 106a, the inventory data stored in the transaction database 106b, and the inventory securing data stored in the transaction database 106b. Obtain order data including the unallocated quantity, which is the sum of SA-13).

Then, based on the order data, the updating unit 102c transfers an amount equivalent to the number of billing destinations allocated from the number of billing destinations allocated to the transferred number, and changes the transfer completion classification from false to true. The inventory data stored in the transaction database 106b is updated by updating the inventory securing data stored in the transaction database 106b, adding the customer's allocated quantity to the inventory allocated quantity, and subtracting the customer's allocated quantity from the inventory allocable quantity. The information is updated (step SA-14), and the process ends.
