Each person brings a handy terminal in which a product code and a product quantity can be entered, and goes to each display shelf 200 designated in advance,
The product (product code) displayed there and the product quantity are input. This product-specific inventory information is transferred to the store controller wirelessly or by wire. The store controller classifies and sorts the stock information for each product transferred from each handy terminal and processes it into inventory management and order materials.

[0003]

By the way, of the product-specific inventory information that is input using the handy terminal, the product code can be promptly input by reading a bar code, etc. It takes a long time to input.
In addition, inventory work is not a daily task, and the number of handy terminals owned is limited due to cost reasons.

[0004] Furthermore, if the inventory information for each product transferred from each handy terminal is disorderly, subsequent sorting and sorting becomes more complicated and counting errors and the like are likely to occur, so each person inputs in a predetermined order. It is planned to be. Therefore, a situation arises in which the input work of each person must be adjusted to a worker whose input is slow, and the speed is further reduced.

[0005] Thus, in the past, it is a fact that the day is closed and the inventory is taken in one day, and there is a strong demand for speeding up the inventory work and improving the accuracy.

An object of the present invention is to provide an inventory information processing apparatus capable of performing an inventory operation quickly and accurately with a small number of handy terminals.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, display data for each product excluding the quantity of goods input on a display shelf and using a handy terminal can be collected and rearranged in the display order. The following product-specific display data is formed so as to be printable on a quantity entry form having a quantity entry field, and the stored sorted product-specific display data can be output and displayed on a stock quantity input screen having a quantity display field. The inventory quantity of each product corresponding to the entered product-specific display data is formed so that it can be entered in the corresponding quantity display field by referring to the quantity entry form, and the input inventory quantity of each product can be printed out. Inventory information processing device.

In this invention, display data for each product (for example, a product code and a shelf number) other than the product quantity is input on the display shelf and using the handy terminal. The display data for each product input at each handy terminal is collected and rearranged in the display order (for example, in the order of shelf numbers), and the rearranged product display data is printed out on a quantity form having a quantity field. . At the previous stage, it is not necessary to input the actual quantity of each displayed product, and the input order may be random, so that even a small number of people can quickly input product-specific display data. In addition, the quantity entry form has the display data arranged and printed in order of display for each product, and also has a quantity entry column for each product.

Thus, for example, a plurality of quantity entry slips can be printed out and distributed to each person, and the quantity of commodities displayed for each person can be counted, and the quantity of the commodities can be handwritten in the corresponding quantity entry box. In other words, the number of commodities (inventory quantity) may be counted in the order of display, so that a large number of people can work. In addition, since it is not necessary to use a handy terminal, the cost of equipment can be significantly reduced by reducing the number of handy terminals.

[0010] The person in charge of receiving the quantity entry form from each person,

5). This distribution is collected from each HT 20 (ST20).
In order to sort out the disordered product-specific display data, the product-specific display data for all the shelves 200 may be collectively executed after being collected. However, in this embodiment, processing convenience and processing are performed. Collected for speeding up (S
Each time T20 is YES), it is possible to sort. That is, it depends on the transaction processing (ST24).

Product master update control means (11, 12)
Updates the product master file 13M in which the product data including the product code and the classification code shown in FIG. 10 is set and stored in FIG. 10 by reflecting the product-specific display data read from the distribution file 13C (ST28).
This means that the product data should be
0 assures the function of the SC 10 itself that responds to the product data in response to an inquiry from each electronic cash register,
This is because the display data for each product can be rearranged and printed in the order of display and for each product classification in the quantity entry form 100 described later in detail. In this way, the applicability to a store operated and managed by classification or the like as a primary key can be expanded.

This updating is performed by the display control means (11,
With reference to the product master update instruction screen 16S shown in FIG. 9 displayed by (12) (ST26) and key operation (ST)
27 (YES).

After updating (ST28), the display control means (11, 12) switches and displays the quantity entry form extraction / output instruction screen 16S shown in FIG. 11 (ST29 in FIG. 4). Extraction / output instruction by key operation (YE of ST30)
When S) is performed, the extraction storage control means (11, 12) extracts the display data for each product sorted in the display order from the product master file 13M in the display order and for creating the quantity entry form 100 (ST31). , Extraction file 1 shown in FIG.
It is stored in 3E (ST32). This extracted file 13E
Has an "inventory count" column.

The quantity entry form creation means creates the quantity entry form 100 shown in FIG. 13 having the product-specific display data printed thereon and having a quantity entry section 101, and stores a quantity entry form creation control program. ROM12 and CP

M) while searching (ST42) and creating inventory information (ST4).
3) Then, it is stored in the inventory information file 13F shown in FIG. 16 (ST44). In this case as well, the transaction processing (ST43) is similar to the case of ST24 in FIG.

The inventory information is, as shown in FIG. 16, a product code, a classification code, and an inventory quantity, but is not limited to this. In short, it is only necessary that the inventory quantity of each product can be known and printed out. It depends on the actual operation of inventory management.

Since ST42 in FIG. 5 is a transaction process, the inventory information printout means (CPU 11,
The ROM 12) operates when an inventory information output request is made by a key operation (YES in ST45). That is, the inventory information print output means searches the inventory information file 13F shown in FIG. 16 (ST46), drives the printer 17 while reading the inventory information, and prints out (ST47).

The print output format can be formed so as to print in a predetermined format on a predetermined sheet such as an inventory management ledger or an order sheet.

Next, the operation and operation of this embodiment will be described. For example, a small number of persons (for example, five persons) have a handy terminal (HT) 20 and are directed to each display shelf group to which a large division is allocated. It may be in store operation.

Each person scans and inputs the product code of each displayed product using the HT 20 on the display shelf 200 shown in FIG. 17 to which the assignment has been instructed. The shelf position is entered by key (ST10 in FIG. 2). That is, display data for each product is input. Since it is not necessary to count the number of complicated and time-consuming commodities in the conventional inventory work and to input the quantity, the data input work can be completed quickly and accurately. Each time or after the input is completed, the data is transferred to the store controller (SC) 10 (ST13).

On the SC10 side, reception (ST20 in FIG. 3)
The display data for each product from each HT 20 is temporarily stored in the data spool file 13D shown in FIG. 7 (ST21).
I do. The display data for each product is stored in the order of reception (disorder).

The display control means (11, 12)
6 displays the reception (reception) state / capture instruction screen shown in FIG. 6 (ST22). When the import instruction is given in a timely manner, the distribution storage control means (rearrangement storage control means) distributes the display order, that is, the shelf number, the shelf level and the shelf position in descending order, and stores the distribution file (rearrangement file) 13C shown in FIG. Remember (S
T24, ST25).

When an update instruction (ST26, ST27) is made with reference to the screen 16S shown in FIG. 9, the product master update control means (rearrangement storage control means) stores the product-specific display data read from the distribution file 13C in the product master file. (Sort file) Reflect (update) on 13M (ST2)
8). Therefore, the product master file 13M is shown in FIG.
As shown at 0, each product is sorted in display order. The display 16 is switched and displayed on a quantity entry form creation / output instruction screen 16S shown in FIG.

When an extraction / output instruction is given (YES in ST30 of FIG. 4), extraction storage control means (rearrangement storage control means)
Extracts the product-specific display data from the product master file 13M in the order of display (ST31) and stores it in the extraction file (rearrangement file) 13E shown in FIG. 12 (ST32).
The “inventory quantity” column is blank. Note that an extraction range and an output (creation) range can be selectively set on the screen 16S of FIG.

Then, the quantity entry form creating means (11, 1)
2) creates (prints out) the inventory entry form 100 shown in FIG. 13 while reading the commodity-specific display data rearranged in the display order stored in the extraction file 13E (ST3).
3). For example, it can be created only for a certain shelf. FIG. 13 shows an inventory entry form 100 for the shelf number “1001”.

The inventory entry form 100 is handed to a staff member who does not have the HT 20. The attendant goes to the shelf ("1001") shown in FIG. 17, counts the quantity of the products displayed at the shelf position (Pi) of the shelf (Si), and puts the quantity in a quantity entry column 101, for example, with a pencil. Fill in using.
Hereafter, fill in the display order.

Since it is easy to know which product should be entered in which position and it is also possible to use handwriting without using the HT 20, the quantity of each commodity (inventory quantity) can be entered accurately and quickly. Further, since the HT 20 is not required, a large number of persons can be thrown in simultaneously. Further, since it is only necessary to count the quantity of goods and write it on the sheet (100), an albiter or the like can be used. Therefore, the most troublesome work of entering the quantity can be efficiently executed.

The manager or the like who has received the quantity entry form 100 makes an inventory quantity input request while specifying the shelf number ("1001") (YES in ST34 of FIG. 5). The display control means (11, 12) controls the inventory quantity input screen 16 including the product-specific display data read from the extraction file 13E.
S is displayed as shown in FIG. 14 (ST36). FIG.
As shown in FIG. 14, the products (product codes) are in the same display order. In the case of simultaneous display of multiple shelf numbers,
As in the case of the quantity entry form 100 shown in FIG. 13, the shelf level and the shelf position are also displayed on the inventory quantity input screen 16S in FIG. That is, they are displayed in the same format.

Thus, the person in charge, etc.,
Is entered in the quantity display field 110 on the screen 16S shown in FIG. 14 in the same format as this, in a transcriptional manner. The quantity for each product can be accurately entered, and handling is extremely easy.
Therefore, this quantity input operation can also be performed quickly.

After the input, when a creation instruction (ST41) is made with reference to the inventory information creation instruction screen 16S shown in FIG. 15, the inventory information creation means (11, 12) creates the inventory information (S41).
T43) and store it in the inventory information file 13F shown in FIG. 16 (ST44).

When urgently placing an order for the product, for example, a stock information output request (ST45) is made and the stock information (product code, classification code, stock quantity) is printed out (ST4).
7) What is necessary is to do. In the case of all display shelves (all commodities), after all inputs have been completed, for example, printout is performed on the inventory management ledger (S
T47).

Thus, according to this embodiment, the display data for each product excluding the quantity of goods input on the display shelf 200 and using the handy terminal 20 is collected and rearranged in the display order, and the rearranged product data is sorted. The display data is printed out on a quantity entry form 100 having a quantity entry field 101, and the sorted display data for each product is displayed in a quantity display field 110.
Is displayed and output on the inventory quantity input screen 16S having the item number, and the inventory quantity of each displayed product is displayed on the quantity entry form 100.
, And input and print out the input inventory quantity for each product, so that the inventory operation can be performed quickly and accurately with a small number of handy terminals.
