Then, the RFID middleware 22 processes the electronic tag information read by the RFID reader 21 and transmits the goods release information to the enterprise application system 30.

The enterprise application system 30 receives the goods release information, and uses the enterprise resource planning (ERP), integrated manufacturing management (MES), supply chain management (SCM), Perform business tasks such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM).

On the other hand, when a supplier delivers the goods to the purchaser according to the goods supply contract, the supplier generally provides the purchaser with a list of the goods to be supplied. At this time, the employee of the supplier connects to the enterprise application system 30 to obtain the goods release information, and creates a document in which the goods release information is recorded using a document generator such as a word processor. Then, the created document is transmitted to the inter-company e-commerce system 10 'of the purchaser by using the inter-company e-commerce (B2B) system 10 of the supplier, and the purchaser received from the inter-company e-commerce system 10'. Computer-entered goods release information is registered in the company application system 30 'of a purchaser.

When the actual goods are received by the customer, the RFID reader 21 'provided at the customer company reads the electronic tag attached to the received goods and transmits the corresponding electronic tag information to the RFID middleware 22'. Then, the RFID middleware 22 'transmits the goods receipt information corresponding to the electronic tag information read by the RFID reader 10' to the enterprise application system 30 '. Then, the enterprise application system 30 ′ compares the goods release information and the goods receipt information to check whether the goods are correctly received.
