Hereinafter, the operation of the electronic bidding system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an electronic bidding method according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a web page for setting and approving a bidding rule, FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a web page for automatic bidding, and FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a web page for setting a proxy.

Before the e-bidding starts, the user of the supplier applies for registration for a new supplier through the supplier system 100, and the electronic sourcing server 310 registers for registration of the new supplier with the internet 200. Received is delivered to the supplier information processing module 341 of the enterprise resource management module 340. The supplier information processing module 341 stores the new supplier registration information in the supplier table 344-1 of the database 344.

The user of the supplier may download the electronic bidding execution module 110 of the supplier system 100 through the Internet 200 or may use a data storage medium such as a CD in which a program for automatically performing electronic bidding is stored. It is installed in the supplier system 100 through the installation, and the start of the electronic bidding is possible through a mail or a short message service (SMS), but the present invention is not limited only to the embodiment.

The manager who integrates and manages the electronic procurement system 300 sets and approves a bidding rule such as a bidding method, an applied currency, a bid start and closing date, and a plurality of delivery conditions through the electronic bidding server 320 (S100). As shown in Fig. 3, the manager can display the bid title, bid number, bid type, the currency to be applied to the bid and the currency to be displayed on the screen, the target price, the unit price input method, the bid start price, the minimum amount of the bid amount, and the closing of the bid. Set time, additional conditions and other bidding conditions.

When the supplier user executes the electronic bidding performing module 110, the electronic bidding performing module 110 transmits data indicating that the electronic bidding server 320 starts to participate in the electronic bidding through the Internet 200, and the electronic bidding server The 320 accordingly informs the electronic bidding execution module 110 of the electronic bidding start. The supplier user inquires the bidding progress through a web page on a monitor (not shown) (S110).

When the supplier user who has inquired the bidding progress is selected by clicking on the bid writing area on the web page (S120), the e-bidding server 320 selects a web page as shown in FIG. Provide a bid file to the 100 (S130).

The supplier user enters a currency, a delivery condition, and a unit price on a web page (S140). The currency is selected from the currency of the country (eg KRW in domestic) or the currency representing the currency (eg USD (USD), JPY (Yen), EUR (Euro)). In the case of a bid that allows the selection of a currency, the bidding price should be entered after selecting the currency unit to be bid. The terms of delivery can be selected from Cost Insurance Flate (CIF) or Delivery Duty Pay (DDP). If there are multiple conditions of delivery, the terms of delivery must be selected first and the bidder entered. When the user selects a delivery condition, the delivery condition change module 323-2 automatically converts the current lowest price based on the selected delivery condition and displays it on the screen. In other words, if the conditions of delivery are changed from CIF to DDP, they are presented as costs including converted incidental costs (including tariffs, inland transportation costs, etc .: flat rate + fixed rate). At this time, the currency and delivery conditions can be selected only at the time of the first visit, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiment.

The supplier user checks whether to set a proxy (PROXY) (S150), and if a proxy is to be set, the proxy condition is input to a web page as shown in FIG. 4 (S151). At this time, the proxy condition input content inputs the lower limit price of the projection, the unit for decreasing the projection, the proxy start time, and the like.

6A and 6B are diagrams illustrating a web page for proxy setting and automatic bidding supported in a foreign language. When the supplier system 100 and the user are a company or a company operating overseas, the simultaneous bidding module 323 ) Will automatically change to your own language or the corresponding language and currency conditions. For example, a supplier user may input the same input contents as in the domestic automatic bidding web page of FIG. 4 in the automatic bidding web page as shown in FIG. 6A, and the proxy setting as shown in FIG. Enter the same.

When the input is finished and the user clicks on the input confirmation area, the automatic bidding processing module 321 of the electronic bidding server 320 starts the automatic bidding on the supplier and checks the bidding closing time while the automatic bidding is performed ( S160).

When it is checked that the bid deadline has been reached by the automatic bidding processing module 321 (S170), the automatic bidding processing module 321 ends the automatic bidding performance state with the electronic bidding performing module 110 and ends the bidding. (S180).

The automatic bidding processing module 321 transmits the bid contents and the input data input by the supplier user to the purchase processing module 342 of the enterprise resource management module 340, and the purchase processing module 342 receives the bid contents received. And store the input data in the bid table 344-2 (S190). When a successful bid company is confirmed after comparing and analyzing a plurality of prices bid by the supplier user (S200), a successful bid confirmation flag is generated by the purchase processing module 342 and the bid table 344-2 is displayed. Stored. The purchase processing module 342 delivers the final quotation amount information calculated to the electronic bidding server 320, and the electronic bidding server 320 sends the final quotation amount information to the electronic system of the supplier system 100 through the Internet 200. Provided to the bid performance module 110 (S210). The e-bidding module 110 stores the final estimate amount information calculated according to the successful bid in the e-bidding result database 120.

In the bid closing time check step (S170), if the bid deadline has not been reached, the automatic bidding processing module 321 checks whether a user's bidding time extension item is selected (S220). If, by the supplier user, the bidding time extension item is clicked, the bidding end time is extended to change the electronic bidding time (S221), and the bidding process is performed.

If the user does not select a bidding time extension item, it is checked whether the amount minus the minimum investment amount from the current lowest price is smaller than the investment amount (S230). If the current minimum price minus the minimum amount of investment, that is, the amount minus the decrease unit price, is smaller than the user's set the minimum amount of available permissible projection, a message indicating that the projection is impossible is output on the screen (S240). For example, when the initial bid price for a raw material or an article, A, is 10 million won, the lower limit of the price that can be set by the user is 8 million won, and the reduction unit is set to 500,000 won, If the price is reduced to 9 million won, the current price is 9 million won, and the current price is minus the reduced unit price from the current lowest price minus 8 million won. Since the price is higher than the lower limit, the price is automatically cast at the lowest price.

At this time, if the amount minus the minimum amount of investment from the current lowest price is greater than the amount of investment, the automatic price at the lowest price (S250), and returns to the step of creating a response form for other raw materials or goods. When the bid is ended, the electronic procurement system 300 is issued to the certification authority terminal 400 for the various documents such as tax invoice according to the end of the bid, and whether the insurance processing and deposit whether the insurance company / bank terminal 500 After receiving the confirmation, and transmits the wiring instruction data to the ship company terminal 600.

The embodiment of the present invention is only one embodiment, and many variations and modifications may be made to the components of the electronic procurement system without departing from the gist of the present invention, and the present invention is limited only to the embodiments. no.

As described above, the electronic bidding system and the electronic bidding method of the present invention allows the user of the supplier side to automatically participate in the bidding without bidding each time according to the price change continuously when bidding on raw materials or goods. .

In addition, it provides convenience to the user of the supplier side by automatically converting into a currency unit to be bid in the bidding that allows the currency selection.
