Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an ordering system, an ordering method, and an ordering program. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there is a production management system equipped with an order processing unit that receives confirmed order information and processes orders for each part so as to meet the delivery date of the ordered item based on the parts and quantities required to produce the ordered item and the time required from ordering to delivery of each part (for example, Patent Document 1). The production management system described in Patent Document 1 is equipped with an unofficial order information creation unit that creates unofficial order information based on unconfirmed order information before confirmed order information is input, and causes the order processing unit to process orders based on the created unofficial order information. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-242760 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Furthermore, in conventional production management systems, when production arrangements are made and an order is required, an order record may be generated based on the number of orders. An order record is generated for each process (outsourcing process) that requires an order for each part of the ordered product. For example, even if the same part is manufactured, if multiple outsourcing processes are included in the manufacturing process of that part, an order record is generated for each outsourcing process.

[0005] However, one drawback of creating separate order records for each outsourcing process is that it is not possible to change the order unit depending on the supplier, order status, or procurement status, making it impossible to create optimal order data. Below, we will explain three specific examples of this issue.

[0006] The first problem is that order records are generated for each outsourcing process, making it impossible to generate order records for each part. For example, if multiple production arrangements for different products (or the same product) that contain the same part are started separately, multiple order records for the same part will be generated.

[0007] If the lot price for the outsourcing process changes by consolidating multiple order records for the same part, it will lead to a reduction in the cost of the outsourcing process, but conventional production management systems cannot consolidate order records, which results in the problem of extra costs being incurred for the outsourcing process.In addition, if the supplier company consolidates and manages acceptance data by part, the management units for the supplier's acceptance data and the orderer's order data (order record) are different, which creates the problem of not being able to manage data appropriately.

[0008] The second problem is that it is not possible to split an order record into multiple order records depending on the supplier or order status. For example, there are cases where it is possible to reduce the cost of outsourcing processes and shorten delivery times by splitting orders for parts related to one order record among multiple suppliers depending on the supplier's unit price and inventory status. However, with conventional production management systems, it is not possible to split order records, which results in the problem of extra costs and longer delivery times for outsourcing processes.

[0009] Furthermore, when ordering a large number of parts using a single order record, it may not be possible to place all of the parts at the factory at once, and in such cases the parts are carried in and out in multiple batches. However, conventional production management systems cannot separate order records by delivery date, which makes it difficult to properly manage orders.

[0010] The third problem is that outsourced processes that process multiple parts together cannot be managed together in a single order record. For example, processes such as dip coating (a painting method in which multiple parts are immersed in paint) process multiple parts together, so the price is calculated for the set of parts rather than for each part. However, with conventional production management systems, sets of parts are managed together on a single invoice. If parts other than those for dip coating are sent on the same invoice, separate invoices for the dip coating and the other parts must be created, making data management difficult.

[0011] Due to the above problems, conventional production management systems are unable to accommodate various ordering forms, and therefore are unable to create optimal ordering data.

[0012] One aspect of the present invention is an ordering system, an ordering method, and an ordering program that can improve ordering efficiency. [Means for solving the problem]

[0013] An ordering system according to one aspect of the present invention includes a control unit configured to manage order records generated for each outsourced process of one or more parts that make up an ordered product, the order records including process type information for the outsourced process to be ordered, the quantity of the parts to be ordered, product identification information for the product, and order identification information for order data related to the product, and the control unit is configured to edit and manage the order records.

[0014] In one aspect of the present invention, an ordering method involves a control device configured to manage order records generated for each outsourced process of one or more parts that make up an ordered product, editing and managing the order records, and the order records including process type information for the outsourced process to be ordered, the quantity of the parts to be ordered, product identification information for the product, and order identification information for order data related to the product.

[0015] An ordering program according to one aspect of the present invention causes a control device configured to manage order records generated for each outsourced process of one or more parts that make up an ordered product to edit and manage the order records, and the order records include process type information for the outsourced process to be ordered, the quantity of the parts to be ordered, product identification information for the product, and order identification information for order data related to the product.

[0016] According to an embodiment of the ordering system, ordering method, and ordering program of the present invention, the ordering system, ordering method, and ordering program are configured to be able to edit and manage multiple ordering records, so that the ordering unit can be changed depending on the supplier, order status, and procurement status, thereby improving ordering efficiency. [Effects of the Invention]

By selecting the OK button 31u on the order screen 31, the order data creation unit 43 will create order data 56, and the order record R in the order list 31b will be placed in an ordered state.

[0075] [Summary of the order recording process according to this embodiment] The order data creation unit 43 is also configured to be able to integrate a plurality of order records R having the same order identification information but different process type information to generate an integrated order record R'. Specifically, in this embodiment, the order data creation unit 43 is configured to be able to execute a process integration selection reception process that receives selection of a plurality of order records R having the same order identification information (in this embodiment, serial number) but different process type information (in this embodiment, process name), and a process integration process that integrates the selected plurality of order records R to generate an integrated order record R'.

[0076] The unit price of the integrated order record R' is recalculated based on the outsourcing process of the integrated multiple order records R. In addition, the acceptance due date of the integrated order record R' is re-determined based on the acceptance due dates of the integrated multiple order records R. Furthermore, the process type information of the integrated multiple order records R is listed as the process type information of the integrated multiple order records R.

[0077] In this embodiment, the earliest acceptance due date among the acceptance due dates of the multiple integrated order records R is selected as the acceptance due date of the integrated order record R', but the invention is not limited to this.

[0078] 3 and 4 are diagrams showing an example of a process summary of an order record according to this embodiment. Here, a summary of the process of the order record R according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 3 and 4. For example, as shown in Figure 3, there are two order records R that have been moved to the order list 31b on the order screen 31 as order records R to be placed. The total number of order records in the order list on the order screen 31 is displayed in the column 31d.

[0079] The first order record R has a serial number "iiiii", a supplier company name "XX Company", a quantity "10", and a process name "blank". The second order record R has a serial number "iiiii", a supplier company name "XX Company", a quantity "10", and a process name "bend". In other words, the two order records R in the order list 31b have the same order identification information (serial number), supplier company name, and quantity in the order data 53 related to the product, but different process names.

[0080] When the user wishes to combine these two order records R with different process names to generate one integrated order record R', the user first selects the order list side selection button 31r corresponding to each order record R in the order list 31b on the order screen 31. After selecting the order list side selection button 31r, the user selects the process combination button 31j.

[0081] Thereafter, the order data creation unit 43 accepts the selection of two order records R that have the same manufacturing number (arrangement identification information of the order data 53 related to the product) but different process names (process type information) (process integration selection acceptance process).Then, as shown in Figure 4, the order data creation unit 43 integrates the two selected order records R to generate an integrated order record R' (process integration process) and displays it in the order list 31b of the order screen 31.

[0082] The generated integrated order record R' has the same serial number as the two order records R before the integration: "iiiiii", supplier company name "XX Company", and quantity "10". Furthermore, the process name of the integrated order record R' is "blank, bend", which is a list of the process names of the two order records R before the integration. Because there were only two order records R in the order list 31b of the order screen 31 before the integration, only the generated integrated order record R' is displayed in the order list 31b of the order screen 31 after the integration, and the total number of order records in the order list display field 31d is "1".

[0083] In addition, when multiple order records R with different order identification information (in this embodiment, manufacturing number) in the order data 53 related to the product are selected during process consolidation of the order records R, and the process consolidation button 31j on the order screen 31 is pressed, the order data creation unit 43 is configured to not merge the multiple selected order records R, but to display an error message on the order screen 31 and prompt the user to select an order record R with the same order identification information in the order data 53 related to the product.

[0084] Furthermore, when multiple order records R with different supplier company information (supplier company name, etc.) are selected during process consolidation of order records R, and the process consolidation button 31j on the order screen 31 is pressed, the order data creation unit 43 is configured to consolidate the selected multiple order records R to generate a consolidated order record R', display an error mark in the display item related to the supplier company information in the order list 31b on the order screen 31, and leave the contents of the supplier company information blank.

[0085] Furthermore, if the user selects the OK button 31u on the order screen 31 to complete the order while the supplier company information is left blank, the order data creation unit 43 is configured to display an error message on the order screen 31 without creating the order data 56, and to prompt the user to enter the supplier company information.

[0086] [Summary of quantities in order records according to this embodiment] The order data creation unit 43 is also configured to be able to integrate a plurality of order records R that have the same product identification information and the same process type information to generate an integrated order record R'. Specifically, in this embodiment, the order data creation unit 43 is configured to be able to execute a quantity integration selection reception process that receives selection of a plurality of order records R that have the same product identification information (in this embodiment, drawing number) and the same process type information (in this embodiment, process name), and a quantity integration process that integrates the selected plurality of order records R to generate an integrated order record R'.

[0087] The unit price of the integrated order record R' is calculated again based on the outsourcing process of the integrated multiple order records R. In addition, the receipt due date of the integrated order record R' is determined again based on the receipt due dates of the integrated multiple order records R. In addition, the quantity of the integrated order record R' is the sum of the quantities of the integrated multiple order records R.

[0088] Furthermore, the serial number of the integrated order record R' is a list of serial numbers of the integrated multiple order records R. In this embodiment, the acceptance due date of the integrated order record R' is selected to be the earliest acceptance due date among the acceptance due dates of the integrated multiple order records R, but is not limited to this.

[0089] 5 and 6 are diagrams showing an example of the quantity summary of the order record in this embodiment. Here, the summarization of quantities of order records R according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 5 and 6. For example, as shown in Figure 5, there are two order records R that have been moved to the order list 31b on the order screen 31 as order records R to be placed. The total number of order records in the order list on the order screen 31 is displayed as "2" in the display field 31d.

[0090] The first order record R has a drawing number of "SSSS," a revision number of "1," a quantity of "10," a process name of "painting," and a serial number of "00005092." Similarly, the second order record R has a drawing number of "SSSS," a revision number of "1," a quantity of "10," a process name of "painting," and a serial number of "00005093." In other words, the two order records R in order list 31b have the same product identification information (same drawing number and drawing revision number) and the same process name, but the order identification information (serial number) in order data 53 related to the products is different.

[0091] When the user wishes to combine these two order records R to generate a single integrated order record R', the user first selects the order list side selection button 31r corresponding to each order record R in the order list 31b on the order screen 31. After selecting the order list side selection button 31r, the user selects the quantity combination button 31k.

[0092] Thereafter, the order data creation unit 43 accepts the selection of two order records R that have the same drawing number and drawing version number (product identification information) and also the same process name (process type information) (quantity consolidation selection acceptance process).Then, as shown in Figure 6, the order data creation unit 43 consolidates the two selected order records R to generate a consolidated order record R' (quantity consolidation process) and displays it in the order list 31b of the order screen 31.

[0093] The generated integrated order record R' has the same drawing number as the two order records R before the integration: "SSSS," version number "1," and process name "painting." The quantity of the integrated order record R' is "20," which is the sum of the quantities of the two order records R before the integration. Furthermore, the serial numbers of the integrated order record R' are "00005092, 00005093," which is a list of the serial numbers of the two order records R before the integration. Because there were only two order records R in the order list 31b of the order screen 31 before the integration, only the generated integrated order record R' is displayed in the order list 31b of the order screen 31 after the integration, and the total number of order records in the order list display field 31d is "1."

[0094] In addition, when consolidating the quantities of order records R, if multiple order records R with different product identification information (including in this embodiment cases where at least one of the drawing number and drawing version number is different) are selected and the quantity consolidation button 31k on the order screen 31 is pressed, the order data creation unit 43 is configured to not consolidate the multiple selected order records R, but to display an error message on the order screen 31 and prompt the user to select an order record R with the same product identification information (the same drawing number and drawing version number).

[0095] Furthermore, when consolidating the quantities of order records R, if multiple order records R with different process type information (in this embodiment, process name) are selected and the quantity consolidation button 31k on the order screen 31 is pressed, the order data creation unit 43 is configured to not consolidate the selected multiple order records R, but to display an error message on the order screen 31 and prompt the user to select order records R with the same process type information.

[0096] Furthermore, when consolidating the quantities of order records R, if multiple order records R with different supplier company information (supplier company name, etc.) are selected and the quantity consolidation button 31k on the order screen 31 is pressed, the order data creation unit 43 consolidates the selected multiple order records R to generate a consolidated order record R', displays an error mark in the display item related to the supplier company information in the order list 31b on the order screen 31, and leaves the contents of the supplier company information blank.

[0097] Furthermore, if the user selects the OK button 31u on the order screen 31 to complete the order while the supplier company information is left blank, the order data creation unit 43 is configured to not create the order data 56, but to display an error message on the order screen 31 and prompt the user to enter the supplier company information.

[0098] [Splitting the Integrated Order Record According to the Present Embodiment] Furthermore, the order data creation unit 43 is configured to be able to split the integrated order record R' into multiple order records R. Specifically, in this embodiment, the order data creation unit 43 is configured to be able to execute a quantity change acceptance process that accepts input of a quantity that is smaller than the original quantity of parts in the selected integrated order record R', and an order record division process that changes the quantity of parts in the selected integrated order record R' to the input quantity, creates an order record R that is the same as the order record R that was the basis for the selected integrated order record R', and sets the quantity of the parts to a number obtained by subtracting the input quantity from the original quantity of parts.

[0099] In this embodiment, the divided order records R in the order record division process are displayed in the arrangement list 31a of the order screen 31, but this is not limiting, and the divided order records R may be displayed in the order list 31b of the order screen 31. The quantity of parts in the divided order records R is displayed as the "remaining order quantity" of the order record R.

[0100] When dividing the consolidated integrated order record R' into multiple order records R, the order data creation unit 43 is configured to reduce the quantity of parts (order quantity) from the order records R that were the basis for the consolidated order record R', starting with the order record R with the latest acceptance delivery date. Furthermore, when the quantity of parts in the order record R with the latest acceptance delivery date becomes zero, the order data creation unit 43 is configured to reduce the quantity of parts in the order record R with the next latest acceptance delivery date. In other words, the "remaining order quantity" of the order records R displayed on the dispatch list 31a is restored to its original state in order of latest acceptance delivery date.

[0101] When dividing the integrated order record R' into multiple order records R after the process has been summarized, the order data creation unit 43 is configured to generate multiple order records R that are the basis for the integrated order record R', and to set the quantity of parts in each order record R to the number obtained by subtracting the input quantity from the original quantity of parts in the integrated order record R'.

[0102] 7 and 9 are diagrams showing an example of division of an integrated order record according to this embodiment. Here, division of the integrated order record R' according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 7 to 9. For example, as shown in Figure 7, an integrated order record R' generated by integrating multiple order records R is in the order list 31b of the order screen 31. This integrated order record R' is an integrated order record R' in which the quantity has been consolidated, and the serial number is "bbbbb", the supplier company name is "XX Company", and the quantity is "20".

[0103] The total number of order records in the order list display field 31d on the order screen 31 is set to "1." Furthermore, there is no order record R in the order list 31a on the order screen 31, and the total number of order records in the order list display field 1c is set to "0."

[0104] When the user wishes to divide the integrated order record R' in the order list 31b on the order screen 31, the user first selects the edit order record button 31p corresponding to the integrated order record R' in the order list 31b, as shown in FIG. 7. After selecting the edit order record button 31p, the order edit screen 32 is displayed on the display unit 30. For example, when the user wishes to reduce the quantity of the integrated order record R' to 10 and place an order, the user changes the value in the quantity input field 32b on the order edit screen 32 from "20" to "10" as shown in FIG. 8, and then selects the OK button 32e.

[0105] Thereafter, the order data creation unit 43 receives input of the quantity of the order record R (quantity change reception process). Then, as shown in Fig. 9, the order data creation unit 43 changes the quantity of the selected order record R in the order list 31b of the order screen 31 to "10", and also generates an order record R identical to the order record R in the order list 31b by setting the quantity to "10" (order record division process), and displays it on the arrangement list 31a.

[0106] Because there was only one integrated order record R' in the order list 31b of the order screen 31 before the split, only the original integrated order record R' that was split into is displayed in the order list 31b of the order screen 31 after the split, and the total number of order records in the order list display field 31d is "1." Also, because there was no order record R in the order list 31a before the split, only the newly generated order record R that was split is displayed in the order list 31a after the split, and the total number of order records display field 1c on the order list is "1."

[0107] The acceptance data creation unit 44 is configured to create acceptance data 57 based on the order data 56. The basic acceptance flow of the order system 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 10. Note that the acceptance flow of only the order record R will be described, but the acceptance flow of the integrated order record R' is similar, so its description will be omitted.

[0108] First, the user selects the order record R to be accepted on the acceptance target selection screen by selecting the acceptance target selection screen button 33i on the acceptance screen 33. When the order record R to be accepted is selected, the selected order record R is displayed in a list in the acceptance list 33b on the acceptance screen 33, as shown in FIG.

[0109] If the order is to be accepted as is, the OK button 33o on the acceptance screen 33 is selected, and the acceptance data creation unit 44 creates acceptance data 57, and the order record R in the acceptance list 33b becomes an acceptance completed state.

[0110] Furthermore, the user can select the acceptance list selection button 33m corresponding to the order record R in the acceptance list 33b and select the edit button 33k or the delete button 33l to edit or delete the selected order record R. When editing and accepting only a portion of the order record R, the remaining order record R or the order record R deleted from the acceptance list 33b is displayed in the remaining acceptance list 33a.

[0111] [Package order (acceptance) of order record according to this embodiment] In addition, the acceptance data creation unit 44 is configured to be able to execute a lump-sum order (acceptance) selection acceptance process that accepts the selection of multiple order records R with a unit price of 0 yen or no unit price set and the same process type information (in this embodiment, process name), a total amount acceptance process that accepts input of the total amount of the selected multiple order records R, and an amount integration process that integrates the amounts for the outsourced processes of the selected multiple order records R into the total amount.

[0112] 11 and 12 are diagrams showing an example of a complete order (receive) according to this embodiment. Here, a complete order (receive) of an order record R according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, there are three order records R in which order data 56 has been created and orders have been placed, all with a unit price of "0." The first order record R has a drawing number of "DDDD," a quantity of "10," and a process name of "painting." The second order record R has a drawing number of "EEEE," a quantity of "5," and a process name of "painting." The third order record R has a drawing number of "FFFF," a quantity of "15," and a process name of "painting."

[0113] That is, the three order records R included in one order data 56 have the same process name only, but different drawing numbers and quantities, and are a combination of order records R that cannot be combined into process or quantity summaries.

[0114] The parts related to the three order records R were painted collectively by the supplier company using dip painting, etc. Therefore, the amount related to the outsourced process related to these order records R is incurred not per part unit for each order record R, but per work unit performed collectively, in other words, per set of parts.

[0115] When accepting these order records R, the user, like the basic acceptance flow, selects the acceptance target selection screen launch button 33i on the acceptance screen 33 and selects three order records R on the acceptance target selection screen. Then, as shown in Fig. 12, the acceptance data creation unit 44 accepts the selection of the three order records R (complete order (acceptance) selection acceptance process) and displays the selected three order records R in the acceptance list 33b on the acceptance screen 33.

[0116] The user then selects the Add Expenses button 33j. The receipt data creation unit 44 creates a new expense order record E and displays it in the receipt list 33b. Next, the user enters the total amount of the three order records R into the detail unit amount of the expense order record E in the receipt list 33b. The receipt data creation unit 44 then accepts the input of the total amount (total amount acceptance process) and integrates the amounts of the outsourced processes of the three order records R into the input total amount (amount integration process).

[0117] Then, the acceptance data creation unit 44 displays the total amount in the total amount display field 33n. To accept the three order records R, the acceptance data creation unit 44 creates acceptance data 57 by selecting the OK button 33o on the acceptance screen 33, and the acceptance is completed.

[0118] FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a package order according to this embodiment. In this embodiment, a package order (acceptance) can be performed not only by the method described above, but also by the following procedure. First, three order records R are displayed in the acceptance list 33b of the acceptance screen 33 using the same procedure as the method described above. Then, the user inputs the total amount of the three order records R into the detailed unit amount of any one of the three order records R, as shown in FIG. 13.

[0119] Thereafter, the acceptance data creation unit 44 accepts the input of the total amount (total amount acceptance process) and integrates the amounts of the outsourcing processes of the three order records R into the input total amount (amount integration process).The acceptance data creation unit 44 then displays the total amount in the total amount display field 33n.The following procedure is the same as the method described above, so a description thereof will be omitted.

[0120] The storage unit 50 has a storage medium such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or an SSD (Solid State Drive), and stores various data in a readable and writable manner. As shown in Fig. 1, the storage unit 50 stores order information 51, inventory information 52, arrangement data 53, an order record list 54, supplier information 55, order record R, order data 56, receipt data 57, and an order program 58. Furthermore, the storage unit 50 stores programs necessary for controlling each part of the order device 10.

[0121] Order information 51 is information about product orders entered by the user via input unit 20. Inventory information 52 is information about products for the current period calculated from the required number and order number of products for the previous period, and includes information such as the number of products and parts in stock. Arrangement data 53 is arrangement information for products and parts created by arrangement data creation unit 41.

[0122] The order record list 54 is a list of order records R created by the requirement calculation unit 42. Supplier information 55 includes supplier company information for each supplier requesting an outsourced process. Order data 56 is parts order information created by the order data creation unit 43. Receipt data 57 is parts receipt information created by the receipt data creation unit 44.

[0123] The ordering program 58 causes the ordering device 10, which is configured to be able to manage the order record R generated for each outsourced process of one or more parts that make up the ordered product, to edit and manage multiple order records R.

[0124] FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram showing an order record of this embodiment. 14, the order record R includes process type information of the outsourced process to be ordered, the quantity of parts to be ordered, product identification information of the product, and order identification information of the order data 53 related to the product. The order record R also includes the unit price and acceptance delivery date of the outsourced process to be ordered.

[0125] In this embodiment, the process type information is a process name, but is not limited to this. Also, in this embodiment, the product identification information of the product is a drawing number, but is not limited to this. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the order identification information is a manufacturing number, but is not limited to this.

[0126] [Ordering method according to this embodiment] Next, an ordering method by the ordering system 1 according to this embodiment will be described. In the ordering method according to this embodiment, the control unit 40 of the ordering device 10, which is configured to be able to manage the order record R generated for each outsourcing process of one or more parts that make up the ordered product, edits and manages the multiple order records R. Specifically, in the ordering method according to this embodiment, the order data creation unit 43 of the control unit 40 integrates the multiple order records R that satisfy predetermined conditions and generates an integrated order record R'.

[0127] The ordering method according to this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to Fig. 15. First, when an order for a product is received, the user creates order information 51. After the order is received, the order data creation unit 41 of the control unit 40 of the ordering device 10 creates order data 53 based on the order information 51 stored in the memory unit 50 of the ordering device 10, and makes arrangements for the production of the product and parts (S1 in Fig. 15: order data creation step).

[0128] Next, the required quantity calculation unit 42 of the control unit 40 of the ordering device 10 calculates the number of parts to be ordered based on the order quantity in the order data 53 and the inventory information 52 in the storage unit 50, and generates an order record R required for ordering (S2 in FIG. 15: order record generation step). Then, the order data creation unit 43 integrates multiple order records R that satisfy predetermined conditions, and generates an integrated order record R' (S3 in FIG. 15: integrated order record generation step).

[0129] Specifically, the user selects multiple order records R having the same manufacturing number but different process names via the input unit 20 of the ordering device 10 on the order screen 31 displayed on the display unit 30 of the ordering device 10 (process integration selection process). The order data creation unit 43 of the control unit 40 of the ordering device 10 accepts the selection of the multiple order records R (process integration selection acceptance process), and integrates the selected multiple order records R to generate an integrated order record R' (process integration process).

[0130] Alternatively, the user selects multiple order records R that have the same drawing number and the same process name via the input unit 20 of the ordering device 10 on the order screen 31 displayed on the display unit 30 of the ordering device 10 (quantity consolidation selection process). The order data creation unit 43 of the control unit 40 of the ordering device 10 accepts the selection of multiple order records R (quantity consolidation selection acceptance process), and integrates the selected multiple order records R to generate an integrated order record R' (quantity consolidation process).

[0131] Thereafter, the order data creation unit 43 of the control unit 40 of the order device 10 creates order data 56 based on the order record R and the integrated order record R' (S4 in FIG. 15: order data creation step) and places an order. Through the above steps, a series of order placement methods by the order placement system 1 according to this embodiment are executed.

[0132] [Advantages of the ordering system, ordering method, and ordering program according to this embodiment] As described above, the ordering system 1 of this embodiment is equipped with a control unit 40 configured to be able to manage an order record R generated for each outsourced process of one or more parts that make up the ordered product, and the order record R includes process type information (in this embodiment, the process name) of the outsourced process to be ordered, the quantity of parts to be ordered, product identification information of the product (in this embodiment, the drawing number), and order identification information of the order data 53 related to the product (in this embodiment, the serial number), and the control unit 40 is configured to be able to edit and manage multiple order records R.

[0133] The ordering system 1 of this embodiment is configured in this way so that it can edit and manage multiple order records R, and therefore has the advantage of being able to edit multiple order records R according to the supplier, order status, procurement status, cost, etc., to perform order management that corresponds to various order types, thereby improving ordering efficiency.

[0134] Furthermore, in the ordering system 1 according to this embodiment, the control unit 40 is configured to be able to execute an integrated order record generation process that integrates multiple order records R that satisfy predetermined conditions and generates an integrated order record R'. This configuration makes it possible to integrate order records R, etc., for which ordering together would reduce the cost of outsourcing processes, to generate an integrated order record R' and place an order, which has the advantage of improving ordering efficiency.

[0135] Furthermore, in the ordering system 1 according to this embodiment, the control unit 40 is configured to integrate multiple order records R that have the same order identification information (in this embodiment, the manufacturing number) but different process type information (in this embodiment, the process name) and generate an integrated order record R', and the order record R includes the unit price and acceptance delivery date of the outsourcing process to be ordered, and the unit price of the integrated order record R' is recalculated based on the outsourcing process of the integrated multiple order records R, and the acceptance delivery date of the integrated order record R' is re-determined based on the acceptance delivery date of the integrated multiple order records R.

[0136] By having such a configuration, when parts for an ordered product include multiple outsourced processes that are ordered from the same supplier, multiple order records R for the same parts can be consolidated, and when the lot price per unit of the outsourced process changes, the cost of the outsourced process can be reduced, which has the advantage of improving ordering efficiency.

[0137] Furthermore, if the supplier manages receipt data collectively on a part-by-part basis, generating the integrated order record R' has the added advantage of enabling appropriate data management, since the management units of the supplier's receipt data and the ordering company's order data can be aligned.

[0138] Furthermore, in the ordering system 1 of this embodiment, the control unit 40 is configured to be able to integrate multiple order records R that have the same product identification information (in this embodiment, drawing number) and the same process type information (in this embodiment, process name) to generate an integrated order record R', and the order record R includes the unit price and acceptance delivery date of the outsourcing process to be ordered, the unit price of the integrated order record R' is recalculated based on the outsourcing process of the integrated multiple order records R, the acceptance delivery date of the integrated order record R' is re-determined based on the acceptance delivery dates of the integrated multiple order records R, and the quantity of the integrated order record R' is the sum of the quantities of the integrated multiple order records R.

[0139] By having such a configuration, when multiple ordered products contain multiple identical parts, multiple order records R for the same part can be consolidated, and when the lot unit price of the outsourced process changes, the cost of the outsourced process can be reduced, which has the advantage of improving ordering efficiency.

[0140] Furthermore, if the supplier manages receipt data collectively on a part-by-part basis, generating the integrated order record R' has the added advantage of enabling appropriate data management, since the management units of the supplier's receipt data and the ordering company's order data can be aligned.

[0141] Furthermore, in the ordering system 1 according to this embodiment, the control unit 40 is configured to be able to divide the integrated order record R' into multiple order records R. This configuration has the advantage of improving ordering efficiency, because it allows for dividing the order record and placing orders when, for example, dividing orders into multiple suppliers depending on the unit price or inventory status of the suppliers can reduce the cost of outsourcing processes or shorten delivery times.

[0142] [Variations] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the scope described in the above-described embodiments. Various modifications and improvements can be made to the above-described embodiments.

[0143] For example, in the above-described embodiment, the control unit 40 has been described as being configured to be able to execute an integrated order record generation process that integrates multiple order records R that satisfy predetermined conditions and generates an integrated order record R', but this is not limiting. The control unit 40 does not have to be able to execute an integrated order record generation process that integrates multiple order records R that satisfy predetermined conditions and generates an integrated order record R'.
