The data stored in the memory unit 106 may also be stored in the server 200, for example.

[0021] An input device 112 and an output device 114 are connected to the input / output interface unit 108. The output device 114 may be a monitor (including a home television), a speaker, or a printer. The input device 112 may be a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, or a monitor that functions as a pointing device in cooperation with a mouse. In the following, the output device 114 may be referred to as the monitor 114, and the input device 112 may be referred to as the keyboard 112 or the mouse 112.

[0022] Various databases, tables, files, etc. are stored in the storage unit 106. Computer programs that work in conjunction with an OS (Operating System) to issue commands to a CPU (Central Processing Unit) to perform various processes are recorded in the storage unit 106. The storage unit 106 can be, for example, a memory device such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a ROM (Read Only Memory), a fixed disk device such as a hard disk, a flexible disk, an optical disk, etc.

[0023] Various masters and various data are stored in the storage unit 106. Specifically, the storage unit 106 stores a product number master 121, purchase data 122, an order quota master 123, etc., and the order quota master 123 includes order quota header data 123a and order quota detail data 123b.

[0024] The various masters and data will be described below. Note that if there are overlapping items among the items included in the various masters and data, the description of the overlapping items will be partially omitted.

[0025] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a product number master. The product number master 121 is data related to product ordering. As shown in FIG. 2, the product number master 121 includes items such as product number code, product number name, lower threshold limit, upper threshold limit, and minimum number of past orders, and these pieces of information are associated with each other. The product number code is a code for identifying a product. The product number name is the product name, for example, "raw material A." The lower threshold limit and upper threshold limit are coefficients for setting a range that includes the upper and lower limits of the product's order quota. The minimum number of past orders is the minimum number of purchase data required when setting and registering a product's order quota.

[0026] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of purchase data. Purchase data 122 is data on past order performance when products were purchased from suppliers. Purchase data 122 includes items such as business division, purchase date, supplier, product number code, product number name, and purchase quantity, and these pieces of information are associated with each other. The business division is the name of the business division that purchased the product, such as the name of a factory. The purchase date is the date on which the product was purchased. The supplier is the code and supplier name used to identify the product supplier. The product number code and product number name are the same as those in product number master 121. The purchase quantity is the quantity of the product purchased.

[0027] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of order quota header data in the order quota master. The order quota header data 123a is header data generated when an order quota is set and registered. The order quota header data 123a includes the following fields: business division, quota order date, supplier, product number code, product number name, application start date, application end date, past performance start date, past performance end date, past purchase performance, threshold value (lower limit), threshold value (upper limit), order limit (lower limit), order limit (upper limit), current order quota total, and approval status, and these pieces of information are associated with each other. The business division, supplier, product number code, product number name, threshold value (lower limit), and threshold value (upper limit) are the same as those in the various masters and data described above. The quota order date is the date on which the product was ordered. The application start date is the start date applied to the current order quota setting and registration. The application end date is the end date applied to the current order quota setting and registration. The past performance start date is the start date applied to extract past order quota order performance. The past performance end date is the end date applied to extracting past order quota order performance. Past purchase performance is the purchase quantity of past order performance. Order limit (lower limit) is the order quantity of products that is the lower limit of the order quota. Order limit (upper limit) is the order quantity of products that is the upper limit of the order quota. The current order quota total is the total of all business divisions for the order quota that has been ordered (applied) this time. The approval status indicates whether or not the requested order quota has been approved.

[0028] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of order quota detail data in the order quota master. The order quota detail data 123b includes the following items: business division, order limit (lower limit), order limit (upper limit), past purchase performance, current order quota, unit price, and amount, and these pieces of information are associated with each other. The business division, order limit (lower limit), order limit (upper limit), past purchase performance, and current order quota are the same as the various masters and data described above, and are values ​​for each business division. The unit price is the unit price of the product. The amount is the unit price of the product multiplied by the number of orders.

[0029] Next, the control unit 102 will be described with reference to Fig. 1 again. The control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that performs overall control of the order management device 100. The control unit 102 has an internal memory for storing control programs such as an OS, programs that define various processing procedures, required data, etc., and executes various information processing operations based on these stored programs.

[0030] The control unit 102 performs processes such as setting and registering product order quotas, applying for product order quotas, and approving product order quotas based on various masters and data stored in the memory unit 106 as part of the process of managing product ordering transactions.

[0031] A specific example of the processing executed by the control unit 102 will be described in detail below in [2. Specific Example of Processing].

[0032] [2. Specific examples of processing] Here, a specific example of the processing executed by the order management device 100 will be described with reference to Fig. 6 to Fig. 16. First, an order management method executed by the order management device 100 will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the order management method.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 6, in order of order management, application for product order quota (order quota input), approval of product order quota (order quota confirmation input), order input, and order quota inquiry are executed in this order.

[0034] The control unit 102 executes the setting and registration of the product order quota when applying for a product order quota. Specifically, when the control unit 102 executes the application process for the product order quota, it displays the screen G1 shown in FIG. 7 on the output device 114 (step S1). FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the order quota input screen. The order quota input screen G1 is a screen for inputting items of the order quota header data 123a. The order quota input screen G1 also displays items such as past performance, order limit, and total order quota.

[0035] Here, the items of past performance, order limit, and total order limit are displayed when the setting and registration of the order limit for the product is executed. When input is executed based on the order limit input screen G1, the control unit 102 executes the setting and registration of the order limit for the product based on the product number master 121 and the purchase data 122. Specifically, when each item of the order limit header data 123a is input on the order limit input screen G1, the control unit 102 acquires the purchase data 122 corresponding to the past performance start date to the past performance end date (range of past dates). As shown in FIG. 3, there are, for example, six items of purchase data 122 to be targeted.

[0036] The control unit 102 determines whether the number of matching items in the target purchase data 122 is equal to or greater than the number set in the past minimum number of items in the product number master 121. If the control unit 102 determines that the number of matching items is less than the minimum number, it executes a warning process to display a warning screen G2 shown in FIG. 8 on the output device 114. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the warning screen. Note that the warning screen G2 has an operation button ("Yes") that allows the setting and registration of an order quota for the product even if the number of matching items is less than the past minimum number.

[0037] If the number of relevant cases is equal to or greater than the minimum number in the past, or if the "Yes" operation button on the warning screen G2 is operated, the control unit 102 aggregates the acquired purchasing data 122 to generate aggregated purchasing data 122A shown in FIG. 9. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of aggregated purchasing data. The purchasing data 122A shown in FIG. 9 is data that sums up the number of purchases for each business division. The control unit 102 multiplies the number of purchases in the purchasing data 122A shown in FIG. 9 by the threshold value (lower limit) and threshold value (upper limit) of the product number master 121, respectively, to calculate the lower limit and upper limit of the current ordering limit. Then, the control unit 102 sets and registers the calculated range of product ordering limits from the lower limit to the upper limit of the current ordering limit.

[0038] Thereafter, in step S1, the control unit 102 executes a process for applying for a product order quota based on the range of the product order quota that has been set and registered. The control unit 102 displays a screen G3 shown in FIG. 10 on the output device 114. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of an order quota input screen. The order quota input screen G3 of FIG. 10 is similar to the order quota input screen G1 of FIG. 7, and the order quota application information of each business division is input in the center of the screen. The order quota application is input on a screen G4 shown in FIG. 11. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of an order quota detail screen. The order quota detail screen G4 is a screen for displaying and inputting the items of the order quota header data 123a and the order quota detail data 123b. When the order quota number is input in the order quota item, the control unit 102 acquires it as the requested number of product order quotas. The control unit 102 determines whether the acquired requested number is outside the range of the product order quota that has been set and registered. When the control unit 102 determines that the acquired number of applications is outside the range of the order quota, it executes a warning process of displaying a warning screen G5 shown in Fig. 12 on the output device 114. Fig. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the warning screen. Note that the warning screen G5 is provided with an operation button ("Yes") that allows an application for the order quota to be executed even if the number of applications is outside the range of the order quota.

[0039] If the number of applications is within the range of the order quota, or if the operation button "Yes" on the warning screen G5 is operated, the control unit 102 updates (generates) the order quota master 123 based on the acquired number of applications.

[0040] After the application for the order quota has been submitted, the control unit 102 executes approval of the product order quota (input of order quota confirmation) (step S2). Specifically, when the control unit 102 executes the approval process for the product order quota, it displays a screen G6 shown in FIG. 13 on the output device 114. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the approval screen and the order quota input screen. The approval screen G6 in FIG. 13 displays the order quota application information of each business division, along with check boxes for approval or rejection. When the approval check box is entered, the control unit 102 executes approval processing to approve the applied order quota application of each business division and update the approval status of the order quota header data 123a to "approved." After this, the control unit 102 disables input on the order quota input screen G3, allowing only reference (display). On the other hand, when the reject check box is entered, the control unit 102 executes rejection processing to reject the applied order quota application of each business division and update the approval status of the order quota header data 123a to "unapproved."

[0041] After the order quota is approved, the control unit 102 accepts an order input based on the approved product order quota (step S3). Specifically, when the control unit 102 executes the product order input process, it displays a screen G7 shown in FIG. 14 on the output device 114. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of an order input screen. The order input screen G7 in FIG. 14 has fields for inputting the business establishment, order date, supplier, and product number. Furthermore, the order input screen G7 in FIG. 14 displays information regarding order input for the order quota of each business division in the center of the screen. Order input for the order quota is entered on a screen G8 shown in FIG. 15. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of an order details screen. The order details screen G8 displays some of the fields of the order quota header data 123a and the order quota detail data 123b. Furthermore, the order details screen G8 includes fields for inputting the order quantity, as well as fields for displaying the order quota and the remaining number of order quotas. The remaining order quota is the remaining order quota obtained by subtracting the order quota that has already been ordered from the set and registered order quota.

[0042] When an order quantity is input in the order quantity field on the order details screen G8, the control unit 102 determines whether the input order quantity is greater than the remaining order quota. If the control unit 102 determines that the input order quantity is greater than the remaining order quota, it executes a warning process to display a warning screen G9 shown in FIG. 16 on the output device 114. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of the warning screen. Note that the warning screen G9 is provided with an operation button ("Yes") that allows the execution of an order even if the order quantity is greater than the remaining order quota.

[0043] If the order quantity is equal to or less than the remaining order quota, or if the operation button "Yes" on the warning screen G9 is operated, the control unit 102 executes an order process based on the input order quantity.

[0044] As described above, according to this embodiment, product order quotas can be quickly set and registered based on past purchasing data 122, and the efficiency of operations related to setting and registering order quotas can be improved.

[0045] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the range of the order quota for the product can be set and registered based on the appropriate number of relevant items in the purchase data 122.

[0046] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to encourage applications so that the number of applications for product order quotas falls within the range of the registered product order quota.

[0047] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to execute approval or rejection processing for an application for an order quota for a product.

[0048] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to encourage ordering so that the number of products ordered is equal to or less than the remaining number of orders.

[0049] [3. Contribution to the United Nations-led Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)] This embodiment can contribute to improving business efficiency and promoting appropriate management decisions by companies, thereby contributing to the achievement of SDGs Goals 8 and 9.

[0050] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to reducing waste and promoting paperless and electronic systems, thereby contributing to the achievement of SDGs Goals 12, 13, and 15.

[0051] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to strengthening control and governance, which can contribute to the achievement of Goal 16 of the SDGs.
