[0013] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment.

[0014] [1. Overview] First, an overview of the present invention will be described.

[0015] For example, there are businesses such as school lunch providers where the day of the week for delivery of products is determined for each delivery route. Previously, when calculating the shipping date and delivery date, there was no perspective on delivery for each route, and delivery lists for each route were prepared by handling outside the system or by personal handling, which made it difficult to respond when the person in charge was absent and caused problems with incorrect shipping. Previously, in order to register the correct shipping date, it was necessary to calculate and input the shipping date based on the experience of the person entering the data and a list of delivery days for each customer and delivery route.

[0016] Therefore, in this embodiment, in cases where the delivery day of the week is fixed for each delivery route, in order to prevent dependency on the delivery person and erroneous shipping, the delivery day of the week for each delivery route is managed in a master, so that the accurate delivery and shipping date is automatically calculated, and further, when the delivery person picks up, an accurate delivery list is created based on the day of the week setting for each route.

[0017] Specifically, in this embodiment, (1) the delivery route master manages the link between delivery routes and business partners, and the delivery route day of the week master manages the link between delivery routes and delivery days of the week, (2) when an order is entered, the shipping date is automatically calculated by combining the calendar master and the delivery route master, and (3) the order data is referenced with the delivery shipping date and delivery route to output a delivery list.

[0018] According to this embodiment, it is possible to calculate an accurate shipping date, prevent dependency on the person inputting the information, and prevent inventory loss and shortages by capturing the correct expected inventory.

[0019] [2. Configuration] An example of the configuration of the delivery management device 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the delivery management device 100.

[0020] The delivery management device 100 is a commercially available desktop personal computer. The delivery management device 100 is not limited to a stationary information processing device such as a desktop personal computer, but may be a portable information processing device such as a commercially available notebook personal computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a smartphone, or a tablet personal computer.

[0021] The delivery management device 100 includes a control unit 102, a communication interface unit 104, a storage unit 106, and an input / output interface unit 108. The units included in the delivery management device 100 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via any communication path.

[0022] The communication interface unit 104 communicably connects the delivery management device 100 to the network 300 via a communication device such as a router and a wired or wireless communication line such as a dedicated line. The communication interface unit 104 has a function of communicating data with other devices via the communication line. Here, the network 300 has a function of connecting the delivery management device 100 and the server 200 to each other so that they can communicate with each other, and is, for example, the Internet or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0023] 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 touch panel), a speaker, or a printer.

[0024] Various databases, tables, files, etc. are stored in the storage unit 106. Computer programs for cooperating with an OS (Operating System) to give instructions to a CPU (Central Processing Unit) to perform various processes are recorded in the storage unit 106. For example, memory devices such as RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read Only Memory), fixed disk devices such as hard disks, flexible disks, optical disks, etc. can be used as the storage unit 106.

[0025] The storage unit 106 also includes a calendar master 106a, a delivery route master 106b, a delivery route day of the week master 106c, an order file 106d, and a delivery list file 106e. Fig. 2 shows examples of the order input screen, the calendar master 106a, the delivery route master 106b, and the delivery route day of the week master 106c.

[0026] Calendar master 106a can be configured as a table in which the data of date, holiday classification, and day of the week are registered in association with each other, as shown in Fig. 2. Date is registered as a key item. Holiday classification is, for example, 0: business day, 1: non-business day, and day of the week is registered as Sunday to Saturday.

[0027] The delivery route master 106b can be configured as a table or the like in which data on delivery route numbers, delivery orders, and delivery destination codes are associated and registered, as shown in Fig. 2. The delivery route number is the designation number of the delivery route (key item), the delivery order is the order of delivery within the delivery route (key item), and the delivery destination code is the code of the delivery destination.

[0028] The delivery route day of the week master 106c can be configured as a table that associates and registers data on the delivery route number, delivery route SEQ, delivery day of the week, and holiday processing category. The delivery route number is the designation number (key item) of the delivery route, the delivery route SEQ is the SEQ (key item) for delivery on multiple days of the week, the delivery day of the week is the delivery day registered, and the holiday processing category is the processing when the designated day of the week is a holiday, for example, 0: previous business day, 1: next business day.

[0029] The order file 106d is a file for storing order data. The order input screen (order data) includes the following items: order date, customer code, delivery destination code, secondary delivery destination code, shipping date, and delivery shipping date, as shown in Fig. 2. The delivery shipping date is calculated and set by the delivery shipping date calculation unit 102b.

[0030] The distribution list file 106e is a file for storing a distribution list.

[0031] The control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that performs overall control of the delivery 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 based on these stored programs. In terms of function and concept, the control unit 102 includes an order input unit 102a, a delivery shipping date calculation unit 102b, a delivery list output unit 102c, a screen display control unit 102d, and a master maintenance unit 102e.

[0032] The order input unit 102a inputs order data including the order date, delivery destination (customer, delivery destination, secondary delivery destination), product, quantity, shipping date, etc., in response to operations by an operator or the like on the order input screen (see Figure 4), and stores the data in the order file 106d.

[0033] The delivery shipping date calculation unit 102b acquires a delivery route from the delivery route master 106b using the delivery destination of the order data as a key, acquires a delivery day of the week and holiday processing classification from the delivery route day of the week master 106c using the acquired delivery route as a key, acquires a holiday classification and day of the week from the calendar master 106a using the shipping date of the order data as a key, calculates a delivery shipping date based on the shipping date, the delivery day of the week and holiday processing classification acquired from the delivery route day of the week master 106c, and the holiday classification and day of the week acquired from the calendar master 106a, and sets the delivery shipping date of the order data. The delivery destination may be determined in the following order: secondary delivery destination, delivery destination, customer.

[0034] The delivery list output unit 102c refers to the delivery route master 106b and the order data based on the specified delivery shipment date and delivery route, and creates and outputs a delivery list of the specified delivery shipment date and delivery route, or stores it in a delivery list file 106e.

[0035] The screen display control unit 102d controls the display of various input screens (for example, an order input screen, a delivery list extraction screen, a master maintenance screen, etc.) displayed on the monitor 114 and the input thereto.

[0036] The master maintenance section 102e is for performing editing such as inputting, adding, changing, etc. of data in the calendar master 106a, the delivery route master 106b, and the delivery route day of the week master 106c in response to operations by an administrator or the like on a master maintenance screen (not shown) displayed on the monitor 112.

[0037] [3. Specific examples of processing] A specific example of the processing of the delivery management device 100 in this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 10. First, an overview of the overall processing of the delivery management device 100 in this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 3 to 5. Figure 3 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the overall processing of the delivery management device 100 in this embodiment.

[0038] 3, the order input unit 102a inputs the order date, delivery destination (customer, delivery destination, secondary delivery destination), and shipping date in response to an operator's operation on the order input screen (step S1). The delivery destination may be determined in the following order: secondary delivery destination > delivery destination > customer.

[0039] The delivery shipping date calculation unit 102b calculates the delivery shipping date based on the delivery destination and shipping date, with reference to the calendar master 106a, the delivery route master 106b, and the delivery route day of the week master 106c (step S2).

[0040] Specifically, delivery shipping date calculation unit 102b acquires a delivery route from delivery route master 106b using the delivery destination of the order data as a key, acquires a delivery day of the week and holiday processing classification from delivery route day of the week master 106c using the acquired delivery route as a key, acquires the holiday classification and day of the week from calendar master 106a using the shipping date of the order data as a key, calculates the delivery shipping date based on the shipping date, the delivery day of the week and holiday processing classification acquired from delivery route day of the week master 106c, and the holiday classification and day of the week acquired from calendar master 106a, and sets the delivery shipping date of the order data.

[0041] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of an image of an order input screen. In the figure, only the minimum necessary items are displayed. The example of the order input screen shown in FIG. 4 includes fields for inputting the customer, delivery destination, and secondary delivery destination, a field for inputting the order date, a field for inputting the shipping date, and a field for displaying the delivery shipping date. When the customer, delivery destination, or secondary delivery destination and the shipping date are input, the delivery shipping date is automatically calculated and displayed by the delivery shipping date calculation unit 102b. In the example shown in the figure, the customer "01234567", the delivery destination "012345670", the secondary delivery destination "0123456701", the order date "2019 / 1 / 23", and the shipping date "2019 / 1 / 24" are input, and the delivery destination is determined in the order of secondary delivery destination > delivery destination > customer, so the delivery destination is the secondary delivery destination "0123456701". Then, based on the delivery destination "0123456701" and the shipping date "2019 / 1 / 24", the delivery shipping date calculation unit 102b automatically calculates and displays the delivery shipping date "2019 / 1 / 25".

[0042] The delivery list output unit 102c creates and outputs a delivery list of the specified delivery shipping date and delivery route by referring to the delivery route master 106b and the order data based on the specified delivery shipping date and delivery route (step S3).

[0043] Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a delivery list. The example delivery list shown in Fig. 5 includes the following items: route number, delivery date (delivery shipment date), delivery order, delivery destination, delivery destination name, product code, product name, quantity, unit, loading, and unloading. The delivery person checks the loading and unloading by hand.

[0044] Next, the delivery / shipping date calculation logic of the delivery / shipping date calculation unit 102b will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing a flow for explaining the delivery / shipping date calculation logic of the delivery / shipping date calculation unit 102b.

[0045] In FIG. 6, on the order input screen, if the product is to be delivered directly to the customer, only the customer is input; if the product is to be delivered to a delivery destination, the customer and delivery destination are input; if the product is to be delivered to a secondary delivery destination, the customer, delivery destination, and secondary delivery destination are input (step S11).

[0046] The first item entered in the order of secondary delivery destination > delivery destination > customer is recognized as the delivery destination (step S12).

[0047] Using the delivery destination as a key, a delivery route is obtained from the delivery route master 106b, and using the obtained delivery route as a key, a delivery day of the week and holiday processing classification are obtained from the delivery route day of the week master 106c (step S13).

[0048] On the order entry screen, the date when the goods will be ready to be shipped from the warehouse is entered as the shipping date (step S14).

[0049] Using the input shipping date as a key, the holiday classification and day of the week are obtained from the calendar master 106a (step S15).

[0050] The delivery shipping date is calculated according to the following pattern (step S16).

[0051] S21: If the holiday classification in the calendar master 106a is "0: business day" and the delivery day of the delivery route day of the week master 106c is equal to the day of the week in the calendar master 106a, the delivery shipping date is the shipping date.

[0052] S22: If the holiday classification in the calendar master 106a is "1: non-business day" and the delivery day in the delivery route day of the week master 106c is equal to the day in the calendar master 106a, the next delivery day is obtained, and the smallest date that matches the day of the week obtained in the calendar master 106a other than the current day is obtained. (1) If the holiday processing category is "1: Next business day", the delivery date is the first business day after the date obtained in S22. (2) If the holiday processing category is "0: previous business day", obtain the last business day before the date obtained in S22. (2)-1 If the date obtained in (2) is after the shipping date entered, the delivery shipping date will be the date obtained in (2)-2 (2)-2 If the date acquired in (2) is before the entered shipping date, the next delivery day of the week after the date acquired in S22 is acquired, and the calendar master 106a acquires the smallest date that is equal to or greater than the date acquired in S22 and matches the acquired day of the week. After that, the judgments in (1) and (2) are repeated until it is identified.

[0053] S23: If the delivery day of the week in the delivery route day of the week master ≠ the day of the week in the calendar master, the delivery day of the week next to the shipping day is obtained, and the judgments of S21 and S22 are repeated.

[0054] Next, a specific example of the delivery shipment date calculation will be described with reference to Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing examples of data of the calendar master 106a, the delivery route master 106b, and the delivery route day of the week master 106c.

[0055] (Example 1) In the case of the delivery route "00001" and the shipping date "2019 / 1 / 22", it corresponds to S21 in Figure 6, and the holiday classification in the calendar master 106a is "0: business day" and the delivery day of the week "Tuesday" in the delivery route day of the week master 106c = the day of the week "Tuesday, business day" in the calendar master 106a, so the delivery shipping date is the shipping date, "2019 / 1 / 22".

[0056] (Example 2) In the case of the delivery route "00001" and the shipping date "2019 / 1 / 29", it corresponds to S22 in FIG. 6, the holiday classification in the calendar master 106a is "1: Holiday", the delivery day of the week "Tuesday" in the delivery route day of the week master 106c = the day of the week "Tuesday" in the calendar master 106a, and the holiday processing classification is "0: Previous business day", so the delivery shipping date is "2019 / 1 / 28".

[0057] (Example 3) If the delivery route is "00002" and the shipping date is "2019 / 1 / 29", it corresponds to S23 in Figure 6, and the delivery route day of the week master 106c is "Monday, Wednesday", and the day of the week is "Tuesday holiday (holiday processing classification is 0: previous business day)" in the calendar master 106a, so the delivery shipping date is "2019 / 1 / 30".

[0058] Next, a specific example of delivery list output will be explained. The delivery shipping date is calculated based on the above calculation logic, and the delivery shipping date is updated when the order is entered. A sample of the order data that is the source data for the picking list output is shown in Fig. 8. Fig. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the delivery list extraction screen. Fig. 10 is a diagram showing a sample of the delivery list.

[0059] In Fig. 8(A), the order data includes the order number, line number, customer code, customer name, delivery destination code, delivery destination name, secondary delivery destination code, secondary delivery destination name, product code, product name, quantity, unit, order date, shipping date, and delivery shipping date. In the example shown in Fig. 8(A), the delivery destination is determined in the following order: secondary delivery destination > delivery destination > customer, so the order number "A00001" is delivery destination "01234567", the order number "A00002" is delivery destination "012345670", and the order number "A00003" is delivery destination "0123456701".

[0060] FIG. 8B shows an example of data of the delivery route master 106b, and is similar to FIG.

[0061] 9, the delivery date and the delivery route number are specified. The delivery list output unit 102c acquires the delivery destination from the delivery route master 106b using the delivery route number as a key, extracts the order data using the delivery date and the delivery destination as keys, and creates a delivery list.

[0062] In the example shown in Figure 9, the delivery date is "2019 / 01 / 30" and the route number is "00002". Using the delivery route number "00002" as a key, the delivery destinations "012345670" and "0123456701" are obtained from the delivery route master 106b, and using the delivery date "2019 / 01 / 30" and the delivery destinations "012345670" and "0123456701" as keys, the order data of "Order Number A00002", line number "1", "Order Number A00002", line number "2", "Order Number A00003", and line number "1" are extracted, and a delivery list as shown in Figure 10 is created and output.

[0063] As described above, according to this embodiment, there are a calendar master 106a in which dates, holiday classifications, and days of the week are registered in association with each other, a delivery route master 106b in which delivery routes, delivery orders, and delivery destinations are registered in association with each other, a delivery route day of the week master 106c in which delivery routes, delivery days of the week, and holiday processing classifications are registered in association with each other, an order input unit 102a for inputting order data including an order date, delivery destination, product, quantity, and shipping date, and a system for acquiring a delivery route from the delivery route master 106b using the delivery destination of the order data as a key and storing the acquired delivery route as a key. The delivery shipping date calculation unit 102b acquires the delivery day of the week and holiday processing classification from the delivery route day of the week master 106c, acquires the holiday classification and day of the week using the shipping date of the order data as a key, calculates the delivery shipping date based on the shipping date, the delivery day of the week and holiday processing classification acquired from the delivery route day of the week master 106c, and the holiday classification and day of the week acquired from the calendar master 106a, and sets the delivery shipping date of the order data. Therefore, when the delivery day of the week is fixed for each delivery route, it is possible to prevent personalization of the deliverer and erroneous shipping.
