DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

[0018] [1. Overview] For example, one method of storing imported cargo in the warehousing industry is the concept of "group storage" (see the Customs Law Basic Notice). This is a storage method that allows cargo with different arrival dates to be grouped together and stored at the same time under certain conditions.

[0019] To carry out group storage, a notification form (also called a "declaration") must be submitted to customs, stating (1) the control number of each location within the group, (2) the item and name of the cargo to be stored, and (3) the applicable period. This notification form is required in all cases where group storage is carried out, cancelled, or the scope is changed.

[0020] However, in the past, the information required for the notification form (1) to (3) above for group storage was managed outside the system (Excel, etc.), which meant that it took time to ensure consistency with the notification content.

[0021] Furthermore, this type of information management operation made it difficult to switch grouping ranges according to the availability of storage locations. As a result, the work of maintaining consistency and changing management took time, preventing improvements in storage efficiency.

[0022] Specifically, for example, if a silo (a tank for storing rice, wheat, or feed) that has been registered for rice storage is empty and a large amount of wheat is imported, the silo would be used to store the wheat. To do this, a group storage change notification must be submitted and the silo changed to one for managing wheat. However, organizing the information required to submit the change notification takes time, and the available capacity cannot be used effectively.

[0023] In this embodiment, the necessary information for group storage of import cargo is managed in a master file and consistency checks are performed, enabling quick and accurate confirmation of the consistency of group storage. This reduces the burden of operating group storage in accordance with notification forms. Furthermore, in this embodiment, master file management makes it possible to efficiently perform changes to group storage (starting, ending, and changing the range of group storage).

[0024] This embodiment is widely applicable to the warehousing of imported goods, and can be suitably used, for example, in the warehousing industry (a business that handles cargo that is stacked flat rather than pallet-managed) in businesses that store bulk cargo in silos, stacked flat, etc. The following describes an example in which grain is imported and stored in a silo, but the present invention can be applied to other imported goods, and the warehouse is not limited to a silo but can also be applied to bins, tanks, open-air storage, etc.

[0025] The types of warehouse number group checks in this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 3. The warehouse number group check device in this embodiment can set the unit for managing warehousing by item or product name from three patterns using master settings: 1: by item, 2: by product name, and 3: by ship product name.

[0026] 1: Check warehouse number group by item Warehouse entry management is performed for each item. If the item of the cargo to be warehoused is the same as the item in the warehouse number group, the item can be stored in a warehouse that belongs to the same warehouse number group, but if the items in the warehouse number group are different, the item cannot be stored in a warehouse that belongs to a different warehouse number group.

[0027] Figure 1 is a diagram for explaining the warehouse number group check by item. Figure 1(A) is a diagram showing an example of cargo information scheduled for warehousing. Figure 1(B) is a diagram showing the warehousing status of warehouses 111, 112, and 113 of the warehouse number group "corn (item)", and Figure 1(C) is a diagram showing the warehousing status of warehouse 114 of the warehouse number group "milo (item)".

[0028] The cargo information scheduled for warehousing shown in Figure 1(A) is "US Corn," product name "Corn," and ship "Vessel A."

[0029] The warehouse number group "Corn (item)" shown in Figure 1(B) includes "Warehouse: 111," "Warehouse: 112," and "Warehouse: 113." "Warehouse: 111" belongs to vessel "Vessel A" and the product name is "US. Corn." "Warehouse: 112" belongs to vessel "Vessel B" and the product name is "US. Corn." "Warehouse: 113" belongs to vessel "Vessel A" and the product name is "BR. Corn."

[0030] The warehouse group "Milo (item)" shown in Figure 1(C) includes "Warehouse: 114." "Warehouse: 114" is the vessel "Vessel A" and the product name is "US. Milo."

[0031] As shown in Figure 1(B), "warehouse: 111," "warehouse: 112," and "warehouse: 113" are in the "corn" warehouse number group, so they can store the cargo "corn (item)" that is scheduled to be stored in the warehouse. Also, as shown in Figure 1(C), "warehouse: 114" is in the "milo" warehouse number group, so it cannot store the cargo "corn (item)" that is scheduled to be stored in the warehouse. Also, it is not possible to change warehouses between warehouse number groups that have different items.

[0032] 2: Check the warehouse number group by product name Warehouse entry management is performed for each product name. If the product name of the cargo to be warehoused is the same as the product name of the warehouse, it is possible to enter the warehouse with the same product name, but it is not possible to enter the warehouse with a different product name. As a prerequisite, the product name that is the higher-level classification of the product name must be in the same warehouse number group.

[0033] Figure 2 is a diagram for explaining warehouse number group checks by item. Figure 2(A) is a diagram showing an example of cargo information scheduled for warehousing. Figure 2(B) is a diagram showing the warehousing status of warehouses 111, 112, and 113 for the warehouse number group "corn (item)", and Figure 2(C) is a diagram showing the warehousing status of warehouse 114 for the warehouse number group "milo (item)". The cargo information scheduled for warehousing, warehouse number group "corn (item)", and warehouse number group "milo (item)" in Figures 2(A) to 2(C) are the same as those in Figures 1(A) to 1(C).

[0034] As shown in Figure 2(C), the cargo "US. Corn (product name)" scheduled for warehousing cannot be stored in or transferred to "Warehouse: 114," which does not have a corn warehouse number group. As shown in Figure 2(B), the cargo "US. Corn (product name)" scheduled for warehousing can be stored in "Warehouse: 111" and "Warehouse: 112," which have the "Corn (product)" warehouse number group, but cannot be stored in or transferred to "Warehouse: 113," where the incoming inventory product name is not US. Corn.

[0035] 3: Check warehouse number group by ship's product name Warehouse entry is managed by the product name on board. If the ship carrying the cargo to be warehoused is the same as the ship carrying the cargo in the warehouse, the ship can enter the same warehouse, but it is not possible for the ship to enter a different warehouse. The prerequisite is that the product name and the warehouse must be the same.

[0036] Figure 3 is a diagram for explaining warehouse number group checks by ship's product name. Figure 3(A) is a diagram showing an example of cargo information scheduled for warehousing. Figure 3(B) is a diagram showing the warehousing status of warehouses 111, 112, and 113 for the warehouse number group "corn (item)," and Figure 3(C) is a diagram showing the warehousing status of warehouse 114 for the warehouse number group "milo (item)." The cargo information scheduled for warehousing, warehouse number group "corn (item)," and warehouse number group "milo (item)" in Figures 3(A) to 3(C) are the same as those in Figures 1(A) to 1(C).

[0037] As shown in Figure 3(C), the cargo scheduled for warehousing (item name "Corn", product name "US. Corn", ship "Vessel A") cannot be stored or transferred to "Warehouse: 114", which does not have a warehouse number group for corn. As shown in Figure 3(B), storage into "Warehouse: 111" is possible, but storage into or transfer to "Warehouse: 113", where the incoming inventory product name is not US. Corn, is not possible, and storage into or transfer to "Warehouse: 112", where the incoming inventory ship is not Vessel A, is also not possible. The following explanation mainly explains pattern "2: Check warehouse number group by product name".

[0038] [2. Configuration] An example of the configuration of the storehouse number group check device 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 4 to 10.

[0058] When cargo arrives, the warehousing input unit 102b inputs cargo information to be warehoused, including product name identification information, commodity identification information, ship identification information, warehousing date, and quantity, in response to an operator's operation on a warehousing input screen displayed on the monitor 114, and registers the information in the data table 106g, and also specifies the warehouse identification information and quantity of the warehousing destination in order to perform a warehouse number group check. The warehouse may include a silo, a bin, a tank, or a dirt floor (open storage).

[0059] The checking unit 102c determines whether the quantity of cargo specified in the warehouse identification information of the warehouse destination specified on the warehouse entry screen can be stored for the cargo scheduled to be stored by referring to the warehouse master 106a, warehouse number group master 106b, warehouse number group management master 106c, item name-specific warehousing management master 106f, and warehouse-specific inventory information.

[0060] If the item identification information of the cargo information scheduled for warehousing is the same as the item identification information of the identified warehouse number group master, the checking unit 102c may identify the warehousing category of the warehousing management master 106f by the item name identification information of the cargo information scheduled for warehousing and the warehousing date of the cargo information scheduled for warehousing.

[0061] When the identified warehousing category is by item, the check unit 102c may determine that warehousing is possible if the condition of the allowable capacity of the warehouse identification information in the warehouse master 106a ≧ the quantity of the warehouse identification information in the warehouse-specific inventory information + the quantity of the warehouse identification information in the cargo scheduled to be warehoused is met, and may display an error message if the condition is not met.

[0062] If the specified warehousing category is by item name, the check unit 102c compares the item name identification information of the cargo information to be warehoused with the item name identification information of the warehouse-specific inventory information for the specified warehouse identification information to determine whether they are identical, and if they are not identical, displays an error message.If the item name identification information of the cargo information to be warehoused is identical with the item name identification information of the warehouse-specific inventory information for the specified warehouse identification information, it may determine that the cargo can be warehoused if the condition of the capacity of the warehouse identification information in the warehouse master 106a ≧ the quantity of the warehouse identification information in the warehouse-specific inventory information + the quantity of the warehouse identification information in the cargo to be warehoused is met, and if this condition is not met, displays an error message.

[0063] If the specified warehousing classification is by ship's product name, the check unit 102c compares the product name identification information of the cargo information to be warehoused with the product name identification information of the warehouse-specific inventory information for the specified warehouse identification information to determine whether they are identical, and displays an error message if they are not identical; if the product name identification information of the cargo information to be warehoused and the product name identification information of the warehouse-specific inventory information for the specified warehouse identification information are identical, the check unit 102c compares the ship identification information of the cargo information to be warehoused with the ship identification information of the warehouse-specific inventory information for the specified warehouse identification information, and displays an error message if they are not identical; if the ship identification information of the cargo information to be warehoused and the ship identification information of the warehouse-specific inventory information for the specified warehouse identification information are identical, it may determine that warehousing is possible if the condition of ``capacity of the warehouse identification information in the warehouse master 106a ≧ quantity of the warehouse identification information in the warehouse-specific inventory information + quantity of the warehouse identification information of the cargo to be warehoused'' is met, and displays an error message if this condition is not met.

[0064] The master maintenance unit 102d, for example, performs settings such as inputting, adding, deleting, and editing data for the warehouse master 106a, warehouse number group master 106b, warehouse number group management master 106c, item master 106d, product name master 106e, and inventory management master by item and product name 106f, in response to operator operations on the master maintenance screen displayed on the monitor 114.

[0065] The screen display control unit 102e controls the display of various screens (for example, a warehouse entry screen, a master maintenance screen, etc.) displayed on the monitor 114 and the inputs thereto.

[0066] [3. Specific Examples] Specific examples of the processing performed by the control unit 102 of the warehouse number group check device 100 in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0067] (3-1. Overall processing) 11 is a diagram showing a flow for explaining an outline of the overall processing of the control unit 102 of the warehouse number group check device 100 in this embodiment. With reference to FIG. 11, an outline of the overall processing of the control unit 102 of the warehouse number group check device 100 in this embodiment will be described.

[0069] The warehousing input unit 102b executes warehousing input processing (step S2). When cargo arrives, the warehousing input unit 102b inputs cargo information scheduled for warehousing, including the product name CD, item CD, ship number, warehousing date, and quantity, in response to an operator's operation on the warehousing input screen displayed on the monitor 114, and registers the information in the data table 106g. It also specifies the destination warehouse CD and quantity in order to perform a warehouse number group check.

[0070] The checking unit 102c executes warehouse number group check processing (step S3). Specifically, in the warehouse number group check processing, the checking unit 102c determines whether or not the quantity specified for the warehouse CD designated on the warehousing input screen can be stored for the cargo in the warehousing scheduled cargo information by referring to the warehouse master 106a, warehouse number group master 106b, warehouse number group management master 106c, item name-specific warehousing management master 106f, and warehouse-specific inventory information.

[0071] If the item CD of the cargo information scheduled for warehousing is the same as the item CD of the identified warehouse number group master, the checking unit 102c may identify the warehousing category of the warehousing management master 106f by the item name CD of the cargo information scheduled for warehousing and the warehousing date of the cargo information scheduled for warehousing.

[0072] When the identified warehousing category is by item, the check unit 102c may determine that warehousing is possible if the condition that the capacity of the warehouse CD in the warehouse master 106a is greater than or equal to the quantity of the CD in the warehouse-specific inventory information + the quantity of the warehouse CD in the warehousing-scheduled cargo information is met, and may display an error message if the condition is not met.

[0073] If the specified warehousing category is by item name, the check unit 102c compares the item name CD of the cargo information to be warehoused with the item name CD of the warehouse-specific inventory information for the specified warehouse CD to determine whether they are the same, and if they are not the same, displays an error message.If the item name CD of the cargo information to be warehoused and the item name CD of the warehouse-specific inventory information for the specified warehouse CD to be warehoused are the same, it may determine that warehousing is possible if the condition of the capacity of the warehouse CD in the warehouse master 106a ≧ the quantity of the warehouse CD in the warehouse-specific inventory information + the quantity of the warehouse CD in the cargo information to be warehoused is met, and if this condition is not met, displays an error message.

[0074] If the specified warehousing category is by ship's product name, the check unit 102c compares the product name CD of the cargo information to be warehoused with the product name CD of the warehouse-specific inventory information for the warehouse CD of the specified warehousing destination to determine whether they are the same, and if they are not the same, displays an error message; if the product name CD of the cargo information to be warehoused and the product name CD of the warehouse-specific inventory information for the warehouse CD of the specified warehousing destination are the same, the check unit 102c compares the ship number of the cargo information to be warehoused with the ship number of the warehouse-specific inventory information for the warehouse CD of the specified warehousing destination, and if they are not the same, displays an error message; if the ship number of the cargo information to be warehoused and the ship number of the warehouse-specific inventory information for the warehouse CD of the specified warehousing destination are the same, it determines that warehousing is possible if the condition of the capacity of the warehouse CD in the warehouse master 106a ≧ the quantity of the warehouse CD in the warehouse-specific inventory information + the quantity of the warehouse CD in the cargo information to be warehoused is met, and if this condition is not met, displays an error message.

[0075] (3-2. Sample data) 12 to 22 are diagrams showing sample data for explaining a specific example of the processing by the control unit 102 of the warehouse number group check device 100 in this embodiment. A specific example of the processing by the control unit 102 of the warehouse number group check device 100 in this embodiment will be explained with reference to Figs. 13 to 22.

[0076] (Master setting example) Fig. 12 is a diagram showing an example of master setting. In the following explanation, a case where the master setting example of Fig. 12 is used will be explained.

[0077] 12(A) is a diagram showing an example of the settings of the warehouse master 106a. The warehouse master 106a has the following fields: warehouse CD, warehouse name, and capacity. In the example shown in the figure, the first line has warehouse CD "111" and capacity "4000t", the second line has warehouse CD "112" and capacity "4000t", and the third line has warehouse CD "113" and capacity "2000t".

[0078] Figure 12(B) is a diagram showing an example of the settings for the warehouse number group master 106b. The warehouse number group master 106b has the following fields: warehouse number group CD, warehouse number group name, item CD, and item name. In the example shown in the figure, the first line contains the warehouse number group CD "C", warehouse number group name "Corn", item CD "1", and item name "Corn".

[0079] 12(C) is a diagram showing an example of the settings of the warehouse number group management master 106c. The warehouse number group management master 106c has the following items: warehouse number group CD, warehouse number group name, warehouse CD, and grouping application period (start date, end date). The grouping application period (start date, end date) is an item that manages the grouping application period of the warehouse number group.

[0080] In the example shown in the figure, the first line has warehouse number group CD "C", warehouse number group name "Corn", warehouse CD "111", start date "2022 / 4 / 1", and end date "2023 / 3 / 31". The second line has warehouse number group CD "C", warehouse number group name "Corn", warehouse CD "112", start date "2022 / 4 / 1", and end date "2023 / 3 / 31". The third line has warehouse number group CD "C", warehouse number group name "Corn", warehouse CD "113", start date "2022 / 4 / 1", and end date "2022 / 4 / 20". The fourth line has warehouse number group CD "M", warehouse number group name "Milo", warehouse CD "113", start date "2022 / 4 / 21", and end date "2023 / 3 / 31".

[0081] Regarding warehouse CD "113," from "2022 / 4 / 1" to "2022 / 4 / 20" it will belong to warehouse group CD "C," but from "2022 / 4 / 21" to "2023 / 3 / 31" it will switch to warehouse group CD "M."

[0082] Figure 12(D) is a diagram showing an example of the settings of the item master 106d. The item master 106d has fields for item CD and item name. In the example shown in the figure, the first line has item CD "1" and item name "corn," the second line has item CD "2" and item name "wheat," and the first line has item CD "3" and item name "milo."

[0083] 12(E) is a diagram showing an example of the settings of the product name master 106e. The product name master 106e has fields for product name CD, product name, item CD, and item name. In the example shown in the figure, the first line has product name CD "1000", product name "US. Corn", item CD "1", and item name "Corn". The second line has product name CD "1001", product name "BR. Corn", item CD "1", and item name "Corn". The third line has product name CD "2000", product name "US. Barley", item CD "2", and item name "Barley". The fourth line has product name CD "2001", product name "BR. Barley", item CD "2", and item name "Barley". The fifth line has product name CD "3000", product name "US. Milo", item CD "3", and item name "Milo".

[0084] 12(F) is a diagram showing an example of the settings of the item / item name-specific inventory management master 106f. The item / item name-specific inventory management master 106f manages the inventory classification (1: by item / 2: by product name / 3: by ship product name) which is the unit of inventory management for each item and product name, and its application period (application start date, application end date).

[0085] The inventory management master by item name 106f has the following fields: item CD, item name, item name CD, item name, applicable period of inventory classification (application start date, application end date), and inventory classification (1: by item / 2: by item name / 3: by ship's item name).

[0086] If the warehousing classification is "1: By item", warehousing is possible if the cargo's "item" and the warehouse's "item (warehouse number group)" are the same. If the warehousing classification is "2: By product name", warehousing is possible if the cargo's "item" and "product name" and the warehouse's "item (warehouse number group)" and "product name" are the same. If the warehousing classification is "3: By ship's product name", warehousing is possible if the cargo's "item", "product name", and "ship" and the warehouse's "item (warehouse number group)", "product name", and "ship" are the same.

[0087] In the example shown in the figure, the first line has the item CD "1", item name "Corn", product name CD "1000", product name "US. Corn", application start date "2000 / 4 / 1", application end date "2100 / 3 / 31", and inventory classification "2: By product name". The second line has the item CD "1", item name "Corn", product name CD "1001", product name "BR. Corn", application start date "2000 / 4 / 1", application end date "2100 / 3 / 31", and inventory classification "2: By product name". The third line has item CD "2", item name "Wheat", item name CD "NULL", item name "NULL", application start date "2000 / 4 / 1", application end date "2100 / 3 / 31", and inventory classification "1: By item", the fourth line has item CD "3", item name "Milo", item name CD "3000", item name "US. Milo", application start date "2000 / 4 / 1", application end date "2100 / 3 / 31", and inventory classification "3: By ship's item name".

[0088] (S2: Warehouse number group check process) A specific example of warehouse number group check processing will be explained with reference to Figures 13 to 22. The check unit 102c determines whether or not the quantity of cargo specified in the warehouse identification information for the warehouse destination specified on the warehousing input screen can be stored for the cargo in the warehousing scheduled cargo information, by referring to the warehouse master 106a, warehouse number group master 106b, warehouse number group management master 106c, item / item name-specific warehousing management master 106f, and warehouse-specific inventory information. Below, an example of warehouse number group check by item name (when warehousing classification in item / item name-specific warehousing management master 106f = 2: by item name) will be explained.

[0089] (Storehouse group check NG pattern) 13 to 16, patterns in which the warehouse number group check is NG will be described.

[0090] FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining the inventory status of warehouses. FIG. 13(A) shows the inventory status of warehouse CD:111, warehouse CD:112, and warehouse CD:113 in the warehouse number group "Corn." FIG. 13(B) shows an example of data for warehouse-specific inventory information. Warehouse-specific inventory information may include warehouse CD, vessel number, product name CD, product name, item CD, product name, and quantity. In the example shown in the figure, the first line contains warehouse CD "111," vessel number "2000," product name CD "1000," product name "US. Corn," item CD "1," product name "Corn," and quantity "2000t." The second line contains warehouse CD "112," vessel number "2000," product name CD "1001," product name "BR. Corn," item CD "1," product name "Corn," and quantity "1000t."

[0091] Next, a case where a ship arrives and warehousing is carried out will be explained. Figure 14 is a diagram showing an example of the display of the warehousing input screen. The warehousing input screen has a warehousing scheduled cargo information input area for inputting information about cargo to be stored, and a warehousing destination designation area for designating a warehousing destination. When the operator inputs information about cargo to be stored in the warehousing scheduled cargo information input area and presses a register button (not shown), the warehousing input unit 102b registers the information about cargo to be stored in accordance with the input content in the data table 106g.

[0092] In the example shown in the figure, the cargo information scheduled for warehousing includes product name CD "1001", product name "BR. Corn", item CD "1", item name "Corn", vessel number "3000", warehousing date "2022 / 4 / 20", and quantity "1000t".

[0093] Furthermore, when the operator inputs the warehouse CD and quantity of the warehouse entry in the warehouse entry designation area and presses an execute button (not shown), the check unit 102c executes the warehouse number group check process. In the example shown in the same figure, a case will be explained in which the operator inputs warehouse CD "111" and quantity "1000t", then presses an execute button (not shown), and the warehouse number group check process is executed.

[0094] A warehouse number group check will be performed on the warehousing date, "2022 / 4 / 20." Figure 15(A) is an example of data for cargo information scheduled for warehousing, and Figure 15(B) is a diagram showing the warehousing status of warehouses CD:111, CD:112, and CD:113 for the warehouse number group "Corn."

[0095] FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the flow of the warehouse number group check.

[0096] (1) Check whether the cargo items to be warehoused are the same as the items in the warehouse number group of the warehouse CD where the cargo will be warehoused. FIG. 16(A) is a diagram showing an example of data of cargo information scheduled for warehousing, FIG. 16(B) is a diagram showing an example of data of the warehouse number group master 106b, and FIG. 16(C) is a diagram showing an example of data of the warehouse number group management master 106c.

[0097] (1)-1. Identify the target "warehouse number group CD of warehouse number group management master 106c" using the "warehouse CD designated by the warehouse destination on the warehouse entry screen" and the "entry date of the cargo information scheduled for warehousing" (identify the entry date within the applicable period of the warehouse number group). In this example, the warehouse CD specified on the warehouse entry screen is "111" and the entry date in the scheduled cargo entry information is "2022 / 4 / 20", so the warehouse number group CD in the warehouse number group management master 106c is specified as "C".

[0098] (1)-2. The "item CD of the warehouse number group master 106b" is identified by the "warehouse number group CD of the warehouse number group management master 106c" obtained in (1)-1. In this example, the warehouse number group CD "c" in the warehouse number group management master 106c specifies the item CD in the warehouse number group master 106b as "1".

[0099] (1)-3. Compare the "item CD of the cargo information scheduled for warehousing" with the "item CD of the warehouse number group master 106b" to determine whether they are the same. In this example, the item CD "1" in the warehousing scheduled cargo information and the item CD "1" in the warehouse number group master 106b are the same, and the items match, so it is OK.

[0100] (2) Check the cargo information to be stored in the warehouse against the inventory contents of the warehouse to be stored in by storage classification (1: by item / 2: by product name / 3: by product name on board the ship). FIG. 16(D) is a diagram showing an example of data for cargo information scheduled for warehousing, FIG. 16(E) is a diagram showing an example of data for the warehousing management master 106f by item name, and FIG. 16(F) is a diagram showing an example of data for inventory information by warehouse.

[0101] (2)-1. The "warehousing classification of the warehousing management master 106f by item name" is identified by the "item name CD of the cargo information scheduled for warehousing" and the "warehousing date of the cargo information scheduled for warehousing." In this example, the item name CD of the warehousing scheduled cargo information is "1001" and the arrival date is "2022 / 4 / 20", so the warehousing classification of the item / item name-specific warehousing management master 106f is specified as "2: By item name".

[0102] (2)-2. Compare the "Item name CD of cargo information scheduled for warehousing" with the "Item name CD of warehouse-specific inventory information for the warehouse CD designated by the warehouse on the warehousing screen" to determine whether they are the same. In this example, the item name CD of the cargo information scheduled for warehousing is "1001" and the item name CD of the warehouse-specific inventory information is "1000", so there is a mismatch and the result is NG, and an error message "The item name scheduled for warehousing does not match the item name already stored" is displayed on the warehousing screen. As shown in Figure 16(G), due to the mismatch in item names, warehousing into warehouse CD: 111 is not possible. The operator changes the warehouse CD of the warehousing destination on the warehousing input screen and performs the warehouse number group check again.

[0103] (Storehouse group check OK pattern) The case where the warehouse number group check is OK will be described with reference to Figures 17 to 21. The warehouse entry status and warehouse-specific inventory information are the same as those in Figure 13.

[0104] 17 is a diagram showing an example of the display of the warehouse entry screen. Since it is not possible to enter warehouse CD: 111, the operator changes the warehouse CD of the entry destination on the warehouse entry screen and performs a warehouse number group check. The example shown in the same figure explains a case where the operator changes the warehouse CD to "112" in the warehouse entry destination designation area, presses an execute button (not shown), and the check unit 102c performs the warehouse number group check process.

[0105] Figures 18 to 21 are diagrams showing the flow of warehouse number group checks. Figure 18(A) is an example of data on cargo information scheduled for warehousing, and Figure 18(B) is a diagram showing the warehousing status of warehouses CD:111, CD:112, and CD:113 in the warehouse number group "corn." Figures 18(A) and (B) are the same as Figures 15(A) and (B).

[0106] (1) Check whether the cargo items to be warehoused are the same as the items in the warehouse number group of the warehouse CD where the cargo will be warehoused. FIG. 18(C) is a diagram showing an example of data of cargo information scheduled for warehousing, FIG. 18(D) is a diagram showing an example of data of the warehouse number group master 106b, and FIG. 18(E) is a diagram showing an example of data of the warehouse number group management master 106c.

[0107] (1)-1. Identify the target "warehouse number group CD of warehouse number group management master 106c" using the "warehouse CD designated by the warehouse destination on the warehouse entry screen" and the "entry date of the cargo information scheduled for warehousing" (identify the entry date within the applicable period of the warehouse number group). In this example, the warehouse CD specified on the warehouse entry screen is "111" and the entry date in the scheduled cargo entry information is "2022 / 4 / 20", so the warehouse number group CD in the warehouse number group management master 106c is specified as "C".

[0108] (1)-2. The "item CD of the warehouse number group master 106b" is identified by the "warehouse number group CD of the warehouse number group management master 106c" obtained in (1)-1. In this example, the warehouse number group CD "C" in the warehouse number group management master 106c specifies the item CD in the warehouse number group master 106b as "1".

[0109] (1)-3. Compare the "item CD of the cargo information scheduled for warehousing" with the "item CD of the warehouse number group master 106b" to determine whether they are the same. In this example, the item CD "1" in the warehousing scheduled cargo information and the item CD "1" in the warehouse number group master 106b are the same, and the items match, so it is OK.

[0110] (2) Check the cargo information to be stored in the warehouse against the inventory contents of the warehouse to be stored in by storage classification (1: by item / 2: by product name / 3: by product name on board the ship). FIG. 19(A) is a diagram showing an example of data for cargo information scheduled for warehousing, FIG. 19(B) is a diagram showing an example of data for the warehousing management master 106f by item name, and FIG. 19(C) is a diagram showing an example of data for inventory information by warehouse.

[0111] (2)-1. The "warehousing classification of the warehousing management master 106f by item name" is identified by the "item name CD of the cargo information scheduled for warehousing" and the "warehousing date of the cargo information scheduled for warehousing." In this example, the item name CD of the warehousing scheduled cargo information is "1001" and the arrival date is "2022 / 4 / 20", so the warehousing classification of the item / item name-specific warehousing management master 106f is specified as "2: By item name".

[0112] (2)-2. Compare the "Item name CD of cargo information scheduled for warehousing" with the "Item name CD of warehouse-specific inventory information for the warehouse CD designated by the warehouse destination on the warehousing entry screen" to determine whether they are the same. In this example, the item name CD in the warehousing scheduled cargo information is "1001," and the item name CD in the warehouse-specific inventory information for the warehouse destination CD "112" on the warehousing input screen is "1001," so the item names match and the result is OK.

[0113] Next, a tolerance check is performed. If the condition of tolerance of the warehouse CD in the warehouse master 106a ≥ quantity of the warehouse CD in the warehouse-specific inventory information + quantity of the warehouse CD in the warehouse-scheduled cargo information is met, it is determined that the item can be stored, and the quantity in the warehouse inventory information is updated. If this condition is not met, an error message "Quantity stored in warehouse exceeds tolerance" is displayed.

[0114] Figure 20(A) is a diagram showing an example of data in warehouse master 106a, Figure 20(B) is a diagram showing an example of data for warehouse-specific inventory information (before update), Figure 20(C) is a diagram showing an example of data for warehouse-specific inventory information (after update).

[0115] In this example, the allowable capacity of warehouse CD "112" in the warehouse master 106a, "4000t", is greater than or equal to the quantity "1000t" of warehouse CD "112" in the warehouse-specific inventory information + the quantity "1000t" of warehouse CD "112" in the warehouse-scheduled cargo information, so it is determined that the goods can be stored, and the data registration unit 102a updates the quantity in the warehouse-specific inventory information to "2000t" as shown in Figure 20(D).

[0116] Figure 21(A) is a diagram showing an image of the inventory status of the warehouse number group "Corn" after 1,000 tons of BR. Corn has been stored in warehouse CD "112." Figure 21(B) is a diagram showing whether or not inventory can be stored for all patterns in the example of the warehouse number group check by product name described above. In the figure, "○" indicates that inventory can be stored, and "×" indicates that inventory cannot be stored.

[0117] (Change in warehouse number grouping range) Figure 22 is a diagram for explaining the change of the warehouse number grouping range. Figure 22(A) is a diagram showing the situation where the warehouse number group was changed on 2022 / 4 / 21, and Figure 22(B) is a diagram showing an example of data in the warehouse number group management master 106c.

[0118] As shown in Figures 22(A) and (B), the warehouse number group of warehouse CD "113" will be changed from the Corn Group to the Milo Group from "2022 / 4 / 21" due to the master settings of the warehouse number group management master 106c.
