[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6683319 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Incidentally, among the products handled by the auto parts wholesaler or machine parts wholesaler, there are products manufactured based on the drawings designed by the manufacturer, drawings approved by the manufacturer, and the manufacturer's specifications. These products are generally called genuine products. The sales rights for these genuine products are owned by the manufacturer. For this reason, genuine products must be sold through the genuine product supply route originating from the manufacturer.

[0005] Furthermore, a particular manufacturer may specify a complex distribution channel for a particular product group among the products it sells, such that the products are sold through affiliated sales companies.

[0006] On the other hand, actual orders include not only genuine products received from authorized dealers, but also a mixture of non-genuine products (hereinafter referred to as "non-genuine products").

[0007] However, in practice, orders are sometimes placed without any particular consideration of the distribution channel, so workers must determine and allocate the sales and billing destinations according to the specified conditions.As a result, auto parts wholesalers and machine parts wholesalers rely on the experience of their workers, which leads to allocation errors and tedious work at the end of the month, leaving room for improvement in reducing work hours.

[0008] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above, and aims to provide a genuine product distribution management device, a genuine product distribution management method, and a genuine product distribution management method that can reduce work hours and mitigate errors. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the object, the genuine product distribution management device of the present invention is a genuine product distribution management device equipped with a control unit, which is capable of accessing a customer master that associates a billing destination with each customer, a billing destination master that associates a corporation and C / M classification with each billing destination, and a customer product name master that associates a product code, customer part number, and billing destination code with each business partner, and the control unit is characterized by comprising: an acquisition unit that references the customer master, the billing destination master, and the customer product name master, and acquires the corporate code of the billing destination corresponding to the input customer and the billing destination code corresponding to the input product code; a judgment unit that judges whether the corporate code matches the billing destination code in the customer product name master that corresponds to the input product code; and an output unit that outputs information that there is an input restriction when the judgment unit judges that the corporate code does not match the billing destination code in the customer product name master that corresponds to the input product code.

[0010] Furthermore, the genuine product distribution management method of the present invention is a genuine product distribution management method executed by a genuine product distribution management device equipped with a control unit, which is capable of accessing a customer master in which a billing destination is associated with each customer, a billing destination master in which a corporation and C / M classification are associated with each billing destination, and a customer product name master in which a product code, customer part number, and billing destination code are associated with each business partner, and is characterized by including: an acquisition step executed by the control unit, which refers to the customer master, the billing destination master, and the customer product name master, and acquires the corporate code of the billing destination corresponding to the input customer and the billing destination code corresponding to the input product code; a determination step which determines whether the corporate code matches the billing destination code in the customer product name master corresponding to the input product code; and an output step which, if the determination step determines that the corporate code does not match the billing destination code in the customer product name master corresponding to the input product code, outputs information indicating that there is an input restriction.

[0011] Furthermore, the genuine product distribution management program of the present invention is a genuine product distribution management method to be executed by a genuine product distribution management device equipped with a control unit, and is capable of accessing a customer master in which a billing destination is associated with each customer, a billing destination master in which a corporation and C / M classification are associated with each billing destination, and a customer product name master in which a product code, customer part number, and billing destination code are associated with each business partner, and is characterized by including: an acquisition step, to be executed by the control unit, of referencing the customer master, the billing destination master, and the customer product name master to acquire the corporate code of the billing destination corresponding to the input customer and the billing destination code corresponding to the input product code; a determination step of determining whether the corporate code matches the billing destination code in the customer product name master corresponding to the input product code; and an output step of outputting information indicating that there is an input restriction if the determination step determines that the corporate code does not match the billing destination code in the customer product name master corresponding to the input product code. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] Hereinafter, embodiments of a genuine product distribution management device, a genuine product distribution management method, and a genuine product distribution management program according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0015] [1. Configuration] An example of the configuration of a genuine product distribution management device according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1 etc. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an overview in a block diagram of an example of the configuration of a genuine product distribution management device.

[0016] 1 is a commercially available desktop personal computer. Note that the genuine product distribution management device 100 is not limited to a stationary information processing device such as a desktop personal computer, but may also be a commercially available portable information processing device such as a notebook personal computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a smartphone, or a tablet personal computer.

[0017] The genuine product distribution 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 genuine product distribution management device 100 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via any communication path.

[0018] The communication interface unit 104 communicatively connects the genuine product distribution 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 genuine product distribution management device 100 and the server 200 so that they can communicate with each other, and is, for example, the Internet or a LAN (Local Area Network). The data stored in the memory unit 106 may also be stored in the server 200, for example.

[0019] 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.

[0020] The storage unit 106 stores various databases, tables, files, etc. The storage unit 106 stores computer programs that work in conjunction with the OS (Operating System) to issue commands to the CPU (Central Processing Unit) to perform various processes. The storage unit 106 may be, for example, a memory device such as RAM (Random Access Memory) or ROM (Read Only Memory), a fixed disk device such as a hard disk, a flexible disk, or an optical disk. The storage unit 106 stores a customer master 106a, a billing destination master 106b, a corporation master 106c, a customer billing destination master 106d, a product master 106e, and a customer product name master 106f.

[0021] The customer master 106a stores a billing destination associated with each customer. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a customer master table in the customer master 106a. In the first row of the customer master table T1 shown in Fig. 2, the customer "Manufacturer A" is stored in association with the billing destination "Manufacturer A."

[0022] The billing destination master 106b stores a corporation and a C / M category in association with each billing destination. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a billing destination master table in the billing destination master 106b. The first row of the billing destination master table T2 shown in Fig. 3 stores a billing destination "Manufacturer A" in association with a corporation "Manufacturer A" and a C / M category "1: Manufacturer A".

[0023] The corporation master 106c stores the name of each corporation. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a corporation master table in the corporation master 106c. The first row of the corporation master table T3 shown in Fig. 4 stores the corporation "Manufacturer A."

[0024] The customer billing destination master 106d stores a billing destination code in association with each customer code. Figure 5 is a diagram showing an example of a customer billing destination master table in the customer billing destination master 106d. In the first row of the customer billing destination master table T4 shown in Figure 5, the customer code "Authorized Dealer C" is stored in association with the billing destination code "Manufacturer A."

[0025] The product master 106e stores, for each product, a product type, a non-genuine flag, a genuine flag, and a C / M classification in association with each other. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a product master table in the product master 106e. The first row of the product master table T5 shown in Fig. 6 stores, in association with the product "12-0751-F1," a product type "genuine product," a non-genuine flag "1: target" indicating that a non-genuine product can be sold as a genuine product, a genuine flag "1: target" indicating that the product is a genuine product, and a C / M classification "1: manufacturer A" indicating the designated distributor when numbering as a genuine product.

[0026] The customer product name master 106f stores the product, customer part number, and billing code in association with each other for each customer. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a customer product name master table in the customer product name master 106f. The first row of the customer product name master table T6 shown in Fig. 7 stores the product "13-0751-F1", customer part number "1511310750", and billing code "Manufacturer A" in association with the customer "Authorized Dealer C".

[0027] Returning to FIG. 1, the description of the configuration of the genuine product distribution management device 100 will continue. The control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that comprehensively controls the genuine product distribution 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. The control unit 102 has an acquisition unit 102a, a determination unit 102b, an output unit 102c, and a registration unit 102d.

[0028] The acquisition unit 102a refers to the customer master 106a, the billing destination master 106b, and the recipient product name master 106f, and acquires the corporate code corresponding to the customer entered by the worker via the input device 112 and the billing destination code corresponding to the entered product code.

[0029] The determination unit 102b determines whether the corporation code acquired by the acquisition unit 102a matches the billing code in the recipient product name master 106f corresponding to the input product code. The determination unit 102b also references the product master 106e to determine whether the products entered by the worker on the order entry screen are all genuine products.

[0030] If the determining unit 102b determines that the corporate code does not match the billing code in the recipient product name master 106f corresponding to the input product code, the output unit 102c outputs information that there is an input restriction.

[0031] The registration unit 102d registers a slip corresponding to the input product code. Specifically, the registration unit 102d registers a slip with contents corresponding to the order input on the order input screen.

[0032] [2. Details of the processing performed by the genuine product distribution management system] Next, a description will be given of the processing executed by the genuine product distribution management device 100. Fig. 8 is a flowchart showing an outline of the processing executed by the genuine product distribution management device 100.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 8, first, the acquisition unit 102a refers to the customer master 106a, the billing destination master 106b, and the customer product name master 106f, and acquires the corporate code corresponding to the customer input by the worker via the input device 112 and the billing destination code corresponding to the input product code (step S101).

[0034] 9 is a diagram showing an example of an order entry screen when an operator enters an order for a genuine product ordered from an authorized dealer. Note that FIG. 9 illustrates an example of an order entry screen for an order from authorized dealer C.

[0035] In the example shown in FIG. 9, first, the acquisition unit 102a refers to the customer master 106a and acquires the billing code "Authorized Dealer C" corresponding to the customer "Authorized Dealer C" entered by the worker on the order input screen P1. Then, the acquisition unit 102a refers to the billing master 106b and acquires the corporate code "Authorized Dealer C" corresponding to the billing code "Authorized Dealer C". Furthermore, the acquisition unit 102a refers to the customer product name master 106f and acquires the billing code "Manufacturer A" and customer product number "1511310750" corresponding to the product code "13-0751-F1".

[0036] Returning to FIG. 8, the description of step S102 and subsequent steps will be continued. In step S102, the determination unit 102b refers to the product master 106e and determines whether the products entered on the order entry screen P1 are all genuine products. Specifically, in the case shown in FIG. 9, the determination unit 102b refers to the product master 106e and determines that only genuine products are entered because the product type in the product master 106e corresponding to the product code "13-0751-F1" entered on the order entry screen P1 is "genuine product" and no other products are entered on the order entry screen P1. If the determination unit 102b determines that only genuine products are entered on the order entry screen P1 (step S102: Yes), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S103, which will be described later. On the other hand, if the determination unit 102b determines that the products entered on the order entry screen P1 are not all genuine products (step S102: No), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S110, which will be described later.

[0037] In step S103, the determination unit 102b refers to the customer product name master 106f and determines whether the billing address corresponding to the product code of the product entered on the order entry screen P1 is a designated distributor of the manufacturer. Specifically, in the case shown in FIG. 9, the determination unit 102b determines that the billing address is not a designated distributor because the billing address code in the customer product name master table T6 of the customer product product name master 106f corresponding to the product code "13-0751-F1" entered on the order entry screen P1 is "Manufacturer A." If the determination unit 102b determines that the billing address corresponding to the product code entered on the order entry screen P1 is not a designated distributor of the manufacturer (step S103: No), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S104, which will be described later.

[0038] In step S104, the determination unit 102b determines whether the corporation code and billing code entered on the order input screen P1 match. In the case shown in FIG. 9, the determination unit 102b determines that the corporation code and billing code do not match because the corporation code entered on the order input screen P1 is "Authorized Dealer C" and the billing code is "Manufacturer A." If the determination unit 102b determines that the corporation code and billing code entered on the order input screen P1 match (step S104: Yes), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S105, which will be described later. On the other hand, if the determination unit 102b determines that the corporation code and billing code entered on the order input screen P1 do not match (step S104: No), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S106, which will be described later.

[0039] In step S105, the registration unit 102d registers the order slip entered on the order entry screen P1. After step S105, the genuine product distribution management device 100 ends this process.

[0040] In step S106, the output unit 102c refers to the customer billing destination master 106d and displays the billing destination code on the order input screen P1 as appropriate information to prompt the worker to make changes if there are input restrictions. For example, in the case shown in FIG. 9, the output unit 102c displays Manufacturer A on the order input screen P1. This allows the worker to recognize the input error because the appropriate billing destination code is displayed on the order input screen P1. After step S106, the genuine product distribution management device 100 terminates this process.

[0041] Next, a case will be described where the determining unit 102b determines in step S103 that the billing address corresponding to the product input on the order input screen P1 is a designated distributor of the manufacturer (step S103: Yes).

[0042] 10 is a diagram showing an example of the order entry screen P1 when an operator enters an order for a genuine product from an authorized dealer and the billing address is a designated sales company of the manufacturer. Note that FIG. 10 explains an example of the order entry screen P1 for an order from authorized dealer C.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 10, when "Authorized Dealer C" is entered as the customer and "67103" as the product code, the billing address code in the customer product name master table T6 of the customer product name master 106f corresponding to the product code "67103" entered on the order entry screen P1 is "Genuine Product Distributor B." Therefore, the determination unit 102b determines that it is a designated distributor. In other words, the determination unit 102b determines that the billing address corresponding to the product code entered on the order entry screen P1 is a designated distributor of the manufacturer (Step S103: Yes). After Step S103, the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to Step S107, which will be described later.

[0044] Next, the determination unit 102b determines whether the corporation code and billing code entered on the order entry screen P1 match (step S107). In the case shown in FIG. 10, the corporation code is "authorized dealer C" and the billing code is "genuine product distributor B," so the determination unit 102b determines that the corporation code "authorized dealer C" and the billing code "genuine product distributor B" do not match. If the determination unit 102b determines that the corporation code and the billing code entered on the order entry screen P1 match (step S107: Yes), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S108, which will be described later. On the other hand, if the determination unit 102b determines that the corporation code and the billing code entered on the order entry screen P1 do not match (step S107: No), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S109, which will be described later.

[0045] In step S108, the registration unit 102d registers the order slip entered on the order entry screen P1. After step S108, the genuine product distribution management device 100 ends this process.

[0046] In step S109, the output unit 102c refers to the customer billing destination master 106d and displays an appropriate billing destination code on the order input screen P1 as information to prompt the worker to make changes if there are input restrictions. For example, in the case shown in FIG. 10, the output unit 102c displays "Genuine Product Distributor B" on the order input screen P1. This allows the worker to recognize the input error because the appropriate billing destination code is displayed on the order input screen P1. After step S109, the genuine product distribution management device 100 terminates this process.

[0047] In step S110, the determining unit 102b determines whether the product codes entered by the worker on the order entry screen P1 are a mixture of genuine products and non-genuine products.

[0048] 11 is a diagram showing an example of an order entry screen P1 when an operator places an order from an authorized dealer containing a mixture of genuine and non-genuine products and has entered the billing address as authorized dealer C. Note that FIG. 11 describes an example of the order entry screen P1 for an order from authorized dealer C.

[0049] In the case shown in FIG. 11, the determination unit 102b references the product types in the product master table T5 (see FIG. 6) of the product master 106e and determines whether the product types of the product code "13-0751-F1" and the product code "EXRR470" are genuine products. In the case of row "2" shown in FIG. 11, the determination unit 102b determines that the product entered by the worker on the order entry screen P1 is a mixture of genuine and non-genuine products because the product type of the product code "EXRR470" is a non-genuine part. If the determination unit 102b determines that the product entered by the worker on the order entry screen P1 is a mixture of genuine and non-genuine products (step S110: Yes), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S111, which will be described later. On the other hand, if the determination unit 102b determines that the product entered by the worker on the order entry screen P1 is not a mixture of genuine and non-genuine products (step S110: No), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S114, which will be described later.

[0050] In step S111, the determining unit 102b determines whether the corporate code and billing code for each product entered by the worker on the order entry screen P1 match.

[0051] First, we will explain the case of row No. "1" shown in Fig. 11. In this case, similar to step S104 described above, the determination unit 102b refers to the counterparty product name master table T6 of the counterparty product name master 106f, and determines that the corporate code "special agent C" and the billing code "manufacturer A" do not match, since the corporate code is "special agent C" and the billing code is "manufacturer A."

[0052] FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the order entry screen P1 when the worker places an order from an authorized dealer containing a mixture of genuine and non-genuine products and enters authorized dealer C as the billing address.

[0053] In the example shown in FIG. 12, the non-genuine flag in the product master table T5 (see FIG. 6) corresponding to the product "EXRR470" is "1." However, the C / M classification for the invoice destination "Manufacturer A" in the invoice destination master table T2 is "1: Manufacturer A," and the genuine flag in the product master table T5 is "0: Not applicable." Therefore, the determination unit 102b determines that the corporate code and invoice destination code of each product do not match. If the determination unit 102b determines that the corporate code and invoice destination code of each product entered by the worker on the order entry screen P1 match (Step S111: Yes), the genuine product commercial distribution management device 100 proceeds to Step S112, which will be described later. On the other hand, if the determination unit 102b determines that the corporate code and invoice destination code of each product entered by the worker on the order entry screen P1 do not match (Step S111: No), the genuine product commercial distribution management device 100 proceeds to Step S113, which will be described later.

[0054] In step S112, the registration unit 102d separates and registers the genuine and non-genuine products of the order entered on the order entry screen P1 into separate slips. After step S105, the genuine product distribution management device 100 ends this process.

[0055] In step S113, the output unit 102c references the customer billing destination master 106d and displays the appropriate billing destination code on the order input screen P1. For example, in the case shown in FIG. 12, the output unit 102c displays Manufacturer A on the order input screen P1. Furthermore, the output unit 102c displays information on the order input screen P1 urging the worker to register the genuine product and the non-genuine product separately on separate invoices. This allows the worker to recognize input errors and understand that the genuine product and the non-genuine product must be registered separately on separate invoices. After step S106, the genuine product distribution management device 100 terminates this process.

[0056] In step S114, the determining unit 102b refers to the product master 106e and determines whether the product type corresponding to the product code input by the worker on the order input screen is a non-genuine product.

[0057] FIG. 13 illustrates an example of the order entry screen P1 when the worker places an order for a non-genuine product from a distributor. In the example shown in FIG. 13, the determination unit 102b determines that the product is a non-genuine part because the product type in the product master table T5 corresponding to the product "EXRR470" on the order entry screen P1 is "commercially available spring part" and the non-genuine flag is "1: applicable." Furthermore, the determination unit 102b determines that the product is eligible for sale because the billing code is not registered in the customer product name master table 106f corresponding to the product "EXRR470" on the order entry screen, the non-genuine flag in the product master table T5 of the product master 106e is "1: applicable," and the C / M classification in the billing master table T2 is "0: non-manufacturer." That is, the determination unit 102b references the product master table 106e and determines that the product type corresponding to the product code of the product entered by the worker on the order entry screen P1 is a non-genuine part. If the determination unit 102b determines that the type of product corresponding to the product code entered by the worker on the order entry screen P1 is a non-genuine product (step S114: Yes), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S115, which will be described later. On the other hand, if the determination unit 102b determines that the type of product corresponding to the product code entered by the worker on the order entry screen P1 is not a non-genuine product (step S114: No), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S116, which will be described later.

[0058] In step S115, the registration unit 102d registers the non-genuine slip entered on the order entry screen P1. After step S115, the genuine product distribution management device 100 ends this process.

[0059] In step S116, the determination unit 102b determines whether the product entered on the order entry screen P1 can be sold as a non-genuine product. If the determination unit 102b determines that the product entered on the order entry screen P1 can be sold as a non-genuine product (step S116: Yes), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S117, which will be described later. On the other hand, if the determination unit 102b determines that the product entered on the order entry screen P1 cannot be sold as a non-genuine product (step S116: No), the genuine product distribution management device 100 ends this process.

[0060] In step S117, the determining unit 102b determines whether or not the product is from a company other than the manufacturer.

[0061] 14 is a diagram showing an example of an order entry screen P1 when an operator sells a genuine product as a non-genuine product in response to an order from an authorized dealer. Note that FIG. 14 describes the case of an order from an authorized dealer (authorized dealer E).

[0062] As shown in FIG. 14, a case will be described in which "Authorized Dealer E" is entered as the customer and "13-0751-F1" is entered as the product code. In this case, the genuine flag in the product master table T5 (see FIG. 6) of the product master 106e corresponding to the product code "13-0751-F1" entered on the order entry screen P1 is "1: target," the non-genuine flag is "1: target," and the C / M classification in the invoice master table T2 (see FIG. 3) of the invoice master 106b is "0: non-manufacturer." Therefore, the determination unit 102b determines that the product can be sold to authorized dealer E, the invoice destination. That is, in the case shown in FIG. 14, the determination unit 102b determines that the invoice destination is a non-manufacturer. If the determination unit 102b determines that the product is a non-manufacturer (step S117: Yes), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S118, which will be described later.

[0063] A case where the determining unit 102b determines in step S117 that the product is not a product other than that of the manufacturer (step S117: No) will be described.

[0064] 15 is a diagram showing an example of the order entry screen P1 when selling genuine parts in response to an order from a wholesaler. Note that Fig. 15 will explain the case of an order from a wholesaler (Wholesale F).

[0065] As shown in FIG. 15, a case will be described in which "Wholesale F" is entered as the customer and "54028Z904" is entered as the product code. In this case, the genuine flag in the product master table T5 of the product master 106e corresponding to the product code "54028Z904" entered on the order entry screen P1 is "1: applicable," the non-genuine flag is "0: not applicable," and the C / M classification in the invoice master table T2 (see FIG. 3) of the invoice master 106b is "0: non-manufacturer." Therefore, the determination unit 102b determines that the product cannot be sold to authorized dealer E, the invoice destination. In other words, the determination unit 102b determines that the product is not a party other than the manufacturer. If the determination unit 102b determines that the product is not a party other than the manufacturer (step S117: No), the genuine product distribution management device 100 proceeds to step S119, which will be described later.

[0066] In step S118, the registration unit 102d registers the slip by treating the genuine product entered on the order entry screen P1 as a non-genuine product. After step S118, the genuine product distribution management device 100 ends this process.

[0067] In step S119, the output unit 102c displays on the order entry screen P1 a message indicating that there are restrictions on the entry of genuine parts. This allows the worker to recognize the input error. After step S119, the genuine product distribution management device 100 ends this process.

[0068] According to the embodiment described above, when the output unit 102c determines that the billing destination corporate code corresponding to the customer input by the determination unit 102b does not match the billing destination code in the recipient product name master corresponding to the input product code, it outputs information that there is an input restriction, thereby reducing the amount of work required and reducing input errors by workers.

[0069] Furthermore, according to the embodiment, when the determination unit 102b determines that the corporate code of the billing destination corresponding to the customer does not match the billing destination code in the recipient product name master 106f corresponding to the input product code, the output unit 102c refers to the customer master 106a and outputs the billing destination corresponding to the billing destination code in the recipient product name master 106f, thereby reducing input errors by the worker.

[0070] Furthermore, according to the embodiment, when the output unit 102c determines that the billing code in the recipient product name master 106f corresponding to the product code input by the determination unit 102b is a manufacturer, the output unit 102c outputs information indicating that there is an input restriction, thereby reducing input errors by the worker.

[0071] Furthermore, according to the embodiment, when the output unit 102c determines that the billing code in the customer product name master 106f corresponding to the product code input by the determination unit 102b is a designated distributor, it outputs a message indicating that there is an input restriction, thereby reducing input errors by the worker.

[0072] Furthermore, according to the embodiment, when the determination unit 102b determines that genuine and non-genuine products are mixed, the output unit 102c outputs information that prompts the user to separate and register the genuine and non-genuine products on different slips, thereby reducing the amount of work required and reducing input errors by the worker.

[0073] Furthermore, according to the embodiment, when the determining unit 102b determines that genuine and non-genuine products are mixed, if the C / M classification in the billing master corresponding to the billing code in the customer product name master 106f corresponding to the product code of the genuine product is specified, the output unit 102c outputs information that there is an input restriction. This reduces input errors by the worker.

[0074] Furthermore, according to the embodiment, when the determining unit 102b determines that the product is a non-genuine product in the product master 106e corresponding to the input product code, and the determining unit 102b determines that the C / M classification in the billing destination master 106b corresponding to the billing destination code corresponding to the input product code is other than the manufacturer, the registration unit 102d automatically registers a slip corresponding to the input product code. This reduces the number of steps required by workers.

[0075] Furthermore, according to the embodiment, when the product master 106e corresponding to the input product code indicates a genuine product, if the product is to be sold as a non-genuine product, the judgment unit 102b refers to the product master 106e and the billing destination master 106b to judge whether or not the product can be sold, thereby reducing input errors by the worker.

[0076] Furthermore, according to the embodiment, when the product master 106e corresponding to the input product code indicates a genuine part, when selling the part as a genuine product, the determination unit 102b refers to the product master 106e and the billing destination master 106b to determine whether the part can be sold, thereby reducing input errors by the worker.
