This is an example of multiple organizations included in the following: Organization Or1 is, for example, a final product utilizing steel ( For example, a company that produces automobiles, etc. Organization Or2 offers products to Organization Or1. These are companies that supply goods, such as parts manufacturers and retailers. Organization Or3 is related to Organization Or2. In contrast, these are companies that provide goods, such as trading companies and coil centers. Organization Or4 This refers to companies that provide goods to organization Or3, such as steel manufacturers. In such a situation, between organization Or1 and organization Or2, between organization Or2 and organization Or3, and between organizations Textile Or3 and Organization Or4 communicate independently and in different ways. Because of the potential for delays, the distribution of steel is not sufficiently efficient.

[0061] Thus, users belonging to the ordering organization can control the order data sent by their group. While it is possible to control order data sent by other groups, control over it may be limited, at least partially. ru.

[0062] In one embodiment, the information processing device 2 processes the first order data and the second order data separately. Operations related to this will be accepted in the same way from the first customer-side user.

[0063] Figure 4 shows the information processing device 2 receiving the first order authority and the second order authority, respectively. An example of an action that can be performed is shown. A first-order user with first-order authority associated with them can perform the following actions: For example, inquiry of first order data, registration / modification request for first order data, registration of first order data Viewing of registration notices and change request notices, viewing of rejection notices for change requests for the first order data, and the first note It is possible to perform operations such as viewing the shipping schedule corresponding to the document data. In contrast to this, see Note 2. A second-ordering user with associated order-side permissions can, for example, query the first order data, and It can only perform operations such as viewing the shipping schedule corresponding to the order data.

[0064] Furthermore, the first receiving-side user belonging to the receiving-side organization can, for example, inquire about the first order data, and the first Viewing of order data registration notifications and change request notifications, rejection / approval of first order data change requests, Viewing the rejection notice for the change request for the first order data, and registering the shipping schedule corresponding to the first order data. • Change requests, viewing of shipping schedules corresponding to the first order data, and corresponding to the first order data You can perform operations such as registering or changing billing categories.

[0065] Figure 5 shows the information processing device 2 receiving the first order authority and the second order authority, respectively. Here is another example of an action that can be performed: A second-order user with associated second-order authority. For example, this includes inquiries about second order data, registration / modification requests for second order data, and second order data Viewing of registration notifications and change request notifications, viewing of rejection notices for change requests for second order data, and 2. It is possible to perform operations such as viewing the shipping schedule corresponding to the order data. 1. The first ordering user, to whom the ordering authority is associated, can, for example, query the second order data, and It can only perform operations such as viewing the shipping schedule corresponding to the second order data.

[0066] With this configuration, each of the multiple users belonging to the ordering organization can control the ordering process. This allows for proper management of the scope of sentence data. For example, it allows your group to Regarding the order data you have submitted, while maintaining the convenience of operation, orders submitted by other groups will be processed. This can prevent accidental manipulation of data.

[0067] (Second Embodiment) Referring to Figure 6-8, an example of the operation of System 1 according to the second embodiment will be described. Figure 6 shows the organization, group, user, and order data in System 1 according to the second embodiment. This is a conceptual diagram illustrating the relationship between permissions and acceptable operations.

[0068] The ordering organization includes the first ordering user. The first ordering user has first ordering privileges. They are associated.

Based on the second receiving party's authority, it is accepted from the second receiving party user. Here, the first receiving party's authority Operations on the second order data based on the second order data based on the second order-receiving authority The operation is restricted. For example, a second-party user associated with second-party authority is the second 2. You can approve the request to change order data, but the first order-receiving authority is associated with it. The first-party user, who is merely the recipient of the order, is restricted from approving requests to change the first order data. .

[0072] Thus, users belonging to the receiving organization receive order data sent to their group. While data can be controlled, control over order data sent to other groups is limited to at least some extent. It can be partially restricted.

[0073] In one embodiment, the information processing device 2 processes the first order data and the second order data separately. Operations related to this will be accepted in the same way from the first ordering user.

[0114] The first order-receiving side terminal device 3b1 transmits order data from the first order-receiving side organization to the second order-receiving side organization to the information processing device 2 (S206). The information processing device 2 registers this order data in the database (S207), and transmits a notification indicating that an order has been received to the second order-receiving side terminal device 3b2 (S208). Send the second change application to the information processing apparatus 2 (S216). After receiving the second change application The information processing apparatus 2 that has received it sends a notice to that effect to the order-side terminal device 3a and the second order-receiving side terminal device 3b2 (S218, S220). In response to this, the order-side terminal device 3a displays information indicating that the second change application is pending approval by the second order-receiving side organization (S222).

[0115] The second order-receiving side terminal device 3b2 accepts an operation regarding approval of the second change application and sends information to that effect to the information processing apparatus 2 (S224). The information processing apparatus 2 sends a notice indicating that the second change application has been approved to the first order-receiving side terminal device 3b1 (S226). In response to this, the order-side terminal device 3a returns the display to the information indicating that the first change application is pending approval by the first order-receiving side organization (S228).

[0116] After that, similar to the processing described in steps S112 to S124 of FIG. 11, the first change application is approved or rejected by the user of the first order-receiving side organization, and that fact can be displayed on the order-side terminal device 3a.

[0117] With such a configuration, the user of the order-side organization can grasp in detail the situation (progress) of the change application.

[0118] In the fifth embodiment, for the sake of convenience of explanation, the description of the group to which each user belongs in each organization is omitted, but the operations that each user can perform can be controlled based on the methods described in the first to third embodiments.

[0119] (Sixth Embodiment) ​Figure 15 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the operation of System 1 according to the sixth embodiment. In the fifth embodiment, after a user of the second receiving organization approves the second change request, the first receiving organization An example of a user approving the first change request was described. In the sixth embodiment, the second receiving party The first change request is automatically approved, provided that a user in the organization approves the second change request. An example will be given. The sixth embodiment will mainly describe the differences from the fifth embodiment. .

[0120] Notification from the ordering organization to the first ordering organization that a first request for change to the order data has been made. After the information processing device 2 transmits to the first order-receiving terminal device 3b1 (S314), the first order The side terminal device 3b1 accepts operations related to conditional approval. In one embodiment, Approval with a number is granted when the second change application from the first receiving organization to the second receiving organization is approved by the second receiving organization. The first change request will be approved, subject to approval by a user belonging to the other organization. This includes the operation of setting it.

[0121] The first receiving terminal device 3b1 receives information that it has received an operation related to conditional approval, and The second change request is sent to the information processing device 2 (S316). Here, the second change request is , order data from the ordering organization to the first receiving organization (see S300), and said order data This may be done in connection with at least one of the first amendment requests for the data (see S310). The information processing device 2 determines that the second change request is related to the order data related to the first change request. This can be understood. For example, the first change application is an application for a change in the number of automobiles produced. Yes, the second amendment application concerns the change in the number of steel strips (coils) produced due to the change in the number of units produced. It is acceptable to submit such an application.

[0122] The information processing apparatus 2 sends a notice indicating that there has been a second change application to the second order receiving terminal device 3b2 (S318). Further, the information processing apparatus 2 sends a notice indicating that it has received the second change application and that it has received an operation regarding conditional approval to the order placing terminal device 3a (S320). When the approval of the second change application is given by a user belonging to the second order receiving organization, the second order receiving terminal device 3b2 sends information to that effect to the information processing apparatus 2 (S324). Since the information processing apparatus 2 has received an operation regarding conditional approval in step S316, based on the approval of the second change application, it treats the first change application as having been approved. The information processing apparatus 2 sends a notice indicating that the first change application has been approved to the order placing terminal device 3a (S326). In response, the order placing terminal device 3a displays information indicating that the first change application has been approved (S328). (S320).

[0123] For example, as the first order receiving organization, even if it has received a change application for order data from the ordering organization, it may not be able to determine whether to approve or reject the change application without coordinating with the second order receiving organization that supplies goods to itself. According to this configuration, the first order receiving organization can be set so that the change application from the ordering organization is approved on the condition that there is approval from the second order receiving organization. As a result, the lead time until the change application is approved or rejected can be shortened. As a result, changes to the production plan among multiple organizations can proceed smoothly. (S324). Since the information processing apparatus 2 has received an operation regarding conditional approval in step S316, based on the approval of the second change application, it treats the first change application as having been approved. The information processing apparatus 2 sends a notice indicating that the first change application has been approved to the order placing terminal device 3a (S326). In response, the order placing terminal device 3a displays information indicating that the first change application has been approved (S328). (S326). For example, as the first order receiving organization, even if it has received a change application for order data from the ordering organization, it may not be able to determine whether to approve or reject the change application without coordinating with the second order receiving organization that supplies goods to itself. According to this configuration, the first order receiving organization can be set so that the change application from the ordering organization is approved on the condition that there is approval from the second order receiving organization. As a result, the lead time until the change application is approved or rejected can be shortened. As a result, changes to the production plan among multiple organizations can proceed smoothly. (S328). For example, as the first order receiving organization, even if it has received a change application for order data from the ordering organization, it may not be able to determine whether to approve or reject the change application without coordinating with the second order receiving organization that supplies goods to itself. According to this configuration, the first order receiving organization can be set so that the change application from the ordering organization is approved on the condition that there is approval from the second order receiving organization. As a result, the lead time until the change application is approved or rejected can be shortened. As a result, changes to the production plan among multiple organizations can proceed smoothly.

[0124] For example, as the first order receiving organization, even if it has received a change application for order data from the ordering organization, it may not be able to determine whether to approve or reject the change application without coordinating with the second order receiving organization that supplies goods to itself. According to this configuration, the first order receiving organization can be set so that the change application from the ordering organization is approved on the condition that there is approval from the second order receiving organization.

[0125] (Seventh Embodiment) In the above embodiment, the first ordering user, the second ordering user, the first receiving user, and For each of the second receiving-side users, the first ordering-side privileges, the second ordering-side privileges, and the first receiving-side privileges are assigned. We have explained examples of how the Limit and Second Order-Side Authority are associated, but the types of authority are not limited to these. It is not possible. In System 1, the organization (the ordering organization or the receiving organization in the above embodiment) (May be an organization other than the ordering organization and the receiving organization) Users may be associated with task delegation privileges. The following describes the users to whom task delegation privileges can be associated. The user is referred to as a "business outsourcing user."

[0126] In one embodiment, the authority to perform the business outsourcing is granted by a user belonging to the ordering organization. It can be associated with the user. For example, the first ordering user can use their ordering terminal device 3a The information processing device 2 performs the operation to associate the business proxy user with business proxy authority, and the information processing device 2 then The operation may be accepted.

[0127] In one embodiment, a first-order user to whom first-order authority is associated, first order Associating task delegation authority equivalent to or more restricted than the user's authority with a task delegation user Yes, it is possible. Similarly, a second-order user who has the second-order authority associated with them will have the second-order authority. Business proxy privileges equivalent to or more restricted than those of other users can be associated with business proxy users. In one embodiment, the first receiving-side user to whom the first receiving-side authority is associated is the first receiving-side user Associating task delegation authority equivalent to or more restricted than the user's authority with a task delegation user Yes, it is possible. Similarly, a second-party solution associated with second-party authority will have second-party authority. Business proxy privileges equivalent to or more restricted than those of other users can be associated with business proxy users. .

[0128] Refer to Figure 16-17 to see an example of business delegation authority. Figure 16 shows the order date. If the data pertains to an order from the first ordering group to the first receiving group, Information processing based on the authority of the first ordering party, the authority of the second ordering party, and the authority of the business agent. This figure shows an example of an operation that device 2 can accept. In this example, the task delegation authority is 1 The first ordering user to whom ordering authority is associated, is associated with the business outsourcing user. It shall be assumed that...

[0129] Refer to Figure 10 for the operations that can be accepted based on the first and second ordering authority. As explained above, the explanation will be omitted below. The authority to act on behalf of others is associated with... The business outsourcing users can, for example, inquire about order data, register or modify order data, and place orders. Viewing of data registration notifications and change request notifications, viewing of rejection notices for order data change requests, and It is possible to perform operations such as viewing the shipping schedule corresponding to the order data. On the other hand, for example, Rejection / approval of order data change requests, registration / change requests for shipping schedules corresponding to order data Furthermore, operations such as registering or changing billing categories corresponding to order data may be restricted. Regarding order data from the first ordering group to the first receiving group, business proxy authority applies. This can be said to be equivalent to the authority of the first orderer.

[0130] Figure 17 shows the order data relating to orders from the second ordering group to the first receiving group. In the case of data, the respective rights of the first ordering party, the second ordering party, and the business agent This figure shows an example of an operation that the information processing device 2 can accept based on this. However, the business outsourcing authority is granted by the first-order user to whom the first-order authority is associated. This should be associated with the user acting as the delegation agent.

[0131] In this example, the first-order user associated with the first-order authority can, for example, place a second order. You can perform operations such as querying data and viewing the shipping schedule corresponding to the second order data. On the other hand, business proxy users who have been granted business proxy authority are restricted from performing any operations. Obtained. In other words, the business proxy authority is obtained from the first ordering user to whom the first ordering authority is associated. The associated business outsourcing user has access to order data from the second ordering group (including viewing). They cannot be involved. In this respect, the second ordering group cannot be involved with the first receiving group. Regarding order data in the loop, the authority to act as an agent is more restricted than the authority of the first orderer. El.

[0132] This configuration allows for more flexible and efficient distribution. The authority to act on behalf of others is equivalent to or more restrictive than the authority associated with the user who grants it. Therefore, transactions can be conducted safely.

[0133] <4. Hardware Configuration> Referring to Figure 18, the devices included in System 1 described above are controlled by the computer 70 An example of a hardware configuration for implementation is described below. Note that the functions of each device are multiple. This can also be achieved by dividing the process among several devices.

[0134] As shown in Figure 18, the computer 70 includes a processor 700 and a storage device 702. The input interface 704, data interface 706, communication interface 708, and display device 710 include.

[0135] The processor 700 executes the program stored in the memory device 702. It controls various processes in the computer 70. For example, the control unit 1 of the information processing device 2. Each functional unit of 0 processes the program stored in the memory device 702 using the processor 700. This can be achieved by executing [this action].

[0136] The storage device 702 is, for example, RAM (Random Access Memory), etc. It is a storage medium. RAM is the program that runs on the processor 700. It temporarily stores code and data required when the program is executed.

[0137] Other storage devices 702 include, for example, hard disk drives (HDDs) and flash memory. It is a non-volatile storage medium such as Mori. The storage device 702 contains the operating system and It stores various programs to realize each of the above configurations.

It is also possible to store the table and the database that manages that table. Grams and data are loaded into the storage device 702 as needed, by the processor Referenced from 700.

[0138] Input I / F704 is a device for receiving input from the user. Specific examples of the F704 include the camera, buttons, microphone, keyboard, mouse, and touch panel. Examples include various sensors, wearable devices, etc. The input I / F 704 is, for example, It is connected to computer 70 via an interface such as USB (Universal Serial Bus). It's okay.

[0139] The data I / F 706 is a device for inputting data from outside the computer 70. As a concrete example of the data interface 706, data stored on various storage media... There is a drive device for reading the data. The data I / F 706 is external to computer 70. It is also conceivable that it may be provided in such a place. In that case, the data I / F 706 would be, for example, an I / F such as USB. It connects to computer 70 via an interface.

[0140] The communication interface 708 communicates with external devices of the computer 70 via wired or wireless connection. This is a device for performing data communication via network 4. The communication I / F 708 is... It is also conceivable that it be located outside of computer 70. In that case, communication I / F 708 will be, For example, it is connected to computer 70 via an interface such as USB.

[0141] The display device 710 is a device for displaying various types of information. Examples include liquid crystal displays and organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) displays. Examples include displays for wearable devices. The display device 710 is a computer It may be provided outside of the 70. In that case, the display device 710 is, for example, a display It is connected to computer 70 via cables, etc. Also, as input I / F 704, When a control panel is used, the display device 710 is configured to be integrated with the input I / F 704. It is possible to do so.

[0142] Furthermore, the components of the device included in the system 1 described in the above embodiment are as follows: The program stored in memory device 702 is executed by processor 700, The processing described will be realized in cooperation with other hardware. In other words, These components, as software or firmware, and their corresponding hardware It is also envisioned as software, and in both concepts, "function," "means," and "parts" It is also written as "processing circuit," "unit," or "module," and each of these is read differently. It can be replaced.

[0143] <5. Variation> The embodiments described above are provided to facilitate understanding of this disclosure and do not limit this disclosure. It is not intended to be interpreted as such. Each element of the embodiment, as well as its arrangement, materials, and conditions. The shape and size are not limited to those exemplified and can be changed as appropriate. Furthermore, the configurations shown in different embodiments can be partially substituted or combined. It is Noh.

[0144] The distribution channels for steel can branch out. For example, in Figure 1, structure Or1 is related to structure Or2 and structure Organization Or2 can directly trade with Organization Or3. In this example, Organization Or 1 corresponds to the ordering organization in relation to organizations Or2 and Or3. Also, organization Or2 is In relation to Organization Or1, it corresponds to the receiving organization, and in relation to Organization Or3, it corresponds to the ordering organization. It is possible.

[0145] The operations that can be performed based on the ordering party's authority and the receiving party's authority are as follows: This can be determined based on the relationship with the side tissue. For example, from tissue Or1 to tissue Or2 in Figure 1 The order-side permissions associated with users belonging to organization Or1 regarding order data are: Regarding the order data from organization Or1 to organization Or3 in Figure 1, the users belonging to organization Or1 It can be stronger than the ordering authority associated with it.

[0146] An organization can be a group composed of multiple individuals. An organization is, for example, a company. This could be any of the following: a department, a section within a department, or a team within a section. .

[0147] In the above embodiments (particularly Figure 15, the sixth embodiment), the operation relating to conditional approval is: The first amendment request is subject to approval by the user of the second receiving organization. I explained that it means setting it up to be approved, but it is not limited to that. The first amendment request is The conditions for approval may be other than the approval of the second amendment application. In this embodiment, the conditions for the approval of the first amendment request are the changes related to the first amendment request. The content is below a predetermined threshold for the first change application to be automatically approved. Good. An example of the changes related to the first amendment application being below the prescribed threshold is the first amendment application. The change in the delivery date must be within 3 business days. The details of the change in the first change application must be as specified. Another example of being below the threshold is when the number of deliveries related to the first change request is changed from what was originally planned. The number of deliveries must be within 5% of the total number of deliveries.

[0148] In the above embodiment, order data between the ordering organization and the first receiving organization, and the first receiving organization Order data between the ordering organization and the second receiving organization must be in a common format, at least partially. This is acceptable. According to this configuration, communication between multiple organizations included in the steel distribution channel Communication can become smoother.

[0149] In the above embodiment, the authority associated with a user belonging to the organization (for example, the first order) User permissions (such as those related to the user) may be directly associated with the individual user, and may also be associated with the group to which the user belongs. They may be indirectly linked through a platform. They may also be indirectly linked through a group to which a user belongs. If a restriction is associated, the same restriction will also be associated with other users belonging to that group. It can be attached.

[0150] In the above embodiment, System 1 has various functions based on well-known technologies (for example, user It may also include additional features such as registration functionality.

[0151] In the above embodiment, the information processing device 2 performs operations on order data from a user. Acceptance involves the user interface and display elements for manipulating the order data. (For example, buttons, text boxes, etc.) on the terminal device 3 used by the user. This may involve transmitting information for display to the terminal device 3 used by the user. This may involve receiving information about the operation entered by the user, and the terminal used by the user. The terminal device 3 stores information related to the input operation in the database of the storage unit 12. It may also be the case that the information processing device 2 performs operations on order data from a user. Not accepting the order data would affect the user interface and display requirements for manipulating the order data. By not transmitting information for displaying elements etc. on the terminal device 3 used by the user, It is possible that the terminal device 3 used by the user receives information about the operation entered. This may be done by not believing (or discarding it even if received), and the user Information regarding the operation entered in terminal device 3 is stored in the database of storage unit 12. It's fine to do that.

[0152] System 1 is designed to streamline the distribution of materials other than steel (e.g., aluminum and resin). It can also be used for that purpose.
