[0012] Embodiments of the inventory management device, inventory management method, and inventory management program according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0013] [1. Structure] An example of the configuration of the inventory management device according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 1, etc. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing an overview of an example of the configuration of the inventory management device in a block diagram.

[0014] The inventory management device 100 shown in Figure 1 is a commercially available desktop personal computer. However, the inventory management device 100 is not limited to stationary information processing devices such as desktop personal computers; it may also be a portable information processing device such as a commercially available notebook computer, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), smartphone, or tablet personal computer.

[0015] The inventory management device 100 comprises a control unit 102, a communication interface unit 104, a storage unit 106, and an input / output interface unit 108. Each component of the inventory management device 100 is connected to communicate via any communication path.

[0016] The communication interface unit 104 connects the inventory 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 the function of communicating data with other devices and via the communication line. Here, the network 300 has the function of connecting the inventory 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 storage unit 106 may be stored in, for example, the server 200.

[0017] The input / output interface unit 108 is connected to an input device 112 and an output device 114. The output device 114 can be a monitor (including a home television), a speaker, or a printer. The input device 112 can be a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, or a monitor that works in conjunction with the mouse to provide pointing device functionality. 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 mouse 112.

[0018] The storage unit 106 stores various databases, tables, and files. The storage unit 106 also stores computer programs that work in cooperation with the OS (Operating System) to give instructions to the CPU (Central Processing Unit) to perform various processes. As the storage unit 106, for example, memory devices such as RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read Only Memory), fixed disk devices such as hard disks, flexible disks, and optical disks can be used. The storage unit 106 stores storage ledger data 106a, incoming data 106b, incoming detail data 106c, consignor inventory data 106d, physical inventory data 106e, consignor inventory incoming detail data 106f, physical inventory incoming detail data 106g, outgoing data 106h, outgoing detail data 106i, consignor inventory outgoing detail data 106j, and physical inventory outgoing detail data 106k. Details of the storage ledger data 106a, receiving data 106b, receiving details data 106c, consignor inventory data 106d, physical inventory data 106e, consignor inventory receiving details data 106f, physical inventory receiving details data 106g, shipping data 106h, shipping details data 106i, consignor inventory shipping details data 106j, and physical inventory shipping details data 106k will be described later.

[0019] The control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that comprehensively controls the inventory management device 100. The control unit 102 has internal memory for storing control programs such as the OS, programs that define various processing procedures, and required data, and executes various information processing based on these stored programs. The control unit 102 includes a storage ledger input unit 102a, a display control unit 102b, an incoming goods input processing unit 102c, and an outgoing goods input processing unit 102d.

[0020] The storage ledger input unit 102a registers storage ledger data, which is storage management information, for each storage ledger number, associating it with the product code, product name, quantity, unit weight, unit volume, lot management information, consignor inventory management information, and consignor, based on the operation content entered by the operator via the input device 112, and stores it in the storage unit 106.

[0021] The display control unit 102b refers to the storage ledger data 106a and displays an incoming inventory input screen on the monitor 114 that includes the consignor and storage ledger number corresponding to the entered product code. If a storage ledger number displayed on this incoming inventory input screen is selected, the monitor 114 displays a common incoming inventory management screen for the selected storage ledger number, which includes incoming consignor inventory information where the lot number of the product and the number of products received for each warehouse can be entered, and incoming physical inventory information where the lot number of the product and the physical inventory received for each warehouse can be displayed. Furthermore, the display control unit 102b refers to the storage ledger data 106a and displays an outbound input screen on the monitor 114 that includes the consignor and storage ledger number corresponding to the entered product code. If a storage ledger number displayed on the outbound input screen is selected, the monitor 114 displays a common outbound inventory management screen for the selected storage ledger number, which includes outbound consignor inventory information where the lot number of the product and the number of products to be outbound for each warehouse can be entered, and outbound physical inventory information where the lot number of the product and the number of physical stocks issued for each warehouse can be displayed.

[0022] The receiving input processing unit 102c displays the number of incoming goods for each warehouse in the receiving physical inventory information, in response to the input operation of the lot number and the number of goods received for each warehouse in the receiving consignor inventory information on the receiving inventory management common screen displayed by the monitor 114. The receiving input processing unit 102c also displays the aggregated value of the number of goods received for each warehouse in the receiving consignor inventory information displayed by the monitor 114 in the receiving physical inventory information. Furthermore, when the receiving input processing unit 102c returns to the receiving input screen displayed by the monitor 114, it inputs and displays the aggregated value of the number of goods received for each warehouse in the receiving consignor inventory information in the receiving input information. Moreover, the receiving input processing unit 102c displays the weight in the receiving input information, in which it multiplies the aggregated value of the number of goods received for each warehouse in the receiving consignor inventory information displayed by the monitor 114 by the unit weight associated with the storage ledger number.

[0023] The outbound input processing unit 102d displays the number of outbound items for each warehouse in the outbound physical inventory information, reflecting the input operation of the lot number and the number of items outbound for each warehouse in the outbound consignor inventory information on the outbound inventory management common screen displayed by the monitor 114. The outbound input processing unit 102d also displays the aggregated value of the number of outbound items for each warehouse in the outbound consignor inventory information displayed by the monitor 114 in the outbound physical inventory information. Furthermore, when the operation to return to the outbound input screen displayed by the monitor 114 is performed, the outbound input processing unit 102d inputs and displays the aggregated value of the number of outbound items in the outbound consignor inventory information into the number of items and outbound quantity in the outbound input information. The outbound input processing unit 102d also displays the weight in the outbound input information, reflecting the value obtained by multiplying the aggregated value of the number of outbound items in the outbound consignor inventory information displayed by the monitor 114 by the unit weight associated with the storage ledger number.

[0024] [2. Processes performed by the inventory management system] Next, we will explain the processes performed by the inventory management device 100. Figure 2 is a flowchart showing an overview of the processes performed by the inventory management device 100.

[0025] As shown in Figure 2, first, the storage ledger input unit 102a performs a storage ledger input process to register storage ledger data, which is storage management information, based on the operation content entered by the operator via the input device 112 (step S1).

[0026] Figure 3 shows an example of a storage ledger data table in storage ledger data 106a.

[0027] The storage ledger data table T1 shown in Figure 3 stores the following information for each storage ledger number: product code, product name, quantity per unit, unit weight, unit volume, lot management, consignor inventory management, and consignor.

[0028] Specifically, the first row of the storage ledger data table T1 stores the following information associated with the storage ledger number "H20221201": product code "X10001", product name "Domestic Wheat", quantity per unit "1", unit weight "3", unit volume "0", lot management "Yes", consignor inventory management "Manage", and consignor "N001", "□△ Food Selection and Disposal".

[0029] As shown in Figure 3, the storage ledger input unit 102a registers storage ledger data, which is storage management information, for each storage ledger number, associating it with the product code, product name, quantity, unit weight, unit volume, lot management information, consignor inventory management information, and depositor, and stores it in the storage unit 106, based on the operation content entered by the operator via the input device 112. Here, the depositor is the person who requested the storage of goods and the consignor to whom storage fees, etc., are billed. The depositor is managed by a transaction master (not shown) which associates the depositor code (consignor code) with the depositor name.

[0030] Next, the inventory management device 100 executes the receiving input process based on the operation details entered by the operator via the input device 112 (step S2). In this case, first, the display control unit 102b displays the receiving input screen on the monitor 114, and the receiving input processing unit 102c performs the receiving input process to enter the goods into the storage ledger number in response to the operator's operation of the input device 112 on the receiving input screen displayed on the monitor 114.

[0031] Figure 4 shows an example of the inventory entry screen displayed by monitor 114 during the inventory entry process.

[0032] The receiving input screen P1 shown in Figure 4 includes a receiving date cell M1 for entering the receiving date, a department cell M2 for entering the department, a consignor cell M3 for entering the consignor who is the shipper, and a receiving input information table K1.

[0033] The receiving information table K1 associates the product code with the product name, storage ledger number, unit weight, quantity per case, number of packages, number of loose items, quantity per case, and weight (KGS). Here, unit weight or unit volume refers to the weight or volume per unit. In addition to the number of items per case, the quantity per case also includes items such as paper and rolls where 1000 sheets constitute one ream. For example, 4.5 reams would be 4500 sheets.

[0034] The operator inputs the specified information into the receiving date cell M1, the department cell M2, and the depositor cell M3 via the input device 112, and also inputs the product code into the product cell and the storage ledger number into the storage ledger number cell of the receiving input information table K1.

[0035] Figure 5 shows an example of input results entered by an operator on the inventory input screen P1 during the inventory input process.

[0036] As shown in Figure 5, the display control unit 102b refers to the storage ledger data 106a and displays Sales Department 1 and □△ Food Trading Company on the storage input screen P1, corresponding to the storage date cell M1 "2022 / 12 / 19", department cell M2 "BMN01", and depositor cell M3 "N001" entered by the operator via the input device 112.

[0037] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5, the display control unit 102b refers to the storage ledger data 106a and displays the product name "Domestic Wheat" and "H20221201" in the storage ledger number cell, corresponding to the product code "X10001" entered by the operator via the input device 112.

[0038] When the monitor 114 is displaying the incoming goods input screen P1, if the operator activates a button (not shown) or a common inventory management screen via the input device 112, the display control unit 102b displays the incoming goods input (common inventory management screen) on the monitor 114.

[0039] Figure 6 shows an example of the incoming goods entry (common inventory management screen) displayed on monitor 114.

[0040] The receiving input (common inventory management screen) P2 shown in Figure 6 includes a storage ledger number cell M10 that displays the storage ledger number, a product cell M11 that displays the product code associated with the storage ledger number, a quantity cell M12 that displays the quantity associated with the storage ledger number, a unit weight cell M13 that displays the unit weight of the product associated with the storage ledger number, and a unit volume cell M14 that displays the unit volume of the product associated with the storage ledger number. In this embodiment, the receiving input (common inventory management screen) P2 corresponds to the common receiving inventory management screen.

[0041] As shown in Figure 6, the display control unit 102b displays "H20221201" in the storage ledger number cell M10, "X10001" (domestic wheat) in the product cell M11, "1" in the quantity cell M12, and "3" in the unit weight cell M13.

[0042] Furthermore, the receiving input (common inventory management screen) P2 includes a consignor inventory information table K2 in which the lot number of the product and the number of products received for each warehouse can be entered, and a physical inventory information table K3 in which the lot number of the product and the physical inventory received for each warehouse can be displayed. In this embodiment, the consignor inventory information table K2 corresponds to the receiving consignor inventory information, and the physical inventory information table K3 corresponds to the receiving physical inventory information.

[0043] As shown in Figure 6, the display control unit 102b displays the lot number of the product linked to the storage ledger data 106a, the consignor, and the consignor inventory for each warehouse in the consignor inventory information table K2. Furthermore, the display control unit 102b displays the lot number linked to the storage ledger data 106a and the actual inventory in the physical inventory information table K3.

[0044] Subsequently, the receiving input processing unit 102c accepts the receiving operation input from the consignor in response to the operator's operation of the input device 112 on the consignor inventory information table K2 displayed on the monitor 114, displays the numerical value, and also reflects and displays the number of goods per warehouse in real time in the physical inventory information table K3.

[0045] Figure 7 shows an example of input results entered by an operator into the inventory entry (common inventory management screen) P2 via the input device 112.

[0046] As shown in Figure 7, when an operator operates the input device 112 and enters "15" and "5" into the number of shipments in the Tokyo warehouse in the consignor inventory information table K2, the receiving input processing unit 102c enters and displays "15" and "5" into the total number of received goods, the number of outstanding shipments, and the total number, respectively, in the consignor inventory information table K2.

[0047] Furthermore, the receiving input processing unit 102c adds "15" and "5" to the number of shipments in the Tokyo warehouse in the consignor inventory information table K2, resulting in a value of "20," and then inputs "20" into both the number of shipments and the total number in the Tokyo warehouse in the physical inventory information table K3, reflecting and displaying the changes in real time.

[0048] Similarly, as shown in Figure 7, when an operator operates the input device 112 and enters "10" for the number of shipments at the Yokohama warehouse in the consignor inventory information table K2, the receiving input processing unit 102c enters and displays "10" for the total number of received goods, the number of outstanding shipments, and the total number in the consignor inventory information table K2.

[0049] Furthermore, the receiving input processing unit 102c inputs "10" into the number of shipments at the Yokohama warehouse in the consignor inventory information table K2, and in conjunction with this, inputs "10" into both the number of shipments and the total number of shipments at the Yokohama warehouse in the physical inventory information table K3, reflecting and displaying the changes in real time.

[0050] This allows the operator to verify in real time whether the quantities of the consignor's inventory and the actual inventory match. The operator then registers the quantity of the consignor's inventory by operating the enter key or the like via the input device 112. In accordance with this registration operation, the display control unit 102b displays the incoming inventory input screen P1 on the monitor 114.

[0051] Figure 8 shows an example of the inventory entry screen displayed by the monitor 114. As shown in Figure 8, when the monitor 114 is displaying the inventory management common screen P2, the display control unit 102b displays the inventory entry screen P1 on the monitor 114 when the operator registers the quantity of consignor inventory by operating the enter key or the like via the input device 112.

[0052] In the case shown in Figure 8, the receiving input processing unit 102c inputs "30," which is the sum (aggregated) value of the number of incoming goods in the consignor inventory information table K2 on the inventory management common screen P2, into the number of goods and the quantity of incoming goods linked to the storage ledger number "H20221201" in the receiving input information table K1 and displays them.

[0053] Furthermore, the receiving input processing unit 102c inputs and displays the value "90," which is obtained by multiplying the number of packages "30" by the unit weight "3," in the weight (KGS) field of the receiving input information table K1.

[0054] Furthermore, when an operator performs a registration operation via the input device 112, the receiving input processing unit 102c generates receiving data 106b, receiving details data 106c, consignor inventory data 106d, physical inventory data 106e, consignor inventory receiving details data 106f, and physical inventory receiving details data 106g, respectively, based on the display contents of the receiving input information table K1, and stores them in the storage unit 106.

[0055] Figure 9 shows an example of a goods receipt data table in goods receipt data 106b. In the goods receipt data table T2 shown in Figure 9, the goods receipt number "NK0001" is associated with the goods receipt date "2022 / 12 / 19", the department "BMN001", and the depositor "N001".

[0056] Figure 10 shows an example of a receiving details data table in receiving details data 106c. In the receiving details data table T3 shown in Figure 10, the receiving number "NK0001" is associated with the row number "1", storage ledger number "H20221201", number of packages "30", number of loose items "0", quantity "30", and weight "90".

[0057] Figure 11 shows an example of a shipper inventory data table in shipper inventory data 106d. As shown in the first row of shipper inventory data table T4 in Figure 11, the shipper inventory SEQ "1" is associated with the storage ledger number "H20221201", line code "S001", lot number "L20221213TKY", quantity "1", incoming quantity "15", incoming weight "45", outgoing quantity "0", and outgoing weight "0".

[0058] Figure 12 shows an example of a physical inventory data table in physical inventory data 106e. As shown in the first row of the physical inventory data table T5 in Figure 12, the physical inventory SEQ "1" is associated with the product code "X10001", warehouse code "S001", lot number "L20221213TKY", quantity per unit "1", incoming quantity "20", incoming weight "60", outgoing quantity "0", and outgoing weight "0".

[0059] Figure 13 shows an example of a shipper inventory receipt details data table in shipper inventory receipt details data 106f. As shown in the first row of the shipper inventory receipt details data table T6 in Figure 13, the receipt number "NK0001" is associated with the "row number", shipper inventory SEQ "1", number of packages "15", number of loose items "0", quantity "15", and weight "45".

[0060] Figure 14 shows an example of a physical inventory receipt details data table in physical inventory receipt details data 106g. As shown in the first row of physical inventory receipt details data table T7 in Figure 13, the receipt number "NK0001" is associated with the "row number", physical inventory SEQ "1", number of packages "20", number of loose items "0", quantity "20", and weight "60".

[0061] In this manner, the receiving input processing unit 102c generates receiving data 106b, receiving details data 106c, consignor inventory data 106d, physical inventory data 106e, consignor inventory receiving details data 106f, and physical inventory receiving details data 106g, respectively, in accordance with the registration operation of the input device 112 by the operator, and stores them in the storage unit 106.

[0062] Returning to Figure 2, we will continue the explanation from step S3 onwards. In step S3, the inventory management device 100 executes the outbound input process based on the operation details entered by the operator via the input device 112. In this case, first, the display control unit 102b displays the outbound input screen on the monitor 114, and the outbound input processing unit 102d performs the outbound input process to enter the goods out into the storage ledger in response to the operator's operation of the input device 112 on the outbound input screen displayed on the monitor 114.

[0063] Figure 15 shows an example of the outbound input screen displayed by monitor 114 during the outbound input process.

[0064] The outbound shipment input screen P3 shown in Figure 15 includes an outbound shipment date cell M4 for entering the outbound shipment date, a department cell M5 for entering the department, a consignor cell M6 for entering the consignor who is the shipper, and an outbound shipment input information table K4.

[0065] The operator inputs the specified information into the dispatch date cell M4, the department cell M5, and the consignor cell M6 via the input device 112, and also inputs the product code into the product cell and the storage ledger number into the storage ledger number cell of the dispatch input information table K4.

[0066] Figure 16 shows an example of input results entered by an operator on the outbound input screen P3 during the outbound input process.

[0067] As shown in Figure 16, the display control unit 102b refers to the storage ledger data 106a and displays Sales Department 1 and □△ Food Trading Company on the outbound input screen P3, corresponding to the outbound date cell M4 "2022 / 12 / 19", department cell M5 "BMN01", and depositor cell M6 "N001" entered by the operator via the input device 112.

[0068] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 16, the display control unit 102b refers to the storage ledger data 106a and displays the product name "Domestic Wheat" and "H20221201" in the storage ledger number cell, corresponding to the product code "X10001" entered by the operator via the input device 112.

[0069] Subsequently, if the operator activates a button (not shown) or a common inventory management screen via the input device 112, the display control unit 102b displays the outbound input (common inventory management screen) on the monitor 114.

[0070] Figure 17 shows an example of the outbound shipment input (common inventory management screen) displayed on monitor 114.

[0071] The outbound input (common inventory management screen) P4 shown in Figure 17 includes a storage ledger number cell M10 that displays the storage ledger number, a product cell M11 that displays the product code associated with the storage ledger number, a quantity cell M12 that displays the quantity associated with the storage ledger number, a unit weight cell M13 that displays the unit weight of the product associated with the storage ledger number, and a unit volume cell M14 that displays the unit volume of the product associated with the storage ledger number. In this embodiment, the outbound input (common inventory management screen) P4 corresponds to the outbound inventory management common screen.

[0072] In the case shown in Figure 17, the display control unit 102b displays "H20221201" in the storage ledger number cell M10, "X10001" (domestic wheat) in the product cell M11, "1" in the quantity cell M12, and "3" in the unit weight cell M13.

[0073] Furthermore, the outbound shipment input (common inventory management screen) P4 includes a consignor inventory information table K5 in which the lot number of the product and the number of products to be shipped from each warehouse can be entered, and a physical inventory information table K6 in which the lot number of the product and the number of physical stocks shipped from each warehouse can be displayed. In this embodiment, the consignor inventory information table K5 corresponds to the outbound consignor inventory information, and the physical inventory information table K6 corresponds to the outbound physical inventory information.

[0074] As shown in Figure 17, the display control unit 102b displays the lot number of the product linked to the storage ledger data 106a, the consignor, and the consignor inventory for each warehouse in the consignor inventory information table K5. Furthermore, the display control unit 102b displays the lot number linked to the storage ledger data 106a and the actual inventory in the physical inventory information table K6.

[0075] Subsequently, the outbound input processing unit 102d accepts the consignor's outbound operation input and displays a numerical value in response to the operator's operation of the consignor inventory information table K5 displayed on the monitor 114 using the operator's input device 112, and also reflects and displays the number of goods per warehouse in real time in the physical inventory information table K6.

[0076] Figure 18 shows an example of input results entered by an operator into the outbound inventory input (common inventory management screen) P4 via the input device 112.

[0077] As shown in Figure 18, when an operator operates the input device 112 and enters "3" and "1" in the number of shipments for Tokyo warehouse in the consignor inventory information table K5, the outbound input processing unit 102d enters and displays "3" and "1" in the total number of shipments.

[0078] Furthermore, the outbound shipment input processing unit 102d subtracts the number of outbound shipments from the inventory and reflects this in the balance. Specifically, the outbound shipment input processing unit 102d reflects the number of shipments in the balance at the Tokyo warehouse in the consignor inventory information table K5 as "12" and "4" and displays the total as "12" and "4".

[0079] As shown in Figure 18, the outbound input processing unit 102d, in response to the operator's input operation to the consignor inventory information table K5, inputs "4" to both the number of outbound shipments and the total number of outbound shipments from the Tokyo warehouse in the physical inventory information table K6, linked to the sum of the outbound shipment quantities of "3" and "1" in the consignor inventory information table K5, and displays this in real time.

[0080] Furthermore, the outbound shipment input processing unit 102d also reflects and displays the balance of the Tokyo warehouse in the physical inventory information table K6 in real time. Specifically, the outbound shipment input processing unit 102d inputs "16" into both the number of shipments and the total number in the balance of the Tokyo warehouse in the physical inventory information table K6 and displays it in real time.

[0081] Similarly, when an operator operates the input device 112 and enters "5" for the number of shipments at the Yokohama warehouse in the consignor inventory information table K5, the outbound input processing unit 102d enters and displays "5" for the total number of outbound shipments, the number of remaining shipments, and the total number in the consignor inventory information table K5.

[0082] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 18, the outbound shipment input processing unit 102d, in conjunction with the number of shipments "5" in the Yokohama warehouse in the consignor inventory information table K5, inputs "5" into both the number of shipments and the total number of shipments in the Yokohama warehouse in the physical inventory information table K6, and inputs "5" into both the number of shipments and the total number of balances, reflecting and displaying the changes in real time.

[0083] This allows the operator to verify in real time whether the quantities of goods issued in the consignor's inventory and the actual inventory match. Subsequently, when the operator registers the shipment of goods from the consignor's inventory by operating the enter key or the like via the input device 112, the display control unit 102b displays the shipment input screen P3 on the monitor 114.

[0084] Figure 19 shows an example of the outbound input screen displayed by the monitor 114. As shown in Figure 19, when the monitor 114 is displaying the outbound input (common inventory management screen) P4, the display control unit 102b displays the outbound input screen P3 on the monitor 114 when the operator registers the quantity of consignor inventory by operating the enter key or the like via the input device 112.

[0085] In the case shown in Figure 19, the outbound input processing unit 102d inputs (aggregates) the number of outbound shipments in the consignor inventory information table K5 on the inventory management common screen P2 into the number of shipments and outbound quantity associated with the storage ledger number "H20221201" in the outbound input information table K4, and displays them.

[0086] Specifically, the outbound shipment input processing unit 102d inputs "9," which is the sum (aggregated) value of the number of shipments in the consignor inventory information table K5 on the common inventory management screen P2, into the number of shipments and the outbound quantity linked to the storage ledger number "H20221201" in the outbound shipment input information table K4 and displays them. Furthermore, the outbound shipment input processing unit 102d inputs "27," which is the number of shipments "9" multiplied by the unit weight "3," into the weight (KGS) field in the inventory input information table K4 and displays it.

[0087] Furthermore, when an operator performs a registration operation via the input device 112, the outbound input processing unit 102d generates outbound data 106h, outbound detail data 106i, consignor inventory outbound detail data 106j, and physical inventory outbound detail data 106k based on the display contents of the outbound input information table K4, stores them in the storage unit 106, and updates the values ​​of the consignor inventory data 106d and physical inventory data 106e.

[0088] Figure 20 shows an example of an outbound data table in outbound data 106h. In the outbound data table T10 shown in Figure 20, the outbound number "SK0001" is associated with the outbound date "2022 / 12 / 31", the department "BMN001", and the depositor "N001".

[0089] Figure 21 shows an example of an outbound shipment data table in outbound shipment data 106i. In the outbound shipment data table T11 shown in Figure 21, the outbound shipment number "SK0001" is associated with the row number "1", storage ledger number "H20221201", number of packages "9", number of loose items "0", quantity "9", and weight "27".

[0090] Figure 22 shows an example of a shipper inventory data table in the updated shipper inventory data 106d. As shown in the first row of the shipper inventory data table T12 in Figure 22, the shipper inventory SEQ "1" is associated with the storage ledger number "H20221201", the line code "S001", the lot number "L20221213TKY", the quantity per unit "1", the incoming quantity "15", the incoming weight "45", the outgoing quantity "3", and the outgoing weight "9". Similarly, as shown in the second row of the shipper inventory data table T12, the shipper inventory SEQ "2" is associated with the storage ledger number "H20221201", the line code "S001", the lot number "L20221213TKY", the quantity per unit "1", the incoming quantity "5", the incoming weight "15", the outgoing quantity "1", and the outgoing weight "3". Furthermore, as shown in the third row of the consignor inventory data table T12, the consignor inventory SEQ "3" is associated with and stored the following: storage ledger number "H20221201", line code "S002", lot number "L20221213YKH", quantity "1", incoming quantity "10", incoming weight "30", outgoing quantity "5", and outgoing weight "15".

[0091] Figure 23 shows an example of a physical inventory data table in the updated physical inventory data 106e. As shown in the first row of the physical inventory data table T13 in Figure 23, the physical inventory SEQ "1" is associated with and stores the product code "X10001", warehouse code "S001", lot number "L20221213TKY", quantity per unit "1", incoming quantity "20", incoming weight "60", outgoing quantity "4", and outgoing weight "12". Similarly, as shown in the second row of the physical inventory data table T13, the physical inventory SEQ "2" is associated with and stores the product code "X10001", warehouse code "S002", lot number "L20221213YKH", quantity per unit "1", incoming quantity "10", incoming weight "30", outgoing quantity "5", and outgoing weight "15".

[0092] Figure 24 shows an example of a shipper inventory outbound details data table in shipper inventory outbound details data 106j. As shown in the first row of the shipper inventory outbound details data table T14 in Figure 24, the outbound number "SK0001" is associated with the "row number", shipper inventory SEQ "1", number of packages "3", number of loose items "0", quantity "3", and weight "9".

[0093] Figure 25 shows an example of a physical inventory outbound details data table in physical inventory outbound details data 106k. As shown in the first row of the physical inventory outbound details data table T15 in Figure 13, the outbound number "SK0001" is associated with the "row number", physical inventory SEQ "1", number of packages "4", number of loose items "0", quantity "4", and weight "12".

[0094] In this manner, when an operator performs a registration operation via the input device 112, the outbound input processing unit 102d generates outbound data 106h, outbound detail data 106i, consignor inventory outbound detail data 106j, and physical inventory outbound detail data 106k based on the display contents of the outbound input information table K4, stores them in the storage unit 106, and updates the values ​​of the consignor inventory data 106d and physical inventory data 106e.

[0095] Returning to Figure 2, we will continue the explanation from step S4 onwards. In step S4, the control unit 102 determines whether or not to terminate inventory management for the consignor based on the operation from the input device 112. If the control unit 102 determines to terminate inventory management for the consignor (step S4: Yes), the inventory management device 100 terminates this process. On the other hand, if the control unit 102 determines not to terminate inventory management for the consignor (step S4: No), the inventory management device 100 returns to step S2 and performs the subsequent inventory management processes for each consignor, namely the receiving input process and the shipping input process.

[0096] Figure 26 shows another example of the inventory entry screen displayed by monitor 114 during the inventory entry process.

[0097] As shown in Figure 26, the display control unit 102b refers to the storage ledger data 106a and displays the Sales Department 1 and Obic Flour Milling on the storage input screen P1, based on the predetermined information entered by the operator via the input device 112 in the receiving date cell M1, department cell M2, and depositor cell M3, and the product code in the product cell and storage ledger number in the storage ledger number cell of the receiving input information table K1, corresponding to department cell M2 "BMN01" and depositor cell M3 "N003".

[0098] Subsequently, if the operator activates a button (not shown) or a common inventory management screen via the input device 112, the display control unit 102b displays the incoming goods input (common inventory management screen) on the monitor 114.

[0099] When the monitor 114 is displaying the incoming goods input screen P1, if the operator activates a button (not shown) or a common inventory management screen via the input device 112, the display control unit 102b displays the incoming goods input (common inventory management screen) on the monitor 114.

[0100] Figure 27 shows an example of the incoming goods entry (common inventory management screen) displayed on monitor 114.

[0101] As shown in Figure 27, the display control unit 102b displays "H20221202" in the storage ledger number cell M10, "X10001" (domestic wheat) in the product cell M11, "1" in the quantity cell M12, and "3" in the unit weight cell M13.

[0102] Furthermore, when an operator operates the input device 112 and enters "9" for the number of goods in the Tokyo warehouse in the consignor inventory information table K2, the receiving input processing unit 102c enters and displays "9" for the total number of goods received, the number of goods in the balance, and the total number, respectively, in the consignor inventory information table K2.

[0103] Furthermore, the receiving input processing unit 102c also inputs "9" into the number of shipments in the Tokyo warehouse in the consignor inventory information table K2, and in conjunction with this, inputs "9" into the number of shipments received in the Tokyo warehouse in the physical inventory information table K3, and adds the inventory "16" and the received "9" to the balance value "25", which is the sum of the number of shipments and the total, and displays it in real time.

[0104] Similarly, as shown in Figure 27, when an operator operates the input device 112 and enters "6" for the number of incoming goods at the Yokohama warehouse in the consignor inventory information table K2, the receiving input processing unit 102c enters and displays "6" for the total number of incoming goods, the number of outstanding goods, and the total number in the consignor inventory information table K2.

[0105] Furthermore, the receiving input processing unit 102c inputs "6" into the number of shipments at the Yokohama warehouse in the consignor inventory information table K2, and in conjunction with this, inputs "6" into both the number of shipments and the total number of shipments received at the Yokohama warehouse in the physical inventory information table K3, reflecting and displaying the changes in real time.

[0106] Furthermore, the receiving input processing unit 102c adds the values ​​"5" for the number of items and total quantity of inventory at the Yokohama warehouse in the consignor inventory information table K2, and the values ​​"6" for the number of items and total quantity of incoming goods, to get a value of "11". This value is then entered into the respective values ​​for the number of items and total quantity of balance at the Yokohama warehouse in the physical inventory information table K3, and the results are reflected and displayed in real time.

[0107] This allows the operator to verify in real time whether the quantities of the consignor's inventory and the actual inventory match. The operator then registers the quantity of the consignor's inventory by operating the enter key or the like via the input device 112. In accordance with this registration operation, the display control unit 102b displays the incoming inventory input screen P1 on the monitor 114.

[0108] Figure 28 shows an example of the inventory entry screen displayed by the monitor 114. As shown in Figure 28, when the monitor 114 is displaying the inventory management common screen P2, the display control unit 102b displays the inventory entry screen P1 on the monitor 114 when the operator registers the quantity of consignor inventory by operating the enter key or the like via the input device 112.

[0109] In the case shown in Figure 28, the receiving input processing unit 102c inputs "15," which is the sum (aggregated) value of the number of incoming goods in the consignor inventory information table K2 on the inventory management common screen P2, into the number of goods and the quantity of incoming goods linked to the storage ledger number "H20221201" in the receiving input information table K1 and displays them.

[0110] Furthermore, the receiving input processing unit 102c inputs and displays the value "45," which is obtained by multiplying the number of packages "15" by the unit weight "3," in the weight (KGS) field of the receiving input information table K1.

[0111] Furthermore, when an operator performs a registration operation via the input device 112, the receiving input processing unit 102c generates receiving data 106b, receiving detail data 106c, consignor inventory data 106d, consignor inventory receiving detail data 106f, and physical inventory receiving detail data 106g based on the display contents of the receiving input information table K1, stores them in the storage unit 106, and updates the value of the physical inventory data 106e.

[0112] Figure 29 shows an example of a goods receipt data table for goods receipt data 106b. Figure 30 shows an example of a goods receipt detail data table for goods receipt detail data 106c. Figure 31 shows an example of a shipper inventory data table for shipper inventory data 106d. Figure 32 shows an example of a physical inventory data table for physical inventory data 106e. Figure 33 shows an example of a shipper inventory goods receipt detail data table for shipper inventory goods receipt detail data 106f. Figure 34 shows an example of a physical inventory goods receipt detail data table for physical inventory goods receipt detail data 106g.

[0113] As shown in Figures 29 to 34, the receiving input processing unit 102c generates the receiving data table T31, the receiving details data table T32, the consignor inventory data table T33, the consignor inventory receiving details data table T35, and the physical inventory receiving details data table T36, and stores them in the storage unit 106, and updates the numerical value in the physical inventory data table T34.

[0114] In this case, as shown in the physical inventory data table T34 in Figure 32, the incoming quantities of "20" and "10" in the physical inventory data table T13 in Figure 23 are updated to "29" and "16", respectively, which are the sum of the incoming quantities of "9" and "6" in the consignor inventory data table T33, and the incoming weights are updated to "87" and "48".

[0115] Figure 35 shows another example of the outbound shipment input (common inventory management screen) displayed on monitor 114.

[0116] As shown in Figure 35, the outbound input processing unit 102d, in response to the operator's operation of the input device 112 on the consignor inventory information table K5 displayed on the monitor 114, enters "3" for the number of items to be outbound at the Tokyo warehouse, and when the Enter key or the like is pressed, it automatically enters, sets, and displays each quantity.

[0117] Figure 36 shows another example of the outbound shipment input (common inventory management screen) displayed on monitor 114 after registration.

[0118] As shown in Figure 36, when the outbound shipment input processing unit 102d inputs "3" for the number of shipments to be sent out from the Tokyo warehouse, and the operator presses the Enter key on the input device 112, it automatically subtracts "3" from the "15" for both the number of shipments and the total number of inventory in the Tokyo warehouse in the consignor inventory information table K5, and inputs and displays "12" for both the remaining number of shipments and the total number of inventory.

[0119] Furthermore, the outbound shipment input processing unit 102d inputs "3" into both the number of shipments and the total number of shipments from the Tokyo warehouse in the physical inventory information table K6, and displays this information in real time.

[0120] Furthermore, the outbound input processing unit 102d also reflects and displays the balance of the Tokyo warehouse in the physical inventory information table K6 in real time. Specifically, the outbound input processing unit 102d automatically subtracts "3" from the "20" for both the number of items and the total quantity in the Tokyo warehouse inventory in the physical inventory information table K6, inputting "17" for both the number of items and the total quantity in the balance, and reflecting and displaying it in real time.

[0121] This allows the operator to verify in real time whether the quantities of goods issued in the consignor's inventory and the actual inventory match. Subsequently, when the operator registers the shipment of consignor inventory by operating the enter key or the like via the input device 112, the display control unit 102b displays the shipment input screen P3 on the monitor 114, as described above. After that, when the operator performs an operation to end the consignor's inventory management via the input device 112, the inventory management device 100 terminates this process.

[0122] According to the embodiment described above, the receiving input processing unit 102c, in response to the input operation of the lot number and the number of goods received for each warehouse in the consignor inventory information table K2 of the receiving input (common inventory management screen) P2, reflects the number of goods received for each warehouse in the physical inventory information table K3 and inputs and displays it in the physical inventory information table K3. As a result, the operator can check in real time whether the quantities of consignor inventory and physical inventory match, and can efficiently manage inventory for each consignor and each physical item.

[0123] Furthermore, according to the embodiment, the receiving input processing unit 102c reflects the aggregated number of incoming goods for each warehouse in the consignor inventory information table K2, inputs it into the physical inventory information table K3, and displays it, thereby facilitating inventory management by product for inventory counting purposes, as well as inventory reporting and receiving management for each consignor.

[0124] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, when the operator returns to the inbound input screen P1, the inbound input processing unit 102c displays the aggregated number of incoming shipments for each product in the consignor inventory information table K2 by inputting and reflecting this value in the number of shipments and quantity received in the inbound input information table K1. This facilitates inventory management by product for inventory purposes, as well as inventory reporting and inbound management for each consignor.

[0125] Furthermore, according to the embodiment, the receiving input processing unit 102c displays the value obtained by multiplying the aggregated number of incoming goods for each product in the consignor inventory information table K2 by the unit weight associated with the storage ledger number, and reflecting this value in the weight in the receiving input information table K1. This makes it possible to easily manage inventory levels by product for inventory counting purposes, as well as inventory reporting and receiving management for each consignor.

[0126] Furthermore, the outbound input processing unit 102d, in response to the input operation of the lot number and the number of items for outbound shipments for each warehouse in the consignor inventory information table K5 on the outbound input (common inventory management screen) P4, reflects the number of items for outbound shipments for each warehouse in the physical inventory information table K6 and inputs and displays it in the physical inventory information table K6. This allows the operator to check in real time whether the quantities of consignor inventory and physical inventory for outbound shipments match, enabling efficient management of inventory for each consignor and physical item.

[0127] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the outbound input processing unit 102d reflects the aggregated number of outbound shipments for each warehouse in the consignor inventory information table K5 and inputs and displays this value in the physical inventory information table K6. This facilitates inventory management by product for inventory purposes, as well as inventory reporting and outbound management for each consignor.

[0128] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, when the operator returns to the receiving input screen P1, the outbound input processing unit 102d displays the aggregated number of outbound shipments for each product in the consignor inventory information table K5 by inputting and reflecting this value in the number of shipments and outbound quantity in the outbound input information table K4. This facilitates inventory management by product for inventory purposes, as well as inventory reporting and outbound management for each consignor.

[0129] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the outbound input processing unit 102d displays the value obtained by multiplying the aggregated number of outbound shipments for each product in the consignor inventory information table K5 by the unit weight associated with the storage ledger number, and reflecting this value in the weight in the outbound input information table K4. This makes it possible to easily manage inventory levels by product for inventory purposes, as well as inventory reporting and outbound management for each consignor.
