[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0015] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0016] [1. Overview] For example, in a business involving physical distribution where a supplier (e.g., a manufacturer) ships products to a store and the products are received at the store, it is common practice to use intermediate warehouses to achieve efficient delivery. In such cases, operational rules often define "which warehouse the physical distribution will go through". Here, "warehouse" refers to a location for storing inventory, such as a store, head office, or central warehouse. Which warehouse the document entry operator should route through depends on the product classification and store classification, so the operation of manual judgment imposed a heavy work burden on personnel.

[0017] Accordingly, the present embodiment makes it possible to reduce the work burden in the case of shipping products from a supplier to a store using an intermediate warehouse.

[0018] Specifically, the intermediate warehouse setting device of the present embodiment uses an intermediate warehouse setting master to determine the intermediate warehouse based on combinations of parameters such as supplier, store classification, store business format, store trade name, and product type classification. In this case, when a plurality of intermediate warehouses are candidates, the intermediate warehouse is set according to the settings of a priority order setting master.

[0019] The intermediate warehouse setting device of the present invention is applicable to various industries such as food, chemical, distribution and retail, and BtoC. In the following example, the case where the supplier is a manufacturer will be described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the supplier may be a party other than a manufacturer.

[0020] [2. Configuration] Figure 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the transit warehouse setting device 100 according to this embodiment. In Figure 1, the transit warehouse setting device 100 is a commercially available desktop personal computer. Note that the transit warehouse setting device 100 is not limited to stationary information processing devices such as desktop personal computers, but may also be portable information processing devices such as commercially available notebook personal computers, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), smartphones, and tablet personal computers. The transit warehouse setting device 100 includes a control unit 102, a communication interface unit 104, a storage unit 106, and an input / output interface unit 108. Each part of the transit warehouse setting device 100 is connected to communicate via any communication path.

[0021] The communication interface unit 104 connects the transit warehouse setting 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 via a communication line. Here, the network 300 has the function of connecting the transit warehouse setting 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).

[0022] 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, mouse, microphone, or a monitor that works in conjunction with the mouse to provide pointing device functionality. Note that in the following, the output device 114 may be referred to as the monitor 114.

[0023] 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. The storage unit 106 can 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 also stores a priority setting master 106a, a store master 106b, a product master 106c, a transit warehouse setting master 106d, invoice information, transit warehouse information, etc. Figure 2 shows an example of the configuration of the priority setting master 106a. Figure 3 shows an example of the configuration of the store master 106b. Figure 4 shows an example of the configuration of the product master 106c. Figure 5 shows an example of the configuration of the transit warehouse setting master 106d.

[0024] The priority setting master 106a is a master that sets the priority order for setting up transit warehouses according to whether or not the supplier (supplier code and / or supplier name), store classification, store name, and product classification are set. As shown in Figure 2, it can be composed of tables etc. that register combinations of whether or not the supplier, store classification, store name, and product classification are set, and associate them with priority.

[0025] As shown in Figure 3, the store master 106b can consist of tables that register stores (store code and / or store name) in association with store classifications and store names.

[0026] As shown in Figure 4, the product master 106c can consist of tables that register products (product code and / or product name) and variety classifications in association.

[0027] The transit warehouse setting master 106d is a master used to determine the transit warehouse based on parameters such as supplier, store classification, store name, and product classification. As shown in Figure 5, it can be composed of tables that associate transit warehouses with suppliers, store classifications, store names, and product classifications.

[0028] The transit warehouse setting master 106d may be configured to set transit warehouses according to store classification and product classification for the same supplier. Alternatively, transit warehouses may be configured according to supplier, store classification, and store name. Alternatively, transit warehouses may be configured according to store classification and product classification.

[0029] The invoice information may include the invoice number, line number, supplier, receiving store, product, and quantity.

[0030] Intermediate warehouse information (also called "shipping request information") may include the invoice number, line number, supplier, receiving store, product, quantity, and intermediate warehouse.

[0031] Returning to Figure 1, the control unit 102 is a CPU or similar component that comprehensively controls the transit warehouse setting 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.

[0032] The control unit 102 can access the priority setting master 106a, store master 106b, product master 106c, transit warehouse setting master 106d, slip information, transit warehouse information, etc., which are stored in the storage unit 106, even if they are located elsewhere (for example, on the server 200).

[0033] Functionally, the control unit 102 comprises a master maintenance unit 102a, a shipping request input unit 102b, a transit warehouse setting unit 102c, and a screen display control unit 102d.

[0034] The master maintenance unit 102a is used to perform settings such as data input, addition, modification, and updating for the priority setting master 106a, store master 106b, product master 106c, and transit warehouse setting master 106d, for example, in response to operator operations on a master maintenance screen (not shown) displayed on the monitor 114.

[0035] The shipping request input unit 102b inputs slip information and stores it in the storage unit 106 in response to operations performed by the person in charge on a shipping request input screen (not shown) displayed on the monitor 114.

[0036] The transit warehouse setting unit 102c determines that a transit warehouse is to be used if it is a record in the transit warehouse setting master 106d that is linked to one or more of the following items in the invoice information: store classification obtained from store master 106b using supplier and receiving store as keys, store name, and product classification obtained from product master 106c using product as keys.

[0037] In this case, if there are multiple records in the associated transit warehouse setting master 106d, the transit warehouse setting unit 102c may refer to the priority setting master 106a for each record to obtain the priority and determine that the transit warehouse of the record with the lowest priority is the transit warehouse to use.

[0038] If the transit warehouse setting unit 102c determines which transit warehouse to use, it creates transit warehouse information (shipping request information) by adding the transit warehouse to be used to the document information and stores it in the storage unit 106.

[0039] The screen display control unit 102d controls the display of various screens (for example, the master maintenance screen, the shipping request input screen, etc.) displayed on the monitor 114, and the acceptance of their inputs.

[0040] [3. Specific examples of processing] Referring to Figures 1 to 9, a specific example of the processing of the control unit 102 of the transit warehouse setting device 100 in this embodiment will be described. Figures 6 to 9 are diagrams showing a specific example (sample data) of the processing of the control unit 102 of the transit warehouse setting device 100 in this embodiment. Referring to Figures 6 to 9, the transit warehouse discrimination image will be explained.

[0041] (STEP 1) Refer to Figure 6 to explain STEP 1. In STEP 1, data for each master used to determine the transit warehouse is set. The master maintenance unit 102a sets data for the priority setting master 106a, store master 106b, product master 106c, and transit warehouse setting master 106d, for example, in response to operator operations on a master maintenance screen (not shown) displayed on the monitor 114.

[0042] Figure 6(A) shows an example of data for the priority setting master 106a. The priority setting master 106a includes fields for supplier, store classification, store name, product classification (whether or not they are set), and priority. A smaller value for priority indicates a higher priority. For the supplier, store classification, store name, and product classification settings, a higher number of "yes" entries indicates a higher priority. For example, in the first row, if the supplier is "yes", the store classification is "yes", the store name is "yes", and the product classification is "yes", the priority is "1". In the second row, if the supplier is "no", the store classification is "yes", the store name is "yes", and the product classification is "yes", the priority is "2".

[0043] Figure 6(B) shows an example of data from store master 106b. Store master 106b includes fields for store, store classification, and store name. In the example shown in the figure, the first row contains store "0081", store classification "A: Mass retailer", and store name "3: Brand S", while the second row contains store "1087", store classification "A: Mass retailer", and store name "5: Brand B".

[0044] Figure 6(C) shows an example of data from product master 106c. Product master 106c includes fields for product and product category. In the example shown in the figure, the product is "S00001" and the product category is "141: Men's Suits".

[0045] Figure 6(D) shows an example of data for the transit warehouse setting master 106d. The transit warehouse setting master 106d includes fields for transit warehouse, supplier, store classification, store name, and product classification. "Store classification" is obtained from the store master 106b using the receiving store information in the invoice as the key. "Store type" is obtained from the store master 106b using the receiving store information in the invoice as the key. "Product classification" is obtained from the product master 106c using the product information in the invoice as the key.

[0046] Examples of settings for the transit warehouse setting master 106d include: (1) setting different transit warehouses depending on the store classification or product classification even for the same supplier; (2) setting transit warehouses according to the supplier (shipping manufacturer), store classification, store name; ...; (4) setting transit warehouses according to the store classification and product classification.

[0047] In the example shown in the figure, (1) as an example of setting different intermediate warehouses depending on the store classification or product classification even for the same supplier, the first row is: Intermediate warehouse "3", Supplier "0143", Store classification "A", Store name "-", Product classification "141", "241", "341", "941", "176", "276", "376", "976". Also, (4) as an example of setting intermediate warehouses according to the store classification and product classification, the eighth row is: Intermediate warehouse "1", Supplier "-", Store classification "A", Store name "-", Product classification "141".

[0048] (STEP 2) Refer to Figure 7 to explain STEP 2. In STEP 2, slip information is entered in the shipping request input. The shipping request input unit 102b inputs the slip information and stores it in the storage unit 106 in response to the operator's actions on, for example, the shipping request input screen (not shown) displayed on the monitor 114.

[0049] As shown in Figure 7, the invoice information includes the following fields: invoice number, line, supplier, receiving store, product, and quantity. In the example shown in the figure, the first line contains the invoice number "J001", line "1", supplier "0143", receiving store "0081", product "S00001", and quantity "1000".

[0050] (STEP 3) Refer to Figure 8 to explain STEP 2. In STEP 2, the store master 106b and product master 106c are referenced for the items of the entered slip information, and the corresponding records in the transit warehouse setting master 106d are retrieved.

[0051] The transit warehouse setting unit 102c determines that a transit warehouse is to be used if it is a record in the transit warehouse setting master 106d that is linked to one or more of the following items in the invoice information: store classification obtained from store master 106b using supplier and receiving store as keys, store name, and product classification obtained from product master 106c using product as keys.

[0052] In the following example, the first line of the invoice information in Figure 7 is used. Using the receiving store "0081" as the key, the store classification "A: Mass retailer" and the store name "3: Brand S" are retrieved from product master 106c. Using the product "S00001" as the key, the product classification "141: Men's suit" obtained from product master 106c is retrieved.

[0053] The system retrieves records from the transit warehouse settings master 106d that are associated with one or more of the following: supplier "0143", store classification "A: Mass retailer", store name "3: Brand S", and product classification "141: Men's suits". In this example, the system retrieves the first row record (transit warehouse "3", supplier "0143", store classification "A", store name "-", product classification "141") and the eighth row record (transit warehouse "1", supplier "-", store classification "A", store name "-", product classification "141") from the transit warehouse settings master 106d.

[0054] If only one record is applicable, set the transit warehouse for that record as the transit warehouse to use and generate the transit warehouse information. In this example, multiple records are applicable, so set the transit warehouse as follows.

[0055] (STEP 4) Refer to Figure 9 to explain STEP 4. In STEP 4, the priority of the transit warehouse setting master 106d is obtained based on the priority setting master 106a, and the transit warehouse of the record with the smallest priority value (highest priority) is set as the transit warehouse to be used.

[0056] If there are multiple records in the associated transit warehouse setting master 106d, the transit warehouse setting unit 102c refers to the priority setting master 106a for each record to obtain the priority and determines that the transit warehouse of the record with the lowest priority is the transit warehouse to use.

[0057] Figure 9(A) shows the record obtained from the transit warehouse setting master 106d (same as Figure 8). For this obtained record, the priority is obtained by referring to the priority setting master 106a. As shown in Figure 9(B), for the record of transit warehouse "3", the supplier is "0143", the store classification is "A", the store name is "-", and the product classification is "141", so the priority "3" is obtained from the priority setting master 106a using the keys "Supplier present", "Store classification present", "Store name absent", and "Product classification present".

[0058] Furthermore, for the record of transit warehouse "1", the supplier is "-", the store classification is "A", the store name is "-", and the product classification is "141". Using the keys "None", "Yes", "No", and "Yes", the priority "7" is obtained from the priority setting master 106a. Of these, transit warehouse "3", which has the lowest priority value of "3", is determined to be the transit warehouse to be used.

[0059] After determining which intermediate warehouse to use, intermediate warehouse information is generated. Figure 9(C) shows an example of the generated intermediate warehouse information (shipping request information) data. The intermediate warehouse information is the document information with the intermediate warehouse to be used added, and includes the fields for document number, line, supplier, receiving store, product, quantity, and intermediate warehouse. In the example shown in the figure, the first line is "J001" for document number, "1" for line, "0143" for supplier, "0081" for receiving store, "S00001" for product, "1000" for quantity, and "3" for intermediate warehouse. An order is placed with the supplier based on the intermediate warehouse information (shipping request information), and the goods are shipped from the supplier to each store via the intermediate warehouse.

[0060] As described above, according to this embodiment, the system includes a store master 106b that registers stores, store classifications, and store names in association; a product master 106c that registers products and product classifications in association; a transit warehouse setting master 106d that registers transit warehouses in association with one or more combinations of stores, store classifications, store names, and product classifications; a shipping request input unit 102b that inputs slip information including slip number, supplier, receiving store, product, and quantity; and a transit warehouse setting unit 102c that determines and sets a transit warehouse to be used based on the slip information, specifically the transit warehouse records in the transit warehouse setting master 106d that are linked to one or more of the store classifications obtained from the store master 106b using the supplier and receiving store as keys, and the product classifications obtained from the product master 106c using the product as keys. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the workload of the person in charge when shipping from a supplier to a store using a transit warehouse.
