DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of the order management system according to the embodiment. In this figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an order management server;
... are supplier terminals (for example, personal computers) provided on the supplier (material maker) side;
Is a demander terminal provided on the demander (material purchaser) side, these server 1, supplier terminal 2, demander terminal 3
Are interconnected via the Internet 4. The number of the supplier terminals 2 and the number of the consumer terminals 3 may be one or more, and the configuration is not limited to the configuration illustrated in FIG.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the server 1. In this figure, 11 is a CPU (Central Processing Unit), 12 is a ROM (Read Only Memory) storing programs used in the CPU 11, 13 is a RAM (Random Access Memory) for temporarily storing data,
A communication device 14 connects the server 1 to the Internet 4. Reference numeral 15 denotes a large-capacity storage device such as a hard disk, which includes an inventory DB (database) 15a and an authentication DB 15b.
Are respectively stored. The CPU 11 stores data input from the supplier terminal 2 or the consumer terminal 3 via the Internet 4 and the communication device 14 in the inventory D of the storage device 15.
B15a, and reads data from the inventory DB 15a of the server 1 based on an instruction input from the supplier terminal 2 or the consumer terminal 3 via the Internet 4 and the communication device 14, and reads the data via the communication device 14 and the Internet 4. Output to the supplier terminal 2 or the consumer terminal 3.

Next, the operation of the above-mentioned order management system will be described with reference to FIGS. When a consumer or a supplier uses this system, first, the consumer terminal 3 or the supplier terminal 2 is connected to the Internet 4 and accesses a Web page of the server 1. The process of the server 1 first proceeds to step Sa1 in FIG. 3, and outputs an authentication screen (see FIG. 4) to the consumer terminal 3 and the supplier terminal 2.
Here, when the consumer or the supplier inputs the authentication ID and the password (step Sa2), the server 1 stores the input authentication ID and the password in the authentication DB 1 of the storage device 15.
The authentication ID and the password registered in advance in 5b are collated (step Sa3). Then, if the collation result is “O
If not "K", return to step Sa1 and prompt for re-input.
If "OK", that is, if the user or the supplier is permitted to use the system, step Sa4
Proceed to. By checking the authentication ID and the password, access by anyone other than the order management system subscriber becomes impossible. In step Sa4, the input authentication I
It is determined whether D is a consumer ID or not (supplier ID). If the ID is a consumer ID, the process proceeds to an ordering business management routine R1, and if the ID is a supplier, the process proceeds to an order receiving business management routine R2.

Next, the ordering work management routine R1 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. (1) When the process of the order server 1 proceeds to the order management process R1, first, a menu screen is output to the consumer terminal 3 (step S).
b1). FIG. 6 shows the output screen. Then, it waits for the input and selection of the consumer (step Sb2). here,
The consumer inputs a year, outputs a month, a factory name, and a product group by using pull-down buttons 11 to 13, and selects from the output menu. And order button 1
When you turn on 4 (Fig. 6) (click with the mouse),
Proceed to step Sb3. In step Sb3, the server 1
Reads the material stock data corresponding to the year, month, factory name and product group previously input by the consumer from the inventory DB 15a, and displays the order status screen shown in FIG. Output .

This screen displays material codes R24569, G
24569 indicates that the material has already been ordered, and that the material code G13357 has not been ordered. Also, on this screen, the numerical value in the upper row of “end of last month's stock quantity” indicates the stock quantity on the consumer side, and the numerical value below it indicates the stock quantity on the supplier side. Further, the “order quantity for the current month” is automatically calculated by the formula of the scheduled production quantity for the current month− (supplier's stock at the end of the previous month + customer's stock at the end of the previous month). When the case number conversion button 18 is pressed, for example, a volume, a meter,
A unit such as an individual is converted into the number of cases for packing. The case number conversion button 18 is required because the transaction system between the consumer and the supplier is different. For example, the consumer understands that the supplier has paid 100 meters. When the number-of-cases conversion button 18 is pressed in order to make the unit easier to handle, the number is converted to 500 cases. Note that the unit to be converted is not limited to the above, and any unit may be used as long as the unit can be easily understood by each of the consumer and the supplier. Further, the conversion unit may be specified by a demander or a supplier.

In this case, the demander has, for example, a material code G1.
When ordering a new material of 3357, the new data button 17 (FIG. 7) is pressed (step Sb4). When the new data button 17 is pressed, the server 1 outputs an order screen shown in FIG. 8 to the consumer terminal 3 (step Sb5).
The consumer inputs the planned production quantity (for example, 8000) in the column 19 of “current month production planned quantity” (step Sb).
6). Here, if the last month's end stock quantity is 0 according to the above formula, 8000 is entered in the column 20 of “current month order quantity”. In this order quantity, "0" is entered in the column 20a of the "end of the current month" column, so that the quantity in stock can be confirmed.

For example, if the stock quantity at the end of the previous month is 3000
, The difference 5000 is entered in the column 20 of “order quantity this month”. Next, the consumer outputs the material maker from the menu by the pull-down button 21 in FIG. 8, and selects the material maker from the output. Next, if there is an order to the supplier (material maker), comment column 2
2 and then the confirmation button 23 is turned on.
Thereby, the output of the consumer terminal 3 returns to the output of FIG.
In the column of the material code G13357, the planned production quantity of the current month = 8
000 The order quantity = 5000 is entered this month,
Also, a comment is entered in the comment field. Although the order quantity is specified so that the “end of the month” is 0, the order quantity can be input or changed by the customer as appropriate.

When the customer wants to change or cancel the ordered material, he or she presses the change / cancel button in FIG. Now, when the consumer presses, for example, the change / cancel button 24 (step Sb7), a change / cancel screen shown in FIG. 9 is output (step Sb8). On this screen,
When the column 25 of “Scheduled production quantity of this month” is changed, the column 26 of “Order quantity of this month” is automatically changed. Then, when the confirm button 27 is pressed, the output returns to FIG. 7, and the changed order state is output. In FIG. 9, when the order cancel button 28 is pressed, the column 25 of “this month scheduled production quantity” is changed so that the column 26 of “this month order quantity” becomes 0, and FIG.
Return to the output of It should be noted that the fact that there has been a change or cancellation may be easily distinguished by changing the color of the row of the material that has been changed or canceled and outputting it differently. Also, confirm that the order has been placed at the material manufacturer,
The confirmation date is input, and the order data is locked (temporary write prohibition) so that the consumer cannot change or cancel the order. As a result, it is possible to prevent troubles that occur when placing an order for a consumer or receiving an order for a supplier. The troubles include, for example, the customer's “ordered stack” and the supplier's “order confirmation error”.

When the data input for the new order or the change / cancellation (Step Sb6) is completed and the customer closes the order screen of FIG. 7, the server 1 writes the input data into the inventory DB 15a (Step Sb6). Sb9). Next, an e-mail notifying that data has been input is sent to the supplier terminal 2 (step Sb10). After writing, simple contents such as ordering material and quantity, ordering date, etc., which can be used to identify the orderer and material name, are stored in the authentication DB in advance.
When registering to 15b etc. by business (consumer, material, supplier)
The e-mail address is registered at the same time, and an e-mail is sent to the e-mail address when the above processing occurs. The e-mail address can be changed at any time. As a result, it is not necessary to constantly check the Web page, it is possible to check only the changed points, and the convenience is improved, and information can be actively transmitted regardless of the other party's convenience. .

When the confirm button 35 is pressed, the screen returns to the screen shown in FIG. 10, and the result input to the screen is output. Here, the unit of the delivery quantity is output in the unit used in FIG. The material confirmation button 48 in FIG. 10 is the same as that used in the previous order, and allows the user to visually (visually) confirm the material to be delivered.

When the change / cancel button 32 in FIG. 10 is turned on (step Sb15), a change / cancel screen (not shown) is output (step Sb16). On this screen, change of the delivery instruction is input (step Sb1).
4) Press the "OK" button to return to the screen of FIG.
The result input on the previous screen is output. Here, the changed delivery instruction is output under the delivery instruction before the change. Therefore, when there is a plurality of changes, the customer can understand the change process (history) on this screen. Also, the same changes and changes as in the screen of FIG.
A cancel button (not shown) is provided on the cancel screen (not shown). When this button is pressed, the screen returns to the scene of FIG. 10 and the result of the cancel is output. This cancellation output is output by changing (differently changing) the color indicating that the situation has been canceled in the delivery instruction column before cancellation.

When the data input of the new delivery instruction or the change / cancellation (Step Sb14) is completed and the customer closes the delivery instruction screen of FIG. 10, the server 1 writes the input data in the inventory DB 15a. (Step Sb
9) Then, an e-mail notifying that data has been input is sent to the supplier terminal 2 (step Sb10).
Note that the distribution of the e-mail is the same as that of the order, and the e-mail can be used to notify that the instruction has been actively given.

(3) Inventory Inquiry In the menu output of FIG. 6, when the customer inputs the year, month, factory name, and product group and turns on the inventory inquiry button 16, the processing of the server 1 proceeds to step Sb17. ,
The inventory inquiry screen shown in FIG. 12 is output to the consumer terminal 3 in the same manner as described above. With this screen, the consumer can check the current stock status of each material. The material confirmation button 48 in FIG. 12 is the same as that used at the time of previous ordering or delivery instruction, and allows the user to visually (visually) check the materials in stock.

Next, the order management routine R2 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. (1) Order Receipt When a new order is inputted in the above-described ordering process by the consumer, the fact that the order has been inputted is transmitted to the supplier terminal 2 by e-mail (see step Sb10 in FIG. 5). The supplier knows the input of the new order by this e-mail and accesses the Web page of the server 1. The server 1 sequentially executes steps Sa1 to Sa5 in FIG. 3 in the same manner as described above, and proceeds to the order receiving business management routine R2 since the input authentication ID is the ID of the supplier.

The processing of the server 1 is the order management processing R2 (FIG. 1).
When proceeding to 3), first, a menu screen is output to the supplier terminal 2 (step Sc1). FIG. 14 shows the output screen. Then, it waits for the input and selection of the supplier (step Sc2). Here, the supplier inputs the year, and then pulls down the month, the factory name, and the product group by pull-down buttons 11 to 1.
3 to output a menu, and select from the output menu. Then, when the order button 40 (FIG. 14) is turned on, the process proceeds to step Sc3. In step Sc3,
The server 1 reads from the stock DB 15a year and month input by the supplier, material stock data corresponding to the customer's factory name and product group, and supplies the order status screen shown in FIG. 15 based on the read data. To the user terminal 2.

The supplier looks at the order status screen, finds a material whose date is not output in the confirmation date column 44, checks the contents of the order, puts a check in the confirmation check column 45, The planned start date is entered in the start date column 46 (step Sc4). When the check box 45 is checked, the date checked is output to the check box 44, the order is fixed, and the customer cannot cancel or change the date. If the check is removed on the supplier side, the consumer can cancel or change. This is to prevent the supplier from being disadvantaged if the order is changed after confirmation.

Here, if there is a comment addressed to the consumer, a comment button 47 is pressed. When this button 47 is pressed, a comment entry window is output, and a comment can be input. Next, when the supplier closes the screen, the input confirmation date, the start date of the order, and the comment are registered in the stock DB 15a of the server 1 (step Sc5), and then an e-mail is transmitted to the consumer terminal 3. Is performed (Step Sc6). Upon receiving the e-mail, the consumer accesses the server 1 and opens the order status screen (FIG. 7), and confirms the confirmation date (material maker /
Confirmation date) and comments can be checked.
Note that the distribution of the e-mail is the same as in the case of ordering and the like, and the e-mail can actively inform the customer that the order has been received. The advantages of using e-mail are the same as those described above.
