Description

The invention relates to a technology for automated accounting of the movement of goods and can be used in storage systems, including for network trading enterprises.

A well-known electronic network system for automated accounting and presentation of information on the availability and movement of goods at the place of storage and their selection for sale, containing the enterprise network itself, consisting of a network server, in the memory of which a central database is stored, with a monitor and keyboard, the required number of stationary network jobs of various subsystems with their own monitors, keyboards, printers, scanners, network equipment, as well as the necessary number of mobile jobs (US Pat. US No. 6339764 dated January 15, 2002, IPC G06F 015/24). The disadvantage of the system is the difficulty in operation.

There is also a method of automated accounting and reporting of information on the availability and movement of goods at the place of storage and their selection for implementation (RF patent 2308083, IPC: G06Q 10/00, 07/07/2003). Information about commodity operations at the place of storage is supplied to an automated accounting system by entering information from the primary storage medium of information about this commodity operation by scanning or using the keyboard to create an electronic document. Information is stored in the memory of the network server in the form of a central database of a network automated accounting and management system with a storage subsystem. Information on the availability of goods at the storage location is obtained by identifying it by the barcode read by the scanner of the mobile workplace of the warehouse subsystem of the enterprise network, then compared with the electronic database of barcodes of goods presented for sale and stored in the network server memory. Information about the goods operation that needs to be carried out is obtained at the warehouse from a networked automated accounting and management system, which is supplemented after the goods operation is completed, and then this information is recorded in a central database. The disadvantage of this method is the low efficiency in processing incoming goods from various suppliers and sending the received goods in the required assortment to the enterprises of the distribution network.

The technical result of the invention is the creation of a unified system that minimizes the processing time and accounting of goods arriving at the warehouse and shipped from the warehouse.

The technical result is achieved as follows.

A method for automated accounting of the movement of goods of a network enterprise, in accordance with which an electronic network system is used, including a server connected to goods accounting devices at retail outlets of the network enterprise. Information on commodity operations in the place of their storage and distribution is carried out by transmitting information on the received goods to the server. First, the supplier’s identification codes are entered from the information carrier of each received goods, their identification is made by finding the product information corresponding to the code in the electronic database of goods of suppliers. Then, the product identification code of the network enterprise product is determined. Identification codes are applied to the storage medium of each product. Based on the information received from the metering devices of the goods of the outlets, a list of goods intended for sending to the outlet of the network enterprise for its implementation is formed. If the goods are available at retail outlets, the goods are left in temporary storage. After each commodity operation, the content of the accounting system is supplemented by an appropriate record.

Identification codes are usually barcodes. An electronic database of barcodes is formed on the basis of barcodes of goods of suppliers.

If the supplier’s identification code does not match in the electronic database of suppliers ’products, the search is performed using a number of characters, with the exception of the last one. And if there is no correspondence of the identification code of the supplier, the first character of which is “0”, in the electronic database of the goods of suppliers, the search is carried out for a number of characters, with the exception of the first.

The implementation of the method of automated accounting of goods at the place of storage and selection for implementation is as follows.

Information on the supply of goods is uploaded to the server of the electronic network system of the enterprise at least one day before the receipt of the goods. Information includes an indication of:

- product group

- a barcode or other identifier of the supplier’s product,

- product characteristics (size, color).

Then, the incoming goods are identified by finding the product information corresponding to the code in the electronic database of the enterprise. After its identification, the product is assigned an internal code (product identification code of the network enterprise), which is applied to the storage medium of each product and entered into the server database.

With a certain periodicity, data on the balances of goods in all stores are received on the server from product accounting devices at retail outlets of the network enterprise.

Based on the matrix of goods of each store and the established planned percentage of “coverage of demand”, the requirement for the delivery of goods to each network enterprise is automatically calculated and a request for delivery is generated.

In the event that the calculated requirement for the supply of goods to a specific network enterprise (store) on the basis of the incoming goods:

- fully cover the need for the supply of goods to network enterprises, then additional operations are not carried out;

- does not completely cover the need for deliveries of goods to network enterprises, then the goods available in the warehouse are analyzed, and if there is a missing product, a list of these goods is automatically generated and information is adjusted in relation to the list of goods in the warehouse.

- if previous operations cannot fully cover the need for a product for deliveries to network enterprises, then the planned quantity of goods in deliveries for each network enterprise is automatically recalculated. Recalculation is carried out according to the set priorities for the distribution of goods.

Each operation performed is entered into the information array on the server.

If there is no identification information regarding the goods received, the processing of the goods received is made taking into account the quantities of goods and groups of goods.

The server performs sequential processing of information about the received goods, taking into account the proposed identification options:

- product group

- size (for each product group, reference books of dimensional series of several countries have been opened, the size indicated on the product label is selected),

- color (selection from the color guide accepted by the company).

The product is automatically assigned an internal code.

If this is the first item in the delivery, then the code is new,

If a product with the same criteria has already been selected, then an already created product code is assigned.
