[1. Overview]
First, I will explain the outline of the present invention.

In the retail industry, there is the task of operating stores and ordering goods at each store.

Previously, when ordering goods at each store, the products handled varied from store to store, and even for the same product, suppliers and costs could differ depending on the store location. However, this was not controlled by a system. As a result, it was sometimes possible to incorrectly account for products that were not actually carried, leading to rework such as repeated communication between store managers and headquarters, or resulting in losses due to ordering products that were not actually stocked.

Thus, traditionally, there was no system control over the products handled, and the actual suppliers were determined for each store. Therefore, even for the same product, different stores sourced from different manufacturers. In particular, the supplier often varied by region, and there were cases where sourcing from a manufacturer with a factory near the store was cheaper.

Therefore, this embodiment provides a mechanism to control the system so that orders are recorded using the supplier appropriate for the store when they are entered into a store order.

[2. Structure]
An example of the configuration of the store-specific product management device 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 1. Figure 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the store-specific product management device 100 in this embodiment.

As shown in Figure 1, the store-specific product management device 100 is a commercially available desktop personal computer. However, the store-specific product 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 personal computer, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), smartphone, or tablet personal computer.

The store-specific product 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 store-specific product management device 100 is connected via an arbitrary communication path for communication.

The communication interface unit 104 connects the store-specific product 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 via the communication line. Here, the network 300 has the function of connecting the store-specific product management device 100 and the server 200 in a manner that enables mutual communication, and is, for example, the internet or a LAN (Local Area Network).

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 touch panel), a speaker, or a printer. The input device 112 can be a keyboard, mouse, microphone, or a monitor that works in conjunction with a mouse to provide pointing device functionality. In the following description, the output device 114 may be referred to as the monitor 114 or printer 114, and the input device 112 as the keyboard 112 or mouse 112.

The storage unit 106 stores various databases, tables, and files. The storage unit 106 also stores computer programs that cooperate with the OS (Operating System) to issue commands to the CPU (Central Processing Unit) for various processing tasks. The storage unit 106 can utilize, 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. The storage unit 106 includes a store product master 106a, a store master 106b, a product master 106c, a store operator control master 106d, and a product management database 106e.

The store-specific product master 106a is a master database that links products, stores, and suppliers. Here, the store-specific product master 106a may also include the validity period (revision date), product, store, supplier, and purchase price. Furthermore, the store-specific product master 106a may also include the region where the store is located.

Here, with reference to Figure 2, an example of the store product-specific master 106a in this embodiment will be described. Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of the store product-specific master 106a in this embodiment.

As shown in Figure 2, in this embodiment, the store product master 106a has the revision date, product code, district code, store code, supplier, and purchase unit price linked and set.

Returning to Figure 1, the store master 106b is the master data for which stores are configured. Here, the store master 106b may also be configured with the store and the district in which the store is located linked.

Here, with reference to Figure 3, an example of the store master 106b in this embodiment will be described. Figure 3 is a diagram showing an example of the store master 106b in this embodiment.

As shown in Figure 3, in this embodiment, the store master 106b has the store code, store name, and district code linked and set together.

Returning to Figure 1, product master 106c is the master data where the products are defined. Here, product master 106c may also have the products and major suppliers linked together.

Here, with reference to Figure 4, an example of the product master 106c in this embodiment will be described. Figure 4 is a diagram showing an example of the product master 106c in this embodiment.

As shown in Figure 4, in the product master 106c of this embodiment, the product code, product name, JAN code, store order category, and main supplier code are linked and set.

Returning to Figure 1, the store operator-specific control master 106d is a master that sets the cost display category, indicating whether or not to display order unit price/amount data on the screen. Here, the store operator-specific control master 106d may also have user, store, and cost display category linked together.

Here, with reference to Figure 5, an example of the store operator-specific control master 106d in this embodiment will be described. Figure 5 is a diagram showing an example of the store operator-specific control master 106d in this embodiment.

As shown in Figure 5, in the store operator-specific control master 106d of this embodiment, the user ID, user name, store code, store name, and cost display category are linked and set accordingly.

Returning to Figure 1, the product management database 106e stores product management data. Here, product management data may include store order input data, master setting requests, purchase data, sales data, and/or order data, etc.

The control unit 102 is a CPU or similar component that comprehensively controls the store-specific product management device 100. The control unit 102 has internal memory for storing control programs such as the OS, programs defining various processing procedures, and required data. It performs various information processing based on these stored programs. Functionally, the control unit 102 comprises a store order input acquisition unit 102a, a store product determination unit 102b, a supplier setting unit 102c, an unchangeable unit 102d, and an order registration unit 102e.

The store order input acquisition unit 102a acquires store order input data that is set by linking the ordering store, ordered product, and order date. Alternatively, the store order input acquisition unit 102a may acquire store order input data that is set by linking the ordering store, inputting staff, ordered product, ordered quantity, and order date.

The store product determination unit 102b determines whether the supplier corresponding to the store order input data is set in the store product master 106a. Here, the store product determination unit 102b may also determine whether the ordered product linked to the area where the ordering store is located is set in the store product master 106a.

The supplier setting unit 102c sets the supplier. Here, the supplier setting unit 102c may execute an alternative supplier setting process. Also, if the store product determination unit 102b determines that the supplier is not set in the store product master 106a, the supplier setting unit 102c may execute an alternative supplier setting process to send a master setting (registration) request. Also, if the store product determination unit 102b determines that the supplier is not set in the store product master 106a, the supplier setting unit 102c may execute an alternative supplier setting process to identify the supplier set in the store product master 106a in association with the area where the ordering store is located and the ordered product, as the ordering supplier. Furthermore, if the supplier setting unit 102c determines that the supplier is not set in the store product master 106a by the store product determination unit 102b, it may execute an alternative supplier setting process to identify a major supplier set in the product master 106c linked to the ordered product as the ordered supplier. Also, if the supplier setting unit 102c determines that the supplier is not set in the store product master 106a by the store product determination unit 102b, and also determines that the ordered product linked to the district where the ordering store is located is not set in the store product master 106a by the store product determination unit 102b, it may execute an alternative supplier setting process to identify a major supplier set in the product master 106c linked to the ordered product as the ordered supplier. Furthermore, if the supplier setting unit 102c determines that the supplier is set in the store product master 106a by the store product determination unit 102b, it may identify that supplier as the ordered supplier. Furthermore, if the supplier setting unit 102c determines that the supplier is not set in the store product master 106a, it may output a master unregistered error.

The unchangeable section 102d controls the ordering supplier to be unchangeable. Here, the unchangeable section 102d may also lock the supplier (for example, making it unchangeable).

The order registration unit 102e registers order data for the ordering supplier of the ordered goods.

[3. Specific Examples]
A specific example of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 6 to 10.

[Store-specific product management processing]
Now, with reference to Figure 6, an example of the store-specific product management process in this embodiment will be described. Figure 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing of the store-specific product management device 100 in this embodiment.

As shown in Figure 6, when the store order input acquisition unit 102a receives the store order input data linked to the store, the input staff member (the user), the ordered items, the ordered quantities, and the order date via the input device 112 on the store order input screen (Step SA-1).

Then, the store product determination unit 102b determines whether the supplier corresponding to the store order input data is set in the store product master 106a (step SA-2).

Then, if the store product determination unit 102b determines that the supplier corresponding to the store order input data is not set in the store product master 106a (step SA-2: No), it proceeds to step SA-3.

Then, the supplier setting unit 102c executes the alternative supplier setting process (step SA-3) and terminates the process.

On the other hand, if the store product determination unit 102b determines that the supplier corresponding to the store order input data is set in the store product master 106a (step SA-2: Yes), it proceeds to step SA-4.

Then, the supplier setting unit 102c identifies the supplier set in the store product master 106a corresponding to the store order input data as the ordering supplier (step SA-4).

Then, the non-changeable section 102d controls the ordering supplier to be unchangeable (step SA-5).

Then, the order registration unit 102e registers the order data for the ordered goods to the supplier in the product management database 106e (step SA-6), and terminates the process.

Here, with reference to Figure 7, an example of the store-specific product management process in this embodiment will be described. Figure 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the store-specific product management process in this embodiment.

As shown in Figure 7, in this embodiment, when a user enters the ordering store, product code, JAN code, or reads a detailed file (store order input) on the store order input screen (step SB-1), the store product master 106a is checked (step SB-2).

As shown in Figure 7, in this embodiment, if the supplier corresponding to the store order input is not registered in the store product master 106a (step SB-2: not registered), a master unregistered error is output (step SB-3), a master registration request is sent to the head office (server), the master setting process is executed at the head office (step SB-4), and the process proceeds to step SB-2.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 7, in this embodiment, if a supplier corresponding to the store order input is registered in the store product master 106a (step SB-2: registered), the supplier code of the supplier corresponding to the store order input set in the store product master 106a is set on the store order input screen (step SB-5), the supplier code is locked to prevent modification (step SB-6), and the order data for the ordered product to which the supplier code is set is registered (step SB-7). Thus, in this embodiment, when a store order is input, the existence of the store product master 106a is checked, and then the data is set and locked on the store order input screen.

Furthermore, an example of the store-specific product management process in this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 2 to 4 and Figure 8. Figure 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the store-specific product management process in this embodiment.

As shown in Figure 8, in this embodiment, when the user enters the ordering store and product code (SHOU0049100) on the store order input screen (step SC-1), the store product master 106a (store) is checked (step SC-2).

Then, as shown in Figure 8, in this embodiment, if the ordering store and the supplier corresponding to the ordered product are registered in the store product master 106a (step SC-2: registered), the supplier code of the ordering store (for example, "100001: Ginza Main Store" shown in Figure 2) and the supplier corresponding to the ordered product (for example, "S00003 (period from 2022/2/1 to 2022/3/31)" and "S00004 (from 2022/4/1 onwards)" shown in Figure 2) is set on the store order input screen (step SC-3), the supplier code is locked to prevent modification (step SC-4), and the order data for the ordered product to which the supplier code is set is registered (step SC-5).

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 8, in this embodiment, if the ordering store and the supplier corresponding to the ordered product are not registered in the store product master 106a (step SC-2: not registered), the store product master 106a (region) is checked (step SC-6).

Then, as shown in Figure 8, in this embodiment, if the store area where the ordering store is located and the supplier corresponding to the ordered product are registered in the store product master 106a (step SC-6: registered), the ordering store set in the store area (Kanto) (for example, "100002: Akihabara Store" shown in Figure 3) and the supplier code of the supplier corresponding to the ordered product (for example, "S00001" shown in Figure 2) are set on the store order input screen (step SC-7), and the process proceeds to step SC-4.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 8, in this embodiment, if the supplier corresponding to the store area where the ordering store (for example, "400001: Umeda Store" shown in Figure 3) is located and the ordered product is not registered in the store product master 106a (step SC-6: not registered), the supplier code of the main supplier set in the product master 106c linked to the ordered product (for example, "S00005" shown in Figure 4) is set on the store order input screen (step SC-8), and the process moves to step SC-4. Thus, in this embodiment, it is possible to set suppliers on an area basis, and if there is no registration in the store product master 106a, the main supplier from the product master 106c is retrieved (when suppliers are not separated by store).

Furthermore, an example of the store order input process in this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 9. Figure 9 is a diagram showing an example of the store order input process in this embodiment.

As shown in Figure 9, in this embodiment, when a new product is registered or a new store opens, the store-specific product master 106a is registered at the head office. In this embodiment, registration may also be performed from the product number master maintenance screen or by bulk importing from a file.

As shown in Figure 9, in this embodiment, when a product order is placed at a store, the store order input data is registered at the store. In this embodiment, since the supplier is automatically set based on the master data, inputting the supplier code is unnecessary; the supplier may be specified by product code or JAN code for the product data in the details.

Furthermore, an example of the supplier setting process in this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 10. Figure 10 is a diagram showing an example of the supplier setting process in this embodiment.

As shown in Figure 10, in this embodiment, when a store order is entered, the store product master 106a is referenced based on the store code and product code on the store order entry screen, and various items are set. Here, since the store product master 106a in this embodiment is a master managed by revision date, records valid as of the order date on the store order entry screen are used. Furthermore, in this embodiment, if the product data in the details is specified by JAN code, the linked product code is obtained from the product master 106c, and then the store product master 106a is referenced. Also, in this embodiment, whether or not the order unit price and amount data are displayed on the store order entry screen may be configurable in the store operator control master 106d.
