Abstract

PURPOSE:To save labor for work and to shorten time by effectively utilizing data by performing stocktaking work in a shop by operating a managing device in the shop while connecting a stock-taking terminal and the managing device in the shop with a communication line and using the stocktaking terminal. CONSTITUTION:When a merchandise arranging position is changed, merchandise arrangement information is inputted and read by a scanner 21, and the number of stocks is inputted. The inputted information is stored in a stocktaking information FA 11 and when the stocktaking information is completely inputted, the information is edited in a stocktaking terminal 10 and outputted by an output device A22 as a list. Next, the stocktaking terminal 10 and a managing device 20 in the shop are connected with a communication line 30 so as to perform editing based on the information of a stocktaking information FB 14 corresponding to a stocktaking information FA 12, to output a slip by an output device B24 and to update the data (the number of stocks and the merchandise arrangement information) of another file 15 in the managing device 20 in the shop by an update control part 25.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a single item inventory management system in a retail business, and more particularly to a store inventory system for inventory work.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional stocktaking operations of this type are carried out manually such as checking inventory, recording confirmed information, making calculations to obtain necessary information, and creating forms.

[0003]

Since the above-mentioned conventional stocktaking work is carried out manually, a record of the confirmed inventory, a work of calculating necessary information based on the obtained information, and a form are prepared. There is a drawback in that it takes a lot of time and labor to perform the work.

Further, since there is no function for taking in the information (the number of stocks and the product arrangement information) obtained by the stocktaking into the in-store management device, there is a drawback that such information cannot be effectively used after the stocktaking.

An object of the present invention is to take an inventory terminal device (hereinafter,
Connect the in-store management device and the in-store management device by communication,
By operating the in-store management device using the inventory terminal to perform inventory work in the store, the above-mentioned drawbacks are resolved, labor saving of work is achieved, time is shortened, and a store inventory method that effectively uses data is adopted. To provide.

[0006]

The store stocktaking system of the present invention is a stocktaking terminal device having a scanner input function, an inventory information input function, and a function of editing and outputting input information input by each input function, and editing / outputting. And a function of editing and outputting the information from the stocktaking terminal device sent by the communication means and an information updating function of updating the information of the file and the file storing the edited information. An in-store management device is provided.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a system using a store inventory method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, a system using the store inventory method of the present embodiment is a communication line that connects an inventory terminal 10 and an in-store management device 20 installed in a store backroom to mediate data communication. It is composed of 30 and.

Generally, if the communication line 30 is always connected, it is inconvenient to move within the store. Therefore, the in-store management device 20 uses the in-store inventory terminal 1 only when actually performing an inventory operation.
Connect with 0.

The inventory terminal 10 has label information FA11.
It has an inventory information FA12, an input terminal (scanner) 21 for inputting inventory information, an output device A22 for editing and outputting the information of the inventory information FA12, and a display device 23 for displaying the information.

The in-store management device 20 uses the label information FB1.
3, an inventory information FB14, an output device B24 for editing and outputting the information of the inventory information FB14, and an inventory information FB
The update control unit 25 updates the other file 15 in the in-store management device 20 based on the information of 14.

The communication line 30 has a function of mediating data communication between the stocktaking terminal 10 and the in-store management device 20.

Next, the operation of the store inventory method of this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart of operation processing of the store inventory method of this embodiment.

1 and 2, the label information FA11 required at the time of scanner input is communicated with the in-store management device 20 through the communication line 30 at the inventory terminal 10 to create the label information FB13 (step 3).
1).

When inputting the stocktaking information, first, the product arrangement information is input to the stocktaking terminal 10 (step 32),
When the bar code of the product at the arrangement position is read by the scanner 21 (step 33), the display device 23
The product name is displayed in (the product layout information is already displayed). Next, the stock quantity of the product is input (step 34). Without completing the data input (Step 35, N
o) If there is no change in the product placement position (step 36,
Yes), read by the scanner 21, repeat the input of the stock quantity, and if there is a change (step 36, No),
The product placement information is input, read by the scanner 21, and the stock quantity is input. The input information is accumulated in the inventory information FA11, and when all the inventory information input work is performed (step 35, Yes), the information is edited in the inventory terminal 10 (step 37) and the output device A2.
2 is output as a list (step 38).

Next, the inventory terminal 10 and the in-store management device 20
Are connected by the communication line 30 to perform communication (step 39), and the inventory information FB14 is created from the inventory information FA12. The in-store management device 20 edits based on the information of the inventory information FB14 (step 4
0), the output device B24 outputs the form (step 41), and the update control unit 25 updates the data (the number of stocks, product arrangement information) of the other file 15 in the in-store management device 20 (step 42). .

[0019]

As described above, according to the store inventory method of the present invention, the inventory terminal and the in-store management device are connected by communication, and the in-store management device is operated using the inventory terminal to perform in-store inventory work. By performing the above, the inventory information, the calculation to obtain the necessary information, and the creation of the form were performed manually, but if the scanning work and the input work of the inventory number product placement information are performed, The output of the form is automatically performed by the computer, and the data in the file in the in-store management device is also updated. Therefore, there is an effect that the work can be saved, the time can be shortened, and the data can be effectively used.
