Abstract

A system and a method for generating material inventory list are provided for allowing a user to input data of basic modules and various accessories of a required product based on a type of the product so as to generate a material inventory list of the product. The system includes a material inventory database for storing material basic data, basic module material data, accessory material data and product material data; a data input module for allowing the user to select the basic modules and accessories of the required product; a data access module for accessing corresponding material data stored in the material inventory database to generate the material inventory list of the product; and a report generating module for generating a material inventory report of the product. This can simplify procedures of generating a material inventory list and increase accuracy of the generated material inventory list.

Claims

1. A system for generating material inventory list, comprising:

a material inventory database for at least storing basic module material related data and accessory material related data;

a data input module for receiving data of basic modules and accessories of a required product; and

a data access module for reading corresponding data from the material inventory database according to the data of basic modules and accessories received by the data input module, so as to generate a material inventory list of the product.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the data access module is further for storing the material inventory list of the product into the material inventory database.

3. The system of claim 1, further comprising a report generating module for reading the material inventory list of the product from the material inventory database so as to generate a material inventory report of the product.

4. A method for generating material inventory list, comprising the steps of:

storing material related data of products at least having basic module material data and accessory material data into a material inventory database;

inputting data of basic modules and accessories of a required product via a user; and

retrieving corresponding material data of basic modules and accessories from the material inventory database according to the inputted data of basic modules and accessories so as to generate a material inventory list of the product.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising a step of storing the material inventory list of the product into the material inventory database.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising a step of reading the material inventory list of the product from the material inventory database to generate a material inventory report of the product.
