Abstract

In a business system that provides information about a report to a mobile communication terminal, a processing load required for a data search is reduced, and valid information is rapidly output. A mobile terminal management server run by enterprise resource planning receives and accepts a designated search condition from the mobile terminal, searches for process data including an item related to inventory management of a product represented by the accepted search condition with reference to process flow data stored in a process flow data table, generates quantity data representing a quantity related to an inventory of a product based on the searched process data, generates inventory-related data including the generated quantity data, generates inventory management information including inventory transition of the product represented by the designated search condition based on the inventory-related data, and provides the generated inventory management information to the mobile terminal.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal management server that is a server run by enterprise resource planning (ERP) and provides various kinds of data via a communication network according to a request from a mobile terminal used by a user, comprising:

a process flow data storage unit that stores process flow data including various kinds of data related to a process flow including a plurality of business processes,

the process flow data including status data, common data, and process-specific data,

the status data representing progress statuses of the plurality of business processes included in the process flow,

the common data being common to business processes included in the same process flow,

the process-specific data being specific to each business process included in the same process flow;

a condition designation screen providing unit that provides a condition designation screen used to designate a search condition according to a request from the mobile terminal;

a search condition accepting unit that receives and accepts the search condition designated through the condition designation screen from the mobile terminal;

a process data search unit that searches for process data including an item related to inventory management of a product represented by the search condition accepted by the search condition accepting unit with reference to the process flow data stored in the process flow data storage unit;

an inventory-related data generating unit that generates quantity data representing a quantity related to an inventory of a product based on the process data searched by the process data search unit, and generates inventory-related data including the generated quantity data;

an inventory management information generating unit that generates inventory management information including inventory transition of the product represented by the designated search condition based on the inventory-related data; and

an inventory management information providing unit that provides the inventory management information generated by the inventory management information generating unit to the mobile terminal.

2. The mobile terminal management server according to claim 1,

wherein the process data search unit searches for process data including items of a received order, a purchase order, a manufacturing warehousing schedule, a manufacturing delivery schedule, warehousing, delivery, item goods, a required date, and a quantity.

3. The mobile terminal management server according to claim 2,

wherein the quantity data includes a scheduled warehousing quantity, a scheduled delivery quantity, an actual warehousing quantity, and an actual delivery quantity.

4. The mobile terminal management server according to claim 3,

wherein the inventory management information includes item goods, a required date, a scheduled warehousing quantity, a scheduled delivery quantity, an actual warehousing quantity, an actual delivery quantity, and inventory transition.

5. A mobile terminal management program that operates enterprise resource planning (ERP) and causes a mobile terminal management server to execute a process of providing various kinds of data via a communication network according to a request from a mobile terminal used by a user,

the mobile terminal management server including a process flow data storage unit that stores process flow data including various kinds of data related to a process flow including a plurality of business processes,

the process flow data including status data, common data, and process-specific data,

the status data representing progress statuses of the plurality of business processes included in the process flow,

the common data being common to business processes included in the same process flow,

the process-specific data being specific to each business process included in the same process flow,

the mobile terminal management program causing the mobile terminal management server to execute:

a condition designation screen providing process of providing a condition designation screen used to designate a search condition according to a request from the mobile terminal;

a search condition accepting process of receiving and accepting the search condition designated through the condition designation screen from the mobile terminal;

a process data search process of searching for process data including an item related to inventory management of a product represented by the search condition accepted in the search condition accepting process with reference to the process flow data stored in the process flow data storage unit;

an inventory-related data generating process of generating quantity data representing a quantity related to an inventory of a product based on the process data searched in the process data search process and generating inventory-related data including the generated quantity data;

an inventory management information generating process of generating inventory management information including inventory transition of the product represented by the designated search condition based on the inventory-related data; and

an inventory management information providing process of providing the inventory management information generated in the inventory management information generating process to the mobile terminal.
