Abstract
Upon receipt of an article in a warehouse, an article code put on the article and a location code put on a shelf loading the article are stored as management data through scanning. In addition, as the management data are stored, a manufacturing date, a lot number related to the article and the number of a pallet used for moving the article. Consequently, using those data, the host computer carries out a variety of warehouse management tasks, which enables first-in and first-out warehouse management and accurate shipping management using a terminal connected to the host computer, thus reducing use of paper such as an article slip and/or an article order.
