METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RETURNING COMMODITY TO BE KEPT IN SHOP

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a method and a system for returning a commodity to be kept in a shop, which eliminate commodities left in the shop. SOLUTION: A file 31 accompanied with 'the commodity reception date' when a customer should come to receive a commodity is transmitted from a host computer 11, and a store computer 21 installed in the shop receives the file 31, and the commodity is delivered to the customer on the basis of contents of the file 31. A data update means 41 of the store computer 21 adds 'the number of days allowed for delivery to the customer' to 'the commodity reception date' to determine 'the limit date' and updates data of the file 31. A data display means 42 displays data of the file 31, which has passed 'the limit date' on the screen of the store computer 21. By this system constitution, return management of the commodity which has passed 'the limit date' is facilitated. Thus an employee in the shop is prevented from being kept unaware of commodities to be kept in the shop.
