Summary

The application relates to a method of managing inventory. More specifically it relates to how data representing on-hand inventory at any point in a supply chain is stored in a series of nested buckets. This provides data at various levels of detail down to individual day/quantity pairs. Structuring the data in this way provides improvements in how the inventory is managed.

The Hearing Officer found the invention to be excluded both as a method of doing business and as a computer program as such. The application was refused.
