Abstract:
1. An inventory filtering method for filtering inventory items offered for sale, comprising: obtaining, using a hardware application server comprising a computer, a primary list of item designations of restricted inventory items, from a primary logistics information database, based on codes of the restricted inventory items; generating, using the hardware application server, a first restriction requirement based on the item designations of the restricted inventory items of the primary list; obtaining, using the hardware application server, a second list of item designations of restricted inventory items from a second database; generating, using the hardware application server, a second restriction requirement based on the item designations of the restricted inventory items in the second list; generating, using the hardware application server, a combined restriction requirement based on any combination of the first restriction requirement and the second restriction requirement; obtaining, using the hardware application server, an inventory list of the item designations of the inventory items offered for sale; determining, using the hardware application server, a restricted item in the inventory list based on the item designation of the restricted item and the combined restriction requirement; and restricting, using the hardware application server, the sale of the restricted item.
