A terminal sends to a host computer CAD drawing data which contains basic
specifications of products ordered by a customer. The host computer
manages product catalog information including price information of
products for which orders can be accepted and customer planning
information in which planning information of each customer about detail
specifications of products has been registered, receives the CAD drawing
data sent from the terminal, extracts the basic specifications of the
ordered products from the CAD drawing data, searches the product catalog
information using the extracted basic specifications of the ordered
products and the customer planning information, creates quotation data
based on retrieved product catalog information, and sends the quotation
data to the terminal.
