Description

Commodity object calling method and device

Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of commodity object allocation, in particular to a method and a device for allocating commodity objects.

Background

In some e-commerce trading platforms, a unified logistics management system is provided, which is commonly referred to as 4 PL. The 4PL means that the platform side purchases warehouse resources and delivery resources from a third-party warehousing and delivery service provider, or the platform side can construct its own warehouse resources and delivery resources and then can release such resource packaging services in the system. The merchant can customize warehouse resources and delivery resources provided by the platform according to own needs, and perform operations such as laying goods to the customized warehouse, and then when the buyer purchases the merchant's goods, the buyer can route the goods to the most matched warehouse and perform delivery service through the pre-ordered delivery resources.

For some sellers, the goods may need to be sold to many cities or regions, and in order to make the goods closer to the consumers, thereby improving the delivery speed of the goods and improving the experience of the consumers, the sellers generally lay the goods in a plurality of warehouses, and different warehouse divisions are stored in different warehouses. In practical applications, the number of pallets is a matter of consideration for each warehouse. This is because if the number of lots is too large, the turnover rate of the stock is affected, reducing the efficiency of the supply chain, and if it is too small, the stock cannot be purchased by the customer, wasting the sales opportunities, and causing loss. Therefore, the one-time shop quantity of each warehouse may not be too large, and as the specific sales act occurs, replenishment may be performed when the warehouse is in short stock. The replenishment usually takes many ways, one is to directly replenish the replenishment by the manufacturer or supplier, and the other is to transfer the replenishment from other warehouses. For example, a certain commodity is sold in a region covered by the warehouse A in a good amount, so that the inventory of the warehouse A may be insufficient, meanwhile, the commodity is also in surplus inventory in the warehouse B, a certain amount of inventory can be allocated from the warehouse B to the warehouse A, the sales requirement of the warehouse A is met, and meanwhile, the turnover rate of the warehouse is prevented from being influenced by long-time overstocked goods of the warehouse B.

However, in the prior art, the process of dialing usually requires that a seller manually generates a dialing list according to the sales condition of each warehouse. However, this approach has at least the following problems: a single merchant typically has multiple SKUs (Stock Keeping units) on the market at the same time, and if each SKU is manually transferred, the merchant is labor intensive and prone to errors. In addition, each warehouse generally has an order intercepting time, and no request is accepted any more later than the order intercepting time, so that the merchant is required to perform manual allocation operation before the order intercepting time of the warehouse, including generating an allocation order and then sending the allocation order to a warehouse system, and the like.

Therefore, how to more effectively realize allocation among warehouses is a technical problem to be solved by the technical personnel in the field.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments that can be derived from the embodiments given herein by a person of ordinary skill in the art are intended to be within the scope of the present disclosure.

In the embodiment of the application, the automatic allocation of the commodity object can be realized, that is, the allocation list is automatically generated by the system without being manually generated by the first user and is sent to the warehouse server before the time of allocating the warehouse list. Of course, there are some problems to be solved in specific implementations.

First, it may not be that each commodity object needs to be automatically dialed, so in this embodiment of the application, a configuration logic may also be provided for a first user (that is, a merchant or a seller user, etc.), the first user may configure some or all of the commodity objects issued by the first user as needing to be automatically dialed according to a requirement of the first user, and correspondingly, the server may record, so that only the commodity objects configured as needing to be automatically dialed by the first user may be automatically dialed. In addition, one commodity object may correspond to a plurality of warehouses, and for the warehouses, the first user may also select to conduct automatic allocation on part or all of the warehouses. For example, warehouse resources customized for a certain commodity object by a first user include warehouse resources a, warehouse resources B, warehouse resources C, and the like, and in the embodiment of the present application, automatic allocation may be selected only for warehouse resources a and warehouse resources B, and manual allocation may be selected for warehouse resources C.

Secondly, the period of automatic allocation is a problem to be considered, and if allocation is carried out every day, the manpower resources of warehouses, main lines and the like are wasted. The allocation may be performed in a specific period, for example, once per week, etc., in consideration of purchase cost, transportation cost, etc. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, for the dispatching warehouse, the dispatching cycle and the actual dispatching date for actually executing the dispatching operation may be set in advance. Wherein, one allocation cycle refers to the day before from one actual allocation day to the next actual allocation day. In particular implementations, the length of time for each dialing cycle may be the same, e.g., one cycle every five days, etc. Alternatively, the setting may be performed in combination with a manner of recording dates that are commonly used in daily life, for example, it may be set that tuesday and friday are actual dialing days, and the like, so that one dialing period may be three days or four days, and the like.

Thirdly, after the actual allocation day is allocated, the processes of ex-warehouse, transportation, warehousing and the like are generally needed, so that the actual date of arriving at the warehouse is delayed, that is, the inventory allocated on a certain actual allocation day is actually in order to meet the sales demand in a certain period of time in the future, and therefore, how to determine the allocation amount of the automatic allocation is also a problem to be considered. In the embodiment of the application, the allocation timeliness, that is, the time length from the allocation date to the allocation reaching date, can be determined according to the information such as the warehouse, the warehouse and the actually used distribution resources. After the dial aging is determined, it may be determined that the dial arrival day, for example, the dial aging is two days, if tuesday is the actual dial day, the dial arrival day is thursday, if friday is the actual dial day, the dial arrival day is sunday, and so on. Since the actual allocation is not performed every day, the inventory allocated on a certain actual allocation day is actually to satisfy the sales demand that the allocation to the next time starts on the arrival date of the current allocation and arrives on the day before the arrival date of the next allocation. That is, the allocation executed on tuesday will arrive at the warehouse on thursday, the next actual allocation day is friday, and the allocation of friday will arrive on sunday, so that after the allocation of tuesday arrives, no allocation stock will arrive on the next friday and saturday. Therefore, the adjustment of Tuesday needs to meet the sales demands of Thursday, Friday and Saturday; similarly, the allocation for friday is reached on sunday, and none of monday, tuesday, and wednesday of the next week is reached, so the allocation amount for friday is to satisfy the sales demand from sunday to wednesday, and so on. In a word, according to the actual allocation days, the allocation period and the allocation timeliness, the allocation amount of each actual allocation day can be determined so as to meet the sales demand of which time period in the future, and then, the allocation amount of each actual allocation day can be calculated by combining the sales amount prediction technology.

Fourthly, in the process of automatic allocation, as a plurality of warehouses related to one commodity object are possible, in principle, allocation of the inventory can be performed between any two warehouses, and therefore when the inventory of a certain warehouse is insufficient, the warehouse can be determined to be the best allocation warehouse according to technologies such as judgment of inventory quantity of other warehouses, prediction of sales volume and the like. In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, it is considered that in some logistics management systems, warehouse resources are generally graded, for example, in a "bird and vegetable logistics treasure" system of a panning and treasure system, 5 central warehouses and 22 regional sub-warehouses (referred to as "5-22 warehouses" for short) may be generally included, and when a first user customizes warehouse resources, the central warehouses and the regional sub-warehouses may be customized. In the case of a skid, the number of skids in the central warehouse is usually relatively large in relation to the individual regional sub-warehouses. Thus, in addition to the allocation operations that occur between regional sub-warehouses of equal levels, there is more allocation from the central warehouse to the regional sub-warehouses. In the embodiment of the present application, the automatic transfer operation may be limited to automatic transfer from the central warehouse to the regional sub-warehouse. That is, for a commodity object configured to be automatically allocated and a regional sub-warehouse, when automatic allocation is performed, allocation may be performed from the central warehouse to the regional sub-warehouse by default, which may make implementation logic simpler. Of course, there may be a plurality of central bins, and the specific central bin from which the call is made may be configured in advance by the first user.

In summary, in the embodiment of the present application, after the above problems are comprehensively considered, a specific commodity object automatic allocation scheme is provided. As described in detail below.

Example one

In the first embodiment, a method for allocating commodity objects is provided first, and referring to fig. 1, the method may include the following steps:

s101: determining commodity objects needing automatic allocation operation, and allocating the commodity objects into a warehouse and allocating the commodity objects out of the warehouse;

as described above, in the embodiment of the present application, the commodity object and the warehouse specified by the first user may be automatically allocated, and specifically, the commodity object configured to be automatically allocated by the first user and the corresponding warehouse may be marked, so that the commodity object that needs to be automatically allocated and the warehouse may be determined by the marking. The first user-specified warehouse is a call-in warehouse, and calculation can be performed through a certain algorithm with respect to a call-out warehouse, or the first user-specified warehouse can also be fixed as a specified central warehouse. For example, if the first user specifies a transfer scheme to be transferred from the central warehouse and the warehouse to be automatically transferred includes the regional sub-warehouse A, B, C, the warehouse a, the warehouse B, and the warehouse C of the commodity object may be automatically transferred, and specifically, when the automatic transfer is performed, the transfer is performed from the central warehouse to the warehouse a, the warehouse B, and the warehouse C.

Of course, in other implementation manners, all the commodity objects may be automatically allocated in the inventory of all the warehouses, or the commodity objects to be allocated may be determined according to the categories of the commodity objects, the inventory of the warehouses may be automatically allocated according to the sales conditions of the sales areas, and the like, which is not described herein again.

S102: determining the order intercepting time of the called warehouse, the actual allocation date for actually executing allocation operation, the allocation period and the allocation timeliness;

after the transfer warehouse is determined, the order intercepting time of the transfer warehouse, the actual transfer day for actually executing transfer operation, the transfer period and the transfer aging can be determined. These pieces of information may be set in advance, for example, may be set by the calling warehouse according to the capability thereof or the like, or may be set by the system in a unified manner. For example, the rollout warehouse may be a central warehouse with a cutting time of 16: 00, the actual allocation day for actually executing the allocation operation is two and five every week, so that the allocation period includes three days or four days, and the allocation timeliness is two days from the central warehouse to the currently determined allocation warehouse, and the like.

S103: determining a first allocation arrival date of a first allocation period according to the allocation aging on the first actual allocation date of the first allocation period, and determining the allocation amount on the first actual allocation date according to the target inventory on the first allocation arrival date and the estimated real-time inventory at the first allocation arrival date; wherein the target inventory of the first allocation arrival day is determined according to a first sales forecast total value of a second allocation arrival day previous to a second allocation arrival day of a second allocation period from the first allocation arrival day; the second allocation period is the next allocation period adjacent to the first allocation period;

for commodity objects needing automatic allocation, allocation orders can be issued to the warehouse server on the actual allocation date of each allocation period, and the allocation amount can be determined before the allocation orders are issued. When determining the dialing amount, the factors to be considered are: allocation period, allocation timeliness, sales forecast, and the like. Specifically, first, on a first actual dialing day of a first dialing cycle (which may be a current dialing cycle), a first dialing arrival day of the first dialing cycle may be determined according to the dialing aging, for example, the actual dialing day of the current dialing cycle is tuesday, that is, on a tuesday day, the dialing arrival day of the current dialing may be determined, for example, the dialing aging is two days, and then the first dialing arrival day is thursday.

Thereafter, a target inventory for the first dispatch arrival day may also be determined. The target inventory is to satisfy sales demand on the day before the arrival day of the second call from the arrival day of the first call to the next call cycle. Therefore, the second allocation arrival day of the next allocation period may be determined first, and specifically, the second allocation arrival day of the next allocation period may be determined according to the actual allocation day of the next allocation period and the allocation aging, for example, the actual allocation day of the next allocation period is friday, the allocation aging is two days, and the second allocation arrival day is sunday. Thus, it can be determined that the target inventory of the first allocation arrival day, that is, the thursday, is actually for satisfying the sales demand from thursday to saturday, and then, the allocation amount of the current tuesday, which is the actual allocation day, can be calculated according to the target inventory of the first allocation arrival day.

When calculating the target inventory of the first allocation arrival day, after determining which days the target inventory is for satisfying the sales demand, the sum calculation may be performed according to the predicted sales volume values of the days to obtain a first sales volume predicted total value, which may be used as the target inventory. For example, if the current first actual allocation day is tuesday, the first allocation arrival day is thursday, the second actual allocation day of the second allocation cycle is friday, and the second allocation arrival day is sunday, then:

target inventory for thursday-forecasted sales for thursday + forecasted sales for friday + forecasted sales for saturday

Specifically, regarding the sales prediction, the possible sales of a certain commodity object in a certain area in a future period of time can be analyzed according to the historical sales records and in combination with other parameters. The specific sales forecasting process may be performed on-line, and the sales forecasting algorithm is not the focus of the embodiments of the present application, and therefore, is only briefly described here.

The system forecast data of sales forecast can generally take daily sales values of six weeks in the future, and aggregate the future sales in the week dimension, and show the Monday of each week in the future as key values. The predicted value of the activity is classified as Monday of the current week, if the activity spans weeks, the sales of the activity is summarized into the first week, and if the activity spans three weeks, the sales of the middle week is 0. The sales forecast summary calculation rule may be: sum (first user forecast (daily sales), first user forecast (activity)) -first user forecast for the day of the activity (daily sales); example (c): the first user forecasts (daily sales) of WEEK1 and WEEK2 are 100 and 150, the activity time is the last day of WEEK1 and the first two days of WEEK2, the first user forecasts (activity) value is 500, the forecasts of WEEK1 are summarized as 100+ (500-100/7), and the forecasts of WEEK2 are summarized as 150-150/7 × 2. The system can roll predict the sales volume of 6 weeks in the future, and the predicted value of six weeks in the future is updated every Monday zero. Of course, other prediction methods may be used in specific implementations, and are not described in detail herein.

After the target inventory of the first allocation arrival day is determined, when the allocation amount of the current first actual allocation day is determined, the estimated real-time inventory of the first allocation arrival day (namely, when the goods are allocated) can be considered. That is, the target inventory is the inventory required for actual sales, and if the real-time inventory is available in the warehouse when the transfer inventory arrives, the transfer amount and the real-time inventory can be used together to meet the target inventory on the first transfer arrival day. Therefore, during the transfer, the real-time inventory may be deducted, that is, the transfer amount may be equal to the difference between the target inventory at the arrival date of the first transfer and the estimated real-time inventory at the arrival date of the first transfer. For example, assuming that the current first actual allocation day is tuesday and the first allocation arrival day is thursday, then:

target inventory for thursday-estimated real-time inventory for time of delivery (thursday)

Where the forecastable real-time inventory by the time of day of the first transfer may be calculated by parameters, such as: real-time inventory on a first actual allocation day, and a second sales forecast total from a day after the first actual allocation day to the first allocation arrival day. That is, real-time inventory in the warehouse, less the number expected to be sold in the next few days, can be obtained as the real-time inventory in the arrival. For example, assuming that the current first actual allocation day is tuesday and the first allocation arrival day is thursday, then:

real-time inventory for estimated thursday-real-time inventory for tuesday-predicted sales for wednesday-predicted sales for thursday

The real-time inventory of the Tuesday is possibly changed in real time, so that the calculation can be carried out by utilizing the nearest real-time inventory before the warehouse is called out to take the order, and the estimated result is more accurate. The predicted sales on wednesday and thursday can be obtained by using the results of the offline sales prediction.

Of course, in practical applications, there may be other types of call-in amount or call-out amount for the same warehouse, such as manual call-in or call-out, direct purchase warehousing, and so on. Such other forms of call-in amount may also be subtracted, if predictable, or added, etc. For example, assuming that the current first actual allocation day is tuesday, the allocation aging is two days, that is, the arrival day of the first allocation is tuesday, then:

forecast real-time inventory for thursday-forecast sales for wednesday-forecast sales for thursday-forecast manual dial-out for thursday forecast + manual dial-in for thursday forecast + purchase for thursday forecast

Thus, the dialing amount of the Tuesday can be determined through the formulas. Assuming that the second actual allocation day of the next allocation period is friday, the allocation amount of friday is as follows:

target inventory for friday-estimated real-time inventory of time of day (weekday)

Wherein:

real-time inventory estimated as time of arrival (day of the week) -real-time inventory for friday-saturday predicted sales-seventy-week predicted sales-sunday predicted manual dispatch + sunday predicted purchase

It should be noted that, in practical application, information such as a suggested allocation amount for automatic allocation may be provided for the first user, so that the first user may know the automatic allocation process, and whether manual allocation needs to be performed additionally may be determined according to the suggested allocation amount, and so on. For this reason, in the embodiment of the present application, an automatic dialing log may be created at a preset starting time of the first actual dialing day (for example, 8: 00 on tuesday, etc.), and the dialing amount of the first actual dialing day is calculated by using the real-time inventory of the preset starting time, where a specific calculation formula is the same as that described above, and the calculated dialing amount may be different because the real-time inventory of the warehouse at different times is constantly changing. The allocation amount may then also be updated within the first actual allocation day according to a preset update period (e.g., hourly). The automatic allocation log can be used for recording commodity object information, regional sub-warehouse information, central warehouse information and updating conditions of allocation amount of the first actual allocation date related to the automatic allocation, so that the contents of the automatic allocation log can be provided for the corresponding first user client, and the first user can obtain related information.

Specifically, the autodial log may include, but is not limited to, the fields shown in table 1 below:

TABLE 1

In a word, through the above, the allocation amount of the actual allocation day can be determined, then, the allocation list can be generated and sent to the warehouse server, and the allocation operation is executed by the warehouse server.

However, in practical application, the allocation amount of each actual allocation day is to meet the sales demand of multiple days, so the allocation amount may be relatively large, the pressure generated on the warehouse may be relatively large, and even delivery according to the agreed allocation timeliness may be impossible. For this reason, in the embodiment of the present application, in order to disperse the allocation pressure of the warehouse, the following processing may be performed:

the allocation amount is also determined respectively on the non-actual allocation days of the allocation period, and the allocation amount is related to the predicted sales amount on the day of the non-actual allocation day and the preset safety stock coefficient (which may also be set by the first user during configuration, or the system may configure default values, etc.). Then, a call list of the non-actual call date can be generated and sent to the warehouse server, so that the warehouse server can carry out call and delivery preparation on the call list of the non-actual call date before the actual call date, for example, sorting, packaging and the like can be carried out, and the call list does not need to be taken out of the warehouse at first, and then the call list is taken out of the warehouse together with the actual call date. In this way, the preparation work in the allocation can be dispersed to the non-actual allocation days for execution, so that the pressure of the warehouse can be dispersed.

Of course, in this case, when the allocation amount of the actual allocation day is calculated, the allocation amount of the non-actual allocation day may be deducted. Specifically, when determining the allocation amount of the first actual allocation day, the total allocation amount may be determined by first determining the non-actual allocation day accumulated from the day after the third actual allocation day of the third allocation period to the day before the first actual allocation day; and the third allocation period is the last allocation period adjacent to the first allocation period. For example, assuming that the current first actual dialing day is tuesday and the last actual dialing day is friday, since the dialing orders are generated even though the last saturday, the last sunday, and the current monday are not actual dialing days, the dialing amounts of the last saturday, the last sunday, and the current monday may be deducted. Thus, the dialing amount for tuesday may actually be:

target inventory for thursday-real-time inventory estimated at the time of arrival (thursday) -volume allocated for last saturday-volume allocated for last sunday-volume allocated for this monday

Similarly, when the actual dialing day is friday, the last actual dialing day is tuesday, and the dialing orders are generated on wednesday and thursday, so the dialing amount of friday may be:

volume allocated for friday-target inventory estimated at time of arrival (day of week) -volume allocated for wednesday-volume allocated for thursday

It should be noted that the allocation amount of the non-actual allocation day is not allocated on the non-actual allocation day, and therefore, the allocation amount is not to meet the sales demand of a certain day or a certain number of days, but is only to disperse the allocation pressure of the warehouse, and therefore, the allocation amount can be calculated in various ways. For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the predicted sales amount of the day on which the actual dialing day is not used may be directly used for calculation. In addition, in practical application, the system usually calculates the quantity of the safe stocks according to the data of the sales volume prediction and a certain safety factor, so that the stocks can be guaranteed not to be sold out under most conditions as long as the safe stocks are reached, and the essence is to avoid shortage of goods and improve the customer satisfaction rate, so that stocks with more than expected sales volume are prepared in a warehouse in advance. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the allocation amount of the non-actual allocation day may be further multiplied by the safety stock coefficient on the basis of the predicted sales amount.

S104: and generating a transfer order according to the transfer-in warehouse, the transfer-out warehouse and the transfer amount, and sending the transfer order to a warehouse server before the time of transferring out the warehouse to intercept orders.

After the allocation amount of the actual allocation day is determined, an allocation order can be generated according to the allocation amount of the warehouse, the warehouse and the allocation amount, and the allocation order is sent to the warehouse server before the time of taking out the order from the warehouse, so that the warehouse server can execute specific allocation operation.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, the first user does not need to manually generate the transferring and dialing list but automatically generates the transferring and dialing list by the system, so that the workload of the first user can be reduced, the time for sending the transferring and dialing list can be more accurately controlled, the list intercepting time for transferring out of a warehouse is avoided from being missed, and the timely transferring and dialing can be ensured. When the allocation list is automatically generated, information such as allocation period, allocation timeliness and actual allocation date is considered, and allocation amount is calculated according to sales demand, so that the problem of too much or too little allocation amount can be avoided, and relatively accurate allocation is realized.
