Background

The automatic allocation of goods refers to a mode that the quantity of goods of specified types is calculated and allocation instructions are issued completely and automatically by a system without manual intervention (except necessary system initialization configuration) according to the needs of businesses, such as futures pre-sale.

Generally, some goods are sold in combination, such as an inner unit and an outer unit of an air conditioner. The goods for combination sale are called as combined goods, in which the goods constituting the combined goods are called child goods (e.g., indoor or outdoor units of an air conditioner). For the goods for combined sale, the current automatic transfer mode may cause that one part of the sub-goods composing the combined goods is transferred to the target warehouse and the other part of the sub-goods is not transferred to the target warehouse synchronously, so that the transferred sub-goods need to wait for the arrival of the other part of the sub-goods before being delivered to the user, or the transferred sub-goods are sent back to the transfer warehouse again.

Detailed Description

The automatic allocation method and the automatic allocation device can be applied to the automatic allocation system shown in fig. 1. In fig. 1, after the pre-sale is initiated, the consumer places an order on the item detail page and moves to the transaction system to pay a subscription fee. After the transaction system finishes the business operation, a deposit message is sent to the real-time calculation engine, the real-time calculation engine updates the summary result in real time after receiving the deposit message, and routes out the corresponding transfer-in warehouse (namely a target warehouse) according to the address of the consumer, then counts out each transfer-in warehouse and each goods, the number of the consumer purchases (the deposit number) till now, then summarizes the data, and writes the data into the database. The futures pre-selling system reads the summarized data, then calculates the quantity to be issued by the allocation according to the real-time inventory distribution condition, and then sends an allocation instruction to the storage center to create an allocation document. After receiving the documents, the storage center sends the documents to the dispatching warehouse, so that the dispatching warehouse completes specific dispatching operation. The vertical industry settlement system completes the locking of the pre-sold and dispatched goods.

In the above process, the generated data includes the allocation proposal and allocation lot number, etc., and a plurality of tables may be used to store the data generated in the above process, for example, the related tables include the item summary number table, the allocation proposal table, the allocation lot list, etc.

Specifically, one allocation proposal is used for recording the related allocation information of one child goods: the identity of the child goods, the name of the goods, the pickup warehouse (i.e., the target warehouse), the pickup quantity, the pickup status, the name of the supplier, the identity (e.g., ID) of the associated pickup lot, the type of inventory (including good, defective, box loss, machine loss, freezing, etc.), the pickup warehouse inventory, and the pickup in-transit inventory.

The allocation batch list is a summary of allocation suggestions, and one allocation batch can correspond to a plurality of allocation suggestions. One dialing suggestion can only be dialed once. The fields in the batch order include: the system comprises a transfer-out warehouse, a transfer-in warehouse, a stock type, a supplier ID and name, a transfer-out warehouse bill number (one transfer bill actually consists of two parts, namely a transfer-out warehouse bill and a transfer-in warehouse bill, wherein the transfer-out warehouse bill is used for guiding the operation of transferring out of the warehouse, the transfer-in warehouse bill is used for guiding the operation of transferring into the warehouse), a transfer-in warehouse bill number, a transfer-in bill state, a supplier contact name and a telephone.

The allocation method is mainly improved by aiming at the mode that the futures pre-selling system shown in fig. 1 calculates the quantity of the goods to be issued in the allocation. The combined goods are allocated according to the proportion, and therefore the delivery efficiency of the combined goods to a user is improved.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be 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, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

Fig. 2 is a transfer method proposed in the present application, which includes the following steps:

s201: the ratio of the preset number of the sub-items constituting the combined item in the combined item is obtained.

For example, if the combined goods is an air conditioner, and the sub-goods are an inner machine and an outer machine, in one combined goods, the preset number of the inner machines of the sub-goods is 1, the preset number of the outer machines of the sub-goods is also 1, and the preset ratio of the inner machines to the outer machines of the sub-goods is 1: 1.

It should be noted that, usually, the sub-item is the minimum unit of the dial, and for the convenience of the unified description, the non-combined single item is also usually used, for example, if the purchased item is a home theater system, the television display device and the sound are also referred to as the sub-item respectively.

S202: and calculating the quantity of the sub-goods required to be transferred according to a constraint condition, wherein the constraint condition is that the transfer quantity of the sub-goods forming the same combined goods is in proportion, and the proportion is the ratio of the preset quantity occupied by the sub-goods in the combined goods.

That is, for each of the grouped items, the number ratio of all the child items in the grouped item has been preset. For example, in the above example, the number of sub-article "outdoor units" and "indoor units" of the combined article "air conditioner" is preset at a ratio of 1: 1. Therefore, based on the preset ratio obtained in step S201, in the calculated number of sub-items that need to be dialed this time, the number of the "internal units" is 10, and the number of the "external units" is also 10, so that the number of the two units can be ensured to satisfy the preset ratio of 1: 1.

When the number of the sub-goods to be transferred is calculated, the preset ratio of the number of the sub-goods in the combined goods needs to be considered, so that the calculated ratio of the number of the sub-goods meets the preset ratio. This is obviously different from the way in which the futures pre-sale system shown in fig. 1 calculates the quantity to be issued in the current allocation according to the real-time inventory distribution.

S203: and sending a transfer instruction, wherein the transfer instruction comprises the quantity of the sub-goods to be transferred, and the transfer instruction is used for indicating the transfer of the sub-goods.

The transfer method in this embodiment uses the preset ratio of the number of the sub-goods in the combined goods as the constraint condition for calculating the transfer number of the sub-goods transferred this time, so that the sub-goods in the combined goods can be issued in proportion, the combined goods can be sent to the user in time, and the sending efficiency of the combined goods is improved.

Fig. 2 focuses on the difference between the allocation method according to the present application and the calculation method of the sub-item allocation quantity in the existing automatic allocation process, and the interaction between the futures pre-sale system and other systems in the allocation process can be referred to fig. 1, which is not described herein again.

The method shown in fig. 2 will be described in detail below with reference to data generated in the transfer process, and the main point is to explain how to determine the number of sub-items to be transferred, which satisfy the constraint conditions, by modifying the data.

Fig. 3 is a specific flow of the allocation method disclosed in the present application, which includes the following steps:

s301: and reading the real-time summarized data, and processing and secondarily summarizing the data to form order data.

S302: the combined goods in the order data are split into sub-goods.

S303: a real-time inventory distribution of individual sub-items is obtained.

Specifically, the inventory quantity of each sub-item in the calling-out warehouse, that is, the calling-out warehouse inventory quantity, and the quantity of the sub-items that have been issued from the calling-out warehouse can be obtained.

S304: and determining the transfer quantity of each sub-item according to the current inventory distribution.

Specifically, the transfer quantity of any one child article is min (the transfer warehouse stock quantity of the child article, the total order quantity of the child article-the quantity of the child article already delivered). The meaning of the formula is that the quantity issued this time by any sub-goods is measured to be the smaller of two values, wherein one value is the total quantity of the sub-goods in the warehouse, and the other value is the difference value between the order total quantity of the sub-goods and the quantity issued.

The inventory quantity of the called warehouse of the child goods can be obtained from the warehouse center in fig. 1, the total order quantity of the child goods can be obtained from the futures pre-sale system in fig. 1, and specifically, the total order quantity of the child goods is calculated by the real-time calculation engine and then sent to the futures pre-sale system, and is stored in the database by the futures pre-sale system.

For example, if a child item, from pre-sale to today, the order size is 10. After the previous days of pre-sale sinking, 5 pieces have been allocated. Then in practice 5 more transfers are needed. But if only 3 items are present in the warehouse, 3 items are eventually issued. And if the warehouse has 5 or more than 5 pieces of goods, 5 pieces are issued.

S305: and generating and storing the transfer suggestions of each child goods, wherein any transfer suggestion comprises the transfer quantity and the attribute field of the child goods.

In addition to the number of calls, as previously described, the call advice may include the following fields: the identity, name, transfer-out warehouse, transfer-in warehouse (i.e., target warehouse), transfer status, and supplier name of this child item. In addition, other fields in the aforementioned dialing suggestion may also be included in the dialing suggestion, and are not described herein again.

It should be emphasized that, compared with the existing dialing suggestions, in the present embodiment, a special field, i.e., an attribute field, is provided in any one of the dialing suggestions for storing the combined item associated with the child item included in the one dialing suggestion. It is possible for one child item to be associated with one combined item and also for a plurality of combined items to be associated. By "associated" is meant that the child item is the child item that makes up the composite item. Therefore, only one combined item may be recorded in the attribute field of one transfer suggestion, and a plurality of combined items may also be recorded.

Specifically, if one child item is a child item which forms a combined item or a child item which can be sold separately, namely a child item of a non-combined item, two types of calling suggestions are generated for the child item, wherein one type of calling suggestions is used as the calling suggestions of the combined child item, and in the types of calling suggestions, the combined item associated with the child item is recorded in an attribute field; one type is its calling suggestion as a non-combinable child item, and the attribute field in this type of calling suggestion is set to null.

For example, the range hood and the gas stove can be sold in a combined manner or sold separately, an attribute field is used for recording a combined product (such as a range hood suit) in a dialing suggestion for the range hood or the gas stove, and the attribute field in another dialing suggestion is empty.

S306: and acquiring the generated dialing suggestion.

S307: and adding the allocation suggestions of the child goods of the non-combined goods in the allocation suggestions into the allocation batch candidates.

S308: if the quantity of the remaining stock is enough, adding the allocation suggestion of the child goods of the combined goods in the allocation suggestion into the allocation batch candidate.

The purpose of S307 and S308 is to prioritize the transfer of individual sub-items to further ensure the proportional delivery of combined sub-items. For example, a range hood a and a gas range B are combined into a combined commodity C for sale in a range set. Meanwhile, A can also be sold separately. Suppose a sells 10 and C10. Thus, a requirement is 20 pieces and B requirement is 10 pieces. In the warehouse, if the stock of A is greater than or equal to 20 pieces and the stock of B is greater than or equal to 10 pieces, the requirement of pre-sale (namely the target warehouse) can be fully issued. However, if A has only 15, B has 10. Then 10 pieces a for single sale are preferably guaranteed. Specifically, of the 15 pieces of a, 10 are used for single sale, and the remaining 5 pieces are left for combination sale. Because A only sends 5 pieces to the combined selling, B also needs to send 5 pieces.

And if the child goods of the non-combined goods are not issued preferentially, issuing 10 pieces to the child goods of the combined goods and issuing 5 pieces to the child goods (the child goods sold singly) of the non-combined goods. Accordingly, B also issues 10 pieces. Thus, 15 pieces a and 10 pieces B reach the destination warehouse. At the destination warehouse, there are 10 orders for C and 10 orders for A that need to be shipped. In this case, if the combined item is delivered to the buyer on the basis of the principle of the preferred delivery of the combined item, the proportional delivery of the combined sub-item can be ensured.

However, if the shipment is randomly made to the buyer, the following situation occurs: a for 10 single sales was issued first, then at this time, 5 a and 10B remain in the warehouse. At this time, 5C's may be shipped, but 5B's remain. The 5B can only wait for the transfer-out warehouse and then transfer 5A to the transfer-out warehouse, and if the transfer-out warehouse can not replenish goods all the time, finally, after the pre-sale is finished, the 5B can only be transported back to the transfer-out warehouse, thereby increasing the logistics cost.

It can be seen that S307 and S308 ensure that proportional first sending of combined goods can be ensured regardless of the delivery rule, and the possibility that the logistics cost is wasted is reduced.

S309: allocating the allocation proposals with the same parameters into the same allocation batch.

In particular, the parameters include at least one of a call-out warehouse, a call-in warehouse, a merchant identification, or an inventory type. The aim is to ensure the transfer according to the parameters.

Optionally, after the dialing batch is generated, the dialing recommendation may be associated with the dialing batch in which the dialing recommendation is located in each dialing recommendation in the dialing annotations, and specifically, an identifier (e.g., ID) of the dialing batch list in which the dialing recommendation is located may be recorded in the dialing recommendation.

S310: and traversing the allocation batches, and for any one allocation batch, selecting the combined goods in the allocation batch, namely acquiring the combined goods from the attribute field of the allocation proposal in the allocation batch.

S311: traversing the combined goods, and determining child goods forming the combined goods for any one combined goods.

Specifically, the child items constituting each of the composite items may be obtained from a preset database, such as a commodity database.

S312: and traversing the sub-items, and if one of the sub-items is not in the transfer batch or the inventory quantity of one of the sub-items is not enough to provide the quantity in the transfer suggestions, deleting the transfer suggestions of other sub-items of the combined item consisting of the sub-items from the transfer batch.

If one sub-item is not in the transfer batch or the stock is insufficient and the transfer cannot be supported, the combined item cannot be proportionally issued, so that transfer suggestions of all the sub-items of the combined item need to be deleted.

S313: for each sub-item, the number of combined items that can be provided by the number of the sub-item in the transfer batch is determined.

For example, the allocation batch includes 10 air conditioner internal units and 8 air conditioner external units, the number of air conditioners which can be provided by the air conditioner internal units is 10, and the number of air conditioners which can be provided by the air conditioner external units is 8.

S314: the minimum value of the number of the combined goods which can be provided by each sub-goods composing the combined goods is selected as the transfer number of the combined goods.

In the above example, the number of air conditioners is 8.

S315: and determining the allocation quantity of each sub-item forming the combined goods according to the allocation quantity of the combined goods and the ratio of the preset quantity occupied by each sub-item in the combined goods.

In the above example, the number of allocated air conditioners is 8, and the number of allocated air conditioners is 8.

S316: and if the determined transfer quantity of any one sub-item of the combined goods is different from the transfer quantity of the sub-item in the transfer suggestion of the sub-item, modifying the quantity of the sub-item in the transfer suggestion of the sub-item into the determined transfer quantity of the sub-item.

In the above example, the number of calls in the call suggestion of the air conditioner indoor unit is changed from 10 to 8.

It can be seen that the operation of correcting the dialing amount in the dialing advice is performed for the dialing advice of the sub-item of the combined item, while the operations of S311 to S316 may not be performed for the dialing advice of the individual sub-item.

S317: after the allocation proposal in any allocation batch is modified, the storage center is called, and an allocation order is generated according to the allocation batch, namely, the allocation instruction is issued.

In practical applications, S301 to S305 may be defined to be periodically executed at a first timing period, and S306 to S317 may be defined to be periodically executed at a second timing period. In this case, since there may be a time difference between the two processes, and it is likely that the inventory has changed in this time difference, between S306 and S307, S3061: and correcting the allocation suggestion according to the real-time inventory so as to change the allocation suggestion along with the change of the inventory.

For example, the following steps are carried out: suppose that in the first timing period, warehouse a has 10 stocks and warehouse a needs 10 stocks. After a few minutes, it is possible that only 7 of the 10 items remain, because the bringing warehouse a is also directly shipped to the buyer. Then, by the second timing period, only 7 pieces can be issued, and 10 pieces cannot be issued. This process is a real-time inventory correction.

Further, in each of the operation periods of S306 to S317, it is possible that the following combined goods cannot complete the transfer of the sub-goods because of insufficient stock, and therefore, in the case where the transfer warehouse supplies the goods to a plurality of transferring parties, for example, the transfer warehouse, and the transfer lots are divided by the dimension of the transferring party, it is possible that some of the transferring parties may not always divide the goods. Therefore, further, in each operation period of S306 to S317, the combined goods may be reordered, that is, before traversing the combined goods in S311, the combined goods may be reordered, and then sequentially traverse and execute subsequent steps according to the sequence from front to back, so as to achieve equal delivery probability of the goods as much as possible.

It can be seen from the above steps that, in the allocation method shown in fig. 3, the number of the sub-commodities in the same batch is corrected according to the combined number and ratio, so that the sub-commodities of the combined commodity can be sold separately in the downstream and also can be sold in the combined manner. If the combined goods are sold, the combined goods can be delivered in proportion, so that the sub-goods of the combined goods are prevented from waiting for the consumption of other sub-goods (including the consumption of back-and-forth transportation and the consumption of time cost and space cost of putting the combined goods in a target warehouse), the efficiency of delivering the combined goods to users is improved, and the transportation and storage cost of the goods is reduced.

In addition, the transfer method disclosed by the embodiment of the application has good expansibility, supports the condition that the sub-goods are associated with one or more than two combined goods, and supports the condition that one combined goods comprises two or more than two sub-goods.

Fig. 4 is a transfer device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, including: a calculation module 401 and a dial-up module 402.

The calculating module 401 is configured to calculate the number of child goods that need to be transferred this time according to a constraint condition, where the constraint condition includes: the transfer quantity of the sub-goods forming the same combined goods is proportional to the preset ratio of the quantity occupied by the sub-goods in the combined goods.

The allocating module 402 is used for sending allocating instructions, the allocating instructions include the number of the sub-goods which need allocating at this time, and the allocating instructions are used for indicating the allocating of the sub-goods.

Specifically, the specific implementation method for the calculation module to calculate the number of the sub-items to be transferred at this time is as follows: allocating allocation proposals with the same parameters into the same allocation batch, wherein the parameters comprise at least one of an allocation warehouse, a merchant identifier or an inventory type; for any transfer batch, selecting a combined product in the transfer batch, wherein the combined product is recorded in an attribute field of a transfer suggestion in the transfer batch; for any combined goods, determining child goods forming the combined goods; for any child item, determining the quantity of combined items which can be provided by the quantity of the child item in the transfer batch; selecting the minimum value of the quantity of the combined goods which can be provided by each sub-goods forming the combined goods as the transfer quantity of the combined goods; and determining the allocation quantity of each sub-item forming the combined goods according to the allocation quantity of the combined goods and the ratio of the preset quantity occupied by each sub-item in the combined goods.

Further, the specific implementation manner of dividing the allocation and recommendation with the same parameters into the same allocation batch is as follows: acquiring a dialing suggestion; adding the allocation suggestions of the sub-goods of the non-combined goods in the allocation suggestions into the allocation batch candidates; if the quantity of the remaining stock is enough, adding the allocation suggestions of the sub-goods of the combined goods in the allocation suggestions into the allocation batch candidates; and dividing the allocation and establishment protocols with the same parameters in the allocation and allocation batch candidates into the same allocation and allocation batch.
