It should be understood that the number of requesting servers, networks, and servers in FIG. 1 are illustrative only. There may be any number of requesting servers, networks, and servers, as desired for an implementation.

With continued reference to fig. 2, a flow 200 of one embodiment of a method for transmitting information in accordance with the present application is shown. The method for transmitting information comprises the following steps:

step 201, determining whether a request sent by an external system for obtaining a target price of an item is received.

In the present embodiment, an execution subject (e.g., a server shown in fig. 1) of the method for transmitting information may determine whether a request for obtaining a target price of an item transmitted by an external system is received. The target price may include a cost price of the item. The executing agent may execute step 202 if a request for obtaining a target price of the item is received from an external system.

In this embodiment, the external system may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: a return system, an inventory system, and a processing system.

In response to receiving a request sent by an external system for obtaining a target price of an item, target information is obtained from the request, step 202.

In this embodiment, if it is determined in step 201 that a request for obtaining a target price of an item sent by an external system is received, the executing entity may obtain target information from the request. Here, the target information may include a service type and an item-related parameter. The service types are typically associated with external systems, one external system typically being associated with at least one service type. By way of example, a return transaction is typically associated with a return system, an inventory transaction is typically associated with an inventory system, and a processing transaction is typically associated with a processing system. The item-related parameter may include an item parameter of the item and an item parameter of a related item related to the item. The item parameter of the item may include an item identification (e.g., a SKU (Stock keeping Unit)), and the item parameter of the related item related to the item may include, but is not limited to, at least one of: the item quantity of the relevant item, the item identification of the relevant item, and the price (cost price or purchase price) of the relevant item. Here, the target information may further include a system identifier of the external system.

Step 203, obtaining a formula corresponding to the service type, and analyzing the formula to obtain an analysis result.

In this embodiment, the executing entity may obtain a formula corresponding to the service type, and analyze the formula to obtain an analysis result. Specifically, the execution main body may store a correspondence table between the service type and the formula, and may search the formula corresponding to the service type in the correspondence table. Then, the executing entity may analyze the formula to obtain an analysis result. The analysis result typically includes mathematical operations (e.g., addition, multiplication) that need to be performed and objects for which the mathematical operations are directed, and the objects are typically present in the item-related parameters.

And step 204, determining the target price of the article by using the analysis result and the article related parameters.

In this embodiment, the executing agent may determine the target price of the item by using the mathematical operation required in the analysis result and the item-related parameter for the mathematical operation.

Step 205, the target price for the item is sent to the external system.

In this embodiment, the executing entity may transmit the target price of the item determined in step 204 to the external system.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the executing entity may respond to a request sent by an external system for obtaining a target price of an item by obtaining target information from the request as follows: in response to receiving a request sent by an external system for obtaining a target price of an item, the execution main body may obtain initial information from the request, and convert the initial information into target information. The initial information is generally data suitable for the external system or data expressed in a data expression form in the external system. The target information is generally data suitable for a system (may be referred to as an internal system) provided in the execution body or data expressed in a data expression form in the internal system. Specifically, the execution body may store an initial information set, and may acquire the initial information existing in the initial information set in the request. The execution body may store a correspondence table of a correspondence between the initial information and the target information, and may query the target information corresponding to the acquired initial information from the correspondence table.

The initial information set and the correspondence table are usually associated with the external system, that is, different external systems usually correspond to different initial information sets and correspondence tables.

As an example, the correspondence table corresponding to the machining system stores: source _ id corresponds to source _ type, while reflection _ no corresponds to doc _ no, type corresponds to trans _ type, num corresponds to num, while butyl _ print corresponds to print, and amount corresponds to amount, if a request sent by the processing system is received, the initial information obtained from the request is: "source _ id": "1", "bussiness _ no": "1", "type": "2", "num": "11.1", "buy _ price": "10", "amount": "111", the correspondence table can be used to determine that the target information is: "source _ type": "1", "doc _ no": "1", "trans _ type": "2", "num": "11.1", "price": "10", "amount": "111".

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the external system may include a procurement management system. The purchasing management system is a management system which comprehensively utilizes the functions of purchasing application, purchasing order, feeding inspection, warehouse receiving, purchasing return, purchasing invoice processing, supplier management, price and supply information management, order management, quality inspection management and the like, and effectively controls and tracks the whole process of purchasing logistics and fund flow in a two-way mode, so that the perfect enterprise material supply information management is realized.

The method provided by the above embodiment of the present application can process all requests sent by external systems for obtaining the target price of an item, and compared with the existing manner of performing differentiated calculation for different service systems, the manner provided by this embodiment can simplify processing logic, improve adaptability of the system, and simultaneously can meet high-concurrency and high-performance calculation requirements.

With further reference to fig. 3, a flow 300 of yet another embodiment of a method for transmitting information is shown. The process 300 of the method for transmitting information includes the steps of:

step 301, determining whether a request sent by an external system for obtaining a target price of an item is received.

Step 302, in response to receiving a request sent by an external system for obtaining a target price of an item, obtaining target information from the request.

In the present embodiment, the steps 301-302 can be performed in a similar manner to the steps 201-203, and will not be described herein again.

Step 303, obtaining a formula corresponding to the service type, and analyzing the formula to obtain an analysis result.

In this embodiment, the executing entity may obtain a formula corresponding to the service type, and analyze the formula to obtain an analysis result. Specifically, the execution main body may store a correspondence table between the service type and the formula, and may search the formula corresponding to the service type in the correspondence table. Then, the executing entity may analyze the formula to obtain an analysis result. The analysis result typically includes mathematical operations (e.g., addition, multiplication) that need to be performed and objects for which the mathematical operations are directed, and the objects are typically present in the item-related parameters. The parsing result may also include indication information for characterizing whether the above formula requires a Remote Procedure Call (RPC). If two servers A and B exist, one application is deployed on the server A, and a function or a method provided by the application on the server B is required to be called, because the function or the method is not in a memory space and cannot be directly called, the semantics of the call and the data of the call need to be expressed through a network, and the process can be called as a remote procedure call. The indication information may be characterized as characters. As an example, the indication information for characterizing that the above formula requires a remote procedure call may be 1 or T, and the indication information for characterizing that the above formula does not require a remote procedure call may be 0 or F.

Here, the execution body may query whether there are characters (e.g., RPCs) in the formula that characterize the remote procedure call. If so, indication information characterizing that the above formula requires a remote procedure call may be obtained.

At step 304, it is determined whether the indication information included in the parsing result indicates that a remote procedure call is required.

In this embodiment, the execution subject of the method for sending information may determine whether the indication information included in the parsing result indicates that a remote procedure call is required. As an example, if the indication information is 1 or T, it may be determined that the indication information indicates that a remote procedure call is required.

And 305, if the indication information indicates that the remote procedure call is required, performing remote call by using the remote call parameter in the formula to obtain a remote call result, and determining the target price of the item by using the remote call result and the item-related parameter.

In this embodiment, if it is determined in step 304 that the indication information indicates that a remote procedure call is required, the executing entity may perform a remote call by using the remote call parameter in the formula to obtain a remote call result. Specifically, the execution body may parse a remote procedure call name in the formula, send a remote procedure call parameter to the electronic device corresponding to the remote procedure call name, and receive a remote procedure call result returned by the electronic device.

Then, the execution subject may determine a target price of the item using the remote invocation result and the item-related parameter. The execution main body can perform corresponding mathematical operation on the remote calling result and an object aimed by the mathematical operation in the article related parameters, so as to obtain the target price of the article.

As an example, the formula is Sum (getpricerpc (a.doc _ no) × a.num)/b.num, where the above formula is a formula corresponding to the processing system, a.doc _ no represents the item identifier of the item a, a.num represents the item number of the item a, and b.num represents the item number of the item b. Here, the a item represents an item related to an item whose target price is to be obtained, and the b item represents an item whose target price is to be obtained. For example, if the item for which the target price is to be sought is bread, the items related to the item for which the target price is to be sought may include flour, oil, sugar, and yeast. The executing entity may parse the remote procedure call name in the above formula to be popicirpc, and send the item identifier of the item a to the corresponding electronic device, so as to query the target price of the item a. Then, the target price of at least one a item can be inquired, the target price of each a item is multiplied by the item quantity of the corresponding a item, the obtained at least one product is added, and finally the addition result can be divided by the item quantity of the b item, so that the target price of the b item is obtained.

Step 306, the target price for the item is sent to the external system.

In this embodiment, step 306 may be performed in a similar manner as step 404, and will not be described herein again.

As can be seen from fig. 3, compared with the embodiment corresponding to fig. 2, the flow 300 of the method for sending information in this embodiment represents steps of, if the indication information indicates that a remote procedure call is required, performing a remote call by using a remote call parameter in a formula to obtain a remote call result, and determining a target price of an item by using the remote call result and an item related parameter. Therefore, the scheme described in the embodiment can improve the expandability of the system and further simplify the processing logic.

With further reference to fig. 4, as an implementation of the methods shown in the above-mentioned figures, the present application provides an embodiment of an apparatus for sending information, which corresponds to the method embodiment shown in fig. 2, and which is particularly applicable to various electronic devices.

As shown in fig. 4, the apparatus 400 for transmitting information of the present embodiment includes: acquisition section 401, analysis section 402, determination section 403, and transmission section 404. The obtaining unit 401 is configured to, in response to receiving a request sent by an external system for obtaining a target price of an item, obtain target information from the request, where the target information includes a service type and an item-related parameter; the parsing unit 402 is configured to obtain a formula corresponding to the service type, and parse the formula to obtain a parsing result; the determining unit 403 is configured to determine a target price of the item using the parsed result and the item-related parameter; the sending unit 404 is configured to send the target price of the item to the external system.

In this embodiment, the specific processing of the obtaining unit 401 of the apparatus 400 for sending information may refer to step 201 and step 202 in the corresponding embodiment of fig. 2, and the specific processing of the parsing unit 402, the determining unit 403, and the sending unit 404 may refer to step 203, step 204, and step 205 in the corresponding embodiment of fig. 2.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the obtaining unit 401 may obtain the target information from the request in response to receiving a request sent by an external system for obtaining a target price of the item, by: in response to receiving a request sent by an external system for obtaining a target price of an item, the obtaining unit 401 may obtain initial information from the request, and convert the initial information into target information. The initial information is generally data suitable for the external system or data expressed in a data expression form in the external system. The target information is generally data suitable for a system provided in the execution body or data expressed in a data expression form in the internal system. Specifically, the acquiring unit 401 may store an initial information set, and may acquire initial information existing in the initial information set in the request. The obtaining unit 401 may store a correspondence table of correspondence between the initial information and the target information, and may query the target information corresponding to the obtained initial information from the correspondence table.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the parsing result may include indication information for characterizing whether the formula requires a remote procedure call. If two servers A and B exist, one application is deployed on the server A, and a function or a method provided by the application on the server B is required to be called, because the function or the method is not in a memory space and cannot be directly called, the semantics of the call and the data of the call need to be expressed through a network, and the process can be called as a remote procedure call. The indication information may be characterized as characters. As an example, the indication information for characterizing that the above formula requires a remote procedure call may be 1 or T, and the indication information for characterizing that the above formula does not require a remote procedure call may be 0 or F.

In some optional implementations of the embodiment, the determining unit 403 may determine the target price of the item based on the analysis result and the item-related parameter by: if it is determined that the indication information indicates that a remote procedure call is required, the determining unit 403 may perform a remote call by using the remote call parameter in the formula to obtain a remote call result. Specifically, the determining unit 403 may parse a remote procedure call name in the formula, send a remote call parameter to the electronic device corresponding to the remote procedure call name, and receive a remote call result returned by the electronic device. Then, the determining unit 403 may determine the target price of the item by using the remote invocation result and the item-related parameter. The execution main body can perform corresponding mathematical operation on the remote calling result and an object aimed by the mathematical operation in the article related parameters, so as to obtain the target price of the article.
