FIG. 2 is a flow diagram of inventory management according to one embodiment of the invention.
The inventory management method of the embodiment of the invention can be executed in an OMS (Order Management System ), as shown in fig. 2, the OMS sets corresponding channel platforms (such as channel a, channel B and channel C in fig. 2) and channel numbers according to different channels, receives a merchant system order (i.e. receives a first receipt), and the merchant receipt (i.e. the first receipt) can be an ex-warehouse receipt, a warehouse-in receipt or an in-warehouse receipt of a designated channel platform, wherein the first receipt indicates a preset inventory operation on an article of a designated channel, and takes the ex-warehouse receipt as an example, wherein the ex-warehouse operation on the article of the designated channel is indicated.
After the OMS receives the first document, a correspondence between preset information in the first document and the number of articles in a preset inventory operation may be recorded. The preset information includes a channel identification (e.g., channel number) specifying a channel, and may include information of other dimensions, such as warehouse dimensions, grade dimensions, and the like, in the case of information of other dimensions than channels.
When the OMS issues the first document to the WMS (inventory management system, or warehouse management system), the dimension of the channel platform (i.e. the channel information in the first document is filtered) is filtered, and the first document is integrated according to the preset dimension, specifically, the number of the articles in the preset inventory operation may be combined according to the preset dimension, such as the sku dimension (i.e. the article dimension), the warehouse dimension, and the grade dimension, to obtain the second document. For example, in the first bill, 10 items with high-grade sku being 1234 are put in the A-channel first warehouse, 20 items with low-grade sku being 1234 are put in the A-channel second warehouse, 30 items with high-grade sku being 1234 are put in the B-channel first warehouse, 40 items with low-grade sku being 1234 are put in the B-channel second warehouse, then after the channel information is filtered and the above-mentioned merging operation is carried out on the first bill, 40 items with high-grade sku being 1234 are put in the A-channel warehouse, and 60 items with low-grade sku being 1234 are put in the B-channel second warehouse. The WMS performs inventory processing of the physical object (physical object, i.e., real object in warehouse, not information representing object recorded by channel platform) according to the second bill, and generates inventory operation data of the object, wherein the inventory operation data is a record of the preset inventory operation, for example, for the above example, the inventory operation data of the object with sku being 1234 may include the following information: 40 high-grade articles with sku 1234 are put in the first warehouse, and 60 low-grade articles with sku 1234 are put in the second warehouse.
The WMS returns inventory operation data of the article to the OMS, and the OMS may determine, for the above example, an inventory change amount of the article corresponding to the specified channel according to the previously recorded correspondence corresponding to the inventory operation data, for example, 10 articles with sku 1234 in a warehouse of a channel a, 20 articles with sku 1234 in a warehouse of a channel B, 30 articles with sku 1234 in a warehouse of a channel B, 40 articles with sku 1234 in a warehouse of a channel B, and the inventory change amount of the article corresponding to the specified channel, which is: in the warehouse of A40 pieces of high-grade articles with the sku of 1234, 10 pieces of inventory change quantity of A channels and 30 pieces of inventory change quantity of B channels are reserved, and in the warehouse of B60 pieces of low-grade articles with the sku of 1234, 20 pieces of inventory change quantity of A channels and 40 pieces of inventory change quantity of B channels are reserved, and the inventory quantity of the articles in the OMS in the designated channels (A, B, C three channels) is updated according to the determined inventory change quantity.
OMS records channel inventory, and ensures accuracy of channel inventory of merchants. According to the warehousing quantity of channels specified by the warehousing documents, warehousing inventory of the recorded channels is increased; deducting the inventory quantity of the channel according to the quantity of the channel specified by the inventory bill; and recording the inventory quantity of the channel in-store adjustment according to the quantity of the channel in-store adjustment specified by the in-store bill. Meanwhile, the WMS records the real object inventory, and ensures that goods in multiple channels of merchants are coiled.
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a warehousing flow for inventory management according to one embodiment of the invention.
As shown in FIG. 3, the merchant places a bill from the bill system of the OMS so that the OMS receives the first bill. And the OMS performs basic information verification on the first bill, if the basic information verification is not passed, the first bill is refused, and if the basic information verification is passed, the flow is continued. The OMS records correspondence between preset information in the first document (including channel identification of the designated channel) and the number of items for the warehousing operation (not shown in fig. 3). And filtering channel information in the first bill, merging the warehousing operations in the first bill according to preset dimensions, for example merging the quantity of warehoused articles according to the sku dimension, the warehouse dimension and the grade dimension to obtain a second bill, and issuing the second bill to the WMS. The WMS performs operation warehousing on the objects in the warehouse according to the information in the second bill, generates warehousing data (namely inventory operation data of the objects), and returns the warehousing data to the OMS (namely the operation put-on-shelf returning step in FIG. 3), and the WMS records the physical inventory increase. After the OMS bill is received into the warehouse-in data, determining the inventory change amount of the specified channel corresponding to the article according to the inventory change value in the warehouse-in data and the recorded corresponding relation, wherein when the specified channels are multiple, the sum of the inventory change amounts of the specified channels corresponding to the article is equal to the inventory change value in the warehouse-in data, referring to the above example of warehousing the article with the sku being 1234, the sum of the inventory change amounts (10 pieces and 30 pieces respectively) of the high-quality-phase article with the sku being 1234 in the warehouse-in data of the A channel and the B channel is equal to the inventory change value (40 pieces) of the warehouse-in data of the high-quality-phase article, and the OMS complements channel information, so that the inventory change amount of the warehouse-in article of each channel is determined, and the inventory of the OMS channel is updated according to the inventory change amount of the article of each channel.
The basic information verification means that basic information of the object provided in the bill is complete and corresponds to information in the OMS. For example, an article in a bill is put in a warehouse in a D channel, but the D channel does not exist in an OMS, the result of the basic information verification is that the article does not pass, and if the information of the article and the OMS corresponds to each other, the verification passes.
FIG. 4 is a schematic drawing of an out-of-stock flow of inventory management according to one embodiment of the invention.
As shown in fig. 4, the merchant places an order from the document system of the OMS such that the OMS receives the first document. And the OMS performs basic information verification on the first bill, if the basic information verification is not passed, the first bill is refused, and if the basic information verification is passed, the flow is continued. The OMS records a correspondence between preset information in the first document (including channel identification of the specified channel) and the number of items for the out-of-stock operation (not shown in fig. 4). Judging whether the stock quantity of the articles in the designated channel meets the requirement quantity of the ex-warehouse operation of the articles in the designated channel, rejecting the first bill (the unsatisfied condition is not shown in the figure) if the stock quantity of the articles in the designated channel does not meet the requirement quantity, checking the channel stock, and pre-occupying the channel stock of the articles corresponding to the requirement quantity, namely executing the steps of pre-occupying the logic stock and checking the channel stock to pass in fig. 4, wherein the channel stock is the stock in the designated channel. And filtering channel information in the first bill, merging the ex-warehouse operation in the first bill according to a preset dimension, for example merging the number of the ex-warehouse articles according to the sku dimension, the warehouse dimension and the grade dimension, obtaining a second bill, and issuing the second bill to the WMS. And the WMS operates and goes out of the warehouse for the articles according to the information in the second bill, generates the out-of-warehouse data (namely the inventory operation data of the articles), and returns the out-of-warehouse data to the OMS, and the WMS records the real object inventory deduction. After the OMS receives the ex-warehouse data, determining the inventory change amount of the specified channel corresponding to the object according to the inventory change value in the ex-warehouse data and the recorded corresponding relation, wherein when the specified channels are multiple, the sum of the inventory change amounts of the specified channels corresponding to the object is equal to the inventory change value in the ex-warehouse data, the OMS compiles channel information, and updates the channel inventory of the OMS. Since the inventory management warehouse entry process of the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, a person skilled in the art can refer to the warehouse entry description to implement the warehouse exit process accordingly, and thus will not be described in detail.
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of an inventory adjustment flow for inventory management according to one embodiment of the invention.
As shown in FIG. 5, the merchant places an order from the document system of the OMS so that the OMS receives the first document. And the OMS performs basic information verification on the first bill, if the basic information verification is not passed, the first bill is refused, and if the basic information verification is passed, the flow is continued. The OMS records correspondence between preset information in the first document (including channel identification of the specified channel) and the number of items in the stock adjustment operation (not shown in fig. 5). Judging whether the stock quantity of the articles in the designated channel meets the requirement quantity for carrying out stock adjustment operation on the articles in the designated channel, rejecting the first bill if the stock quantity does not meet the requirement quantity, checking the channel stock if the stock quantity is met, and pre-occupying the channel stock of the articles corresponding to the requirement quantity, wherein the channel stock is the stock in the designated channel. And filtering channel information in the first bill, merging the inventory adjustment operations in the first bill according to preset dimensions, for example merging the quantity of the articles adjusted in the inventory according to the sku dimension, the warehouse dimension and the grade dimension, obtaining a second bill, and issuing the second bill to the WMS. The WMS performs inventory adjustment on the items in the warehouse according to the information in the second document, generates inventory adjustment data (i.e., inventory operation data of the items, i.e., the operation adjustment document of fig. 5), and returns the inventory adjustment data to the OMS, and the WMS records the physical inventory adjustment. After receiving the inventory adjustment data, the OMS bill determines the inventory change amount of the specified channel corresponding to the object according to the inventory change value in the inventory adjustment data and the recorded corresponding relation, wherein when the specified channels are a plurality of, the sum of the inventory change amounts of the specified channels corresponding to the object is equal to the inventory change value in the inventory adjustment data, the OMS completes channel information, and the channel inventory of the OMS is updated.
OMS records channel stock and manages channel stock. The sum of the merchant's multi-channel inventory in the OMS is equal to the merchant's physical inventory in the WMS. The inventory and bill interaction is carried out through channel inventory, and the accuracy of channel inventory is guaranteed.
