Make up the invoice of a plurality of transaction
Fig. 5 is an embodiment process flow diagram that is used to create the process 500 of the invoice that makes up a plurality of transaction that utilize the foundation of based on network market.Process 500 can be carried out by processing logic, and this processing logic can comprise hardware, software or the combination of the two.In one embodiment, processing logic resides in (for example one of them of the application server 28 of Fig. 1) in the payment server.
With reference to figure 5, process 500 starts from processing logic and is positioned at the transaction of conclusion of the business (processing block 502) that first user participates in the predefine period.When setting up the agreement of the exchange value relevant with a kind of project of a kind of project (for example commodity or service) or most amounts between two sides (for example buyer and the seller), transaction strikes a bargain.First user can represent either party of two sides.Can or specify the predefined period by the definition of first custom system ground.In one embodiment, processing logic is located the transaction that has struck a bargain by the tran list 106 of search graph 3.
In processing block 504, the processing logic sign satisfies the transaction of conclusion of the business of standard capable of being combined.Standard capable of being combined for example can require, and transaction is from the common buyer and the common seller, is unpaid, is to be associated with identical currency and/or same markets website (at the market of same geographical area customization) etc.Can dispose standard capable of being combined based on concrete market or market website.
In processing block 506, processing logic is to the transaction capable of being combined of first user ID.For example, processing logic can identify transaction capable of being combined in the following way: with designator capable of being combined (for example icon) transaction capable of being combined is shown to first user, provide to each or all links of the screen of subclass that show the transaction capable of being combined identified, require first user to specify his or her trade partners, and show all transaction capable of being combined between first user and this trade partners etc.
In processing block 508, processing logic receives the data that indication first user approval is incorporated the subclass of transaction capable of being combined on an order.For example, when first user selected two or more transaction from the transaction subclass capable of being combined that shows and click designated button on the screen (for example send invoice button or combination project button, the button etc. of paying) now, processing logic can receive the data of indication first user approval.In another embodiment, invoice can comprise a plurality of subclass of the transaction capable of being combined that is associated with first user and first user's different trade partners.In another embodiment, invoice can comprise one or more subclass and one or more single transaction of the transaction capable of being combined that is associated with first user and first user's different trade partners.
In processing block 510, processing logic is added to expense to have in the order that makes up transaction.These expenses (charge) for example can comprise fare (cost), transport premium of insurance etc.These expenses can comprise the discount that is used for transaction capable of being combined is incorporated into an order.In one embodiment, the rule based on seller's appointment applies these expenses.In another embodiment, apply these expenses based on the rule of in based on network market, setting up.In another embodiment, the input that provides for current order based on first user applies these expenses.In yet another embodiment, in response to this input that first user provides for current order the request of input, apply these expenses based on trade partners.
Next, processing logic is an order creation preview invoice, and this preview invoice is presented to first user (processing block 512), and asks first user to ratify this preview invoice.If first user ratifies this invoice (decision box 514), then processing logic is preserved this invoice (processing block 516), and at an embodiment, with regard to this invoice notice trade partners.If first user disapproves this invoice, the processing logic invoice (processing block 516) of cancelling an order then, and, be the independent invoice of each transaction creation in the order at an embodiment.
In one embodiment, can either party create the order of a plurality of transaction of combination by the seller or the buyer.In one embodiment, order has particular state.For example, order can be effective, invalid, finish or the cancellation.Effectively order is the nearest order by the buyer or either party establishment of the seller.At any given time, transaction can only be the part of an effective order.Invalid order is because following arbitrary former thereby become invalid order: (a) seller does not make up effective order that the seller creates, (b) buyer does not make up effective order that the seller creates, or (c) buyer has created effective order that the buyer creates before new order replaces.Finishing order is the order (for example when the buyer finishes checkout to effective or invalid order by the electronic payment service or pays) of buyer's charges paid.When any one no longer satisfied standard capable of being combined in the transaction of order, order was cancelled.For example, will comprise the hand marker of the project that the buyer paid for cancelling.
In one embodiment, the permission buyer creates the order with the transaction capable of being combined that is not order that the existing effective seller creates or a part of finishing order.If the buyer creates an order of being made up of the transaction of the order of creating from the existing effective buyer, then this existing hand marker is invalid.These transaction only can be associated with an effective order.Allow the seller to create to have not to be to finish the order of transaction capable of being combined of the part of order.If the seller creates the order of transaction capable of being combined with the part that is the order created of the existing effective buyer, then the hand marker that this buyer is created is invalid, and its transaction is associated with the order of new effective seller's establishment.
In one embodiment, the buyer can pay to any order of finishing that is not labeled as.The buyer can be by the electronic payment service to any effective or invalid order checkout or paying.If the buyer has finished checkout by the electronic payment service to effective order or has paid, then with the status indication of this order for finishing.If the buyer has finished checkout by the electronic payment service to invalid order or paid, status indication that then will this invalid order is for finishing.For example, if the buyer creates order first and proceeds to the electronic payment services pay, the seller created the order with identical items before the buyer completes charge then, and then the hand marker that the buyer is created is invalid, and the order of these transaction with effectively seller's establishment is associated.
In one embodiment, unique sales figure numbering of being associated with the seller of each order is quoted.
Fig. 6 and 14 is used to generate the block diagram of two embodiment in addition that the seller of the invoice that merges a plurality of projects initiates process.This process can be carried out by processing logic, and this processing logic can comprise hardware, software or the combination of the two.
With reference to figure 6, will come description process 600 in conjunction with the exemplary user interface shown in Fig. 7-13.In one embodiment, the processing logic of process 600 resides in (for example one of them of the application server 28 of Fig. 1) in the payment server.
In processing block 604, processing logic receives the seller's pair selection that the designator capable of being combined that is associated with the project of buying from the seller is done.In one embodiment, that processing logic sign is bought from the seller, can be based on the subclass of the project of standard combination capable of being combined, be presented in (for example by seller's appointment) certain period the tabulation of the project of buying from the seller, wherein each project capable of being combined has an identifier capable of being combined (for example icon of appointment), and allows the seller to select the designator capable of being combined of specific project.When processing logic receives the selection that the seller does the designator capable of being combined of specific project, proceed to processing block 608, this demonstration can with the tabulation of the project of this specific project combination.Fig. 8 illustrates a demonstration UI (I have sold the UI of project), and it presents each project capable of being combined with icon, and allow the seller select the icon of specific project check can with the project of this specific project combination.
In processing block 606, the processing logic reception seller will add sundry item to the request in the invoice of creating.In one embodiment, processing logic sign can based on standard capable of being combined with creating the project of the projects combo of invoice, and on the invoice page, provide to can with begin a project the linking of bulleted list of combination of invoice.When processing logic receive the seller to the link done selection the time, proceed to processing block 608, this demonstration can with invoice begin a project the combination bulleted list.Fig. 9 illustrates a demonstration UI (send invoice UI), it comprise to can with the linking of the bulleted list of shown projects combo.
In processing block 608, processing logic shows the tabulation of project capable of being combined, and allows the seller to revise this tabulation (for example by remove some projects from tabulation).In processing block 610, processing logic receives the input of the relevant shown project of the seller, and in one embodiment, allow seller's technical routine expense (for example transport with service charge with, transport insurance etc.).In another embodiment, processing logic comes the expense of computational item based on the standard rule that keeps in the rule of seller's appointment or the market.Figure 10 A and 10B illustrate several demonstration UI (group purchase UI and transmission invoice UI), it allows the seller to check the project that will make up in invoice, the expense of given combination project (transport with service charge with, transport the insurance and sales tax), the input buyer's payment instruction, and specify the acceptable payment methods of the seller.
Next, when receiving the request (for example by group purchase UI) that the seller will make up the project of appointment (processing block 612), processing logic guarantees that these projects are still (promptly satisfying standard capable of being combined) (processing block 613) capable of being combined, and resulting order is kept at (processing block 614) in the database.If for example the buyer pays to project or finishes checkout during the seller and UI are mutual, perhaps the seller has used different browser windows to create another to comprise effective order of these projects, and then one or more projects may no longer satisfy standard capable of being combined.Then, processing logic removes the project that no longer satisfies standard capable of being combined from order, and the request seller checks remaining project.
Afterwards, in response to the request that the seller will send to the invoice of order the buyer, from database, retrieve the order of in database, preserving.
Perhaps, processing logic can receive the request (processing block 616) that the seller will send invoice when receiving about shown project and can apply seller's input (for example by sending invoice UI) of expense.Then, processing logic guarantees that the project in the invoice is still (promptly satisfying standard capable of being combined) (processing block 617) capable of being combined, invoice is kept in the database, and to buyer's send Email, comprises to the link (processing block 618) of the page that shows invoice.Figure 11 illustrates a demonstration UI (invoice sends to buyer UI), and it is notified the seller will comprise to the Email of the link of invoice and sends to the buyer.
In one embodiment, the seller can ask not make up be included in the project in the order of preserving or the invoice.Figure 12 illustrates the demonstration UI (not group purchase UI) that allows seller's request not make up project in order or the invoice.
Moreover when receiving the buyer will check the request (for example the buyer selects in the Email link to invoice) of invoice the time (processing block 620), processing logic shows the invoice (processing block 622) that the seller creates to the buyer.Figure 13 illustrates a demonstration UI (now to a plurality of project paying UI), and it shows the content of invoice to the buyer, and allows the buyer that whole order is paid, or separately each project is paid.
Figure 14 is the block diagram that the seller that is used to generate the invoice that merges a plurality of projects initiates another embodiment of process 1400.To process 1400 be described in conjunction with the exemplary user interface shown in Figure 15-18.In one embodiment, the processing logic of process 1400 resides in to based on network market and provides in the paying service system of paid service, and this market comprises the market 12 of Fig. 1.
With reference to Figure 14, process 1400 starts from the project (processing block 1402) that processing logic shows that the seller sells in the predefine period.Figure 15 illustrates a demonstration UI (manager UI after sale), it is presented on over the project that the seller sells in 30 days, and a set filter, it allows seller to check different classes of (for example all items, the project of not paying, charges paid project, the untapped ticket project of not paying, the project capable of being combined of not paying, the paying project etc. of having drawn a bill) of project that the seller sells.
In processing block 1404, the request that the seller will show the project that the seller sells of particular category (filtrator that for example uses manager UI after sale to provide) is provided processing logic.In response, processing logic shows other project of specified class.In the embodiment that is discussed, processing logic can show all projects of not paying (processing block 1406) or satisfy the project capable of being combined (processing block 1408) of standard capable of being combined.Standard capable of being combined for example can require, and project capable of being combined comprises the subclass of a plurality of projects of not paying with the common seller and common buyer.
Next, processing logic receives the sign seller and selects the data of project of invoice and the request (processing block 1410) that generates invoice.Figure 16 illustrates a demonstration UI (Bill managing device UT), and it presents the not paying project that the seller sells, and allows the seller to select the project (for example one or more subclass of project capable of being combined and/or single project) of invoice, and sends the request of creating invoice.The seller can ask to draw a bill to a buyer for different projects, perhaps draws a bill to a plurality of buyeies for different projects.
Moreover processing logic guarantees that selected item do not pay yet, creates invoice, and invoice is sent to one or more buyeies (processing block 1416) when the seller asks to send invoice.Figure 17 illustrates a demonstration UI, and it presents invoice to the seller, and to allow the seller be subclass or each single transaction designated fee usefulness of each project capable of being combined, and sends the request that invoice is sent to one or more buyeies.If invoice is sent to a plurality of buyeies, then each buyer only can check the invoice part relevant with this buyer.
In processing block 1418, processing logic receives the request that the buyer will check invoice (for example when the buyer selects to send to invoice in the buyer's the Email and links).Respond, processing logic shows invoice (processing block 1420) to the buyer.Figure 18 A and 18B illustrate the demonstration UI (payment details UI) that presents invoice to the buyer.
In processing block 1422, processing logic receives the request (for example by the paying button on Figure 18 B payment details UI) that the buyer will pay to project, and handles this paying.
Figure 19 is the block diagram that is used to generate an embodiment of the process that the buyer of the invoice that merges a plurality of projects initiates.This process can be carried out by processing logic, and processing logic can comprise hardware, software or the combination of the two.In one embodiment, processing logic resides in (for example one of them of the application server 28 of Fig. 1) in the payment server.To come description process 1900 in conjunction with the exemplary user interface shown in Figure 20-23.
With reference to Figure 19, process 1900 starts from the project that processing logic shows that the buyer buys in (for example the buyer is specified) a certain period, and wherein each project capable of being combined has designator capable of being combined (for example icon of appointment) (processing block 1902).Figure 20 illustrates a demonstration UI (the project UI that I have buied), and it presents each project capable of being combined with icon, and allows the buyer to select the icon of specific project, with check can with the project of this specific project combination.
In processing block 1904, processing logic receives the request that the buyer will check bulleted list capable of being combined.In one embodiment, when the buyer selected designator capable of being combined from the specific project of that purchase of the seller, processing logic received the request that the buyer will check bulleted list capable of being combined.
To this response, processing logic shows the project of buying from the seller capable of being combined, receives the input (processing block 1906) that sign will be combined to the buyer of a project in the order, and the expense of calculation combination project.In one embodiment, processing logic comes the expense of computational item based on the standard rule that keeps in the rule of seller's appointment or the market.Figure 21 illustrates demonstration UI (group purchase UI), and it allows buyer to check the project that will make up in invoice, show group item purpose expense (transport with service charge with, transport insurance and sales tax), and allow the buyer to send request to the project paying.
Next, processing logic receives the buyer will be to the request (processing block 1908) of combination project paying, guarantee that these projects are still (promptly satisfying standard capable of being combined) (processing block 613) capable of being combined, establishment comprises group item purpose order, and order is kept in the database.
One or more projects in the order may no longer satisfy standard capable of being combined.So, the processing logic notice buyer, and provide separately to the buyer projects are paid, or from order, remove the project that no longer satisfies standard capable of being combined, and require the buyer to check remaining project.Figure 22 illustrates a demonstration UI, the one or more projects message no longer capable of being combined in its display notification seller order.
Further, processing logic requires buyer's check will send to the seller's sequence information (processing block 1912), and when receiving the approval of sequence information from the buyer (processing block 1914), sequence information is sent to seller's (processing block 1916).A demonstration of Figure 23 A diagram UI (information is sent to seller UI), it shows sequence information, and requires the buyer to confirm that this sequence information is correct.
Afterwards, the processing logic indication buyer is to order paying (processing block 1918).A demonstration of Figure 23 B diagram UI (sending paying UI to the seller), it shows paying information, and requires the buyer to pay.
In one embodiment, before the buyer can or verify in the combination of confirming project and will send to the seller's information correctness, from that request invoice gross of the seller.Figure 24 illustrates a demonstration UI (asking total value UI from the seller), and it shows the project of combination, and asks the buyer to verify his or her Shipping Address, so that the seller can calculate the expense of this order.
In one embodiment, the buyer or the seller can ask the payment state of order.Figure 25 A and 25B illustrate demonstration UI (buyer's payment state UI and the seller's payment state UI), show the buyer and the seller's the sequence information and the payment state of order respectively.
In one embodiment, the seller can use sales management device instrument to check to have the buyer's tabulation from the project capable of being combined of that purchase of the seller, and this sales management device instrument helps the operation of the seller in market.A demonstration of Figure 26 A diagram UI (sales management device summary UI) comprises to the link of the buyer's tabulation with project capable of being combined of buying from the seller.Figure 26 B and 26C diagram show the demonstration UI (the sales management device is sold tabulation UI) of the order that comprises a plurality of transaction.
In one embodiment, the seller and the buyer can stay the feedback to whole order.Perhaps, they can stay feedback to each transaction in the order individually.Figure 27 illustrates the demonstration UI (the sales management device stays feedback UI) that allows the seller whole order to be stayed feedback.
In one embodiment, transport label and invoice form for order creation automatically, and can be that the packet printing that comprises this order transports label and invoice form by the seller.Figure 28 illustrates to the demonstration of order creation and transports the combination of label and invoice.
The fees policy of combination transaction
The seller can given combination the fees policy of transaction, it will be applied to all purchases of making up subsequently from this seller.In one embodiment, allow the seller to specify the discount rule of the expense that is associated with the combination transaction, encourage the buyer to buy more project thus from the seller.
Figure 29 A-29B and 30A-30C are the block diagrams that is used to define with several embodiment of the process that makes up the fees policy that transaction is associated.This process can be carried out by processing logic, and assistant's logic can comprise hardware, software or the combination of the two.In one embodiment, processing logic resides in (for example one of them of the application server 28 of Fig. 1) in the payment server.
With reference to figure 29A, process 2900 starts from processing logic and receives indication first user and be ready these transaction are combined to data (processing block 2902) on the invoice that first user leaves.In one embodiment, by the user interface about the input of the invoice that merge a plurality of transaction of request, receive this data from first user.
In processing block 2904, processing logic defines one group of rule, is used to calculate the expense of the transaction of making up on the invoice that first user leaves.In one embodiment, this group rule is about transporting and formality rate and transport piemium rate.In one embodiment, by the input that the user interface that is presented by processing logic provides, define this group rule based on first user.
In processing block 2906, processing logic will be organized rale store in database, so that the invoice of leaving with first user uses subsequently with first user-dependent being somebody's turn to do.In one embodiment, based on this group rule that is associated with the market website that the user's input that provides by UI defines, only can use with the project of buying by this market website.
With reference to figure 29B, will come description process 2900 in conjunction with the exemplary user interface shown in Figure 31 A-31F.
Process 2950 starts from processing logic and presents to the seller and sign in to preferential UI (processing block 2952).Figure 31 A illustrates the preferential UI that signs in to of a demonstration.
In processing block 2954, processing logic presents the option that is used to make up transaction to the seller.The preferential UI of group purchase of a demonstration of Figure 31 B diagram.
If processing logic receives the indication seller and do not allow to make up the data (processing block 2956) of transaction, then the processing logic forbidden combination is bought UI (processing block 2958), and the demonstration of transporting discount message (processing block 2960) of presenting to the market user on UI.
If processing logic receives the data (processing block 2962) that the indication seller allows to have the combination transaction of manually transporting discount, then processing logic starts demonstration group purchase UI and encourages from the message of the more commodity of that purchase of the seller, and the request seller imports piemium rate option (processing block 2970).A demonstration of Figure 31 D diagram UI, to the seller who has selected to have the combination transaction options that manually transports discount, display message " is checked the more bulk buying from this seller ".
If processing logic receives the data (processing block 2962) that the indication seller allows to have the combination transaction of transporting discount automatically, then processing logic starts group purchase UI, what the request seller imported group purchase transports discount rule (processing block 2966), the request seller imports the date range (processing block 2968) that allows group purchase, and the request seller imports piemium rate option (processing block 2970).Processing logic also starts the message demonstration of transporting discount of suggestion from the seller's group purchase.Figure 31 C, 31E and 31F illustrate demonstration UI, and what show that discount rule according to seller's appointment changes transports discount message.
With reference to figure 30A, process 3000 starts from the seller who transports the discount rule automatically preferential (processing block 3002) that processing logic detects the combination transaction, and presents to the seller and to transport rate rule option (processing block 3004).In described embodiment, transport rate rule option and comprise flat rate rule option and actual rate rule option.But, being without loss of generality, other embodiment can use additional and/or different regular options.
If processing logic receives the data (processing block 3008) that the indication seller selects the flat rate option, then processing logic presents flat rate shipping expense option (processing block 3010) and flat rate insurance option (processing block 3012) to the seller, and receives transporting and insuring preferential and it is stored in (processing block 3020) in the database of the seller.
If processing logic receives the data (processing block 3014) that the indication seller selects actual rate option, then processing logic presents actual rate shipping expense option (processing block 3016) and insurance option (processing block 3018) to the seller, and receives transporting and insuring preferential and it is stored in (processing block 3020) in the database of the seller.
With reference to figure 30B, process 3020 starts from processing logic and detects the seller and select flat rate to transport discount (processing block 3022), and presents the set of option that flat rate transports discount.Based on user input, processing logic can receive the sign seller select to first project transport the rate charge with maximum and to each addition item with data (processing block 3024), the sign seller of the option of close end charge select to first project transport the rate charge with maximum and to the data (processing block 3026) of the free option of addition item or the sign seller select to first project transport the rate charge with maximum and from the fare of each addition item the data (processing block 3026) of the option of deduction close end.
Next, in one embodiment, processing logic can receive the seller's instruction, with deduction a certain number percent (processing block 3030) in the fare of each project from order.Perhaps, processing logic can receive the seller's instruction, and the project of high fare applies discount (processing block 3032) to having to avoid.
Transport the rate rule in case processing logic has defined, it just begins definition and transports the insurance rule.Exactly, processing logic shows that flat rate transports the set of option (processing block 3034) of insurance.These options can comprise does not for example provide insurance option, optional insurance option, require the insurance option and transport with service charge with in comprise the insurance option.
If processing logic receives the data (processing block 3036) that the indication seller selects optional insurance option or requires the insurance option, then processing logic allows the seller to specify the fixedly sum of insurance (processing block 3038) of different Price Range, and will transport and insure rule and be kept at (processing block 3040) in the database.
If processing logic receive the indication seller select not provide the insurance option or transport with service charge with in comprise the data of insuring option, then processing logic is directly to processing block 3040.
Figure 32 A illustrates a demonstration UI (the preferential UI of group purchase), shows that flat rate transports and insure the option of discount.
With reference to figure 30C, process 3050 starts from processing logic and detects the seller and select actual rate to transport discount (processing block 3052), and presents the set of option that actual rate is transported discount.Based on user's input, processing logic can receive the data (processing block 3054) of sign seller selection with the option of actual fare (based on the weight of project in the order) and entire package and service charge charge, the sign seller selects with actual fare and does not have packing and the data (processing block 3056) of the option of service charge charge, the sign seller selects the data (processing block 3058) with the option of the packing of the close end of actual fare and whole order and service charge, or the sign seller selects each project is deducted with actual fare the data (processing block 3060) of the option of fixing packing and the charge of service charge discount.
Transport the rate rule in case processing logic has defined, it just begins definition and transports the insurance rule.Exactly, processing logic shows that actual rate transports the set of option of insurance.These options can comprise does not for example provide insurance option, optional insurance option, require the insurance option and transport with service charge with in comprise the insurance option.Processing logic detects the seller and selects an insurance option (processing block 3062) then, and will transport and insure rule and be kept at (processing block 3040) in the database.
Figure 32 B illustrates the demonstration UI (the preferential UI of group purchase) that the actual rate of demonstration is transported the option of discount.
In one embodiment, the seller can revise the fees policy of group purchase.A demonstration of Figure 33 A diagram UI (the preferential change of group purchase UI) confirms the change to fees policy.
In one embodiment, preserve to revise the date, and the seller or his trade partners can ask to check the history of rules modification.In addition, in case revised rule, just can show a message, to indicate this modification to the seller's trade partners.Figure 33 B illustrates and shows that transporting discount revises the demonstration UI (group purchase UI) that warns.
In one embodiment, when the new projects that will provide in based on network market were provided, the seller can revise fees policy, or was the new fees policy of group purchase appointment.Figure 34 illustrates a demonstration UI (selling your project UI), comprises to the link of the preferential UI of group purchase that can specify fees policy.
Figure 35 and 37 is used to use predefined fees policy to calculate the block diagram of several embodiment of the process with the expense that makes up the invoice of concluding the business.This process can be carried out by processing logic, and it can comprise hardware, software or the combination of the two.In one embodiment, processing logic resides in (for example one of them of the application server 28 of Fig. 1) in the payment server.
With reference to Figure 35, process 3500 starts from processing logic and realizes transaction is combined on the invoice of being left by first party (processing block 3502).In one embodiment, by in order creation process in greater detail above, realize the combination of concluding the business.
In processing block 3504, the processing logic sign is used for calculating automatically the relevant expense of leaving with first party of invoice by the rule of first user's appointment.These expenses can comprise shipping expense, packing and service charge usefulness, insurance premium etc.In one embodiment, the rule by retrieval from database is associated with first party identifies this rule.
In processing block 3506, the rule application standard is satisfied in the definite transaction of making up of processing logic.The rule application standard for example can require, and each transaction has the details of transporting of appointment, and All Activity has the fare (for example flat rate or actual rate) of same type, and the All Activity with same type fare is shared the identical method etc. of transporting.
In processing block 3508, processing logic dynamically calls and calculates the rule that comprises the expense of transaction in the order, and the expense of calculating is shown with order.In one embodiment, processing logic also calculate expense that the discount of using fees policy to provide calculates with by the difference between the expense of no allowance calculating, and show this difference to the buyer.Figure 36 illustrates a demonstration UI (group purchase UI), and it specifies the buyer by transaction being combined in the order what to be saved on transporting.
With reference to figure 37A-37C, process 3700 starts from the requirement (processing block 3702) that processing logic receives the fare of the order that will calculate a plurality of transaction, determine whether each transaction satisfies rule application standard (processing block 3704), if satisfy, then retrieval can be applicable to the fees policy of the order of these a plurality of transaction.The rule application standard for example can require, each transaction has the details of transporting of appointment, All Activity has the fare (for example flat rate or actual rate) of same type, shares the identical method etc. of transporting if use the weight measurement of combination then have the actual All Activity that transports rate.
Next, processing logic determines that whether the rate rule is based on actual rate (processing block 3706).If then processing logic determines that these rules are based on combination weight and also are based on single weight (processing block 3708).If these rules are based on combination weight, then processing logic determines whether combination weight surpasses carrier's restriction (processing block 3712).If not, then processing logic proceeds to processing block 3714.
If combination weight surpasses carrier's restriction, perhaps these rules are based on single weight, and then processing logic calculates based on the weight of single project and actually transports rate (processing block 3714), and manages frame 3714 everywhere.
In processing block 3714, processing logic determines that the seller's service charge is preferential.If these rules are specified entire package and service charge (processing block 3716), and these rules are based on combination weight (processing block 3718), and then processing logic comes calculation combination fare (processing logic 3720) by the service charge summation that will add all items based on the actual rate of general assembly (TW).
If these rules are specified entire package and service charge (processing block 3716), and these rules are based on single weight (processing block 3718), and then processing logic comes calculation combination fare (processing block 3722) by adding the service charge summation of all items based on the single actual rate summation of transporting rate of each project.
If these rules have only been specified actual fare (processing block 3724), then processing logic is not added to any service charge the combination carry expense and goes up (processing block 3726).
If these rules are specified fixing packing and service charge (processing block 3728), and these rules are based on combination weight (processing block 3730), and then processing logic adds that by transporting rate based on general assembly (TW) actual the service charge of seller's appointment comes calculation combination fare (processing block 3732).
If these rules are specified fixing packing and service charge (processing block 3728), and these rules are based on single weight (processing block 3730), and then processing logic comes calculation combination fare (processing block 3734) by adding the service charge of seller's appointment based on the actual rate summation of the single rate of each project.
If these rule requests are deducted close end (processing block 3736) from the service charge of each project, and these rules are based on combination weight (processing block 3738), then service charge and difference close end between of processing logic by each project being calculated this project, the summation of calculating all positive difference (being equal to or greater than zero difference) and the summation of being calculated added actual rate based on general assembly (TW) are come calculation combination fare (processing block 3740).
If these rule requests are deducted close end (processing block 3736) from the service charge of each project, and these rules are based on single weight (processing block 3738), then processing logic adds actual summation of transporting rate based on the single weight of each project by service charge and the difference between the close end of each project being calculated this project, the summation of calculating all positive difference and with the summation of being calculated, and comes calculation combination fare (processing block 3740).
If fees policy is based on flat rate (processing block 3706), then processing logic is determined the flat rate preferential (processing block 3748) of user's appointment.Require fare to add the close end (processing block 3750) of each addition item based on the highest single project expense if flat rate is preferential, then processing logic is by with the close end of the highest single project expense and each addition item Calais's calculation combination fare (processing block 3752) mutually.
If flat rate is preferential to require difference (processing block 3754) between fare adds fare and each addition item based on the highest single project expense the close end, then processing logic adds that by fare and the difference between this close end of calculating each project, the summation of calculating all positive difference and with the summation of positive difference the highest single project fare comes calculation combination fare (processing block 3756).
If the preferential requirement of flat rate is to each additional project free delivery (processing block 3758), then the combination carry expense equals the highest single project shipping expense (processing block 3760).
If the preferential fare that requires of flat rate deducts fixed percentage (processing block 3762) based on the project expense of each project, then processing logic comes calculation combination fare (processing block 3764) by fare and the difference between the fixed percentage of calculating each project and the summation of calculating all positive difference.
