[0037] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in a variety of forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be more comprehensive and complete and will fully convey the concept of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art.

[0038] In addition, the described features, structures or characteristics may be combined in one or more embodiments in any suitable manner. In the following description, many specific details are provided to provide a full understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the technical solutions of the present disclosure may be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or other methods, components, devices, steps, etc. may be adopted. In other cases, known methods, devices, implementations or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid blurring the various aspects of the present disclosure.

[0039] The block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings are merely functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically independent entities. That is, these functional entities may be implemented in software form, or in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different networks and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0040] The flowcharts shown in the accompanying drawings are only exemplary and do not necessarily include all the contents and operations / steps, nor must they be executed in the order described. For example, some operations / steps can be decomposed, and some operations / steps can be combined or partially combined, so the actual execution order may change according to actual conditions.

[0041] The implementation details of the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure are elaborated in detail below.

[0042] Figure 1 The following is a schematic diagram showing a flow chart of a warehouse management method in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the warehouse management method includes steps S101 to S104:

[0043] Step S101, extracting goods to be stored based on the goods storage order;

[0044] Step S102, when the commodity to be stored is a box-type commodity, scan the box barcode of the box-type commodity, and update the number of received boxes and the number of received items based on the box barcode;

[0045] Step S103, when the commodity to be stored is a bulk commodity, scanning the commodity code of the bulk commodity, and updating the number of received bulk commodities based on the commodity code;

[0046] Step S104, storing the goods to be stored in the box mixed picking storage area.

[0047] In the technical solutions provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, when goods are put into storage, if the goods to be put into storage are box-standard goods, it supports scanning the box barcode to update the storage data; if the goods to be put into storage are loose goods, it supports scanning the product code to update the storage data; finally, the goods to be put into storage are put into the same storage area, that is, the box-zero mixed picking storage area. Based on the above method, on the one hand, it supports mixed operations of warehousing management by both boxes and pieces, that is, the box-standard goods and scattered goods can be managed under one owner, realizing the joint management of toC and toB inventories and improving the merchant's operating experience; on the other hand, it supports scanning the existing box barcodes of the merchant's outer boxes as box-standard goods management identification information, which can reduce storage operations and reduce consumables and labor costs; on the other hand, placing both box-standard goods and scattered goods in the box-zero mixed picking storage area for joint storage can reduce the picking area and confluence work, and improve outbound efficiency.

[0048] Below, each step of the warehouse management method in this example implementation will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0049] It should be noted that steps S101 to S104 can all be executed by the international warehouse storage system iWMS.

[0050] In step S101, the commodities to be received are extracted based on the commodity receiving order.

[0051] Specifically, iWMS receives a product entry order, which can be created by a user in FOP (Fulfillment Orchestration Platform, international supply chain fulfillment scheduling platform) and then sent to iWMS by FOP.

[0052] Figure 2 The following is a schematic diagram of an interface of a commodity entry form in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the product entry form includes the service information, basic information and product information of the entry. Among them, the basic information includes the customer entry form code, the owner of the goods, the name of the sales channel, etc. Figure 2 shown.

[0053] Through the commodity information of the commodity entry order, the commodities to be entered can be retrieved. The commodities to be entered can include box-sized commodities or loose-part commodities. Among them, box-sized commodities are commodities that can be stored in boxes, such as a box of mineral water, a box of toilet paper, etc. When managing such commodities in warehouses, they can usually be entered, shipped out and counted as a whole box, thereby improving the efficiency of warehouse management. Loose-part commodities are commodities that can be stored individually, such as a mobile phone or a computer.

[0054] It should be noted that a commodity may be both a box commodity and a loose item commodity. For example, if mineral water is put into storage in full boxes, it can be managed according to the logic of box commodities. If it is put into storage in single pieces, it can be managed as loose items. In addition, a commodity can also correspond to multiple packaging specifications, and then correspond to different box specification information. For example, mineral water can be packed in a box of 12 pieces or 20 pieces. Different packaging corresponds to different box specification information.

[0055] When goods are waiting to be put into storage, they must first be put into storage according to their types. On the one hand, the relevant information of the goods to be put into storage must be synchronized in the system, and on the other hand, the goods must be placed in the corresponding storage area.

[0056] In step S102, when the commodity to be stored is a box-type commodity, the box barcode of the box-type commodity is scanned, and the number of received boxes and the number of received items are updated based on the box barcode.

[0057] Specifically, when the goods to be stored are obtained, it can be checked whether the goods to be stored include a box specification mark. If so, it is determined to be a box specification product and is stored in the box.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the updating of the number of received boxes and the number of received items based on the box barcode includes: determining the current number of incoming boxes based on the number of scanned box barcodes; updating the number of received boxes according to the current number of incoming boxes, and querying the number of box specifications corresponding to the box barcode from a box specification database; calculating the current number of incoming items based on the number of box specifications and the current number of incoming boxes, and updating the number of received items according to the current number of incoming items.

[0059] Specifically, when box-sized goods are put into storage, the number of boxes received and the number of pieces received need to be updated at the same time.

[0060] For the number of boxes received, each scan of a box barcode is considered as a box of goods entering the warehouse. Therefore, after scanning the box barcodes of the goods to be entered into the warehouse, the current number of boxes entering the warehouse can be counted, and then the existing number of boxes received is added to the current number of boxes entering the warehouse to update the number of boxes received.

[0061] In some other embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of boxes received can also be manually input as the current number of boxes in storage, and the number of boxes received can be updated by the input current number of boxes in storage.

[0062] As for the number of items received, since the items put into storage are box-sized goods, the corresponding box-sized item number can be queried based on the box barcode, and the current number of items in storage can be calculated. Then, the existing number of items received can be added to the current number of items in storage to update the number of items received.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method also includes pre-creating the box regulation database, and the pre-creating the box regulation database includes: obtaining the box regulation information configured by the user; wherein the box regulation information includes the box regulation code, the number of box regulation pieces and the box barcode, the box regulation code and the box regulation piece number are one-to-one mapping, and the box regulation code and the box barcode are one-to-many mapping; the box regulation information is stored in the database to obtain the box regulation database.

[0064] Specifically, users can pre-create some box specification information based on commonly used commodities, which includes at least box specification code, box specification number of pieces and box barcode. Among them, one box specification code corresponds to one box specification number of pieces, which is a one-to-one mapping. And one box specification code can correspond to multiple box barcodes. For example, different batches of commodities from the same manufacturer have the same box specifications, such as 10 pieces / box, but the box barcodes of each box are different.

[0065] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the user can maintain the commodity box specification information through the FOP system, such as creating, modifying, and deleting the configured box specification information. The FOP system sends the configured box specification information to the iWMS.

[0066] Figure 3 The structural diagram of the box specification information of a commodity in the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. The box specification information includes the packaging specification master data, the commodity master data, the packaging barcode master data and the packaging hierarchical relationship. Among them, the packaging specification master data may include the commodity code, box specification code, box specification name, box specification piece number, box length, box width, box height, box weight, etc.; the commodity master data may include the commodity code, commodity name, consignor code, whether batch management, unique code management, whether serial number, gross weight, net weight, piece type, length, width, height, etc.; the packaging barcode master data includes the box barcode; the packaging hierarchical relationship may include the box specification code, box specification hierarchical structure, measurement unit, measurement quantity and basic measurement quantity.

[0067] It should be noted that the concepts of box specification code and box barcode are different. The box specification code is the system's globally unique code assigned by the FOP system when managing box specification information, while the box barcode is the real scannable code on the outer packaging of the product.

[0068] Figure 4The following is a schematic diagram of an interface for box gauge information in a FOP system in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 As shown, the box specification information shows the box specification code and the number of box specifications (i.e. Figure 4 The number of SKUs per box in the box), box length, box width, box height, length unit, and weight and weight unit. Merchants can set merchant box specification information. When the goods enter the warehouse, for the unified management of the warehouse, the warehouse collection box specification information needs to be reset. The merchant box specification information can be used directly or modified based on the original merchant box specification information.

[0069] During the pre-inspection of the goods incoming, the system supports scanning the box barcodes of the goods to be incoming. The iWMS system updates the number of boxes and items received in real time based on the box specification information maintained in the FOP.

[0070] In step S103, when the commodity to be stored is a bulk commodity, the commodity code of the bulk commodity is scanned, and the number of received bulk commodities is updated based on the commodity code;

[0071] Specifically, if the scanned goods to be received are loose items, and the scanning of the product code of the goods to be received is supported, the system will automatically identify them as piece-by-piece items and receive them into the warehouse, and update the number of loose items received in real time.

[0072] For example, Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the interface before a product is put into storage in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically. The product entry supports scanning the box barcode of the box-sized product and also supports scanning the product code of the loose product. Figure 5 As shown, area 501 displays scanning information, area 502 displays warehousing information, and area 503 displays inventory information.

[0073] If the product is a box-size product, the 501 area will display the scanned box barcode, and the 502 area will display the current number of boxes in stock. For example, after scanning the product with the box barcode xtm00001, 18 boxes have been in stock. The 501 area will display xtm00001, and the 502 area will display 18. Refresh and jump to Figure 6 .

[0074] Figure 6 The following is a schematic diagram of an interface after a commodity is put into storage in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6 As shown, the 601 (corresponding to 501) area and the 602 (corresponding to 503) area are cleared, and the 603 (corresponding to 603) area is updated to display the inventory information, including the box barcode or commodity code currently in the warehouse, the number of received pieces, the number of received boxes, and the number of received loose pieces. In addition, in the 603 area, the 6031 area adds the box information display, and the 6032 area adds the box and loose piece acceptance quantity display.

[0075] If the product is a box-size product, update the number of received pieces and boxes, such as Figure 6 , the box specification information shows that the number of pieces per box is 10. Then 18 boxes are put into storage, the number of boxes received changes from 0 to 18, the number of pieces received changes from 0 to 180, and the number of loose pieces received is not updated and remains 0.

[0076] If the goods are loose items, only the number of loose items received will be updated. The number can be increased on the original basis according to the number of items scanned.

[0077] Figure 7 The following is a schematic diagram of a mobile terminal interface for entering a commodity into a warehouse in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7 The interface shown is displayed on the terminal device, which supports scanning product codes and box barcodes for shelving and warehousing.

[0078] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, before scanning the box barcode of the box-specification goods, the method further includes: checking whether the box-specification goods include the box barcode; if the box-specification goods do not include the box barcode, configuring a corresponding box barcode for each of the box-specification goods.

[0079] Specifically, the outer packaging of the box-type products of the merchant usually includes the corresponding box barcode, but if the outer packaging does not, then a value-added service of labeling can be provided. Specifically, when it is found that the box-type products do not include the box barcode, the merchant is notified, and the merchant issues a value-added service form for labeling. The system labels the products according to the value-added service form, that is, the corresponding box barcode is configured for the box-type products.

[0080] Based on the above method, it supports the use of the merchant's existing barcode on the outer box as a box specification management identification, avoiding the need for unified coding management when 2B box specifications are put into storage, reducing storage operations, reducing consumables and labor costs, and improving storage timeliness.

[0081] In step S104, the commodities to be stored are stored in the box mixed sorting storage area.

[0082] Specifically, when updating inventory information during warehousing, scanning the product code will result in the product being put on the shelf by piece, and scanning the box barcode will result in the product being put on the shelf by box. It is not necessary to check whether the current storage area is a box picking area or a zero picking area. In the box and zero mixed picking storage area, the product can be put on the shelf by piece or by box.

[0083] Therefore, based on the above method, both box-sized goods and loose goods can be stored in the box-mixed picking storage area, which supports the storage of both loose and whole box inventory in one storage location, reducing the picking area and confluence, thereby improving outbound efficiency.

[0084] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method further includes: in response to an inventory display request for a commodity, displaying the number of received boxes and the number of received loose pieces of the commodity.

[0085] Specifically, when displaying the inventory of goods in the warehouse, if the goods have box specifications and the current storage area is configured to support box specifications, the box specifications recorded in the inventory attribute are converted into the number of boxes for display, that is, the number of boxes received for the goods is displayed. If the inventory attribute box specification is empty, the box specification maintained by the SKU is used for conversion, that is, the number of loose pieces received for the goods is displayed. If the SKU has multiple box specifications, no conversion is performed.

[0086] Figure 8 The following schematically shows a commodity inventory data structure diagram in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the basic inventory is piece inventory, which is based on pieces. The stored data includes information such as product code, product name, owner code, product grade, storage location code, storage location inventory, etc. Then it is converted into box pallet inventory according to the packaging specifications of the box-shaped goods, such as packaging unit and packaging quantity. The box pallet inventory is also the packaging inventory, including information such as product code, packaging specification code, storage location, inventory, etc. For physical storage, the goods are classified into different storage areas, including box-shaped mixed picking areas, box-picking areas, and temporary storage areas. Among them, the box-shaped mixed picking area can store both loose goods and box-shaped goods at the same time. The box-picking area stores standard box-shaped products, and the storage area is used for temporary storage of goods.

[0087] It should be noted that in addition to inventory display, in inventory counting and replenishment operations, logical conversion can also be performed into several boxes and pieces based on the number of pieces to be processed and the commodity box specification information. It also supports the recognition of single-piece commodity codes and box specification barcodes when scanning commodities.

[0088] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method also includes: extracting the goods to be shipped and the quantity to be shipped based on the goods delivery order; determining the target storage location of the goods to be shipped in the box mixed picking storage area; when the goods to be shipped are box-standard goods, determining the number of boxes and the number of pieces to be shipped based on the quantity to be shipped, so as to pick the goods to be shipped from the target storage location according to the number of boxes and the number of pieces to be shipped; when the goods to be shipped are loose goods, picking the goods to be shipped from the target storage location according to the quantity to be shipped.

[0089] Fig. 9 The following is a schematic diagram of an interface of a product delivery order in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, the product delivery order includes service information, basic information, consignee information and product information. The basic information includes customer delivery order code, consignee, sales channel name, sales channel order number, sales channel order time and other information. For details, see Fig. 9 shown.

[0090] Specifically, when locating an order, the logic of the piece inventory is used for positioning processing, and the logic judgment of the box inventory is not performed, because the goods are stored in the box-to-piece mixed picking storage area. In this way, the box-to-piece inventory and scattered inventory of 2B can be seamlessly converted, avoiding the need to move from the box picking area to the piece picking area before unpacking. At the same time, the box-to-piece can be mixed, reducing the area of ​​the picking area and the confluence, and improving the efficiency of outbound delivery.

[0091] Fig.10 The following is a schematic diagram of a mobile terminal interface for product delivery in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig.10 As shown in the figure, when picking and checking and packing, the quantity to be picked and the commodity box specification information located in each picking storage location are logically converted into a number of boxes and pieces, such as Fig.10 The medium box size is converted to "2 boxes 7 pieces". It also supports the recognition of single piece barcodes and box size barcodes when scanning products.

[0092] Fig.11 The following is a schematic diagram of an interface for a product to be shipped out of a warehouse in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig.11 As shown, when goods are shipped out, it is also necessary to scan and verify the information. The scanning information supports scanning the box barcode to verify the number of boxes, and also supports scanning the product code to verify the number of pieces.

[0093] Fig.12 The flowchart of a box-zero mixed shear service in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Fig.12 There are mainly three stages: product information maintenance, product warehousing and product outbound delivery.

[0094] In the commodity information maintenance stage, in step S1201, the merchant or business service maintains the commodity box specification information in the FOP system, and in step S1202, the warehouse operation staff can view the commodity box specification information in the iWMS system.
