[0043] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0044] This application presents a method and apparatus for managing forecast batch orders, which solves the technical problem that it is difficult to manage batches of BC direct mail import orders and that it is impossible to monitor the status of the forecast batch process.

[0045] For easier understanding, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for managing forecast batch orders according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, specifically:

[0046] 101. Receive the first forecast batch order import instruction. The first forecast batch order import instruction carries platform information and order number information of at least one forecast order, as well as batch number information of the first forecast batch.

[0047] It should be noted that before creating the process monitoring information for the forecast batch, it is first necessary to receive the forecast batch order import instruction. The forecast batch order import instruction will include the platform information and order number information of the forecast order, as well as the batch number information of the forecast batch. The platform information and order number information of the forecast order are used to match the corresponding order data from the system.

[0048] 102. Based on the order import instruction for the first forecast batch, create process monitoring information for the first forecast batch. The process monitoring information includes the number of forecast orders included in the first forecast batch, the waiting time of the first forecast batch, the number of forecast orders included in the first forecast batch in the preset process node, and the import time of the first forecast batch. The waiting time of the first forecast batch is the current time minus the import time.

[0049] It should be noted that, based on the order import instruction for the forecast batch, process monitoring information for the forecast batch is created. This process monitoring information includes: the number of forecast orders included in the forecast batch (e.g., 100 orders); the import time of the forecast batch; the waiting time for the forecast batch (the waiting time is the current time minus the import time, and is the waiting time from the import of the forecast batch until the current time, assuming the total waybill number for that forecast batch has not been received); and the number of forecast orders included in the forecast batch in the preset process nodes. These preset process nodes include, but are not limited to, the OMS order receiving node, the three-document declaration node, the three-document declaration success node, the customs declaration node, and the customs declaration success node. Each preset process node will contain the number of forecast orders entering that node, with the specific status determined by the status value of the received forecast orders.

[0050] 103. Update the batch number information of the forecasted orders to be consistent with the first forecasted batch;

[0051] It should be noted that for the forecast orders in the forecast batch, the batch number information of the forecast orders will be updated to be consistent with the batch number information of the forecast batch.

[0052] 104. After receiving the master waybill number of the first forecast batch, update the master waybill number information of the first forecast batch in the process monitoring information of the first forecast batch and set the waiting time to zero.

[0053] It should be noted that after creating the process monitoring information for the forecast batch, upon receiving the master waybill number for that forecast batch, the master waybill number information in the process monitoring information for the forecast batch is updated, and the waiting time is set to zero.

[0054] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0055] If the waiting time for the first forecast batch exceeds the preset time threshold, an early warning will be issued by monitoring the waiting time in the process information of the first forecast batch.

[0056] It should be noted that, based on the waiting time, if the business order for the master waybill corresponding to the forecast batch has not been issued, the waiting time = current time - import time of the forecast batch. If the business order for the master waybill corresponding to the forecast batch has been issued, the waiting time is set to zero. If the waiting time is greater than the preset time threshold, a warning will be issued regarding the waiting time. This can be done by highlighting the "waiting time" or displaying it in a different color, or by sending an email warning.

[0057] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0058] Receive the second forecast batch order import instruction. The second forecast batch order import instruction carries the platform information and order number information of the forecast orders included in the first forecast batch, as well as the batch number information of the second forecast batch.

[0059] Based on the order import instructions for the second forecast batch, create process monitoring information for the second forecast batch;

[0060] Update the batch number information of the forecast orders included in the first forecast batch to be consistent with the second forecast batch, and at the same time update the process monitoring information of the first forecast batch.

[0061] It should be noted that if the second forecast batch contains forecast orders included in the first forecast batch, the batch number information of the forecast orders needs to be updated to the second forecast batch. At the same time, the status quantity value in the process monitoring information of the forecast orders in the first forecast batch should be subtracted asynchronously, and the status quantity value in the process monitoring information of the forecast orders in the second forecast batch should be increased.

[0062] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0063] Receive a forecast batch order addition instruction. The forecast batch order addition instruction carries platform information and order number information of at least one forecast order, as well as batch number information of the first forecast batch.

[0064] Update the process monitoring information for the first forecast batch based on the order addition instruction for the forecast batch.

[0065] It should be noted that within a forecast batch for which process monitoring information has already been created, forecast orders can be added to the forecast batch using the forecast batch order append command, simultaneously updating the status quantity value in the process monitoring information. When appending, it is necessary to verify whether the forecast batch has already submitted a master waybill number; if a master waybill number already exists, appending is not possible.

[0066] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0067] Receive the forecast batch order removal instruction. The forecast order removal instruction carries the forecast order to be removed and the batch number information of the third forecast batch to which the forecast order belongs.

[0068] Based on the order removal instruction of the forecast batch, after successful verification, update the process monitoring information of the third forecast batch to which the forecast order belongs.

[0069] It should be noted that in a forecast batch for which process monitoring information has already been created, a forecast order can be removed from the forecast batch using the forecast batch order removal command, and the process monitoring information for the forecast batch will be updated simultaneously. During removal, it is necessary to verify whether the forecast batch has already submitted a master waybill number. If a master waybill number already exists, removal cannot be performed.

[0070] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0071] Receive the order compensation instruction for the forecast batch, which contains the batch number information of the fourth forecast batch;

[0072] According to the order compensation instruction for the forecast batch, check whether there are any forecast orders containing only logistics information in the forecast orders included in the fourth forecast batch. If so, match the order data within the preset time period according to the logistics information, and synchronously update the matched order data to the forecast orders.

[0073] It should be noted that in the forecast batches for which process monitoring information has been created, there may be forecast orders that have not been matched with order data in advance. In this case, the forecast batch order compensation instruction will be used to check whether there are forecast orders in the forecast batch that only contain logistics information. If so, the order data in the system will be matched according to the logistics information and then synchronized to the forecast orders.
