[0003] With the development of computer and internet technology, online shopping has become one of the main consumption methods for users. In order to ensure timely delivery of online shopping, merchants usually set up warehouses in multiple cities with convenient logistics or in cities where the products are produced, and distribute the products sold to these warehouses to reduce transportation costs and speed up delivery.

[0107] The principles and spirit of this disclosure will now be described with reference to several exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are given merely to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement this disclosure, and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure in any way. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make this disclosure more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0108] Those skilled in the art will recognize that embodiments of this disclosure can be implemented as a system, apparatus, device, method, or computer program product. Therefore, this disclosure can be specifically implemented in the following forms: entirely hardware, entirely software (including firmware, resident software, microcode, etc.), or a combination of hardware and software.

[0109] According to embodiments of this disclosure, a product compartmentation method, medium, apparatus, and computing device are proposed.

[0110] In this article, it is important to understand the following terms:

[0111] Sales channels refer to the pathways or routes through which a product is transferred from the producer to the consumer. They are commercial organizations composed of a series of interdependent entities. Brand-driven e-commerce platforms sell their products through multiple channels, generally categorized as B2B (business) distribution channels (B-end channels) and B2C (consumer) self-operated channels (C-end channels).

[0112] Warehouse Allocation: Based on the sales channel inventory distribution strategy, the allocation quantity of purchased products is calculated. Products are allocated in two dimensions: warehouses and sales channels. Vertically, they are placed in specific warehouses, and horizontally, they are assigned to several sales channels.

[0113] Warehouse allocation ratio: This involves statistically analyzing a product's sales data in warehouses over a specific period to calculate the product's sales percentage in each warehouse. It serves as a crucial basis for guiding reasonable warehouse allocation. More specifically, it can be divided into B2B channel warehouse allocation ratio and B2C channel warehouse allocation ratio.

[0114] Furthermore, the number of any elements in the accompanying drawings is for illustrative purposes only and not for limitation, and any naming is for distinction only and has no limiting meaning.

[0115] In addition, the data involved in this disclosure may be data authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties. The collection, dissemination and use of the data shall comply with the requirements of relevant national laws and regulations. The implementation methods / executives of this disclosure may be combined with each other.

[0116] The principles and spirit of this disclosure will be explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments. Invention Overview

[0118] The inventors have discovered that currently, two common methods are used for product warehousing: The first method involves sales personnel developing a warehousing plan based on experience before each product purchase. This plan clarifies which warehouses and quantities of purchased products will be allocated vertically, and which sales channels and quantities will be allocated horizontally. This allows for product warehousing after purchase based on the plan. The second method uses a shared inventory approach, distributing purchased products across the entire network of warehouses according to the C-end channel warehouse allocation ratio. Following a first-come, first-served principle, the sales channel that needs the goods first receives priority from the shared inventory. However, when distributing products to warehouses using the above methods, the rigor of manual processing cannot be guaranteed. B-end channels have high product demand and have contractual agreements with distribution channels, requiring sufficient inventory to be delivered. Using a single inventory and first-come-first-served principle can easily lead to insufficient supply to B-end channels. Furthermore, allocating products based on the warehouse distribution ratio of C-end channels without considering the warehouse distribution ratio of B-end channels can easily result in uneven inventory distribution after product distribution, leading to low accuracy.

[0119] To address the aforementioned issues, this disclosure provides a product warehousing method, medium, apparatus, and computing device. After purchasing target products based on a stock order, the method determines the first inventory level of the target product in each target sales channel and the second inventory level in each warehouse within each target sales channel by using the total inventory level of the target product in all warehouses, purchase order data, and the warehousing ratio of each warehouse within each target sales channel. Then, combining this with the existing inventory level of the target product in each warehouse, the target warehousing quantity for each target sales channel in each warehouse is determined. This replaces the manual warehousing process based on experience values, effectively ensuring the accuracy of warehousing processing from the perspective of full-network, full-channel inventory.

[0120] After introducing the basic principles of this disclosure, various non-limiting embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below.

[0121] Application Scenarios Overview

[0122] First refer to Figure 1 Examples of application scenarios for the solutions provided in this disclosure are given. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an application scenario provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as... Figure 1As shown, in this application scenario, the brand can purchase target products from OEM factories and / or the brand's own manufacturing plants based on a stock preparation order. This stock preparation order includes the total stock quantity, at least one target sales channel, and the stock preparation ratio in each target sales channel. When purchasing target products based on the stock preparation order, the brand can determine the target distribution quantity of the target products for each target sales channel in each warehouse based on the total inventory of the target products in all warehouses, purchase order data, the warehouse distribution ratio in each target sales channel, and the existing inventory in each warehouse. After purchasing the target products, the brand can distribute the target products to each warehouse sequentially according to the aforementioned target distribution quantity for storage.

[0123] It should be noted that the process of determining the target number of distribution warehouses can be achieved through the brand's computing device. This computing device can be a terminal device, such as a laptop or desktop computer, or it can be a server. This application embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this. In practical applications, whether the computing device is a terminal device or a server can be determined according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0124] Exemplary methods

[0125] The following is combined Figure 1 Application scenarios, refer to Figure 2 This description outlines a product distribution method based on exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the above application scenarios are shown only to facilitate understanding of the spirit and principles of the present disclosure, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in any way. Rather, the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to any applicable scenario.

[0126] First, the product distribution method will be introduced through specific examples.

[0127] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a product distribution method according to an embodiment of this disclosure. The method described in this embodiment can be applied to a computing device, which may be a server or a server cluster, etc. Figure 2 As shown, the method in this embodiment includes:

[0128] S201. Based on the total inventory of the target product in all warehouses and purchase order data, determine the initial inventory of the target product in each target sales channel.

[0129] In this step, the purchase order data includes the total inventory of the target product and the corresponding inventory ratio for each target sales channel. Since the purchase order data only includes data at the sales channel level and not at the warehouse level, and the warehouse level data is determined based on the distribution ratio of the target sales channel in each warehouse, it is necessary to combine the total inventory of the target product in all warehouses to determine the initial inventory level of the target product in each target sales channel.

[0130] Optionally, the purchase order data may also include the inventory quantity corresponding to each target sales channel. For example, the inventory quantity corresponding to each target sales channel can be calculated using the following formula:

[0131] ws k =ws×wp k Formula 1

[0132] Where ws is the total inventory of the target product, ws k For the inventory quantity corresponding to channel K, wp k The inventory ratio of the target product in channel K.

[0133] For example, the inventory ratio for each target sales channel is expressed by the following formula:

[0134]

[0135] Where n is the total number of target sales channels.

[0136] Optionally, since multiplying decimals can result in fractional amounts, the product needs to be rounded down and the fractional amount redistributed to the target sales channel with the highest inventory ratio. For example, assuming the calculated inventory ratios for channels 1, 2, and 3 are 0.1, 0.2, and 0.7 respectively, and the total inventory is 99, then the calculated inventory quantities for channels 1, 2, and 3 based on the inventory ratios of each target sales channel and the total inventory are 9.9, 19.8, and 69.3 respectively. Further, the inventory quantities for channels 1 and 2 need to be rounded down, and the fractional amounts redistributed to channel 3. That is, the processed inventory quantities for channels 1, 2, and 3 are 9, 19, and 71 respectively.

[0137] The first inventory level of the target product in each target sales channel is the inventory level of the target product in each target sales channel after the total inventory of the target product is divided into warehouses.

[0138] Optionally, the total inventory of the target product in all warehouses includes the quantity of the target product currently stored in all warehouses, as well as the initial warehouse allocation quantity of the target product in each warehouse, determined based on other packing orders with allocation times earlier than the current packing order. It should be understood that the warehouse allocation time is the time at which the initial warehouse allocation quantity is determined.

[0139] S202. For each target sales channel, determine the second inventory of the target product in each warehouse within the target sales channel based on the first inventory corresponding to the target sales channel and the distribution ratio of the target product in each warehouse within the target sales channel.

[0140] In this step, the distribution ratio of the target product in each warehouse within each target sales channel is determined based on historical sales data from warehouse outbound shipments. This historical sales data reflects the historical sales performance of the target product in each warehouse. Therefore, after determining the initial inventory level of the target product in each target sales channel, the secondary inventory level in each warehouse within that channel can be further determined based on the distribution ratio. This ensures that after the distribution process, each warehouse and each target sales channel can meet the sales demand for the target product, avoiding stockouts or product overstocking.

[0141] The second inventory level of the target product in each warehouse within the target sales channel is the inventory level of the target product in each warehouse within the target sales channel after the total stock of the target product has been divided into warehouses.

[0142] In one specific implementation, for each target sales channel, the first inventory level of the target sales channel can be multiplied by the distribution ratio of each warehouse within the target sales channel, and the product is the second inventory level of the target product in each warehouse within the target sales channel.

[0143] For example, the second inventory level of the target product in each warehouse within each target sales channel can be calculated using the following Formula 3:

[0144]

[0145] Among them, sp ki For the distribution ratio of warehouse i within channel k, wf k For channel K, the first inventory level, w ki Let i be the second inventory level in warehouse i within channel k.

[0146] It should be understood that since multiplying decimals can result in zeros, when zeros exist, the product needs to be rounded down and the zeros redistributed to the warehouse with the second largest inventory.

[0147] For example, the distribution ratio of each warehouse satisfies the following formula four:

[0148]

[0149] Where z is the total number of warehouses, and for each target sales channel, the sum of the distribution ratios of all warehouses within that target sales channel is 100%.

[0150] S203. For each warehouse, determine the initial distribution quantity of the target product in that warehouse based on the total stock preparation quantity, the second inventory quantity of that warehouse in each target sales channel, and the existing inventory quantity of that warehouse.

[0151] In this step, after determining the second inventory level, the quantity of target products to be distributed to each warehouse can be determined by combining the existing inventory levels in each warehouse. This is the initial warehouse allocation quantity.

[0152] The existing inventory includes the quantity of target products currently stored in the warehouse and the initial distribution quantity determined based on other stock orders. It should be understood that the distribution time of other stock orders is earlier than that of the current stock order, and the distribution time is the time when the initial distribution quantity of target products corresponding to each target sales channel in each warehouse is determined.

[0153] For example, the existing inventory of the target product in each warehouse satisfies the following formula five:

[0154]

[0155] Among them, wr i wr represents the existing inventory of the target product in warehouse i, and wr represents the total inventory of the target product in all warehouses.

[0156] S204. Based on the initial distribution quantity of each warehouse and the inventory ratio of each target sales channel, determine the target distribution quantity of each target product in each warehouse for each target sales channel.

[0157] In this step, after determining the initial distribution quantity for each warehouse, the target products in each warehouse can be divided from the channel perspective based on the inventory ratio of each target sales channel, thereby determining the target distribution quantity of the target products for each target sales channel in each warehouse.

[0158] Following this step, the total stock of target products can be distributed to the target sales channels of each warehouse for storage, based on the target distribution quantity mentioned above.

[0159] The product distribution method disclosed herein determines the first inventory level of the target product in each target sales channel based on the total inventory level of the target product in all warehouses and purchase order data. For each target sales channel, the second inventory level of the target product in each warehouse within that target sales channel is determined based on the first inventory level corresponding to that target sales channel and the distribution ratio of the target product in each warehouse within that target sales channel. For each warehouse, the initial distribution quantity of the target product in that warehouse is determined based on the total stock preparation quantity, the second inventory level of that warehouse within each target sales channel, and the existing inventory level of that warehouse. The target distribution quantity of the target product for each target sales channel in each warehouse is determined based on the initial distribution quantity for each warehouse and the stock preparation ratio for each target sales channel. Because this embodiment of the disclosure combines the existing inventory level of each warehouse, purchase order data, and historical sales data from warehouse outbound shipments, it determines the target distribution quantity of the target product for each target sales channel in each warehouse from both the sales channel and warehouse dimensions, thus effectively improving the accuracy of distribution processing.

[0160] Optionally, in some embodiments, S201 can also be performed by... Figure 3 To express. Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating a product warehousing method provided in another embodiment of this disclosure. (See flowchart for example.) Figure 3 As shown, S201 can also be achieved through the following steps:

[0161] S301. For each target sales channel, determine the third inventory level of the target sales channel based on the total inventory level, total stock level, and the sales lock-in quantity, stock level ratio, and sales ratio corresponding to the target sales channel.

[0162] In this embodiment, the target quantity of the target product can be determined based on the total inventory and total stock. Then, the target quantity of the target product is allocated to all sales channels with sales volume in sequence, and the first inventory volume allocated to each target sales channel is calculated.

[0163] For example, the sales ratio of each target sales channel satisfies the following formula six:

[0164]

[0165] Where t is the total number of sales channels, cp k The sales ratio for channel K.

[0166] Optionally, the sales ratio for each target sales channel can be determined based on the historical sales data of the target product's warehouse outbound shipments.

[0167] The sales lock-in quantity is the minimum number of products that the target product is configured in the target sales channel.

[0168] Optionally, the target product may be locked at the channel level to prevent it from being occupied by a shared inventory model. The sales lock quantity is the same as the locked quantity mentioned above. It should be understood that the sales lock quantity may also include the locked quantity of goods procured in transit from the target sales channel.

[0169] In one specific implementation, determining the third inventory level can be achieved through the following process:

[0170] For each target sales channel, determine the fourth inventory level of the target product in the target sales channel based on the total inventory level, the sales lock-in quantity corresponding to the target sales channel, and the inventory ratio; for each target sales channel, determine the fifth inventory level of the target product in the target sales channel based on the total inventory level, the total inventory level, and the sales ratio corresponding to the target sales channel; for each target sales channel, determine the largest quantity between the fourth and fifth inventory levels as the third inventory level of the target sales channel.

[0171] For example, the fourth inventory level of the target product in each of the aforementioned target sales channels can be calculated using the following Formula 7:

[0172] wa k =ws k +wlock k Formula 7

[0173] Among them, wa k wlock represents the fourth inventory level of the target product in channel K. k To lock in the sales volume of the target product in channel k.

[0174] For example, the total inventory and the total stock can be summed to determine the target quantity of the target product.

[0175] For example, the target quantity of the target product can be calculated using the following formula:

[0176] wi=wr+ws Formula 8

[0177] Where wi is the target quantity of the target product, wr is the total inventory of the target product in all warehouses, and ws is the total stock level.

[0178] For example, the target quantity is multiplied by the sales ratio corresponding to the target sales channel, and the product is the fifth inventory level of the target product in that target sales channel.

[0179] Optionally, if the product contains zeros, the product value is rounded down to the nearest integer. The rounded value is the fifth inventory level of the target product in the target sales channel.

[0180] For example, the third inventory level of the target product in each of the aforementioned target sales channels can be calculated using the following Formula Nine:

[0181]

[0182] Among them, wi k This represents the third inventory level of the target product in channel K. This represents the fifth inventory level of the target product in channel K.

[0183] S302. For each target sales channel, determine the first inventory level of the target sales channel based on the third inventory level, total inventory level, total stock level, and the first inventory level already determined in other target sales channels.

[0184] In one specific implementation, determining the initial inventory level can be achieved through the following process:

[0185] For each target sales channel, determine the remaining allocatable quantity of the target sales channel based on the total inventory, total stock, and the first inventory already determined in other target sales channels; and determine the minimum quantity among the third inventory and the remaining allocatable quantity as the first inventory of the target sales channel.

[0186] For example, the remaining allocatable amount can be calculated using the following formula:

[0187] wl k =wl 初始 -wf 其他 Formula 10

[0188] Among them, wl k WL represents the remaining allocatable quantity of the target product in channel K. 初始 wf is the initial remaining allocatable amount. 其他 This is the sum of the initial inventory levels already identified in other target sales channels.

[0189] The initial remaining allocatable quantity is the target quantity. For example, the initial remaining allocatable quantity can be expressed by the following formula (eleventh equation):

[0190] wl 初始 =wi Formula Eleven

[0191] For example, the initial inventory level of the target product in each target sales channel can be calculated using the following formula:

[0192] wf k =min(wl) k wi k ) Formula 12

[0193] Among them, wf kThe initial inventory level of the target product in channel k.

[0194] When confirming the initial inventory level of the target product in each target sales channel, the following conditions must be met:

[0195] a. If the remaining allocable quantity is insufficient, then the allocation of the first inventory quantity to the remaining unallocated sales channels shall be stopped.

[0196] b. If there is sufficient remaining allocation capacity and the remaining B-end channels have not been fully allocated, then continue to allocate to other B-end channels.

[0197] c. If there is sufficient remaining allocation and all B-end channels on the purchase order have been allocated, then the remaining amount will be allocated to the C-end self-operated sales channels and placed in the shared inventory.

[0198] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this disclosure take into account the reasonable division of inventory demand between B-end channels and C-end channels, thereby ensuring that inventory and channel dimensions are in a balanced state.

[0199] In the above embodiments, for each target sales channel, a third inventory level is determined based on the total inventory level, total stock level, and the sales lock-in quantity, stock level ratio, and sales ratio corresponding to the target sales channel. A first inventory level for the target sales channel is then determined based on the third inventory level, total inventory level, total stock level, and the first inventory level already determined in other target sales channels. This embodiment combines the sales lock-in quantity and the remaining allocable quantity to determine the first inventory level for each target sales channel, ensuring that the allocation of the first inventory level can meet the sales demand of that target sales channel, further improving the accuracy of warehouse allocation processing.

[0200] Optionally, in some embodiments, S203 can also be performed by... Figure 4 To express. Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating a product distribution method provided in yet another embodiment of this disclosure. (See attached flowchart.) Figure 4 As shown, S203 can also be achieved through the following steps:

[0201] S401. For each warehouse, calculate the sum of the second inventory levels of that warehouse across all target sales channels, and the first difference between this sum and the existing inventory levels. Determine this first difference as the stockout quantity of the target product in that warehouse.

[0202] For example, the sum of the second inventory levels in this warehouse across all target sales channels can be calculated using the following formula thirteen:

[0203]

[0204] Among them, s iFor example, the stockout quantity of the target product in each warehouse can be calculated by summing the second inventory quantity in all target sales channels for that warehouse, using the following formula fourteen:

[0205] l i =s i -wr i Formula Fourteen

[0206] Among them, l i For the stock shortage of the target product in the i warehouse, wr i This represents the existing inventory level in warehouse i.

[0207] It should be understood that if the stockout quantity is negative, it means that the warehouse is not out of stock and has sufficient stock, and there is no need to allocate the target product to the warehouse; if the stockout quantity of the warehouse is an integer, it means that the warehouse is out of stock and the target product needs to be allocated to the warehouse.

[0208] S402. For each warehouse, determine the initial distribution quantity of the target product in that warehouse based on the total stockout quantity, total stock quantity, and stockout quantity of all warehouses.

[0209] In practical applications, if some warehouses are not out of stock, or if the total stock shortage of all warehouses exceeds the total stock, the warehouses with stock shortages may not be able to fully share the target products of the total stock. Therefore, it is necessary to share the target products of the total stock according to the proportion of each warehouse's stock shortage to the total stock shortage.

[0210] The initial quantity of the target product in this warehouse can be determined through the following steps:

[0211] For each warehouse, calculate the ratio of the warehouse's stockout to the total stockout; based on this ratio and the total stockout, determine the initial distribution quantity of the target product in that warehouse.

[0212] For example, the total stockout can be calculated using the following formula fifteen:

[0213]

[0214] Where l represents the total shortage.

[0215] Specifically, determining the initial distribution quantity of the target product in the warehouse based on the ratio and the total inventory can be achieved as follows: for each warehouse, calculate the first product of the ratio and the total inventory, and determine the first product as the initial distribution quantity of the target product in that warehouse.

[0216] For example, the total stockout can be calculated using the following formula sixteen:

[0217]

[0218] Among them, ws i The initial quantity of the target product in warehouse i, where wp is the total inventory quantity.

[0219] It should be understood that when there are spares, these spares will be redistributed to the warehouse with the largest shortage.

[0220] In the above embodiments, for each warehouse, the sum of the second inventory levels in all target sales channels of that warehouse is calculated, and the first difference between this sum and the existing inventory level is determined. This first difference is defined as the stockout quantity of the target product in that warehouse. Based on the total stockout quantity, total stock level, and stockout quantity of each warehouse, the initial distribution quantity of the target product in that warehouse is determined. In this embodiment of the disclosure, considering that warehouses with stockouts cannot completely distribute the target products in the total stock level of the stock order, the distribution of the target products in the total stock level is based on the proportion of each warehouse's stockout quantity to the total stockout quantity, effectively ensuring the balance of the distribution process.

[0221] Optionally, in some embodiments, S203 can also be performed by... Figure 5 To express. Figure 5 A flowchart illustrating a product distribution method provided in yet another embodiment of this disclosure. (See attached flowchart.) Figure 5 As shown, S203 can also be achieved through the following steps:

[0222] S501. Determine the first sub-warehouse quantity of the target product in each warehouse based on the second inventory quantity, existing inventory quantity, and total stock quantity of the target product in each warehouse.

[0223] The specific implementation method and principle of this step can be found in [reference]. Figure 4 The embodiments shown are not described in detail here.

[0224] S502. For each warehouse, based on the loading capacity of the transport container, determine whether there are any unfilled transport containers required when transporting the target quantity of products in the first sub-warehouse.

[0225] To ensure the safety and neatness of the target products during transportation, they typically need to be pre-loaded into transport containers. The corresponding quantity of target products is then transported to each warehouse in units of these containers. In practice, considering packaging and transportation costs, the target products transported to each warehouse are preferably in whole-number containers. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether any containers are not full when transporting the first batch of target products to a warehouse, so that further processing can be carried out if any are not full.

[0226] In one possible implementation, the quantity of the first sub-warehouse can be divided by the loading capacity of the transport container. The integer part of the quotient is the number of full containers, and the remainder is the number of remaining target products that are not fully loaded. If there is a remainder, it means that the transport containers required to transport the quantity of the first sub-warehouse are not fully loaded; conversely, if there is no remainder, it means that the transport containers required to transport the quantity of the first sub-warehouse are not not fully loaded.

[0227] The loading capacity of the transport container is the maximum number of target products that the transport container can carry.

[0228] S503. For each warehouse, if there are cases where the target products of the first sub-warehouse quantity are not fully loaded when transporting them, then obtain the quantity of target products allocated to that warehouse that need to be loaded into the partially loaded containers.

[0229] Optionally, the quantity of target products allocated to the warehouse and required to be loaded into partially full containers is the remainder in S502.

[0230] S504. Based on the quantity of target products allocated to each warehouse that need to be loaded into boxes that are not full, obtain the total quantity of all target products that need to be loaded into boxes that are not full.

[0231] In one possible implementation, the quantities of target products allocated to each warehouse that need to be loaded into partially full containers can be summed up, and the sum is the total quantity of all target products that need to be loaded into partially full containers.

[0232] S505. Based on the total number of target products that need to be loaded into the unfilled containers and the loading capacity of the transport containers, redistribute all target products that need to be loaded into the unfilled containers to determine the second sub-warehouse quantity of the target products in each warehouse.

[0233] The second sub-warehouse quantity refers to the quantity of target products that are redistributed to each warehouse.

[0234] In one possible implementation, all target products that need to be loaded into the partially filled containers can be allocated to each warehouse in descending order of the first sub-warehouse quantity. The number of target products is the same as the loading capacity of the transport container. This process continues until all target products that need to be loaded into the partially filled containers have been allocated, thus obtaining the second sub-warehouse quantity of the target products in each warehouse.

[0235] Optionally, the same number of target products as the loading capacity of the transport container can be allocated to each warehouse in other orders, such as according to the order of warehouse number, random order, or allocation priority order corresponding to the location of the warehouse, etc. This disclosure does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0236] Optionally, when allocating the same number of target products as the loading capacity of the transport container to each warehouse in sequence for all target products that need to be loaded into the unfilled container, if the number of target products that need to be loaded into the unfilled container is less than the loading capacity of the transport container, then the remaining target products that need to be loaded into the unfilled container are allocated to the warehouse with the largest number of first sub-warehouses.

[0237] S506. Based on the first sub-warehouse quantity of the target product in each warehouse, the loading capacity of the transport container, and the second sub-warehouse quantity of the target product in each warehouse, obtain the initial sub-warehouse quantity of the target product in each warehouse.

[0238] Specifically, for each warehouse, the number of full boxes corresponding to that warehouse can be multiplied by the loading capacity of the transport container, and then the second sub-warehouse quantity of the target product in that warehouse can be added to determine the initial sub-warehouse quantity of the target product in that warehouse.

[0239] Next, a specific example will be used to explain this embodiment in detail.

[0240] For example, assuming it takes x products to fill a shipping container, the number of full containers can be determined using the following formula (17) when transporting the target quantity of the first sub-warehouse to each warehouse:

[0241]

[0242] Among them, wb i This represents the number of boxes in the full container.

[0243] Establish a zero-remainder allocation pool A, and place the remainders from Formula 17 into allocation pool A, awaiting re-allocation. For example, allocation pool A can satisfy the following Formula 18:

[0244] A i =A i-1 +ws i Formula 18

[0245] Based on this, the initial number of sub-accounts can be determined using the following formula:

[0246] q i =wb i ×x+x, if A>0 (Formula 19)

[0247] Where, q i This represents the initial quantity of the target product in the i-warehouse.

[0248] Meanwhile, the remaining amount of target products to be allocated in allocation pool A can be determined using the following formula:

[0249] A = Ax, until Aenough (Formula 20)

[0250] In the above embodiment, the loading capacity of the transport container determines whether there are any unfilled transport containers needed to transport the target products of the first sub-warehouse. If there are unfilled containers, all target products that need to be loaded into the unfilled containers are redistributed, which effectively reduces packaging material costs and transportation costs.

[0251] In some embodiments, S204 can also be transmitted via Figure 6 To express. Figure 6 A flowchart illustrating a product distribution method provided in yet another embodiment of this disclosure. (See attached flowchart.) Figure 6 As shown, S204 can also be achieved through the following steps:

[0252] S601. For each warehouse, calculate the second product of the initial sub-warehouse quantity of the warehouse and the inventory ratio of each target sales channel, and determine the third sub-warehouse quantity of each target sales channel in the warehouse.

[0253] For example, the quantity of third-tier sub-warehouses for each target sales channel in this warehouse can be calculated using the following formula twenty-one:

[0254]

[0255] Among them, c ki Let be the quantity of the third sub-warehouse of channel k in warehouse i.

[0256] S602. For each target sales channel, sum up the number of third sub-warehouses in each warehouse for that target sales channel.

[0257] For example, the sum of the number of third-tier warehouses in each warehouse of the target sales channel can be calculated using the following formula twenty-two:

[0258]

[0259] Among them, c k This represents the sum of the number of third-level sub-warehouses in each warehouse for channel k.

[0260] S603. For each target sales channel, determine the saturation level of the target sales channel based on the sum obtained from the cumulative processing and the corresponding inventory level of the target sales channel.

[0261] For example, the saturation level of each target sales channel can be calculated using the following formula twenty-three:

[0262] saturation k =c k -ws k Formula 23

[0263] Among them, saturation k Let k be the saturation level of channel k.

[0264] S604. Based on the saturation of each target sales channel, adjust the quantity of the third sub-warehouse corresponding to each target sales channel in the target warehouse to determine the quantity of the target sub-warehouse corresponding to each target sales channel in each warehouse.

[0265] Since multiplying by proportions can result in irregular fractions, for channel K, in order to ensure that the total quantity of the target product in all warehouses within channel K equals the stock quantity of channel K on the purchase order, it is necessary to first identify the same warehouse in different sales channels, namely the target warehouse, and then make adjustments to the quantity of the third warehouse in different channels of that target warehouse.

[0266] If the saturation level is less than 0, it means that the target sales channel is not saturated enough and the number of third-party warehouses on the target sales channel needs to be increased; if the saturation level is greater than 0, it means that the target sales channel is oversaturated and the number of third-party warehouses on the target sales channel needs to be reduced; if the saturation level is equal to 0, it means that the number of third-party warehouses on the target sales channel does not need to be adjusted.

[0267] In one possible implementation, in the target warehouse, if the saturation of any target sales channel is greater than a preset saturation, the number of third sub-warehouses for the target sales channel is reduced until the saturation of the target sales channel reaches the preset saturation; if the saturation of any target sales channel is less than the preset saturation, the number of third sub-warehouses for the target sales channel is increased until the saturation of the target sales channel reaches the preset saturation; the adjusted number of sub-warehouses in the target warehouse is determined as the target sub-warehouse number corresponding to each target sales channel in the target warehouse, and the number of third sub-warehouses for each target sales channel in other warehouses is determined as the target sub-warehouse number for each target sales channel in other warehouses.

[0268] Optionally, the target warehouse can be a warehouse randomly selected from the warehouses, a pre-set warehouse, or a warehouse determined according to preset rules (e.g., the warehouse with the largest total number of third-level sub-warehouses in each target sales channel). It can be determined according to the actual situation, and this disclosure embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on it.

[0269] Optionally, the method for adjusting the quantity of third-party warehouses corresponding to each target sales channel in the target warehouse can be represented by Table 1.

[0270] Table 1

[0271]

[0272] As shown in Table 1, the total third inventory levels of Channel 1, Channel 2, and Channel 3 at the sales channel level are insufficient to meet the inventory requirements of the purchase order, resulting in a saturation deviation. Warehouse 1 is designated as the target warehouse, and the third inventory levels are adjusted across different target sales channels within Warehouse 1 until the inventory requirements for the target sales channels on the purchase order are met.

[0273] In the above embodiments, the multiplication of proportions can result in irregular fractions, leading to discrepancies between the calculated quantity of third-level distribution points for the target sales channel and the inventory quantity for that channel on the purchase order. This embodiment of the present disclosure, after calculating the quantity of third-level distribution points for each target sales channel in each warehouse, combines this with the inventory quantity of that target sales channel to determine its saturation level. Based on the saturation level of each target sales channel, the quantity of third-level distribution points for that target sales channel in the target warehouse is adjusted. This determines the target quantity of distribution points for each target sales channel in each warehouse, ensuring the consistency between the total target quantity of distribution points for each target sales channel in each warehouse and the corresponding inventory quantity, thus improving the accuracy of distribution point processing.

[0274] Based on the above product distribution method, the following two specific examples will be used to illustrate the product distribution method in detail.

[0275] Example 1, Figure 7 A flowchart illustrating a product distribution method provided in yet another embodiment of this disclosure. (See attached flowchart.) Figure 7 As shown, the product's distribution method can also be achieved through the following steps:

[0276] First, preliminary data preparation is conducted. This includes determining the stock quantity of target products for each target sales channel in the purchase order, the existing inventory of target products in each warehouse, the sales lock-in quantity of target products in each target sales channel, the sales ratio of target products in each target sales channel, and the distribution ratio of warehouses within each target sales channel. Further, the initial inventory quantity of target products in each target sales channel and the secondary inventory quantity in each warehouse within each target sales channel are determined. Then, the stockout quantity in each warehouse is determined, and the initial distribution quantity of target products in each warehouse is determined. Finally, based on the warehouse consolidation logic, the initial distribution quantity of target products in each warehouse is determined, and the target distribution quantity of target products for each target sales channel in each warehouse is determined.

[0277] Example 2, Figure 8 A flowchart of a product distribution method provided in another embodiment of this disclosure.

[0278] like Figure 8 As shown, the product's distribution method can also be achieved through the following steps:

[0279] Based on the remaining allocable amount, determine whether it is sufficient to allocate to each target sales channel individually. If so, determine the allocation for each sales channel (e.g., Figure 8 The allocation is determined by the first inventory quantity corresponding to Channel 1, Channel t, and C-end channels, and the second inventory quantity corresponding to each warehouse within each target sales channel; if this is not possible, the allocation is stopped.

[0280] This disclosure constructs a product warehousing strategy based on the characteristics of channel inventory distribution. From the perspective of omnichannel inventory, it proactively considers the reasonable allocation of inventory needs between B-end and C-end channels, effectively promoting reasonable inventory distribution, improving inventory utilization, reducing the rate of cross-regional shipments, and minimizing inter-warehouse transfer costs caused by inventory imbalances. Simultaneously, it generates positive feedback, accumulating historical sales data at the channel and warehouse levels, and analyzing and calculating sales ratios and warehouse allocation ratios.
