[0021] Step S101, obtain freight work order information: obtain main order information, consignor information, consignee information, payment method information, settlement information, order creation information and order splitting information.

[0022] In one embodiment, the obtaining of the consignor information further includes: obtaining the consignor name, searching for the pre-stored consignor information corresponding to the consignor name in the pre-built consignor information database; if the information can be found, the corresponding pre-stored consignor information is used as the consignor information; if the information cannot be found, the subsequently obtained consignor information is added as a pre-stored consignor information to the consignor information database; after using the corresponding pre-stored consignor information as the consignor information, if a modification of other consignor information is obtained, the modification is updated to the consignor information database. Wherein, the consignor information includes: the consignor name and other consignor information; other consignor information includes: consignor address, consignor city, consignor country code, consignor zip code, consignor phone number, consignor fax and / or consignor code.

[0023] In one embodiment, the acquisition of consignee information further includes: acquiring the consignee name, searching for the pre-stored consignee information corresponding to the consignee name in the pre-built consignee information database; if the consignee information can be found, the corresponding pre-stored consignee information is used as the consignee information; if the consignee information cannot be found, the consignee information obtained subsequently is added as a pre-stored consignee information to the consignee information database; after the corresponding pre-stored consignee information is used as the consignee information, if the consignee's other information is modified, the modification is updated to the consignee information database. Wherein, the consignee information includes: the consignee name and the consignee's other information; the consignee's other information includes: the consignee's address, the consignee's city, the consignee's country code, the consignee's postal code, the consignee's telephone number, the consignee's fax number and / or the consignee's code.

[0024] Specifically, if you enter a specific name in the consignor name field, the consignor information related to the name will be automatically imported, and a message will be displayed indicating that the consignor information has been successfully entered. If the consignor's basic information has changed, you can modify it, and then save and update the consignor's information in the database. When you create consignor information for the first time, you can also automatically save the information. The consignee information has similar functions to the consignor information.

[0025] In one embodiment, the obtaining of split order information further includes: adding relevant information in the main order information to the main order related information of the split order information; wherein the split order information includes main order related information and split order related information.

[0026] In one embodiment, the master order information includes: master order number, departure station, destination station, number of pieces of cargo, gross weight of cargo, billable weight of cargo, cargo volume and / or carrier; the payment method information includes: agent information, operation agent information, agent city, payment method and / or main order product name; the settlement information includes: settlement weight, billable weight and / or order making agent; the order making information includes: order making time, order making location, order making person code and / or special cargo code; the master order related information includes: master order number, master order departure station, master order destination station, number of master order pieces and / or main order gross weight; the sub-order related information includes: sub-order number, sub-order departure station, sub-order destination station, number of sub-order pieces, sub-order gross weight, sub-order product name, consignor country code, consignor code, consignee country code, consignee code, consignor name, consignor name, consignor address, consignor zip code, consignor telephone number, consignee address, consignee telephone number and / or consignee zip code.

[0027] Step S102, constructing a configuration file: constructing an information format conversion configuration file based on air cargo standards.

[0028] Step S103, generating a message: based on the rules in the information format conversion configuration file, converting the master order information, consignor information, consignee information, payment method information, settlement information, order preparation information and sub-order information into a master order message file and a sub-order message file.

[0029] In one embodiment, the method further includes: if the information related to the split order is not obtained, converting the main order information, shipper information, consignee information, payment method information, settlement information and order preparation information into a main order message file based on the rules in the information format conversion configuration file; if at least one piece of the information related to the split order is obtained, converting the main order information, shipper information, consignee information, payment method information, settlement information, order preparation information and split order information into a main order message file and a split order message file based on the rules in the information format conversion configuration file; wherein, the number of the main order message file is one, the number of the split order message file is one, and the one split order message file contains the at least one piece of the information related to the split order.

[0030] Specifically, if there is no sub-order under the main order, that is, the user has entered the main order information, shipper information, consignee information, payment method information, settlement information and order preparation information, but there is no sub-order information, a folder named with the current date can be automatically generated in the corresponding path according to the configuration file, and a TXT document with the main order number and FWB as the title can be generated at the same time.

[0031] Specifically, the format of the master order message automatically generated according to the configuration file can be that if the consignee and consignor addresses exceed 30 characters in length, they are automatically wrapped at 30 characters. The configuration file can be in the file format required by the IATARP 1670 specification, defining the conversion rules of various information obtained.

[0032] Specifically, if there are sub-orders under the main order, after the user has entered the main order information, shipper information, consignee information, payment method information, settlement information and order preparation information, the user can continue to enter the sub-order information, and the information related to the main order in the sub-order will be automatically brought in. After entering a sub-order information, you can continue to enter it multiple times, and the relationship between the main order and the sub-order will be automatically associated. When all sub-orders are entered, a message containing the main order and the sub-orders will be automatically generated. The name format of the sub-order TXT file is the main order number plus FHL. Multiple sub-orders are saved in the same file, separated by blank lines.
