Therefore, it should be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Similarly, for clarity and conciseness, the description of well-known functions and structures is omitted in the following description.

[0043] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the main process of a management method for a performance mode according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0044] Step S101: in response to receiving an order submission request from a user, obtaining a delivery method and an inventory entity corresponding to an item identifier included in the order submission request;

[0045] Step S102: Determine the delivery information corresponding to the order submission request according to the inventory entity and the delivery method, and send the delivery information to the user so that the user can determine the target delivery information according to the delivery information; the delivery information includes the delivery method and the delivery time corresponding to the delivery method;

[0046] Step S103: In response to receiving a settlement request sent by the user, the settlement request indicates the target delivery information, and sending the order to the target inventory entity corresponding to the target delivery information, so that the target inventory entity can fulfill the order.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present invention, the management method of the fulfillment mode can be applied to the fulfillment of orders in the e-commerce field to enhance the user's shopping experience.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present invention, firstly, an order submission request from a user is received, and the order submission request may include one or more item identifiers, and then for each item identifier, the shipping method and inventory subject corresponding to the item identifier are obtained. Before obtaining the shipping method and inventory subject corresponding to the item identifier included in the order submission request, the shipping method and inventory subject corresponding to the item identifier are configured, and the item identifier is respectively saved in the configuration information with the shipping method and inventory subject, so that the shipping method and inventory subject corresponding to the item identifier can be obtained from the configuration information according to the item identifier. The inventory subject corresponding to the item identifier is configured, and the inventory subject is the location where the merchant distributes the items, and the type of the inventory subject can be at least one of a store, a merchant warehouse, and a self-operated warehouse.

[0049] Among them, configuring the inventory entities corresponding to the item identifiers may also include: configuring the quantity of items with the item identifiers in each inventory entity, that is, configuring the inventory quantity of the items corresponding to the item identifiers in each inventory entity.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present invention, the delivery method can be selected from one of the following: delivery from stores only; delivery from warehouses only; delivery from merchant warehouses only; delivery from both stores and self-operated warehouses, with stores giving priority; delivery from both stores and self-operated warehouses, with self-operated warehouses giving priority; delivery from both stores and merchant warehouses, with stores giving priority; delivery from both stores and merchant warehouses, with merchant warehouses giving priority. Merchants can configure the delivery method corresponding to each item identifier according to actual needs.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present invention, the inventory entity corresponding to the item identification included in the order submission request can be obtained through preset conditions. If the inventory entity meets the preset conditions, it is determined that the inventory entity is the inventory entity corresponding to the item identification included in the order submission request. If the preset conditions are not met, the inventory entity is not the inventory entity corresponding to the item identification included in the order submission request.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present invention, the preset condition may be an inventory entity whose number of items of the item identifier, i.e., the inventory quantity is greater than 0, that is, if the inventory entity contains the item identifier, the inventory entity is regarded as the inventory entity corresponding to the item identifier.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present invention, the order submission request also includes the number of items corresponding to the item identifier. Before obtaining the inventory subject corresponding to the item identifier included in the order submission request, it also includes: determining that the number of items corresponding to the item identifier in the inventory subject is greater than or equal to the number of items corresponding to the item identifier in the order submission request. That is, the preset condition is that the inventory quantity of the item identifier in the inventory subject is greater than or equal to the number of items of the item identifier in the order submission request, that is, there can be multiple inventory subjects containing the item identifier. If the number of items of the item identifier in the inventory subject is less than the number of items of the item identifier in the order submission request, the inventory subject does not meet the preset condition, and the inventory subject is not the inventory subject corresponding to the item identifier included in the order submission request.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present invention, the order submission request also includes the user's delivery address. The preset condition may also be that the distance between the inventory entity and the delivery address is within a preset range, that is, after determining the inventory entity whose inventory quantity of the item identification is greater than or equal to the number of items identified by the item identification in the order submission request, the distance between the inventory entity and the delivery address is further calculated. If the distance is within the preset range, the inventory entity meets the preset condition, and the inventory entity is determined to be the inventory entity corresponding to the item identification included in the order submission request. If the distance is not within the preset range, the inventory entity does not meet the preset condition, and it is determined that the inventory entity is not the inventory entity corresponding to the item identification included in the order submission request.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present invention, there may be multiple inventory entities corresponding to the item identification included in the order request, and the types corresponding to the multiple inventory entities are different. The types corresponding to the inventory entities may be stores, merchant warehouses, or self-operated warehouses, that is, there are no inventory entities of the same type among the multiple inventory entities, that is, there are not two or more stores, merchant warehouses, or self-operated warehouses among the multiple inventory entities.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present invention, before determining the delivery information corresponding to the order submission request according to the inventory subject and the delivery method, it also includes: configuring the delivery method corresponding to the inventory subject. That is, the merchant can configure the delivery method of each inventory subject, wherein the delivery method can include short-distance intra-city delivery and long-distance express transportation, and the intra-city delivery and express transportation can be respectively handled by multiple carriers. Each inventory subject can be configured with one or more delivery methods.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the shipping method and inventory subject corresponding to the item identifier included in the order submission request, the delivery information corresponding to the order submission request can be determined based on the acquired shipping method and inventory subject. There may be multiple delivery information, and then the delivery information is sent to the user so that the user can select and determine the target delivery information from the multiple delivery information. Among them, the delivery information includes the delivery method and the delivery time corresponding to the delivery method. Similarly, the target delivery information includes the target delivery method and the delivery time corresponding to the target delivery method. The delivery time is the length of time from shipment to receipt.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present invention, default delivery information may be set, so that when the user does not select delivery information, the default delivery information may be used as the target delivery information selected by the user.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present invention, before determining the delivery information corresponding to the order submission request according to the inventory entity and the shipping method, it is determined that the number of items identified by the item in the inventory entity is greater than 0. If the number of items identified by the item in the inventory entity is equal to 0, the default delivery method, that is, the bottom-line delivery method, is used as the delivery method in the delivery information, and the corresponding delivery time efficiency is calculated according to the default delivery method, wherein the default delivery method is a pre-configured delivery method of the inventory entity when the item is identified as out of stock. The default delivery method can be express delivery, and the corresponding delivery time efficiency can be calculated according to the user's delivery address and preset rules.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present invention, the inventory entity includes multiple entities, the delivery method indicates a first delivery mode, and the order request also includes a delivery address corresponding to the item identifier, such as Figure 2 As shown, the delivery information corresponding to the order submission request is determined according to the inventory entity and the delivery method, including:

[0061] Step S201: selecting a first inventory entity from multiple inventory entities according to a first delivery mode;

[0062] Step S202: Determine the delivery information according to the first inventory entity, the delivery method corresponding to the first inventory entity, and the delivery address.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present invention, there may be multiple inventory entities corresponding to the item identifier included in the order submission request, such as the inventory entity may be store A and self-operated warehouse A, and the delivery method indicates the first delivery mode, which is the delivery method of a single inventory entity, and the first delivery mode is only store delivery or only self-operated warehouse delivery. If the first delivery mode is only store delivery, the inventory entity of the type of store among the multiple inventory entities is used as the first inventory entity, and the first inventory entity is the corresponding store, and the delivery method of the store is used as the delivery method in the delivery information, and the delivery time is calculated according to the address of the store and the delivery address to obtain the delivery information. Then, the delivery information is sent to the user, and the user selects the delivery information as the target delivery information, and sends the settlement request of the order. According to the target delivery information, the corresponding target inventory entity can be determined, and the order is issued to the target inventory entity, and the target inventory entity performs the contract.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present invention, the inventory entity includes multiple items, the delivery method indicates the second delivery mode, and the order request also includes a delivery address corresponding to the item identifier, such as Figure 3 As shown, the delivery information corresponding to the order submission request is determined according to the inventory entity and the delivery method, including:

[0065] Step S301: screening out a plurality of second inventory entities from a plurality of inventory entities according to a second delivery mode; the second delivery mode indicates the order of the plurality of second inventory entities;

[0066] Step S302: Determine the delivery information according to the order of the plurality of second inventory entities, the delivery methods and delivery addresses corresponding to the second inventory entities.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present invention, the inventory entities include multiple inventory entities, and the multiple inventory entities are of different types. For example, the multiple inventory entities are store A, self-operated warehouse A, and merchant warehouse A. The inventory quantity of the item in store A can be pre-configured to be 100, and the inventory quantity of the item in self-operated warehouse A can be pre-configured to be 10; the delivery method indicates the second delivery mode, and the second delivery mode is an inventory entity that can be shipped from multiple inventory entities and has priority delivery, such as being able to ship from stores and self-operated warehouses, and stores are given priority delivery, that is, multiple inventory entities have priority ordering. In this case, multiple second inventory entities can be screened out from multiple inventory entities, and the second inventory entity is an inventory entity corresponding to the second delivery mode, such as the inventory entity includes stores, self-operated warehouses, and commodity warehouses, and the second delivery mode is the above-mentioned delivery from stores and self-operated warehouses, and stores are given priority delivery, then the multiple second inventory entities are stores and self-operated warehouses, and the multiple second inventory entities are ranked as stores first, followed by self-operated warehouses. Then, the delivery information is determined according to the sorting of multiple second inventory entities, the delivery method and the delivery address of each second inventory entity. Since each second inventory entity can correspond to one or more delivery methods, a delivery method can be randomly selected as the delivery method corresponding to the second inventory entity in the delivery information. The delivery method corresponding to the second inventory entity in the delivery information can also be determined according to the distance between each second inventory entity and the delivery address, and the delivery time efficiency is calculated according to the delivery method and the distance. Then, the sorting of the second inventory entities is used as the sorting of the delivery method corresponding to each second inventory entity, and each delivery method and the delivery time efficiency corresponding to each delivery method are displayed. The delivery information can also include the delivery freight corresponding to the delivery method, and the delivery freight is displayed to the user together. The delivery information can also include the second inventory entity. For users to select target delivery information. For example, each delivery method, delivery time efficiency and delivery freight, as well as the corresponding second inventory entity and other information can be displayed to users in an orderly manner for users to choose. The user can choose the delivery method as same-city delivery and the delivery time as immediate delivery, and settle the order. After receiving the delivery method selected by the user as same-city delivery, it is determined that the items will be shipped and fulfilled by store A, and the order is sent to store A. After receiving the order, store A will produce it and notify the fulfillment system to deliver it to the user's delivery address.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present invention, delivery information is determined based on the sorting of multiple second inventory entities, the second delivery method and the delivery address, including: when there are at least two second inventory entities with the same second delivery method, deduplication processing is performed on the multiple second inventory entities with the same second delivery method based on the sorting of the multiple second inventory entities to determine the delivery information.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present invention, among the multiple second inventory entities, there may be two or more second inventory entities with the same corresponding delivery methods, such as express delivery for store A and self-operated warehouse A. In this case, the second inventory entities ranked later can be deduplicated according to the sorting of the multiple second inventory entities, and the delivery methods and delivery time efficiency of the second inventory entities ranked later are not displayed. If the second delivery mode is both store and self-operated warehouse, store is given priority, then the delivery methods displayed to the user are express delivery and store A, and self-operated warehouse A is not displayed. The user can choose to determine the target delivery information according to the displayed delivery information and submit a settlement request. After receiving the user's settlement request, the order is sent to the corresponding target inventory entity, that is, the second inventory entity, so that the target inventory entity can perform the order.

[0070] Figure 4 The figure is a flow chart of a management method of a fulfillment mode of an embodiment of the present invention. The method can be implemented by a merchant end system, a settlement system, an inventory middle-end system, a distribution system, a commodity middle-end system, an implementation system, and a production and terminal fulfillment system.

[0071] Merchants can set configuration information through the merchant-side system, including setting the delivery methods supported by the store, setting the inventory information of the product in the store or self-operated large factory, and setting the delivery methods supported by the product. The inventory information includes the inventory quantity. The inventory middle-office system can obtain the inventory entity of the product and the inventory information of each inventory entity from the merchant-side system; the distribution system can obtain the store's delivery method from the merchant-side system; the product middle-office system can obtain the method supported by the product from the merchant-side system;

[0072] The specific implementation process of the performance management method includes:

[0073] In the settlement system, the user submits the order after selecting the product and enters the order settlement page. Then the settlement system sends a request to the product middle-office system according to the product ID in the order submitted by the user, so as to obtain the delivery method corresponding to the product ID from the product middle-office system;

[0074] The settlement system sends a request to the inventory middle-office system according to the product ID to obtain the inventory information corresponding to the product ID from the inventory middle-office system. The inventory middle-office system can calculate the inventory entity that can support delivery according to the user's delivery address and send it to the settlement system;

[0075] After receiving the inventory information of the product returned by the inventory middle-end system, the settlement system sends the product's delivery method and inventory information to the distribution system to request the distribution system to obtain the distribution methods that the product can support;

[0076] The distribution system determines the distribution method based on the delivery method and inventory information, and returns it to the settlement system. When determining the distribution method, the distribution system obtains the product's delivery method and determines whether the inventory parameters are complete. If so, it calculates the distribution methods that the product can support. If not, it outputs the bottom-line distribution method. The inventory parameters may include the inventory quantity of the product identifier in the inventory subject. If the inventory parameters are complete, the inventory quantity is not 0, and if the inventory parameters are incomplete, the inventory quantity is 0. The inventory parameters also include the identifier of the inventory subject containing the product identifier, the identifier of the distribution center where the inventory subject is located, and other information. If all the information is not empty, it means that the inventory parameters are complete. Otherwise, it means that the inventory parameters are incomplete.

[0077] After receiving the delivery method result returned by the delivery system, the settlement system sends the inventory entity, delivery method and delivery address in the user order to the timeliness system;

[0078] The time efficiency system calculates the delivery time efficiency corresponding to the delivery method and returns the delivery time efficiency to the settlement system;

[0079] After receiving the delivery time, the settlement system displays various delivery methods and the delivery time and inventory entities corresponding to each delivery method to the user, so that the user can select the target delivery method and the corresponding target delivery time according to their own needs, and submit the order settlement request;

[0080] After the order settlement is completed, the settlement system sends the order completion information to the production and terminal fulfillment system so that the production and fulfillment system can fulfill the order, that is, send the order to the target inventory entity corresponding to the target delivery method so that the target inventory entity can fulfill the order.

[0081] For example, the merchant-side system configuration information: Store A supports the same-city express delivery method; Store A has product SKU1, and the delivery methods supported by SKU1 are both store delivery and self-operated warehouse delivery, with store delivery being given priority; The inventory of SKU1 in Store A is 100, and the inventory in self-operated warehouse A is 10;

[0082] The specific process of the management method of the fulfillment method includes: (1) the consumer selects SKU1 and enters the settlement page, filling in the user's delivery address and other information; (2) the settlement page requests the inventory to obtain the store A that can support the shipment of the product and the warehouse A that can support the shipment; (3) the settlement page passes the user's delivery address, the store A / warehouse A located in the inventory, the delivery methods supported by the product, namely store delivery and warehouse delivery, and store priority, to the distribution system. The distribution system judges based on the delivery method and outputs the delivery methods of same-city quick delivery from store A to the user's delivery address and express delivery from self-operated warehouse A to the user's delivery address respectively. According to the rule of store priority for the delivery method, the same-city quick delivery and express delivery are output in order and the entity to which the delivery method belongs is noted. The serial number of the same-city quick match is 1, and the entity it belongs to is store A; the serial number of the express delivery is 2, and the entity it belongs to is self-operated warehouse A; (4) After the settlement page receives the delivery information, it inputs the delivery information and product attributes into the timeliness system. The timeliness system calculates the timeliness of the corresponding store A or self-operated warehouse A according to the entity to which the delivery method belongs and outputs it; (5) The settlement page displays the timeliness, delivery method, freight and other information for consumers to choose, among which the same-city quick match will be selected by the system by default; (6) The consumer selects the same city as the delivery method and immediate delivery as the timeliness on the settlement page, and submits the order; (7) The settlement system checks that the delivery method selected for the order is the same-city quick match, determines that the product needs to be shipped and fulfilled by store A, and sends the order to store A; (8) Store A receives the order, produces it, and notifies the terminal fulfillment system to deliver it to the user's delivery address immediately.

[0083] For example, the merchant-side system configuration information: Store A supports express delivery; Store A has product SKU1, and SKU1 supports both store delivery and warehouse delivery, with self-operated warehouses being given priority; SKU1 has 100 items in stock at Store A and 10 items in stock at self-operated warehouse A;

[0084] The specific process of the management method of the fulfillment method includes: (1) the consumer selects SKU1 and enters the settlement page, filling in the user's delivery address and other information; (2) the settlement page requests the inventory to obtain the store A that can support the shipment of the product and the warehouse A that can support the shipment; (3) the settlement page passes the user's delivery address, the store A / warehouse A located in the inventory, and the delivery methods supported by the product, namely store delivery and large warehouse delivery, with large warehouse delivery given priority, to the distribution system. The distribution system judges based on the delivery method and outputs the delivery method from store A to the user's delivery address, which is express delivery, and the delivery method from warehouse A to the user's delivery address, which is express delivery. Both delivery methods belong to express delivery, but the delivery method of self-operated large warehouse is given priority, so the output delivery method is express delivery, which belongs to The subject is the self-operated warehouse; (4) After the settlement page receives the delivery information, it inputs the delivery information and product attributes into the timeliness system. The timeliness system calculates the timeliness of the corresponding self-operated warehouse A according to the subject to which the delivery method belongs and outputs it; (5) The settlement page displays the timeliness, delivery method, freight and other information for consumers to choose the timeliness (when there is only one delivery method, the delivery method is not selectable for consumers); (6) Consumers select the timeliness corresponding to express delivery on the settlement page and submit the order; (7) The settlement system checks that the delivery method selected for the order is express delivery, determines that the goods need to be shipped and fulfilled by self-operated warehouse A, and sends the order to self-operated warehouse A; (8) Self-operated warehouse A receives the order for production and notifies the terminal fulfillment system to immediately deliver it to the user's delivery address.

[0085] The management method of the fulfillment method of the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the user's order submission request, obtains the shipping method and inventory subject corresponding to the item identification included in the order submission request, and then determines the delivery information corresponding to the order submission request according to the inventory subject and the shipping method, so that the user can determine the target delivery information according to the delivery information, and after receiving the settlement request of the order, sends the order to the target inventory subject corresponding to the target delivery information, so that the target inventory subject performs the order fulfillment. This method determines the delivery information available for users to choose through the shipping method and inventory subject of the item identification configured by the merchant, so that the user can choose the target delivery information according to their own demands, realizes flexible and optional fulfillment methods, diversifies fulfillment methods, and improves user experience; and this method can carry out diversified distribution through the configuration of the inventory subject and shipping method of the item, reduces the backlog of merchant goods, reduces supply chain costs, and reduces the strong binding relationship between operational sales strategies and inventory distribution models.

[0086] According to another aspect of the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, a management device 500 for a fulfillment method is provided, including:

[0087] The acquisition module 501, in response to receiving an order submission request from a user, acquires a delivery method and an inventory entity corresponding to an item identifier included in the order submission request;

[0088] The determination module 502 determines the delivery information corresponding to the order submission request according to the inventory entity and the delivery method, and sends the delivery information to the user so that the user can determine the target delivery information according to the delivery information; the delivery information includes the delivery method and the delivery time corresponding to the delivery method;
