[0002] In the logistics industry, when a user issues a task to be processed to a logistics distribution party, the Warehouse Management System (WMS) will locate according to the item categories in the task and the required quantity of each item category to determine whether the inventory meets the required quantity in the task. If it meets, the inventory will be pre-occupied. With the expansion of business scenarios, for some item categories, there can be two outbound processing methods: allowing short-outbound and not allowing short-outbound. Therefore, the WMS system's positioning function has short-quantity positioning and non-short-quantity positioning.

[0044] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention. Additionally, it should be noted that for the convenience of description, only the parts related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, rather than all the structures.

[0045] Before introducing the technical solution, the application scenario can be described first. For example, in the scenario of out-of-stock location-based picking and outbound, when receiving the picking task for the item category, the item category in the picking task and the required quantity of each item category can be located, and it can be determined whether the stored quantity of items in the warehouse meets the required quantity, so as to perform outbound processing on the item category based on the located result. At this time, if out-of-stock location is used to locate and perform outbound processing on the item category, there may be a situation where warehouse managers are unaware whether the item category is out of stock or normally out of stock. Moreover, for item categories that do not allow out-of-stock, it is also impossible to intercept the picking task, resulting in difficulties in warehouse operation and affecting the user experience. At this time, the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present invention can be used to locate and intercept the picking task, and on the premise that it is determined that the item category allows out-of-stock, perform outbound processing on the item category. Among them, out-of-stock can be understood as the behavior of still performing outbound processing on the item under the condition that the quantity of outbound items does not meet the requirements. That is to say, in the case where any item category allows out-of-stock, if it is detected that the stored quantity of the item category is less than the required quantity, the stored items can be first processed for outbound. Exemplarily, if the stored quantity of item category A is 3 pieces and the required quantity is 5 pieces, when the outbound instruction for item category A is received as allowing out-of-stock, the 3 stored items can be processed for outbound, and the actual outbound quantity can be determined as 3 pieces.

[0046] Figure 1 It is a schematic flowchart of an item outbound method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the situation of controlling the outbound processing flow based on the actual outbound situation of the target item category under the system default out-of-stock. This method can be executed by an item outbound device, and this device can be implemented in the form of software and / or hardware. The hardware can be an electronic device, such as a mobile terminal, a PC, or a server, etc.

[0047] As Figure 1 shown, the method includes:

[0048] S110. Determine the outbound information to be processed corresponding to the target item category.

[0049] In this embodiment, the target item category may be an item category that needs to be processed for outbound based on the user's goods allocation requirements. The outbound information to be processed can be used to represent the outbound attributes of the target item category, or can be understood as information representing the specific storage situation of the target item category in the affiliated warehouse center. Optionally, the outbound information to be processed includes at least one of the target warehouse identifier to which the target item category belongs, the target item category identifier, the target item owner identifier, and the target storage grid identifier. Among them, the target warehouse identifier may be the identifier corresponding to the warehouse center storing the target item category. Exemplarily, the target warehouse identifier may be Warehouse A, Warehouse B, or Warehouse C, etc. The target item category identifier may be an identifier used to represent the category to which the target item category belongs. Exemplarily, if the category to which the target item category belongs is "Brand A shampoo", the target item category identifier may be the identifier corresponding to "Brand A shampoo". It should be noted that the target item category identifier may be set by the system based on preset rules or may be custom-set based on user requirements. The present invention embodiment does not make specific limitations on this. The target item owner identifier may be the identifier corresponding to the publisher of the target item, where the publisher may be an individual, a unit, a department, or a merchant, etc. The target storage grid identifier may be an identifier used to represent the specific storage location of the target item category in the affiliated warehouse. In practical applications, the warehouse center can be divided into multiple grid areas. When storing item categories, corresponding grid areas can be allocated according to the attribute information of the item category to be stored, and the coordinate information or area identifier of the allocated grid area can be used as the storage grid identifier to which the corresponding item category to be stored belongs. Correspondingly, the storage grid identifier corresponding to the target item category is the target storage grid identifier.

[0050] In practical applications, when positioning the specific storage location of the target item category in the warehouse, the warehouse center storing the target item category can be first determined based on the target warehouse identifier to which the target item category belongs. Further, the specific storage location of the target item category in the warehouse can be determined based on the target storage grid identifier to which the target item category belongs, so that the rapid positioning of the target item category can be achieved.

[0051] It should be noted that the outbound information to be processed may also include the quantity of stored items, and this item quantity may be the total quantity of the target item category stored in the warehouse.

[0052] In a specific implementation, the to-be-processed outbound information corresponding to the target item category can be determined based on a Warehouse Management System (WMS). Among them, the warehouse management system is a real-time computer software system, which can reasonably and efficiently manage information, resources, behaviors, inventory, and distribution operations according to the operating business rules and algorithms. Specifically, when the upstream system detects a trigger operation by the user for any item category, a picking task corresponding to the item category can be generated and sent to the warehouse management system. At this time, this item category can be used as the target item category. Further, when receiving the picking task corresponding to the target item category, the warehouse management information associated with the target item category stored in the warehouse management system can be retrieved, so that the to-be-processed outbound information corresponding to the target item category can be determined based on this warehouse management information.

[0053] S120. If the to-be-processed outbound information does not match the target outbound information of the target item category, the target item category is marked as an abnormal task.

[0054] Among them, the target outbound information can be the item outbound information generated based on user requirements. The target outbound information can include various types of information. Optionally, it can include the quantity of items required by the user or the user's required outbound time, etc. An abnormal task can be a task that the system cannot continue to execute automatically, that is, a task with an abnormal situation during the execution process. In this embodiment, the abnormal task can be a task with an abnormal situation during the outbound process of the item category.

[0055] In practical applications, when the warehouse management system receives the picking task corresponding to the target item category, the picking task can be parsed to obtain the target outbound information corresponding to the target item category. Further, after obtaining the to-be-processed outbound information corresponding to the target item category, the to-be-processed outbound information can be matched with the target outbound information to determine whether the to-be-processed outbound information matches the target outbound information. For example, whether the inventory quantity shown in the to-be-processed outbound information meets the quantity of goods required by the user shown in the target outbound information. If not, it can be determined that the execution of the picking task for the target item category fails, and the target item category is marked as an abnormal task.

[0056] Optionally, if the to-be-processed outbound information does not match the target outbound information of the target item category, marking the target item category as an abnormal task includes: if the quantity of stored items in the to-be-processed outbound information is less than the quantity of items required in the target outbound information, marking the target item category as an abnormal task.

[0057] In this embodiment, the quantity of stored items can be the current inventory quantity of the target item category. The quantity of required items can be the quantity of items demanded by the user for the target item category.

[0058] In a specific implementation, after determining the to-be-processed outbound information and the target outbound information corresponding to the target item category, the to-be-processed outbound information and the target outbound information can be parsed to determine the quantity of stored items in the to-be-processed outbound information and the quantity of required items in the target outbound information. Further, the quantity of stored items can be compared with the quantity of required items. If the quantity of stored items is less than the quantity of required items, it can be determined that the quantity of items stored in the warehouse for the target item category does not meet the replenishment demand of the user for the target item category, and the outbound process for the target item category cannot continue. At this time, the target item category can be marked as an abnormal task. Meanwhile, the detailed information of the abnormal task for the target item category (such as insufficient inventory of target item category A) can be fed back to the relevant staff, so that the relevant staff can learn about the outbound execution situation of the target item category based on the feedback information and take corresponding handling measures in a timely manner. Exemplarily, if the quantity of stored items of target item category A is 3 pieces and the quantity of required items is 5 pieces, then target item category A can be marked as an abnormal task.

[0059] The advantage of such a setting is that: based on the non-out-of-stock outbound logic, the outbound information of the target item category is preferentially judged to realize the control of the outbound process of the target item category by the warehouse management personnel, and the outbound abnormality rate of the target item category is reduced.

[0060] It should be noted that during the process of the system processing the replenishment tasks of different item categories, there may be a situation where multiple item categories are marked as abnormal tasks. To facilitate the management of all the determined abnormal tasks in the system and improve the processing efficiency of abnormal tasks, an abnormal task storage area can be set up in advance, so that after an abnormal task is determined, the abnormal task can be uniformly stored in this storage area, so that the relevant staff can perform subsequent processing on the abnormal tasks in this storage area.

[0061] It should be noted that if the quantity of stored items in the to-be-processed outbound information is not less than the quantity of required items in the target outbound information, the outbound process for the target item category can be carried out.

[0062] S130. If the received outbound instruction for the abnormal task is out-of-stock outbound, then based on the to-be-processed outbound information, determine the actual outbound information of the abnormal task, and perform the outbound process based on the actual outbound information.

[0063] In this embodiment, the outbound instruction can be a pre-written program code, which can be used to trigger the execution of the outbound process for exception tasks. Shortage outbound can be understood as an operation of first performing an outbound process on the currently stored items on the premise that the quantity of stored items is less than the required quantity of items. The actual outbound information can be information characterizing the actual outbound situation of the target item category. The actual outbound information can include various types of information. Optionally, it can include the actual quantity of outbound items of the target item category.

[0064] In this embodiment, an outbound management control for exception tasks can be pre-set on the display area corresponding to the exception tasks. It can include a shortage outbound control and a non-shortage outbound control. By detecting the triggering operation of the user on any outbound management control, an outbound instruction can be generated to perform subsequent processing on the corresponding exception task based on the outbound instruction.

[0065] In practical applications, when a triggering operation on the shortage outbound control for an exception task is detected, it can be determined that the outbound instruction for the exception task is a shortage outbound. Then, it can be considered that for the target item category corresponding to this exception task, when the quantity of stored items is less than the required quantity, the items stored in the warehouse center can be preferentially outbond first, and then the quantity of items that have not been outbond in the required quantity of items can be processed. At this time, the to-be-processed outbound information for the target item category corresponding to this exception task can be determined, and based on the various information included in the to-be-processed outbound information, the actual outbound information of the exception task can be determined, so that the exception task can continue to execute the outbound process based on the actual outbound information.

[0066] Optionally, determining the actual outbound information of the exception task based on the to-be-processed outbound information includes: determining the actual outbound quantity in the actual outbound information according to the quantity of stored items in the to-be-processed outbound information.

[0067] Among them, the actual outbound quantity can be the quantity of items actually undergoing the outbound process.

[0068] In practical applications, when the outbound instruction for an abnormal task is a short shipment outbound, in order to determine the quantity of items for which the abnormal task can be shipped out with a shortage, the outbound information to be processed for the target item category corresponding to the abnormal task can be determined. Based on the outbound information to be processed, the quantity of stored items for the target item category, that is, the current inventory quantity, can be determined. Furthermore, the quantity of stored items in the outbound information to be processed can be used as the actual outbound quantity in the actual outbound information for the abnormal task, and outbound processing can be performed based on the actual outbound information to achieve the full outbound of the current inventory of the target item category. The advantage of this setting is that for item categories that allow short shipment outbound, the items stored in the inventory can be given priority for outbound, so as to achieve the priority outbound processing of abnormal tasks that allow short shipment outbound, and improve the processing efficiency of abnormal tasks. Exemplarily, if the quantity of stored items in the outbound information to be processed for target item category A is 3 pieces, and the quantity of items required in the target outbound information is 5 pieces, when the outbound instruction for the abnormal task corresponding to target item category A is a short shipment outbound, it can be determined that the actual outbound quantity in the actual outbound information for this abnormal task is 3 pieces, and outbound processing can be performed on these 3 pieces of items.

[0069] It should be noted that when performing outbound processing based on the actual outbound information of the abnormal task, the current inventory items of the target item category corresponding to the abnormal task are given priority for outbound. At this time, in order to facilitate the warehouse management personnel to timely understand the execution situation of the abnormal task, the remaining outbound quantity of the abnormal task can be updated. At the same time, the item storage information of the item category corresponding to the abnormal task can also be detected, so that when it is detected that the corresponding item category is stored in the warehouse, outbound processing can be performed on this item category.

[0070] Based on this, on the basis of the above technical solutions, it further includes: updating the remaining outbound quantity of the abnormal task based on the actual outbound quantity, so as to perform outbound processing on the target item category based on the remaining outbound quantity.

[0071] In this embodiment, the remaining outbound quantity can be the remaining quantity of items that have not undergone outbound processing. The remaining outbound quantity can be the difference between the required quantity of items and the actual outbound quantity. Exemplarily, if the required quantity of items for the target item category is 5 pieces and the actual outbound quantity is 3 pieces, then the remaining outbound quantity of target item category A is 2 pieces.

[0072] In practical applications, after performing the outbound processing on the exception task based on the actual outbound quantity in the actual outbound information, the remaining outbound quantity of the exception task can be updated. At the same time, the remaining outbound quantity can be used as the required quantity of the corresponding target item category. Further, the stored quantity of the target item category can be detected. When it is detected that the stored quantity of the target item category has changed, outbound processing is performed on the target item category. And when it is detected that the outbound quantity of the target item category reaches the required quantity, the outbound distribution task of the target item category is ended. The advantage of such a setting is that it realizes the control of the execution status of the exception task by the warehouse management personnel, and at the same time, improves the outbound efficiency of the target item category that allows out-of-stock outbound.

[0073] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention determines the to-be-processed outbound information corresponding to the target item category. Further, if the to-be-processed outbound information does not match the target outbound information of the target item category, the target item category is marked as an exception task. Finally, if the received outbound instruction for the exception task is out-of-stock outbound, the actual outbound information of the exception task is determined based on the to-be-processed outbound information, and outbound processing is performed based on the actual outbound information. This solves the problems in the prior art that when performing outbound processing on the corresponding item category based on out-of-stock positioning, the warehouse management personnel have no perception of whether the item category is out-of-stock outbound or normal outbound, resulting in difficulties in warehouse operation, etc. It realizes real-time positioning control of the outbound processing process of each item category under the condition that the system defaults to allow out-of-stock outbound, so as to perform outbound processing on each item category based on its actual information, improves the operation efficiency inside the warehouse, and enhances the user experience.

[0074] Figure 2 It is a flowchart of an item outbound method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, it is also possible to determine whether there is an interception flag in the to-be-processed task to which the target item category belongs, so as to determine whether to perform an out-of-stock outbound interception operation on the to-be-processed task based on the interception flag. The specific implementation manner can refer to the technical solution of this embodiment. The same or corresponding technical terms as those in the above embodiment will not be elaborated here.

[0075] As Figure 2 shown, the method specifically includes the following steps:

[0076] S210. Determine the to-be-processed outbound information corresponding to the target item category.

[0077] S220. According to the to-be-processed outbound information and the pre-set configuration parameters, determine whether there is an interception flag in the to-be-processed task, so as to determine whether the to-be-processed outbound information matches the target outbound information based on the interception flag.

[0078] In this embodiment, the configuration parameter can be a pre-set parameter used to characterize the configuration of the interception identifier. Among them, the interception identifier can be an interception identifier used for directly performing out-of-stock operations. In practical applications, the out-of-stock operations of the system can be controlled through the interception identifier to determine whether out-of-stock is allowed for a certain item category before the out-of-stock process of the item category is carried out. The configuration parameter can include various parameters corresponding to the configured interception identifier. Optionally, it can include at least one of the warehouse identifier with an interception identifier, the owner identifier, the grid identifier, and the item category identifier. Among them, the warehouse identifier with an interception identifier can be the identifier corresponding to the warehouse center where the out-of-stock operation interception function is enabled; the owner identifier with an interception identifier can be the identifier corresponding to the owner where the out-of-stock operation interception function is enabled; the grid identifier with an interception identifier can be the identifier corresponding to the storage grid where the out-of-stock operation interception function is enabled; the item category identifier with an interception identifier can be the identifier corresponding to the item category where the out-of-stock operation interception function is enabled. In practical applications, it can be determined whether there is an interception identifier in the warehouse identifier of any warehouse center, and then it can be determined whether the out-of-stock operation interception function can be enabled for this warehouse center; similarly, it can be determined whether there is an interception identifier in the owner identifier of any owner, and then it can be determined whether the out-of-stock operation interception function is enabled for this owner; it can be determined whether there is an interception identifier in the grid identifier of any storage grid, and then it can be determined whether the out-of-stock operation interception function is enabled for this storage grid; it can be determined whether there is an interception identifier in the item category identifier of any item category, and then it can be determined whether the out-of-stock operation interception function is enabled for this item category.

[0079] It should be noted that the advantage of including the above multiple identifiers in the configuration parameter is that it can determine whether there is an interception identifier for the task to be processed from multiple aspects, so as to achieve the diversity of the configuration of the out-of-stock interception function, and further improve the controllability of the warehouse management personnel over the warehouse management system.

[0080] Among them, the task to be processed can be the task to which the target item category belongs, and at the same time, this task can be the distribution task of the target item category that needs to be processed. Correspondingly, the task attribute of the task to be processed can be understood as the task detail information of the task to be processed. The task attribute can include various information. Optionally, it can include at least one of the item category and the task owner.

[0081] In practical applications, after determining the to-be-processed outbound information corresponding to the target item category, to determine whether the shortage-outbound interception function is enabled for the task to which the target item category belongs, the pre-set interception flag configuration parameter can be obtained, and the configuration parameter is matched with the to-be-processed outbound information to determine whether there is an interception flag in each piece of information included in the to-be-processed outbound information. Specifically, it is determined whether there is an interception flag in the target warehouse identifier in the to-be-processed outbound information; or, it is determined whether there is an interception flag in the target item category identifier in the to-be-processed outbound information; or, it is determined whether there is an interception flag in the target item owner identifier in the to-be-processed outbound information; or, it is determined whether there is an interception flag in the target storage grid identifier in the to-be-processed outbound information. Further, based on the matching result of the to-be-processed outbound information and the configuration parameter, it is determined whether there is an interception flag in the to-be-processed task to which the target item category belongs. If so, it can be determined that shortage-outbound is not allowed during the first outbound positioning of the target item category. At this time, the target item category can be processed based on the non-shortage-outbound logic, and the quantity of the stored items in the to-be-processed outbound information can be matched with the quantity of the required items in the target outbound information to determine whether the to-be-processed outbound information matches the target outbound information.

[0082] S230. If the to-be-processed outbound information does not match the target outbound information of the target item category, the target item category is marked as an abnormal task.

[0083] Exemplarily, it can be combined with Figure 3 to illustrate the execution process of the item outbound method provided in this embodiment: 1. Receive the to-be-processed task, and start to locate the target item category in the to-be-processed task to determine the to-be-processed outbound information of the target item category; 2. Obtain the pre-set configuration parameter, and determine whether the shortage-outbound interception function is enabled in the to-be-processed task according to the to-be-processed outbound information and the configuration parameter. If so, execute step 3; if not, execute the default outbound process set in the system; 3. Execute the non-shortage positioning logic; 4. Determine whether the to-be-processed outbound information matches the target outbound information. If so, perform the outbound process on the target item category; if not, mark the target item category as an abnormal task and add it to the abnormal task pool.

[0084] S240. If the outbound instruction received for the abnormal task is shortage-outbound, the actual outbound information of the abnormal task is determined based on the to-be-processed outbound information, and the outbound process is performed based on the actual outbound information.

[0085] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention determines the to-be-processed outbound information corresponding to the target item category, and then determines whether there is an interception flag for the to-be-processed task according to the to-be-processed outbound information and the pre-set configuration parameters, so as to determine whether the to-be-processed outbound information matches the target outbound information based on the interception flag. Further, if the to-be-processed outbound information does not match the target outbound information of the target item category, the target item category is marked as an abnormal task. Finally, if the outbound instruction received for the abnormal task is a short-amount outbound, the actual outbound information of the abnormal task is determined based on the to-be-processed outbound information, and the outbound process is performed based on the actual outbound information, which solves the problems in the prior art that when performing outbound processing on the corresponding item category based on short-amount positioning, warehouse managers have no perception of whether the item category is short-amount outbound or normal outbound, resulting in difficulties in warehouse operation. It realizes the effect of intercepting the short-amount outbound operation when the system allows short-amount outbound, and performing corresponding outbound processing on each item category based on its actual information, effectively avoiding unnecessary user complaints, improving the operation efficiency inside the warehouse, and enhancing the user experience.

[0086] Figure 4 It is a flowchart of an item outbound method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the abnormal task can also be added to the abnormal task pool to manage each abnormal task based on the abnormal task pool and improve the execution efficiency of the abnormal task. The specific implementation manner can refer to the technical solution of this embodiment. Among them, the same or corresponding technical terms as those in the above embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0087] As Figure 4 shown, the method includes:

[0088] S310. Determine the to-be-processed outbound information corresponding to the target item category.

[0089] S320. If the to-be-processed outbound information does not match the target outbound information of the target item category, mark the target item category as an abnormal task.

[0090] S330. Add the abnormal task to the abnormal task pool in a preset format, and determine the outbound instruction of at least one abnormal task based on the triggering operation of at least one abnormal task in the abnormal task pool.

[0091] Among them, the preset format can be the display format of abnormal tasks pre-set in the abnormal task pool. The preset format can include various information of abnormal tasks. For example, the task type, task identifier, task deadline, affiliated item code, affiliated item name, quantity of abnormal items, abnormal type, abnormal description, and current processing status of the abnormal task, etc. The abnormal task pool can be understood as a collection of abnormal tasks, and all the abnormal tasks determined in the system can be aggregated in this collection. The abnormal task pool can also be used to view the detailed information of each abnormal task.

[0092] In this embodiment, after determining that the task of the target item category is an abnormal task, the task detail information corresponding to the abnormal task can be determined. Furthermore, based on the task detail information, the abnormal task can be added to the abnormal task pool according to the preset format, so that all the abnormal tasks determined in the system can be centrally managed. Further, an outbound processing control associated with the abnormal task can be developed in advance to generate an outbound instruction corresponding to the abnormal task when detecting a trigger operation of the outbound processing control of any abnormal task by the user, so as to realize the outbound processing of the abnormal task in response to the outbound instruction. Among them, the outbound processing control can include a shortage outbound control and a non-shortage outbound control.

[0093] Optionally, determining the outbound instructions of at least one abnormal task based on the trigger operation on at least one abnormal task in the abnormal task pool includes: when it is detected that the trigger operation on at least one abnormal task is a click on the shortage outbound control, determining that the outbound instruction of at least one abnormal task is a shortage outbound instruction; when it is detected that the trigger operation on at least one abnormal task is a click on the non-shortage outbound control, determining that the outbound instruction of at least one abnormal task is a non-shortage outbound instruction.

[0094] In this embodiment, a warehouse trigger control can be pre-developed in any display area of each abnormal task in the abnormal task pool. When it is detected that the user triggers an operation on any abnormal task, the warehouse processing method corresponding to the abnormal task can be displayed, that is, out-of-stock warehouse or non-out-of-stock warehouse. Moreover, these two warehouse processing methods can be displayed in the form of controls. Further, when it is detected that the user triggers an operation on the out-of-stock warehouse control, it can be determined that the warehouse instruction for the abnormal task is an out-of-stock warehouse instruction. When it is detected that the user triggers an operation on the non-out-of-stock warehouse control, it can be determined that the warehouse instruction for the abnormal task is a non-out-of-stock warehouse instruction; or, an out-of-stock warehouse control and a non-out-of-stock warehouse control can be pre-developed in any area of the abnormal task pool. When it is detected that the user selects any abnormal task and then triggers an operation on the out-of-stock warehouse control, it can be determined that the warehouse instruction for the abnormal task is an out-of-stock warehouse instruction. However, when it is detected that the user selects any abnormal task and then triggers an operation on the non-out-of-stock warehouse control, it can be determined that the warehouse instruction for the abnormal task is a non-out-of-stock warehouse instruction. It should be noted that multiple abnormal tasks can be selected simultaneously, and by clicking the out-of-stock warehouse control or the non-out-of-stock warehouse control, it can be determined that the warehouse instructions for these abnormal tasks are out-of-stock warehouse instructions or non-out-of-stock warehouse instructions, so as to realize the batch warehouse processing of abnormal tasks.

[0095] In practical applications, a control for displaying the abnormal task pool can be pre-developed in the warehouse management system. When it is detected that the user triggers an operation on the control, the abnormal task pool can be displayed on the display interface of the corresponding terminal device. At the same time, the abnormal task pool includes all the determined abnormal tasks. Further, when it is detected that the user's trigger operation on at least one abnormal task is to click the out-of-stock warehouse control, it can be determined that the warehouse instruction for at least one abnormal task is an out-of-stock warehouse instruction. Or, when it is detected that the user's trigger operation on at least one abnormal task is to click the non-out-of-stock warehouse control, it can be determined that the warehouse instruction for at least one abnormal task is a non-out-of-stock warehouse instruction. The advantage of such a setting is that it realizes the effect of controlling the warehouse process of each abnormal task in the abnormal task pool based on the actual situation, improves the operation efficiency inside the warehouse, and at the same time, improves the processing efficiency of abnormal tasks.

[0096] It should be noted that for an abnormal task with a non-out-of-stock warehouse instruction, it can be considered that the quantity of the stored items corresponding to the item category of the abnormal task does not meet the corresponding required quantity of items, and the operation of preferentially warehousing the stored items is not allowed. At this time, the detailed information of the abnormal task (such as the insufficient inventory of item category A) can be fed back to the task owner and a rejection order process can be performed, so that the task owner can know the receiving situation of the pending task according to the feedback information and take corresponding measures in time to improve the user experience.

[0097] S340. If the outbound instruction for an abnormal task is a short shipment outbound, determine the actual outbound information of the abnormal task based on the outbound information to be processed, and perform outbound processing based on the actual outbound information.

[0098] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, by determining the outbound information to be processed corresponding to the target item category, further, if the outbound information to be processed does not match the target outbound information of the target item category, mark the target item category as an abnormal task, add the abnormal task to the abnormal task pool in a preset format, so as to determine the outbound instructions for at least one abnormal task based on the triggering operation on at least one abnormal task in the abnormal task pool. Finally, if the outbound instruction for the abnormal task received is a short shipment outbound, determine the actual outbound information of the abnormal task based on the outbound information to be processed, and perform outbound processing based on the actual outbound information, which solves the problems in the prior art that when performing outbound processing on the corresponding item category based on short quantity positioning, warehouse managers are unaware whether the item category is a short shipment outbound or a normal outbound, resulting in difficulties in warehouse operation, etc., realizes the effect of controlling the outbound processing process of each abnormal task in the abnormal task pool, improves the operation efficiency inside the warehouse, and enhances the user experience.

[0099] Figure 5 It is a schematic structural diagram of an item outbound device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The device includes: an outbound information to be processed determination module 410, a target item category marking module 420, and an actual outbound information determination module 430.

[0100] Among them, the outbound information to be processed determination module 410 is used to determine the outbound information to be processed corresponding to the target item category;

[0101] The target item category marking module 420 is used to mark the target item category as an abnormal task if the outbound information to be processed does not match the target outbound information of the target item category;

[0102] The actual outbound information determination module 430 is used to determine the actual outbound information of the abnormal task based on the outbound information to be processed if the outbound instruction for the abnormal task received is a short shipment outbound, and perform outbound processing based on the actual outbound information.

[0103] Based on the above device, optionally, the outbound information to be processed includes at least one of the target warehousing identifier to which the target item category belongs, the target item category identifier, the target item owner identifier, and the target storage grid identifier;

[0104] Correspondingly, the device further includes: an interception identifier existence determination module.

[0105] An interception flag existence determination module is used to determine whether an interception flag exists for the to-be-processed outbound information according to the to-be-processed outbound information and pre-set configuration parameters after determining the to-be-processed outbound information, so as to determine whether the to-be-processed outbound information matches the target outbound information based on the interception flag.

[0106] Based on the above device, the configuration parameters include at least one of a warehouse identifier with an interception flag, an owner identifier, a grid identifier, and an item category identifier. Correspondingly, at least one of an item category and a task owner is included in the task attributes of the to-be-processed task.

[0107] Based on the above device, the target item category marking module 420 is specifically configured to mark the target item category as an abnormal task if the quantity of the stored items in the to-be-processed outbound information is less than the required quantity of items in the target outbound information.

[0108] Based on the above device, the device further includes: an outbound instruction determination module.

[0109] The outbound instruction determination module is used to add the abnormal task to the abnormal task pool in a preset format after determining the abnormal task, so as to determine the outbound instruction of at least one abnormal task based on a trigger operation on at least one abnormal task in the abnormal task pool.

[0110] Based on the above device, the outbound instruction determination module includes: a shortage outbound instruction determination unit and a non-shortage outbound instruction determination unit.

[0111] The shortage outbound instruction determination unit is used to determine that the outbound instruction of at least one abnormal task is a shortage outbound instruction when it is detected that the trigger operation on at least one abnormal task is a click on the shortage outbound control;

[0112] The non-shortage outbound instruction determination unit is used to determine that the outbound instruction of at least one abnormal task is a non-shortage outbound instruction when it is detected that the trigger operation on at least one abnormal task is a click on the non-shortage outbound control.

[0113] Based on the above device, the actual outbound information determination module 430 is specifically configured to determine the actual outbound quantity in the actual outbound information according to the quantity of the stored items in the to-be-processed outbound information.

[0114] Based on the above device, the device further includes: a remaining outbound quantity update module.

[0115] The remaining outbound quantity update module is used to update the remaining outbound quantity of the exception task based on the actual outbound quantity, so as to perform outbound processing on the target item category based on the remaining outbound quantity.

[0116] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention determines the outbound information to be processed corresponding to the target item category. Further, if the outbound information to be processed does not match the target outbound information of the target item category, the target item category is marked as an exception task. Finally, if the received outbound instruction for the exception task is a shortage outbound, the actual outbound information of the exception task is determined based on the outbound information to be processed, and outbound processing is performed based on the actual outbound information. This solves the problems in the prior art that when performing outbound processing on the corresponding item category based on shortage positioning, warehouse managers have no perception of whether the item category is a shortage outbound or a normal outbound, resulting in difficulties in warehouse operation. It realizes real-time positioning and control of the outbound processing process of each item category when the system defaults to allowing shortage outbound, so as to perform outbound processing based on the actual information of each item category, improves the operation efficiency inside the warehouse, and enhances the user experience.
