[0049] In this article, the number of any element in the accompanying drawings is for illustration rather than limitation, and any naming is only for distinction and does not have any limiting meaning.

[0050] The principles and spirit of the present disclosure will be elaborated in detail below with reference to several representative implementation manners of the present disclosure. Summary of the Invention

[0052] The inventor of the present disclosure has found that the solution of simultaneously shipping the main product and the associated products cannot avoid the malicious arbitrage behavior of a large number of people taking advantage of the associated products; the solution of driving the subsequent shipment of the associated products through a separate event after the main product is shipped lacks generality and scalability.

[0053] In view of the above, the basic idea of the present disclosure is as follows: to provide an order processing method, an order processing device, a computer-readable storage medium, and an electronic device. On the one hand, after pushing the main product order to the WMS (Warehouse Management System) for order fulfillment operations, and then determining the order push time for the associated product order based on the associated product delay operation rule, it can not only make the associated product perform order fulfillment operations after the main product, to a certain extent avoid malicious arbitrage behaviors of the associated product being exploited, reduce unnecessary costs and risks, but also establish an association relationship between the order fulfillment operations of the main product and the associated product, thereby avoiding the associated product order from being shelved or forgotten; on the other hand, since the associated product delay operation rule can be flexibly configured and adjusted according to different business requirements, thus, the present disclosure provides a general associated delivery solution that can dynamically expand the associated product delay operation rule at a low cost.

[0054] After introducing the basic principle of the present disclosure, the following specifically introduces various non-limiting implementation manners of the present disclosure.

[0055] Overview of Application Scenarios

[0056] It should be noted that the following application scenarios are only shown for the convenience of understanding the spirit and principle of the present disclosure, and the implementation manners of the present disclosure are not limited in this regard. On the contrary, the implementation manners of the present disclosure can be applied to any applicable scenario.

[0057] The implementation manners of the present disclosure support providing a general and extensible associated order fulfillment operation solution on the premise of avoiding malicious arbitrage behaviors. For example: after the user places an order for the target item, considering that there are associated products corresponding to the target item, thus, the associated product order can be created simultaneously. After that, the associated product order can be blocked first. After the main product order performs order fulfillment operations, then calculate the order push time for the associated product order based on the associated product delay operation rule, and push the associated product order to the warehouse management system for order fulfillment operations according to the order push time.

[0058] Exemplary Method

[0059] The exemplary implementation manner of the present disclosure first provides an order processing method.

[0060] Figure 1 The flowchart of the order processing method in the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The execution subject of this order processing method can be a server that processes orders.

[0061] Refer to Figure 1 , according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the order processing method includes the following steps:

[0062] Step S110: In response to receiving an order placement operation for a target item, create a main item order corresponding to the target item, and create an associated item order corresponding to the associated item that has a shipping association with the target item.

[0063] Step S120: After pushing the main item order to the warehouse management system to perform order fulfillment operations on the main item order through the warehouse management system, determine the order push time for the associated item order based on the associated item delay operation rule.

[0064] Step S130: Push the associated item order to the warehouse management system according to the order push time to perform order fulfillment operations on the associated item order through the warehouse management system.

[0065] Before explaining the above steps S110 - S130, it should be noted that the present disclosure can pre - formulate an overall order fulfillment operation plan. Specifically, formulating the overall order fulfillment operation plan can include two parts. One part is to set the order push timing of the main item order (i.e., when to push the main item order to the warehouse management system for order fulfillment operations), and the other part is to configure the associated item delay operation rule.

[0066] Exemplarily, the order push timing of the main item order can be: after creating the main item order, the creation time can be regarded as the order push time of the main item order. Thus, immediately drive the main item order from the "created state" to the "pending order push state", and push it to the warehouse management system for order fulfillment operations. After that, drive the status of the main item order to the "order pushed state".

[0067] When configuring the associated item delay operation rule, the present disclosure can configure different associated item delay operation rules for different order attributes. Exemplarily, any one of the associated item delay operation rules in the present disclosure can be expressed as:

[0068] Order attribute A -> {"deliveryRule": [{"type": 1, "bufferTime": 2},...]}

[0069] Among them, the order attribute can be the order attribute of the main product order, or it can also be the order attribute of the associated product order, which can be set according to the actual situation, and the present disclosure does not make special limitations thereon. The order attribute can include the order item type and / or the order placement channel. Among them, the order item type refers to the category of the items or services included in the order. Exemplarily, when the order includes physical items, the order item type can be, for example, electronic products, clothing, books, etc.; when the order includes virtual items, the order item type can be, for example, e-books, online course access rights, etc. The order placement channel refers to the method or platform used by the user to submit the order. Exemplarily, it can be an official website, a mobile application, a social media platform, a third-party e-commerce platform, etc., which can be set according to the actual situation, and the present disclosure does not make special limitations thereon;

[0070] The above type field represents the order push timing of the associated product order, which is determined by the status of the main product order. The status of the main product order can be the out-of-warehouse status or the shipped status, or it can also be the received status, which can be set according to the actual situation, and the present disclosure does not make special limitations thereon. Exemplarily, 1 can represent that the order push timing of the associated product order is: the main product order is in the out-of-warehouse status; 2 can represent that the order push timing of the associated product order is: the main product order is in the shipped status; 3 can represent that the order push timing of the associated product order is: the main product order is in the received status; "buffertime" represents the delayed delivery duration. Exemplarily, the time unit can be hours;

[0071] Therefore, the meaning represented by any of the above-mentioned associated product delay operation rules can be: for the order attribute A, after 2 hours of the main product order leaving the warehouse, calculate the order push time of the associated product, and perform the associated product fulfillment operation according to the order push time.

[0072] Since the order push timing and the delayed delivery duration of the above-mentioned associated product order can both be configured according to actual needs, the present disclosure can support the low-cost setting and adjustment of the associated product delay operation rules, thereby realizing a general and extensible associated product order fulfillment operation process.

[0073] After determining the above overall order fulfillment operation plan, the following steps S110 - S130 can be executed:

[0074] In step S110, in response to receiving an order placement operation for the target item, create a main product order corresponding to the target item, and create an associated product order corresponding to the associated product having a shipping association with the target item.

[0075] In this step, after receiving the order placement operation for the target item, a main item order corresponding to the target item can be created, and an associated item order corresponding to the associated item that has a shipping association with the target item can be created. At this time, both the main item order and the associated item order are in the "created state".

[0076] Among them, the target item can be at least one item that has been pre-bound with an associated item, and there is a shipping association between the associated item and the target item. Exemplarily, the associated item can be a gift, accessory, or installation tool attached to the target item, or an item that has an association with the shipping timing of the target item. For example, other items that need to be shipped within a specified duration after the target item is shipped.

[0077] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the user order created when receiving the order placement operation for the target item in an embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 2 shown:

[0078] When the target item includes main item 1 and main item 2, and the associated item includes gift item 1, the created user order can include main item order 1 and associated item order 1. Among them, the main item order can include main item 1 * purchase quantity and main item 2 * purchase quantity, and the shipping warehouse information of the main item order can be shipping warehouse A; the associated item order can include gift item 1 * number of gifts, the associated item order can correspond to an order label "associated item", and the shipping warehouse information of the associated item order can be shipping warehouse C.

[0079] It should be noted that based on the above overall order fulfillment operation plan, in order to avoid the situation where the associated item is shipped before the main item, after creating the associated item order corresponding to the associated item that has a binding relationship with the target item, the present disclosure can first perform a carding operation on the associated item order, where the carding operation refers to keeping the order status in the "created state" and not pushing it to the next state temporarily.

[0080] In step S120, after pushing the main item order to the warehouse management system for order fulfillment operations, calculate the order push time for the associated item order based on the associated item delay operation rule.

[0081] In this step, after creating the main item order corresponding to the target item, the main item order can be immediately pushed to the warehouse management system WMS for order fulfillment operations, and then, the order push time for the associated item order can be calculated based on the associated item delay operation rule.

[0082] Among them, the above-mentioned associated item delay operation rule can be determined based on the following method:

[0083] The order attributes of the main product order or associated product order can be obtained first. The order attributes may include the order item type and / or the order placement channel. After determining the order attributes, the mapping relationship between the order attributes and multiple preset associated product delay operation rules can be searched to match the above-mentioned associated product delay operation rules.

[0084] After that, reference can be made to Figure 3 , Figure 3 FIG. shows a schematic flow chart of how to calculate the order push time for an associated product order based on the associated product delay operation rules in an embodiment of the present disclosure, including steps S301 - S302:

[0085] In step S301, the order push timing for the associated product order and the delayed delivery duration for the associated product order are determined based on the associated product delay operation rules.

[0086] In this step, the above-mentioned matched associated product delay operation rules can be parsed to read out the order push timing for the associated product order and the delayed delivery duration for the associated product order from the associated product delay operation rules. Exemplarily, the read order push timing may be: the main product order is in the out-of-warehouse state, and the delayed delivery duration may be 3 hours.

[0087] Since the order push timing of the associated product order is determined by the status of the main product order, thus, after pushing the main product order to the warehouse management system for order fulfillment operations, the present disclosure can also obtain the status of the above-mentioned main product order. When the status of the main product order is obtained as the specified status (i.e., the out-of-warehouse state), the order push timing of the above-mentioned associated product order can be determined, and the first timestamp is recorded.

[0088] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 FIG. shows a schematic flow chart of how to obtain the status of the main product order in an embodiment of the present disclosure, including steps S401 - S402:

[0089] In step S401, the first status monitoring message returned by the warehouse management system is received, and the second status monitoring message returned by the order transportation system is received.

[0090] In this step, the first status monitoring message returned by the warehouse management system can be received, and the second status monitoring message returned by the order transportation system can be received. The above-mentioned first status monitoring message is used to reflect all status changes of the order from entering the warehouse management system to before leaving the warehouse, including but not limited to status updates in stages such as processing, packaging, and preparing for shipment. The second status monitoring message is responsible for tracking the status changes that occur during the process of the order from leaving the warehouse to finally reaching the user's hands and being confirmed and signed by the user, covering various nodes during transportation and delivery to the user.

[0091] In step S402, based on the first status monitoring message and / or the second status monitoring message, obtain the status of the main product order.

[0092] In this step, the status monitoring of the above-mentioned main product order can be realized by combining the first status monitoring message returned by the above-mentioned warehouse management system with the second status monitoring message returned by the order transportation system.

[0093] Then refer to Figure 3 , in step S302, based on the first timestamp at the order push timing and the delayed delivery duration, calculate the order push time for the associated product order.

[0094] In this step, the order push time for the associated product order can be calculated based on the first timestamp at the order push timing and the delayed delivery duration.

[0095] In an alternative implementation, the order push time for the above-mentioned associated product order can be calculated based on the following formula 1:

[0096] Tpush = Max(First Timestamp) + bufferTime Formula 1

[0097] Where, Tpush represents the second timestamp, that is, the order push time for the above-mentioned associated product order, Max represents the first timestamp when the status of the main product order reaches the specified status, and bufferTime represents the above-mentioned delayed delivery duration.

[0098] In another alternative implementation, a corresponding time weight coefficient can also be set for bufferTime in the above formula 1 according to actual needs, so as to determine a new delayed delivery duration based on the product of the time weight coefficient and bufferTime, and determine the order push time for the associated product order based on the cumulative value between the first timestamp and the new delayed delivery duration, which can be set according to actual situations, and the present disclosure does not make special limitations on this.

[0099] Then refer to Figure 1 , in step S130, push the associated product order to the warehouse management system for order fulfillment operations according to the order push time.

[0100] In this step, after calculating the order push time, the status of the associated product order can be advanced to the "pending order push status", and at the same time, the associated product order can be pushed to the warehouse management system for order fulfillment operations according to the order push time, and the status of the associated product order can be driven forward to the "order pushed status".

[0101] After that, based on the third status monitoring message returned by the warehouse management system and the fourth status monitoring message returned by the order transportation system, the status change of the associated product order can be monitored until the status of the associated product order is updated to the "signed status".

[0102] Thus, the present disclosure can perform order fulfillment operations on the associated product order after the main product order is updated to the out-of-warehouse status, shipped status, or signed status, and after the delayed delivery duration has passed, so as to ensure that the associated product is shipped after the main product and avoid malicious arbitrage of the associated product.

[0103] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of the order fulfillment state machine in an embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 5 shown:

[0104] Created status: After the user places an order for the target item, if there is an association between the target item and other items, or there are other attached items to the target item, such as a gift item, two types of orders can be created, one is the main product order and the other is the associated product order. At this time, both types of orders are in the "created status";

[0105] Pending order push status: For the main product order, the order can be pushed immediately after the order is created, that is, the order status is updated to the "pending order push status"; for the associated product order, a carding operation needs to be performed first. After that, after the main product order is pushed to the warehouse management system, the order push time of the associated product order can be calculated based on the associated product delayed operation rule. After calculating its order push time, the associated product order can be updated to the "pending order push status";

[0106] Order pushed status: When the order push time arrives, the order can be pushed to the warehouse management system for order fulfillment operations, and the order status is updated to the "order pushed status";

[0107] Shipped status: After the order is pushed to the warehouse management system WMS and undergoes warehouse picking - verification - packaging, it is handed over to the transportation system for distribution. At this time, the order status is updated to the "shipped status";

[0108] Signed status: One of the final states in the order processing flow, indicating that the item has been successfully delivered to the user.

[0109] By defining a general order fulfillment state machine, the present disclosure not only improves the efficiency and flexibility of order processing, but also effectively enhances user satisfaction, reduces operating costs, and is applicable to a wide range of scenarios such as e-commerce and retail industries. This mechanism provides a structured solution for complex order processing flows, ensuring that every step from order creation to delivery can be completed efficiently and accurately.

[0110] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of the overall process of the order processing method in an embodiment of the present disclosure, including steps S601 - S610:

[0111] In step S601, the user places an order;

[0112] In step S602, a main product order is created, an associated product order is created, and the associated product order is blocked;

[0113] In step S603, the order push time of the main product order = the order creation time;

[0114] In step S604, a timed task scans the main product order and pushes the main product order to the warehouse management system for order fulfillment operations;

[0115] In step S605, the warehouse management system message is monitored to determine that the order status is updated to the "shipped" status; then, in step S606, the express message is monitored to determine that the order status is updated to the "signed" status;

[0116] In addition, when the order push timing of the associated product order is: when the status of the main product is the shipped status, then after step S605, it can also jump to step S607 to calculate the order push time of the associated product;

[0117] In step S608, a timed task scans the associated product order and pushes the associated product order to the warehouse management system according to the order push time;

[0118] In step S609, the warehouse management system message is monitored to determine that the order status is updated to the "shipped" status;

[0119] In step S610, the express message is monitored to determine that the order status is updated to the "signed" status.

[0120] The present disclosure designs a general order fulfillment state machine and efficiently and flexibly extends it to the delivery fulfillment of associated products. The status of the main product order can drive the status of its related associated product orders, enabling the associated product orders to be fulfilled according to the delayed operation rules, effectively solving the problem of when to perform the fulfillment operation for associated products and avoiding potential risk control risks. This solution can also be simply and conveniently extended to the fulfillment operation scenarios of various orders such as periodic purchases.
