[0033] Exemplary method

[0034] As a first aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for managing cross-docking. Figure 1 The following shows a schematic flowchart of a method for managing cross-docking provided by an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the method for managing cross-docking includes the following steps:

[0035] S1: Generate cross-docking tasks to be executed in cross-docking according to the un-warehoused warehouse inbound orders and un-outbound warehouse outbound orders of the warehouse. The cross-docking tasks include cross-docking inbound information of cross-docking items and cross-docking outbound information matching the cross-docking inbound information. Cross-docking has a cross-docking inbound order and a cross-docking outbound order;

[0036] Specifically, the outbound orders of the warehouse include the following information: item name, specification, quantity, inbound time, inbound clerk, supplier, etc.

[0037] The warehouse outbound order of a warehouse usually includes the following information: item name, specification, quantity, outbound time, outbound staff, destination, etc.

[0038] An unwarehoused warehouse inbound order refers to the situation where the relevant inbound information of an item has been recorded on the warehouse inbound order, but the item has not actually been stored in the warehouse.

[0039] An unshipped warehouse outbound order refers to the situation where the outbound information of an item has been recorded on the warehouse outbound order, but the item has not actually been removed from the warehouse.

[0040] Specifically, a cross-docking task includes the cross-docking inbound information of cross-docking items and the cross-docking outbound information that matches the cross-docking inbound information.

[0041] In addition, cross-docking has a cross-docking inbound order and a cross-docking outbound order. The cross-docking inbound order of cross-docking usually includes the following information: item name, specification, quantity, outbound time, outbound staff, destination, etc. The cross-docking outbound order of cross-docking usually includes the following information: item name, specification, quantity, outbound time, outbound staff, destination, etc.

[0042] S2: Update the warehouse inbound order of the warehouse and the warehouse outbound order of the warehouse according to the cross-docking inbound order and the cross-docking outbound order;

[0043] After the cross-docking is constructed, the cross-docking outbound order and the cross-docking inbound order of cross-docking can be completed. Then, update the warehouse inbound order of the warehouse according to the cross-docking inbound order, that is, deduct the information of the items in the cross-docking inbound order from the warehouse inbound order of the warehouse.

[0044] Update the warehouse outbound order of the warehouse according to the cross-docking outbound order, that is, deduct the information of the items in the cross-docking outbound order from the warehouse outbound order of the warehouse.

[0045] After creating the cross-docking, the warehouse inbound order of the warehouse and the warehouse outbound order of the warehouse can be updated according to the cross-docking inbound order and the cross-docking outbound order of cross-docking.

[0046] After creating the cross-docking, match the cross-docking inbound order with the cross-docking outbound order in the cross-docking, and at least one cross-docking task to be executed can be matched. And display the cross-docking task on the page of the warehouse management system, so that the user can choose whether to execute the cross-docking task.

[0047] S3: According to the cross-docking request information created by the user, search for the first cross-docking task corresponding to the cross-docking request information in the cross-docking tasks. The first cross-docking task includes the first cross-docking inbound information and the first cross-docking outbound information;

[0048] After the cross-docking is created, the cross-docking tasks are also displayed on the page of the warehouse management system, and the user can select and create cross-docking tasks according to needs.

[0049] For example, when a user creates cross-docking request information, after the warehouse management system receives the cross-docking request information created by the user, it can search for the first cross-docking task that matches the cross-docking request information in the cross-docking tasks, and determine the first cross-docking inbound information and the first cross-docking outbound information of the first cross-docking task. That is, the warehouse management system assigns the first cross-docking task according to the cross-docking request information created by the user.

[0050] S4: Update the inventory information of the warehouse according to the first cross-docking inbound information and the first cross-docking outbound information. The inventory information includes warehouse inbound orders, warehouse outbound orders, and warehouse transaction detail sheets.

[0051] When the cross-docking task assignment in S3 is completed, the first cross-docking outbound information and the first cross-docking inbound information in the first cross-docking task can be determined.

[0052] Then, the inventory information of the warehouse can be updated according to the first cross-docking outbound information and the first cross-docking outbound information, that is, the warehouse inbound order of the warehouse and the outbound order of the warehouse are updated.

[0053] Update the warehouse transaction detail sheet according to the first cross-docking inbound information and the first cross-docking outbound information to record the transaction details for later query.

[0054] Even if the task is a cross-docking task, it is still recorded and saved in the inventory information of the warehouse for later viewing.

[0055] S5: When the recheck completion information is received, perform cross-docking outbound.

[0056] Specifically, the recheck completion information indicates that the items in the cross-docking inventory match the information of the first cross-docking task. For example, information such as the quantity of the cross-docking items matches the first cross-docking outbound information and the first cross-docking outbound information of the first cross-docking task.

[0057] After the warehouse management system assigns the first cross-docking task to the user, the staff manually rechecks the items in the cross-docking according to the first cross-docking inbound information and the first cross-docking outbound information in the first cross-docking task. After the verification is correct, the recheck completion information can be entered on the page of the warehouse management system. Then, after the warehouse management system receives the recheck completion information input by the user, it can perform the cross-docking outbound operation, that is, ship out the first cross-docking task to complete the transaction.

[0058] After performing the outbound of the first cross-docking task, it will also be noted as a cross-docking task on both the warehouse transaction detail sheet and the shipping order for easy traceability.

[0059] A cross-docking management method provided by the present invention sorts out the warehouse inbound order and the warehouse outbound order to create cross-docking, generates at least one cross-docking task to be executed in the cross-docking, and updates the warehouse inbound order and the warehouse outbound order according to the cross-docking inbound order and the cross-docking outbound order of the cross-docking to achieve deduction, so that neither the warehouse inbound order nor the warehouse outbound order contains any information about the cross-docking task. After the user creates a cross-docking task, the corresponding cross-docking task can be assigned in the cross-docking task, and the warehouse inbound order, the warehouse outbound order, and the warehouse transaction details are updated according to the cross-docking inbound information and the cross-docking outbound information of the cross-docking task. In the whole process of cross-docking management, whether constructing cross-docking or allocating cross-docking, the warehouse inbound order, the warehouse outbound order, and the warehouse transaction details are updated, that is, corresponding information records are available at any stage of the cross-docking task, which is convenient for later query and modification, realizes the synchronization of online information and offline operations in the cross-docking scenario, improves the safety, accuracy, and integrity of logistics, and improves the operation efficiency and reduces the error rate.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, the specific method for updating the inventory information of the warehouse, that is, S4 (updating the inventory information of the warehouse according to the first cross-docking inbound information and the first cross-docking outbound information) specifically includes the following steps:

[0061] S41: Automatically perform the receiving operation on the cross-docking items corresponding to the first cross-docking task, and update the warehouse inbound order of the warehouse based on the first cross-docking inbound information;

[0062] Specifically, the first cross-docking task is also one of the cross-docking tasks to be executed matched in S1. For the convenience of distinction, it is the first cross-docking task.

[0063] Since none of the cross-docking items corresponding to a cross-docking task in the cross-docking have been warehoused or outwarehoused, when the first cross-docking task is assigned to the user, the first cross-docking inbound information of the first cross-docking task is updated to the warehouse inbound order, that is, the inbound operation is performed on the cross-docking items corresponding to the first cross-docking task. At this time, the warehouse inbound order contains the inbound information of the cross-docking task, recording the information involved in the cross-docking task for later query.

[0064] S42: Perform the outwarehousing operation on the cross-docking items, and update the warehouse outbound order of the warehouse according to the first cross-docking outbound information;

[0065] Similarly, when the first cross-docking task is assigned to the user, the first cross-docking outbound information of the first cross-docking task is updated to the warehouse outbound order, that is, the outwarehousing operation is performed on the cross-docking items corresponding to the first cross-docking task. At this time, the warehouse outbound order contains the outbound information of the cross-docking task, recording the information involved in the cross-docking task for later query.

[0066] S43: Update the warehouse transaction details sheet of the warehouse according to the first cross-docking inbound information and the first cross-docking outbound information.

[0067] Update the warehouse transaction details sheet according to the first cross-docking inbound information and the first cross-docking outbound information.

[0068] That is, after the first cross-docking task is assigned to the user, the information related to the cross-docking task is recorded for later query.

[0069] Optionally, as Figure 3 shown, S41 (automatically perform the receiving operation on the cross-docking items corresponding to the first cross-docking task and update the warehouse inbound order of the warehouse based on the first cross-docking inbound information) specifically includes the following steps:

[0070] S411: Perform the shelving operation on the cross-docking items corresponding to the first cross-docking task and record the shelf information where the cross-docking items are located;

[0071] That is, shelve the cross-docking items corresponding to the first cross-docking task. This shelving is virtual shelving, not actually placing the cross-docking items on the corresponding shelves in the true sense. Just set a shelf information for the cross-docking items to enable the cross-docking items to perform the inbound operation, so as to facilitate the management and recording of the information at each stage of the cross-docking task.

[0072] S412: Move the cross-docking items to the cross-docking storage location;

[0073] That is, move the cross-docking items virtually set in the warehouse to the cross-docking storage location, that is, set a cross-docking storage location information for the cross-docking items in the cross-docking. That is, after the cross-docking items are enabled to perform the inbound operation, then move the cross-docking items to the cross-docking storage location to record the information of the cross-docking items at each stage.

[0074] S413: Update the warehouse inbound order of the warehouse according to the shelf information and the first cross-docking inbound information.

[0075] That is, update the cross-docking items that have undergone the inbound operation so that the cross-docking items corresponding in the warehouse inbound order have been in the warehouse.

[0076] After moving the cross-docking items from the warehouse to the cross-docking storage location, update the warehouse inbound order according to the shelf information and the first cross-docking inbound information, that is, update the inbound information of the cross-docking items to the warehouse inbound order so that the warehouse inbound order contains the inbound information of the cross-docking items, such as shelf information, item name, specification, quantity, inbound time, inbound operator, supplier, etc.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 4As shown, generate the cross-docking tasks to be executed, that is, S1 (generate the cross-docking tasks to be executed in cross-docking according to the unwarehoused warehouse receiving orders and unshipped warehouse shipping orders) specifically includes the following steps:

[0078] S11: Screen out the first receiving orders that have not been warehoused from the warehouse receiving orders in the warehouse;

[0079] Specifically, the unwarehoused items refer to the items that have been received but have not been placed on the corresponding shelves yet. At this time, the information of the unwarehoused items in the warehouse receiving orders can be determined according to whether there is shelf information in the warehouse receiving orders, and the information of the unwarehoused items is screened out from the warehouse receiving orders, and a first receiving order is sorted out.

[0080] S12: Screen out the second receiving orders with partial receipts from the warehouse receipts in the warehouse;

[0081] Specifically, partial receipt means that when the warehouse is the receiving party, there are still some items in an order that have not been received. That is, the information of the items that have not been received temporarily in the warehouse receipts is screened out, and a second receiving order is sorted out.

[0082] The items corresponding to the first receiving order and the second receiving order are all items that can be unwarehoused.

[0083] S13: Screen out the first shipping orders that have passed the preprocessing from the warehouse shipping orders in the warehouse;

[0084] Specifically, passing the preprocessing means that the shipping information of the items has passed the preprocessing, but the items have not been shipped yet.

[0085] S14: Screen out the second shipping orders in the distribution failure state from the warehouse shipping orders in the warehouse;

[0086] Specifically, the distribution failure state means that the items required in the warehouse shipping order cannot be found in the inventory information of the warehouse, resulting in the failure of item distribution. Therefore, the second shipping orders with distribution failures can be screened out from the warehouse shipping orders.

[0087] Both the first shipping order and the second shipping order correspond to the unshipped items in the warehouse shipping order.

[0088] S15: Match the first receiving order, the second receiving order with the first shipping order and the second shipping order to generate the cross-docking tasks to be executed.

[0089] Match the first receiving order, the second receiving order with the first shipping order and the second shipping order to generate the cross-docking tasks to be executed. The cross-docking tasks have cross-docking receipt information and cross-docking shipping information. That is, the items corresponding to the cross-docking tasks have receipt information and shipping information.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 5 shown, the specific update method for updating the warehouse inbound order and the warehouse outbound order according to the cross-docking inbound order and the cross-docking outbound order, that is, S2 (updating the warehouse inbound order and the warehouse outbound order of the warehouse according to the cross-docking inbound order and the cross-docking outbound order) specifically includes the following steps:

[0091] S21: Deduct the cross-docking inbound order from the warehouse inbound order of the warehouse to update the warehouse inbound order of the warehouse;

[0092] Specifically, deduct the relevant information of the items in the cross-docking inbound order from the warehouse inbound order, that is, delete the relevant information of the corresponding items in the cross-docking inbound order from the warehouse inbound order. That is to say, in this case, the relevant information of the items corresponding to the cross-docking inbound order does not exist in the updated warehouse inbound order.

[0093] S22: Deduct the cross-docking outbound order from the warehouse outbound order of the warehouse to update the warehouse outbound order of the warehouse; Specifically, deduct the relevant information of the items in the cross-docking outbound order from the warehouse outbound order, that is, delete the relevant information of the corresponding items in the cross-docking outbound order from the warehouse outbound order. That is to say, in this case, the relevant information of the items corresponding to the cross-docking inbound order does not exist in the updated warehouse outbound order.

[0094] S23: Record the quantity of items between the cross-docking inbound order and the cross-docking outbound order.

[0095] Specifically, record the quantity of items corresponding to the cross-docking inbound order and the quantity of items corresponding to the cross-docking outbound order for later statistics.

[0096] In an embodiment of the present invention, the cross-docking task can be executed after S1 - S5. However, during the execution of the cross-docking task, the user can cancel the cross-docking task at any time. Therefore, as Figure 6 shown, the cross-docking management method further includes the following steps:

[0097] S6: When receiving the cross-docking task cancellation information from the user, determine the second cross-docking task corresponding to the cross-docking task cancellation information;

[0098] Specifically, at any time between the creation of the cross-docking task and the execution of the cross-docking task, the user can cancel the cross-docking task operation. That is, when the user enters the cross-docking task cancellation information or clicks the cancel button on the page of the warehouse management system, the warehouse management system can receive the cross-docking task cancellation information. When receiving the cross-docking task cancellation information, it means that the user has cancelled the cross-docking task. At this time, determine the second cross-docking task corresponding to the cross-docking task cancellation information.

[0099] Among them, the second cross-docking task is also one of the to-be-executed cross-docking tasks matched in S1. For the convenience of distinction, it is the second cross-docking task.

[0100] S7: Update the inventory information of the warehouse according to the cross-docking order of the second cross-docking task.

[0101] Since the warehouse inbound order, the warehouse outbound order, and the warehouse transaction details are all updated when allocating and executing the second cross-docking task created by the user, that is, the inbound information of the items corresponding to the second cross-docking task is already included in the warehouse inbound order, and the outbound information of the items is also included in the warehouse outbound order.

[0102] Since the second cross-docking task is cancelled, the inventory information of the warehouse needs to be updated accordingly. For example, deduct the information of the items corresponding to the second cross-docking task from the warehouse inbound order, deduct the information of the items corresponding to the second cross-docking task from the warehouse outbound order, and delete the transaction information corresponding to the second cross-docking task from the warehouse transaction details.

[0103] Optionally, since the user can cancel the cross-docking task at different stages of the cross-docking task (i.e., when the cross-docking task is in different states), therefore, for cross-docking tasks in different states being cancelled, the specific update methods for updating the inventory information of the warehouse are also different, as follows:

[0104] (1) As Figure 7 shown, when the cross-docking task cancellation information is the first cancellation information, and the first cancellation information indicates that the state of the cross-docking task is partial receipt;

[0105] That is, when the warehouse is the receiving party, the items corresponding to the second cross-docking task are partially received, that is, there are still some items corresponding to the second cross-docking task not received, that is, the cross-docking task has not entered the picking stage. Then, at this time, if the second cross-docking task is cancelled, the specific update method for updating the inventory information, that is, S7 (update the inventory information of the warehouse according to the cross-docking order of the second cross-docking task), includes:

[0106] S71: Deduct the cross-docking inbound order of the second cross-docking task from the cross-docking inventory.

[0107] Specifically, since the second cross-docking task is cancelled, the cross-docking inbound order of the second cross-docking task is deducted from the corresponding cross-docking inventory, that is, the items corresponding to the second cross-docking task are removed from the cross-docking.

[0108] S72: Update the warehouse inbound order of the warehouse according to the cross-docking inbound order of the second cross-docking task.

[0109] Since the second cross-docking task is cancelled, the items corresponding to the second cross-docking task are removed from cross-docking, so that the items corresponding to the second cross-docking task are moved into the warehouse. However, due to partial or full receipt of the items, the warehouse receipt in the warehouse is directly updated according to the cross-docking receipt in the second cross-docking task, that is, the relevant information of the items corresponding to the second cross-docking task is added to the warehouse receipt.

[0110] (2) As Figure 8 shown, the cross-docking task cancellation information is the second cancellation information, and the second cancellation information indicates that the status of the cross-docking task is full receipt, that is, the items corresponding to the second cross-docking task have been fully received, that is, it has entered the picking stage. At this time, the second cross-docking task is cancelled. The specific update method for updating the inventory information, that is, S7 (updating the inventory information of the warehouse according to the cross-docking receipt of the second cross-docking task) further includes the following steps:

[0111] S73: Move the cross-docking outbound receipt of the second cross-docking task in the picking location to the cross-docking inventory to update the cross-docking inventory receipt;

[0112] That is, update the cross-docking inbound receipt and cross-docking outbound receipt of cross-docking.

[0113] S74: Update the warehouse outbound receipt of the warehouse according to the cross-docking outbound receipt of the second cross-docking task;

[0114] Since the cross-docking task has entered the picking stage, before the second cross-docking task is cancelled, the warehouse receipt and warehouse outbound receipt have been updated according to the second cross-docking outbound information and second cross-docking inbound information of the second cross-docking task.

[0115] In the picking stage, the second cross-docking task is cancelled, that is, the second cross-docking outbound information of the second cross-docking task is re-added to the warehouse outbound receipt, and the second cross-docking inbound information is re-added to the warehouse outbound receipt to facilitate recording details and processes.

[0116] S75: Update the transaction details according to the cross-docking outbound receipt and cross-docking inbound receipt of the second cross-docking task.

[0117] (3) As Figure 9 shown, the cross-docking task cancellation information is the third cancellation information, and the third cancellation information indicates that the status of the cross-docking task is the creation status, that is, the cross-docking task is cancelled when the user has just completed creating the second cross-docking task, or the cross-docking task is cancelled during the creation process. At this time, the second cross-docking has not performed any subsequent operations. At this time, the specific update method for updating the inventory information of the warehouse, that is, S7 (updating the inventory information of the warehouse according to the cross-docking receipt of the second cross-docking task) specifically includes the following steps:

[0118] S76: Update the warehouse outbound receipt of the warehouse according to the cross-docking outbound receipt of the second cross-docking;

[0119] S77: Update the warehouse receipt of the warehouse according to the cross-docking receipt of the second cross-docking task; and

[0120] S78: Update the transaction details according to the cross-docking shipment of the second cross-docking task.

[0121] In an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 10 shown, after S7 (updating the inventory information of the warehouse according to the cross-docking list of the second cross-docking task), the cross-docking management method further includes the following steps:

[0122] S8: Delete the cross-docking mark on the shipping order associated with the second cross-docking task.

[0123] When the second cross-docking task is cancelled, the cross-docking mark on the shipping order can be deleted.

[0124] As the second aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides a cross-docking management system, Figure 11 as shown in the working principle diagram of a cross-docking management system provided by the present invention, as Figure 11 shown, the cross-docking management system 1 includes:
