Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of data processing, and in particular to a method and system for measuring main and auxiliary quantities in a supply chain. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background art related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] With the rapid development of information technology, more and more organizations and companies are using supply chain systems for management. Traditional supply chains use a fixed primary and secondary unit of measurement for incoming and outgoing goods. New secondary units of measurement are not allowed during material use. For example, the primary unit of measurement for steel might be "tons," while the secondary units might be "kilograms" or "pieces." By using a fixed primary and secondary unit of measurement, errors caused by unit conversion can be reduced, ensuring the accuracy of inventory data.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned fixed combination of primary and secondary measurements for inbound and outbound warehousing also has some problems, such as:

[0005] (1) When materials are actually put into storage, there are different suppliers and different measurement units. When materials are shipped out, the main measurement quantity filled in by the system does not match the actual shipping packaging for materials with different packaging. For warehouse managers, they need to convert according to the actual packaging, which is inefficient. (2) Different warehouses store different materials. The same material may have multiple auxiliary measurement specifications. Shipping depends entirely on manual warehouse selection, which is inefficient and the system is not easy to use. Warehouse managers need to convert and find the warehouse location of the materials, which is very labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to address the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a supply chain primary and secondary measurement warehousing method, outbound method and system, which supports the automatic warehousing of materials with different auxiliary measurement units, solves the problem of low efficiency in selecting between multiple warehouses during outbound delivery, simplifies the material management process, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of data integration.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for metering and warehousing of primary and secondary components in a supply chain.

[0009] A supply chain main and auxiliary metering warehousing method includes the following processes:

[0010] Determine the primary unit of measurement for the material specified in the purchase order, and associate each primary unit of measurement with multiple secondary units of measurement for which conversion relationships have been established;

[0011] Determine whether a conversion relationship has been established between the secondary unit of measure of the material to be purchased and the primary unit of measure. If so, directly generate a purchase order in the "Create" state. If not, associate the secondary unit of measure with the primary unit of measure according to the preset conversion relationship. Based on the association result, generate a purchase order in the "Pending Maintenance" state. Once the preset conversion relationship is confirmed or modified, generate a purchase order in the "Create" state.

[0012] When the purchase order is executed, an arrival note is generated, and the material is put into storage according to the arrival note.

[0013] As a further limitation of the first aspect of the present invention, completing the warehousing of materials according to the arrival order includes:

[0014] Determine whether the material listed on the arrival note has a corresponding warehouse. If so, store the material directly in the corresponding warehouse. If not, add a new material warehouse definition. The newly added material warehouse definition includes the warehouse location and stored material information, and store the material in the newly defined material warehouse.

[0015] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for main and auxiliary metering and outbound delivery of a supply chain.

[0016] A method for primary and secondary metering outbound delivery of a supply chain includes the following processes:

[0018] The customer warehouse address is determined based on the customer information. If the customer's demand quantity corresponds to the secondary unit of measure, the system prioritizes determining whether materials matching the same secondary unit of measure are in stock and whether the quantity in stock meets the minimum demand quantity. If the materials are confirmed to be in stock and the quantity meets the demand, a shipment plan is created and executed.

[0019] As a further limitation of the second aspect of the present invention, determining whether the quantity in stock meets the minimum demand includes: the quantity in stock must be greater than or equal to the sum of the customer demand and the minimum holding quantity.

[0020] As a further limitation of the second aspect of the present invention, forming a dispatch plan includes:

[0021] If a single warehouse can meet the quantity requirement, a list of warehouses with sufficient inventory and the required shipment quantity will be determined. The addresses of each warehouse will be matched with the customer's warehouse address, with the warehouse closest to the customer's address being prioritized as the shipment solution.

[0022] If a single warehouse cannot meet the quantity requirements, the distances to multiple warehouses are added together for comparison, and the plan with the shortest total distance is determined as the delivery plan.

[0023] As a further limitation of the second aspect of the present invention, it supports screening warehouses within a specified geographical range to form a shipping plan.

[0024] In a third aspect, the present invention provides a supply chain primary and secondary metering warehousing system.

[0025] A supply chain main and auxiliary metering warehousing system, comprising:

[0026] The unit of measurement determination unit is configured to: determine a primary unit of measurement for a material specified in a purchase order, wherein each primary unit of measurement is associated with a plurality of secondary units of measurement for which conversion relationships are established;

[0027] The purchase order generating unit is configured to: determine whether a conversion relationship has been established between the secondary unit of measurement of the material to be purchased and the primary unit of measurement; if so, directly generate a purchase order in the order creation state; if not, associate the secondary unit of measurement of the material to be purchased with the primary unit of measurement according to a preset conversion relationship, generate a purchase order in the maintenance state based on the association result, and generate a purchase order in the order creation state after the preset conversion relationship is confirmed or modified;

[0028] The material arrival warehousing unit is configured to: generate an arrival note when the purchase order is executed, and complete the material warehousing according to the arrival note.

[0029] In a fourth aspect, the present invention provides a supply chain primary and secondary metering and outbound delivery system.

[0030] A supply chain primary and secondary metering and outbound delivery system, comprising:

[0031] The unit of measurement determining unit is configured to: use the supply chain primary and secondary measurement warehousing method according to the first aspect of the present invention to enter materials into the warehouse, and determine the primary unit of measurement and / or secondary unit of measurement of the materials in the warehouse;

[0032] The material outbound control unit is configured to: determine the customer's warehouse address based on customer information; if the customer's demand quantity is the quantity corresponding to the secondary unit of measurement, prioritize whether materials matching the same secondary unit of measurement are in stock, and whether the quantity in stock meets the minimum demand quantity; if the material is confirmed to be in stock and the quantity meets the demand, form an outbound plan and execute the outbound delivery.

[0033] In a fifth aspect, the present invention provides a computer device comprising: a processor and a computer-readable storage medium;

[0034] a processor adapted to execute a computer program;

[0035] A computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored therein, wherein when the computer program is executed by the processor, the method for warehousing the main and auxiliary meters of the supply chain as described in the first aspect of the present invention is implemented; or the method for warehousing the main and auxiliary meters of the supply chain as described in the second aspect of the present invention is implemented.

[0036] In a sixth aspect, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program is suitable for being loaded by a processor and executing the supply chain main and auxiliary metering warehousing method as described in the first aspect of the present invention; or, executing the supply chain main and auxiliary metering warehousing method as described in the second aspect of the present invention.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0038] 1. The present invention innovatively proposes a supply chain primary and secondary measurement warehousing method, which determines whether the secondary measurement unit of the material to be purchased has established a conversion relationship with the primary measurement unit, and identifies the secondary measurement unit to be evaluated before warehousing, ensuring that the conversion between different measurement units can be carried out seamlessly, avoiding inventory data deviations caused by conversion errors, improving the accuracy and efficiency of warehousing operations, reducing manual intervention and error rates, and thus supporting the automatic warehousing of materials with different secondary measurement units.

[0039] 2. The present invention automatically determines whether the materials stated on the arrival note have corresponding warehouses, realizes the automated processing of material warehousing, reduces manual intervention and error rate, and improves warehousing efficiency. When the materials have corresponding warehouses, they can be directly stored, ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of material storage. For materials that do not have corresponding warehouses on the arrival note, the process of adding new material warehouse definitions can be automatically triggered, and the warehousing needs of new materials can be flexibly responded to without manual creation of warehouse information. The newly added material warehouse definition includes the location of the warehouse and the stored material information, ensuring the integrity and accuracy of the warehouse information, and providing convenience for subsequent material management.

[0040] 3. The present invention innovatively designs a method for outbound delivery of main and auxiliary measurements in the supply chain, which automatically calculates the required auxiliary measurement quantity and calculates the optimal transportation route based on the address, ensuring the accuracy of data and the flexibility of outbound delivery. It acquires materials from different warehouses into a unified outbound delivery order function and forms a transport order at the same time, which facilitates docking and settlement with customers, reduces workload and cost, solves the problem of low efficiency in selecting between multiple warehouses during outbound delivery, reduces learning costs, simplifies the material management process, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of data integration.

[0041] 4. During the outbound delivery process, the present invention needs to determine whether the quantity in stock meets the minimum demand, including: the quantity in stock must be greater than or equal to the sum of the customer demand and the minimum holding quantity. This helps the company ensure that there is sufficient inventory to meet customer demand at all times and maintain a certain safety stock level to avoid delays or cancellations of customer orders due to insufficient inventory.

[0042] 5. When a single warehouse can meet the quantity demand, it can quickly determine the list of warehouses whose inventory quantity meets the demand, match the addresses of each warehouse with the customer warehouse address, and give priority to the warehouse closest to the customer address as the outbound delivery plan, thereby significantly shortening the outbound delivery time and improving the outbound delivery efficiency; when a single warehouse cannot meet the quantity demand, it can compare the sum of the distances of multiple warehouses and determine the plan with the shortest total distance as the outbound delivery plan. It can flexibly respond to complex demand situations, meet customer needs by integrating the resources of multiple warehouses, and enhance the flexibility and response speed of the supply chain.

[0043] 6. The present invention supports the screening of warehouses within a specified geographical range to form a delivery plan, which significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of warehouse selection, reduces logistics costs, and enhances customer satisfaction, enabling delivery operators to make choices based on specific circumstances.

[0044] Advantages of additional aspects of the present invention will be given in part in the following description and in part will be obvious from the following description, or will be learned through practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention and do not constitute improper limitations on the present invention.

[0050] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0051] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0052] In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof may be combined with each other.

[0053] Example 1:

[0054] As described in the background technology, traditional supply chain management systems generally enter inventory according to the primary quantity (i.e., the quantity corresponding to the primary unit of measurement) and the secondary quantity (i.e., the quantity corresponding to the secondary unit of measurement), and only support the default of one primary and one secondary. However, when purchasing materials, they may be purchased by box or bag. When actually shipped out, they are shipped out and loaded into trucks according to different secondary units of measurement. It is difficult to match the system with the actual shipment, and transportation is also manually planned.

[0055] In view of this, this implementation proposes a supply chain primary and secondary metering entry and exit method, which supports the entry of materials with different secondary meters for the same material. It also supports automatically obtaining the nearest warehouse based on the customer's warehouse location in combination with the exit quantity, and directly generates an exit order and transportation plan based on the secondary metering of the materials in the warehouse. Specifically, this implementation method integrates customer information, warehouse information, material information, and unit of measurement information into the supply chain system in accordance with specifications, and implements unified primary and secondary metering entry and exit management based on actual information. In addition, this implementation method requires the execution of processes such as customer information maintenance, warehouse information configuration, and material information configuration to support the synchronization of related information.

[0056] In this implementation, each warehouse has a pre-defined warehouse address, pre-set material information stored in the warehouse, pre-defined conversion relationships between the main and auxiliary measurements of materials, pre-set supplier address information, and improved transportation vehicle methods and information to ensure the integrity of the business chain. This method can improve the management and control efficiency of the supply chain system and reduce enterprise costs.

[0057] In this implementation, customer information needs to be configured, specifically including: configuring customer-related information, especially address information, such as the company's warehouse location; warehouse information also needs to be configured, including: configuring the materials stored in the warehouse and the warehouse location information; material information also needs to be configured, including: configuring the material's primary and secondary measurement units based on the material information, as well as the primary and secondary measurement conversion relationship, and supporting automatic synchronization; data synchronization also needs to be performed in this implementation, including: regularly querying company information (for example, through some company information query websites, regularly querying changed information), updating customer location information, or maintaining the locations of other warehouses.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, by standardizing the location information, primary unit of measurement, and secondary unit of measurement, it supports the calculation of inbound and outbound inventory, and finally forms the outbound order and transportation plan. Specifically, it includes the following processes:

[0059] S101: Configure customer information and enter the customer's actual information, such as the customer's name, address, and contact information.

[0060] S102: Configure the customer's warehouse address information, maintain the customer's warehouse address, and support recording longitude and latitude.

[0061] S103: Execute material definition, store basic material information in the supply chain, and support the judgment of "whether to enable primary and secondary measurement". When the primary and secondary measurement is enabled, the subsequent process is executed. If the primary and secondary measurement is not supported, the material is put into storage in the traditional way.

[0062] S104: Configure the unit of measurement, configure the minimum unit of measurement for the material, and check whether to enable it as needed; the data in S104 will be used in subsequent S105 and S106. If the minimum unit of measurement field is enabled, the data of the minimum unit of measurement can be obtained.

[0063] S105: Configure secondary units of measurement. Based on the material definition in S103 and the units of measurement in S104, configure the primary and secondary measurement relationship of the material (i.e., the relationship between the primary and secondary units of measurement). According to the material information, configure multiple secondary units of measurement information based on one primary unit of measurement (for example, "ton" as the primary unit of measurement, and kilograms, grams, pieces, etc. as secondary units of measurement) to facilitate subsequent distinction.

[0064] S106: Based on the secondary measurement unit configured in S105, configure the conversion quantity between the primary measurement unit and the secondary measurement unit, for example, 1 ton is 1000 kilograms.

[0065] S107: The e-commerce system is connected to the purchase order in the supply chain system. In the e-commerce mall, there are many auxiliary measurement units for purchased materials (for example, there may be kilograms, grams or tons). At this time, enter S108 for judgment.

[0066] S108: Determine whether the auxiliary measurement unit exists in S105. If so, proceed to S110; if not, proceed to S109.

[0067] S109: Add a secondary unit of measurement, return to S105, perform primary-secondary unit of measurement conversion for the newly added secondary unit of measurement (convert using a preset conversion relationship or select and confirm a conversion relationship after manual modification), and directly enter S110 after the conversion is completed.

[0068] S110: Combine the information of the primary unit of measurement and the information of the secondary unit of measurement to process the purchase order and proceed to S111.

[0069] S111: Generate a purchase order, which includes the name of the material and information about the primary or secondary unit of measurement, and then proceed to S112.

[0070] S112: After the purchase order is executed, an arrival note is generated to record the actual material information of the arrival and maintain the arrival quantity. After filling in the information, it can be automatically put into storage and enter S113.

[0071] S113: Determine whether the warehouse material information exists. If so, proceed to S114; if not, proceed to S123.

[0072] S114: Automatically match the corresponding warehouse, generate a warehouse entry order, and enter S115.

[0073] S115: Obtain the sales contract, determine the material information in the sales contract, and proceed to S116.

[0074] S116: Generate a sales order based on the customer information maintained in S102, fill in the quantity of materials to be shipped, and proceed to S117.

[0075] S117: Accessing the map API, ie, associating with the map for planning related transportation routes, and proceeding to S118.

[0076] S118: Based on the filled-in outbound material quantity, if no warehouse list is specified, the warehouse address is obtained based on the relationship between the material and the warehouse or the actual inventory. Then, the customer warehouse address is obtained based on the customer information. By comparing the outbound quantity, if it is a secondary quantity (i.e., the quantity determined by the secondary unit of measurement), priority is given to matching whether the material with the same secondary quantity is in stock, whether the on-stock quantity is sufficient, and whether the minimum inventory of the warehouse can be met after outbound. The warehouse list and outbound quantity (i.e., the quantity that each warehouse can outbound) that meet the above conditions are pulled. Then, the warehouse address of our company and the customer address are matched. According to the matching results of the secondary quantity materials, the matching is carried out in order, and the warehouse closest to the customer address is matched first.

[0077] In this implementation, the highest priority is to match the closest warehouse to our warehouse that meets the material requirements. If a single warehouse cannot meet the requirements, the total distances to multiple warehouses are compared to find the solution with the shortest distances and the fewest warehouses. Furthermore, this implementation allows warehouse managers to manually select a specific range of warehouses and match the optimal warehouse within the selected range.

[0078] After obtaining the final delivery plan, enter S119.

[0079] S119: Determine whether to adopt the currently selected delivery plan. If so, proceed to S121; if not, proceed to S120.

[0080] S120: Return to S118 and regenerate the delivery plan;

[0081] S121: When a delivery plan is selected, the remaining delivery orders are invalidated, the delivery plan is selected, the delivery order is generated, and the process goes to S122;

[0082] S122: Based on the delivery plan, a corresponding transportation plan is generated according to the address and transportation method. The plan records the city route and transportation method for each warehouse to the customer or recipient, and estimates the transportation cost. If the generated transportation plan does not meet the transportation requirements, you can return to S120 to regenerate the delivery plan or manually modify the delivery plan;

[0083] S123: Add a new warehouse definition, that is, add a corresponding relationship between a warehouse and a new material, and enter S124;

[0084] S124: Define the warehouse, for example, if a warehouse stores a certain material, go to S125;

[0085] S125: Define the warehouse location, that is, determine the location of a warehouse where a certain material is stored, and then proceed to S126;

[0086] S126: Generate warehouse material information and enter S118.

[0087] In summary, the present invention realizes the unified management of materials, conforms to actual management, avoids the cross-regional transportation of materials, reduces the outbound cost, and improves the outbound efficiency.

[0088] Example 2:

[0089] like Figure 2 As shown, this implementation provides a supply chain primary and secondary metering warehousing system, including:

[0090] The unit of measurement determination unit is configured to: determine a primary unit of measurement for a material specified in a purchase order, wherein each primary unit of measurement is associated with a plurality of secondary units of measurement for which conversion relationships are established;

[0091] The purchase order generating unit is configured to: determine whether a conversion relationship has been established between the secondary unit of measurement of the material to be purchased and the primary unit of measurement; if so, directly generate a purchase order in the order creation state; if not, associate the secondary unit of measurement of the material to be purchased with the primary unit of measurement according to a preset conversion relationship, generate a purchase order in the maintenance state based on the association result, and generate a purchase order in the order creation state after the preset conversion relationship is confirmed or modified;

[0092] The material arrival warehousing unit is configured to: generate an arrival note when the purchase order is executed, and complete the material warehousing according to the arrival note.

[0093] The specific working process of each of the above units is described in Example 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0094] It is understandable that each of the above-mentioned units can be separately or entirely combined into one or several other units to constitute, or a certain unit (or units) thereof can also be further split into multiple smaller units in function to constitute, which can achieve the same operation without affecting the realization of the technical effects of the embodiments of the present application. The above-mentioned units are divided based on logical functions. In practical applications, the function of a unit can also be realized by multiple units, or the function of multiple units can be realized by one unit. In other embodiments of the present application, the system can also include other units. In practical applications, these functions can also be implemented with the assistance of other units, and can be implemented by the collaboration of multiple units.

[0095] According to another embodiment of the present application, the system described in this embodiment can be constructed and the method of Example 1 of the present application can be implemented by running a computer program (including program code) capable of executing the steps involved in the corresponding method described in Example 1 on a general-purpose computing device such as a computer, which includes processing elements and storage elements such as a central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), and read-only memory (ROM). The computer program can be recorded on, for example, a computer-readable recording medium, and loaded into the above-mentioned computing device through the computer-readable recording medium and run therein.

[0096] Example 3:

[0097] like Figure 3 As shown, this implementation proposes a supply chain primary and secondary metering outbound system, including:

[0098] The unit of measurement determining unit is configured to: use the supply chain primary and secondary measurement warehousing method according to the first aspect of the present invention to enter materials into the warehouse, and determine the primary unit of measurement and / or secondary unit of measurement of the materials in the warehouse;

[0099] The material outbound control unit is configured to: determine the customer's warehouse address based on customer information; if the customer's demand quantity is the quantity corresponding to the secondary unit of measurement, prioritize whether materials matching the same secondary unit of measurement are in stock, and whether the quantity in stock meets the minimum demand quantity; if the material is confirmed to be in stock and the quantity meets the demand, form an outbound plan and execute the outbound delivery.

[0100] The specific working process of each of the above units is described in Example 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0101] It is understandable that each of the above-mentioned units can be separately or entirely combined into one or several other units to constitute, or a certain unit (or units) thereof can also be further split into multiple smaller units in function to constitute, which can achieve the same operation without affecting the realization of the technical effects of the embodiments of the present application. The above-mentioned units are divided based on logical functions. In practical applications, the function of a unit can also be realized by multiple units, or the function of multiple units can be realized by one unit. In other embodiments of the present application, the system can also include other units. In practical applications, these functions can also be implemented with the assistance of other units, and can be implemented by the collaboration of multiple units.

[0102] According to another embodiment of the present application, the system described in this embodiment can be constructed and the method of Example 1 of the present application can be implemented by running a computer program (including program code) capable of executing the steps involved in the corresponding method described in Example 1 on a general-purpose computing device such as a computer, which includes processing elements and storage elements such as a central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), and read-only memory (ROM). The computer program can be recorded on, for example, a computer-readable recording medium, and loaded into the above-mentioned computing device through the computer-readable recording medium and run therein.
