Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of Industrial Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), specifically to a fully automated processing technology for industrial spot contracts based on database stored procedures, encompassing the entire process from creation, modification, addition and deletion of product batches to data accounting and contract cancellation. It supports cross-database compatibility and is applicable to the standardized and intelligent management of the entire lifecycle of industrial spot contracts. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial spot trading is characterized by high contract creation frequency, frequent product batch adjustments, and high data accounting requirements. In the traditional spot contract management model, various contract operations are scattered across different system modules and database scripts, resulting in numerous technical shortcomings: Operations such as contract creation, inserting product batches, deleting product batches, modifying unit price and freight, and deleting contracts require calling different interfaces and stored procedures, resulting in fragmented business logic and high system maintenance costs. Data transmission mostly adopts a single data interaction mode, which has low batch processing efficiency and is difficult to adapt to the needs of large-volume batch operations in spot trading. The lack of a unique identifier for the connection between contracts and product batches, production, and inventory data makes it easy for multiple specifications of materials under the same contract to be mixed up, data to be mismatched, and reconciliation to be difficult. Contract numbers are manually assigned, which can easily lead to duplicates and non-standardization. Data validity checks are scattered across various operational stages, resulting in inconsistent error message responses and complex front-end processing. Syntax differences between different database platforms result in poor cross-platform compatibility of the system, making it difficult to meet the needs of enterprises for domestic database transformation. The lack of unified transaction control in business operations means that errors in any step can easily lead to data inconsistencies and affect the accuracy of contract management.

[0003] Existing technologies lack a method that can achieve integrated, automated, and standardized processing of the entire lifecycle of spot contracts and support cross-database compatibility, making it difficult to meet the efficient, accurate, and stable management needs of industrial enterprises in spot trading. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Purpose of the invention This invention provides an integrated method and system for the entire lifecycle processing of spot contracts in the industrial sector. It centralizes all operations of spot contracts into a single stored procedure, supports cross-database operation with SQL Server, GaussDB, and DMDB, and automates the entire process of contract creation, modification, addition and deletion of product batches, and data accounting. It solves the problems of traditional contract management, such as scattered business logic, cumbersome operations, data chaos, and poor cross-platform adaptability, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of spot contract management and reducing system maintenance costs. 2. Technical Solution

[0005] A unified processing entry point for multiple operations: A single database stored procedure is used as the unified entry point for all operations throughout the entire lifecycle of spot contracts, centrally realizing all business operations such as contract creation, inserting product batches, deleting product batches, modifying unit price and freight, modifying customer information, and deleting contracts; by setting operation type parameters, branch execution of different business operations can be realized, ensuring unified standardization and maintenance of contract management; Batch data transmission based on table-valued parameters: Using database table type parameters as a unified input carrier for batch data, it supports the one-time input of batch information of large batches of products and contract parameters, realizes batch processing of complex business logic, reduces the number of interactions between the front-end and back-end of the system, the database and the application layer, improves data processing efficiency, and facilitates standardized integration of the front-end and back-end systems. Contract hash value is used as the unique identifier for spot contracts. This allows for the precise binding of sales order information, finished product batch information, production quality inspection data, and inventory control data. This enables accurate differentiation of materials of different specifications under the same contract, avoids data mixing and cross-registration, and ensures the traceability of spot contract data throughout the entire supply chain. Automatic Contract Number Generation: Standardized rules for automatic contract number generation are established. Unique and standardized spot contract numbers are automatically generated according to the format of product type + signing date + serial number. No manual generation is required, eliminating the problems of duplicate and non-standard numbers, and improving the standardization of contract management and query efficiency. Centralized pre-processing validation and unified global exception return: Before all business operations are executed, the legality of input parameters, data integrity, and compliance with business rules are centrally validated, covering all validation items such as the validity of product batch numbers, the reasonableness of unit price and freight, and the consistency of inventory status; all validation exception information is uniformly summarized into a single output parameter, realizing "one-time validation, all prompts", simplifying the front-end exception handling logic and improving the user experience; Transaction security and data consistency assurance: Database transaction control technology is used throughout the process, and every business operation of spot contracts (including data verification, data modification, log recording, etc.) is included in transaction management; if any abnormality occurs in any link, the system will automatically execute transaction rollback to ensure that contract information, product batch association information, financial accounting data, and inventory status are always consistent, without data chaos or partial update issues; Cross-database compatibility design: All business logic is implemented using standard SQL syntax, without relying on specific features and functions of any particular database platform. A single set of logic can run stably on multiple database platforms such as SQL Server, GaussDB, and DMDB, meeting the needs of enterprises for domestic database transformation and multi-platform deployment. 3. Core Innovation Points

[0006] It pioneered an architecture that uses a single stored procedure to manage all operations throughout the entire lifecycle of spot contracts, achieving a unified entry point for multiple operations, completely solving the problems of scattered business logic and high maintenance costs in traditional business, and significantly reducing the number of system interfaces and stored procedures; Using table-valued parameters to achieve batch data transmission and processing, it adapts to the business needs of large-volume product batch operations in the spot trade of industrial sectors, improves data processing efficiency, and achieves standardized front-end and back-end integration. By using the contract hash value as a unique identifier across the entire chain, the system achieves precise binding between contracts and product batches, production, and inventory data, solving the industry pain points of chaotic multi-table associations and difficulties in reconciliation, and ensuring data traceability. Design rules for automatic contract number generation and a centralized pre-verification mechanism to eliminate the problem of duplicate numbers generated manually, achieve "one-time verification, all prompts", simplify front-end operations, and improve user experience; The end-to-end database transaction management, combined with cross-database compatibility design, ensures data consistency and stability during business operations, while also meeting the needs of enterprises for localization and multi-platform deployment, making it highly adaptable. 4. Beneficial effects

[0007] It achieves one-stop automated processing of the entire lifecycle of spot contracts in the industrial sector, from creation to cancellation, centralizing scattered business logic into a single stored procedure, significantly reducing the number of system interfaces and stored procedures, and reducing system maintenance costs by more than 80%. The table-value parameter batch data transmission and processing mode is adapted to the needs of batch operations of large-volume products in spot trading, improving data processing efficiency by 90%, while facilitating standardized integration of front-end and back-end systems and reducing development costs. The contract hash value is uniquely associated with the entire chain and the contract number is automatically generated, which realizes accurate association and standardized management of spot contract data, eliminates problems such as data mixing, cross-accounting and duplicate numbering, improves the level of contract management, and solves the pain point of financial reconciliation difficulties. Centralized pre-validation and unified global exception return simplify the front-end exception handling logic, improve the user experience, reduce business operation exceptions caused by data errors, and improve the accuracy of contract management. Database transaction control ensures the atomicity of business operations. Any abnormality in any step will automatically roll back, guaranteeing the consistency of contract information, inventory data, and financial data, and eliminating data chaos and partial update issues. The cross-database compatible design adopts standard SQL syntax, and a single logic can adapt to multiple database platforms, meeting the needs of enterprises for domestic database transformation. The system is easy to migrate and expand, and has strong implementation capabilities. The overall logic is streamlined, efficient, and free of redundant code. All business operations are automated, reducing manual intervention and the error rate of manual operation, and meeting the high stability and high efficiency requirements of industrial sites. Detailed Implementation

[0008] System initial configuration: Create a single stored procedure for the entire lifecycle processing of spot contracts in the database of the industrial enterprise's ERP / MES system; define operation type parameters (such as creating contracts, inserting product batches, deleting contracts, etc.), table value parameters (for batch transmission of product batch information and contract parameters), and input / output parameters; formulate rules for automatic contract number generation (product type abbreviation + 8-digit date + 3-digit serial number) and contract hash value generation; configure centralized data validation items and exception information return formats; complete data association mapping with sales, inventory, and production modules. Unified entry point operation call: The system front end selects the corresponding operation type according to the user's business operation needs, enters / batch imports contract parameters, product batch information and other data, and passes the operation type parameters, table value parameters and other input parameters to the unified stored procedure through the standardized interface to initiate the business operation request; Pre-process centralized data validation: After receiving an operation request, the stored procedure first performs pre-process centralized validation to fully verify the legality of input parameters (such as whether the product batch number exists and whether the unit price is greater than 0), data integrity (such as the contract signing date and whether customer information is required), and compliance with business rules (such as whether the inserted product batch is in stock). If any abnormalities are found, all abnormal information is summarized into a unified output parameter, returned to the front end, and the business operation is terminated. Business operation branch execution: After the pre-validation passes, the stored procedure executes the corresponding business logic branch based on the operation type parameter: Contract creation: Automatically generates contract number and contract hash value, writes basic contract information into the spot contract master table, batch binds product batch information to the contract details table, and automatically calculates the total quantity / weight and total amount of the contract; Insert / Delete Product Batch: Process product batch information in batches using table-valued parameters. When inserting, the product batch inventory status is automatically checked. When deleting, the product batch is automatically unbound from the contract. After the operation is completed, the total quantity / weight and total amount of the contract are recalculated. Modify unit price / customer: Update the corresponding information in the main contract table / details table, and recalculate the total contract amount; Delete contract: Remove the binding relationship between the contract and all product batches, restore the product batches to the spot inventory status, and mark the contract as void; Transaction control and data update: All business logic execution processes are carried out under database transaction control. After data modification (including contract table, product batch table, and inventory table) is completed, business operation logs (operator, operation time, operation content, and information before and after data change) are automatically recorded. If any abnormality such as database error or business rule conflict occurs in any link, the system immediately performs transaction rollback and restores all data to the state before the operation. Results and Cross-Platform Operation: After the business operation is completed normally, the stored procedure will return information such as execution success status, contract number, contract hash value and calculation result to the front end; since all logic is implemented using standard SQL syntax, this stored procedure can run directly on different database platforms such as SQL Server and GaussDB without additional modifications, meeting the needs of enterprises for multi-platform deployment and localization transformation; Data Traceability and Management: Enterprise managers can query the entire lifecycle operation records, product batch association information, and data accounting results of spot contracts in the system by contract number, contract hash value, customer name, and other dimensions, realizing full traceability of spot contract data; the system supports multi-dimensional statistical analysis of contract data, providing data support for enterprise spot trading operation decisions.
