STORAGE MEDIUM
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of merchandise inventory,
and particularly
to inventory checking method, device, computer equipment and storage medium.
Background
[0002] When customers place orders and purchase goods on electronic commerce
platform,
the system is requested to check merchandise inventory to ensure the safety of
inventory
deduction and prevent oversold.
[0003] The competitive occupancy model is adopted in the calculation of
available inventory
at present, which means available inventory = available items in the warehouse
+ daily
purchases ¨ daily sales ¨ daily deliveries ¨ daily platform reservations.
However, the delivery
may be after the sales in the actual business and the adoption of this method
may result in
failure of the subsequent delivery due to the lack of inventory. It may
deteriorate the user
experience, lead to user complaints, and create backlog of invalid occupancy,
increase
inventory depth, and consume high server resources.

Detailed Description of an Embodiment
[0047] In order to make the application purposes, technical solutions, and
advantages clearer,
the present disclosure is further explained in detail with a particular
embodiment thereof, and
with reference to the drawings. It shall be appreciated that these
descriptions are only intended
to be illustrative, but not to limit the scope of the disclosure thereto.
[0048] The inventory checking method provided in the present disclosure can be
applied to a
system with inventory checking ability, this system can be achieved by an
independent server,
or a server cluster composed of a plurality of servers, or by the other
network devices.

[0049] In one implementation, the inventory checking method can be applied to
the
application environment as shown in Figure 1. The inventory checking system
102 can obtain
data from a plurality of external business platforms. (Figure 1, business
platform 104, business
platform 106, business platform 108, etc.) The inventory checking system 102
can be an
independent server or a server cluster composed of a plurality of servers;
When the inventory
checking system 102 has monitored a preset trigger event, then it will ensure
the target
commodity which needs inventory checking, determine the business scenario
corresponding to
the preset trigger, obtain the inventory type weight configuration
corresponding to the target
business scenario, and obtain the corresponding target commodity inventory
distribution
information, also perform the target commodity inventory checking based on the
inventory
type weight configuration and inventory distribution information.
[0050] The trigger event can be different in different scenarios. For example,
in a scenario
where a user places an order, the triggering event is the order placement from
user. For
example, a merchant opened a shop (can be one or more commodities sales) in a
plurality of
business platforms (for example, can be Tmall shop, SuNingYiGou shop, etc.),
when user
wants to purchase commodity through the user terminal (such as mobile phone,
computer and
other smart devices) which will send the order request to a business platform,
after this business
platform receives the order request, it will call the corresponding interface
to send a predefined
instruction message to the inventory checking system from this business
platform, once the
inventory checking system receives the message, it will execute inventory
checking function
and corresponding logical processing. For example, the inventory checking
system can
regularly check the inventory of commodity sales on the business platform, and
this time the
trigger event can be the preset scheduled trigger event.
[0051] In an implementation, as shown in Figure 2, the inventory checking
system comprises
a plurality of servers, which can include application system 202,
configuration system 204, and
computing system 206. The application system 202, configuration system 204 and
computing
system 206 from Figure 2 can all be the independent servers, or the server set
cluster composed
7
Date Recue/Date Received 2021-09-24
of a plurality of servers.
[0052] In an implementation, as shown in Figure 3, the present application
provides a method
of inventory checking, which is illustrated below as an example of how
implemented in the
inventory checking system ( hereinafter referred to system ) from Figure 1.
The method
includes the following steps:
[0053] Step 302 identifying the target commodity for inventory checking in
response to a
preset trigger event.
[0054] The preset trigger event can be the event that needs to check the
inventory of the target
commodity in different scenarios, such as the user places an order for the
target commodity,
and before the target commodity is delivered, the inventory performs checking;
A preset trigger
event can include demand date information, the specific date when the target
commodity
requested to inventory check such as user's order date.
[0055] Step 304 determining the target business scenario corresponding to the
preset trigger
event and obtaining the inventory type weight configuration corresponding to
the target
business scenario.
[0056] The inventory type weight configuration corresponding to the target
business scenario
can include the weight parameters corresponding to the various inventory types
in the target
business scenario. The various inventory types in the target scenario can
include sales
occupancy, delivery occupancy, etc.
[0057] In specific, for the system in Figure 2 as an example, after the system
confirmed the
target business scenarios, an inventory type weight configuration request
corresponding to the
target business scenarios is sent to configuration system, based on this
request, the
configuration system send the application system with inventory type weight
configuration
data corresponding to target business scenarios.

Date Recue/Date Received 2021-09-24
[0058] Step 306 obtaining the inventory distribution information corresponding
to the target
commodity.
[0059] The inventory distribution information corresponding to the target
commodity is the
inventory quantity information of the target commodity, which can include the
inventory
quantity data of various inventory types of the target commodity under various
demand dates.
[0060] In specific, the system can first determine the target demand date
corresponding to the
preset trigger event and then obtain the inventory quantity information of the
target commodity
within a certain range before and after demand date. For example, if the
target demand date is
October 1, 2020, the system can obtain the target commodity inventory
distribution information
from October 1, 2020, to October 3, 2020.
[0061] Step 308 performing an inventory checking on the target commodity based
on the
inventory type weight configuration and inventory distribution information.
[0062] In specific, the system can check the quantity of the target commodity
in stock at any
demand dates. For example, the user places an order in business platform, the
system can check
the target commodity's available inventory and perform corresponding logical
procedures
based on this available inventory checking results, such as it will generate
corresponding orders
when the available inventory meets the preset conditions (like available
inventory is equal or
bigger than the order quantities placed by users), it does not generate
corresponding orders
when the available inventory does not meet the preset conditions (like
available inventory is
less than the order quantities placed by users), instructing the user with the
shortage of the
target commodity. The business platform can be an e-commerce platform, for
example, Tmall
shop and DangDang.com etc.
[0063] In the present implementation, it performs business scene matching,
obtain inventory
type weight configuration corresponding to the target scenario, then performs
target
9
Date Recue/Date Received 2021-09-24
commodity's inventory checking based on the inventory type weight
configuration, can be
widely used in a variety of scenarios, and achieve the calculation
differentiation among
different business scenarios, to meet the actual business requests; When
performing inventory
calculation and checking, considering of different inventory type has
different weight,
performing inventory calculation and checking according to inventory type
weight
configuration achieve intelligent inventory checking, obtain more accurate and
more suitable
to the actual situation inventory results, improve user's shopping experience.
[0064] In an implementation, before obtaining the inventory type weight
configuration
correspond to target business scenarios as mentioned above, it also includes:
[0065] Registering a plurality of business scenarios corresponding to a
plurality of business
platforms, each business platform corresponds to one business scenario, a
plurality of business
platforms includes target business platform, the business scenario
corresponding to target
business platform is target business scenario.
[0066] Obtaining business data from each business platform.
[0067] Determining the inventory type's weight configuration correspond to the
target
business scenario according to the business data from all business platforms.
[0068] The business platform is the external e-commerce platform, and the
business data from
business platform can include the order quantities in a period, etc.
[0069] In specific, for the system in Figure 2 as an example, a plurality of
business platforms
(include business platforms) can register business scenarios corresponding to
each business
platform by the system interfaces configuration; Calculation system obtains
the business data
corresponding to each business platform from a plurality of business
platforms, and then
calculate the inventory type weight configuration corresponding to the target
business scenario
according to the business data of each business platform; Then calculation
system sends the
Date Recue/Date Received 2021-09-24
inventory type weight configuration data corresponding to the target business
scenario to the
configuration system. The configuration system updates the inventory type
weight
configuration data corresponding to the target business scenario based on the
inventory type
weight configuration data sent by the calculation system. In one of
implementation methods,
the calculation system can periodically obtain business data from a plurality
of business
platforms and calculate inventory type weight configuration, and periodically
send the newly
calculated inventory type weight configuration to the configuration system.
The configuration
system periodically updates the inventory type weight configuration.
[0070] In the present implementation, a plurality of business platforms
register business
scenarios, expanded the application scenarios of this method, can achieve the
inventory
calculation differentiation among different business scenarios; The inventory
type weight
configuration is calculated based on the business data of each platform, and
the inventory type
weight configuration is obtained according to the actual situation of each
platform, which can
not only make inventory calculation and checking results more suitable to
actual scenario, but
also can achieve the dynamic update of inventory type weight configuration,
which ensure the
accuracy of inventory checking results.
[0071] In one implementation, the inventory type weight configuration
corresponding to the
target business scenario includes a plurality of occupied inventory types and
the weight
coefficients corresponding to each occupied inventory type.
[0072] Determining the weight coefficients corresponding to any occupied
inventory types
according to the business data from all business platforms, including:
[0073] Determining the business value corresponding to this occupied inventory
type from
each business platform based on the business data of each business platform.
[0074] Summing up the business values corresponding to any occupied inventory
type from
all business platform to obtain the accumulated values corresponding to any
occupied inventory
11
Date Recue/Date Received 2021-09-24
type.
[0075] By dividing the business value corresponding to any occupied inventory
type from
target business platform by the accumulated value corresponding to any
occupied inventory
type to obtain the weight coefficient corresponding to any occupied inventory
type.
[0076] The occupation inventory type can include sales occupation, delivery
occupation and
platform reservation, which respectively indicates the commodity inventory of
sales, delivery
and platform reservation, occupation inventory type can also include other
types.
[0077] In specific, the procedure of determining the weight coefficient
corresponding to each
occupied inventory type is similar. The following example takes the target
business platform
as platform A and the occupied inventory type is the sales occupation from
platform A: The
corresponding business value of sales occupation of platform A for each
business platform is
the platform A's sales order quantities. The system can obtain the sales order
quantity of each
business platform from the corresponding business number of each business
platform. Then
sum up the sales order quantity of all business platforms to obtain the
accumulated value
corresponding to the sales occupation from platform A. Then, the sales order
quantity of
platform A is divided by the accumulated value corresponding to the sales
occupation from
platform A to obtain to the weight coefficient corresponding to the sales
occupation from
platform A. In one example, the occupation inventory type also includes
delivery occupation
and platform reservation. The corresponding business value of delivery
occupation is platform
delivery quantity, and the corresponding business value of platform
reservation is platform
reservation quantity.
[0078] In the present implementation, each occupied inventory type corresponds
to a weight
coefficient which can fully consider the priorities orders of the calculation
results for each
occupied inventory type, calculating this occupied inventory type weight
coefficient value
according to the business value of this occupied inventory type from target
business platform
and the accumulated quantity for this occupied inventory type to get more
reliable weight
12
Date Recue/Date Received 2021-09-24
coefficient and achieve dynamic update of weight coefficient.
[0079] In an implementation, the inventory type weight configuration
corresponding to the
target business scenario also includes one or more available inventory types.
[0080] Inventory checking on target commodities according to inventory type
weight
configuration and inventory distribution information includes:
[0081] Determining the priority ordered set according to all available
inventory types, all
occupied inventory types and the weight coefficient corresponding to each
occupied inventory
type.
[0082] Performing inventory checking on the target commodities according to
the priority
ordered set and inventory distribution information.
[0083] Available inventory types can include commodities in stock (indicating
commodities
that have been put in stock), commodity in transit (indicating commodities
that have been
purchased but are still in transit), etc. A priority order set sorted each
inventory type (includes
available inventory types and occupied inventory types) in order.
[0084] In specific, the system can first determine the priority of each
inventory type, and then
sort each inventory type according to the priority, and get the priority
ordered set. The system
can determine the priority of each occupied inventory type according to the
corresponding
weight coefficient of each occupied inventory type. The system can determine
the priority of
each available inventory type according to preset rules such as in store > in
transit > each
occupied inventory type.
[0085] In the present implementation, the priority determination of each
inventory type and
inventory checking based on the priority ordered set have achieved intelligent
and accurate
inventory checking. Meanwhile, it avoids the increase of inventory depth
caused by invalid
13
Date Recue/Date Received 2021-09-24
occupation of low priority inventory, saves calculation resource, and improves
service
performance.
[0086] In an implementation, the priority ordered set is the sequence obtained
by sorting each
available inventory type and each occupied inventory type based on their
priorities.
[0087] In a priority ordered set, the priority level of any available
inventory type is higher
than the priority of any occupied inventory type.
[0088] Among all occupied inventory types of a priority ordered set, the
occupied inventory
types with greater weight coefficient have higher priority than the occupied
inventory types
with smaller weight coefficient, for the occupied inventory types with the
same weight
coefficient, the occupied inventory types with earlier demand date have higher
priority than the
occupied inventory types with later demand date.
[0089] In specific, for instance, all available inventory types and all
occupied inventory types
are in stock, in transit, platform A sales occupied, platform A delivery
occupied, platform A
reservation occupied, platform B sales occupied, platform B delivery occupied
and platform B
reservation occupied, the weight coefficient order is platform A sales
occupied > platform A
reservation occupied > platform A delivery occupied = platform B delivery
occupied >
platform B reservation occupied > platform B sales occupied, and delivery
occupied demand
date of the platform B is earlier than platform A. For available inventory
types, the default in-
store priority is higher than the in-transit priority. Therefore, according to
the priority of each
inventory type from higher to lower, a priority ordered set can be obtained
[in-stock, in-transit,
platform A sales occupied, platform A reservation occupied, platform B
delivery occupied,
platform B reservation occupied, platform B sales occupied ].
[0090] In the present implementation, determining the priority of occupied
inventory type
according to the weight coefficient and demand date, and make the available
inventory higher
priority than the occupied inventory type, obtain the efficient and suitable
to actual scenarios
14
Date Recue/Date Received 2021-09-24
priority order set, provides a direct basis for subsequent calculation and
process checking, help
to improve the process efficiency and obtain accurate results.
[0091] In an implementation, an inventory checking on a target commodity based
on the
priority order set and inventory distribution information includes:
[0092] Calculating the available inventory according to the priority ordered
set and inventory
distribution information.
[0093] Inventory checking on the target commodities based on available
inventory.
[0094] In specific, take the preset trigger event to place an order of target
commodity for user
as an example, the user places an order of target commodity in platform A on
October 1, 2020,
the system obtains the inventory distribution information which includes the
quantity
information of various inventory types between October 1, 2020 and October 3,
2020, and
obtains various inventory type's wight configuration of target business
scenario corresponding
to this target business platform, get the result of a priority ordered sec, so
the system can
calculate the available inventory of target commodity on its demand date based
on various
inventory types priorities and the available inventory quantities
corresponding to various
inventory types. If the quantity of available inventory is larger than the
order quantities on the
target commodity's demand date, then this inventory checking result is normal;
if the available
inventory quantity is less than the order quantity on the target commodity's
demand date, the
inventory checking result is insufficient, and some orders may not be
completed normally.
[0095] In the present implementation which can calculate the target
commodity's available
inventory in preset triggers event of target business scenario according to
customer's actual
demands, and then perform inventory checking on target commodity according to
available
inventory calculation result, it can provide an accurate inventory checking
result in any target
business scenarios and can discover the conflicts between the inventory and
business requests
to keep normal trade and improve user's shopping experience.

[0097] Based on the priority ordered set and inventory distribution
information, the available
inventory includes:
[0098] Summing up the quantities of various available inventory types in the
priority ordered
set, then subtract each available inventory quantity from higher to lower
priority to obtain the
available inventory.
[0099] In specific implementation, the target demand date is on October 1,
2020, the
inventory information includes the target commodity's quantity information of
various
inventory types between October 1, 2020, and October 2, 2020, the priority
ordered set is [in-
stock, platform A delivery occupied, platform A sales occupied, platform B
sales occupied,
platform B delivery occupied], inventory distribution information is as below:
