storing stock information records of merchandise objects that participate in negative sales, the stock information records comprising;

physical stock, held physical stock, virtual negative sale stock, and held virtual negative sale stock;

using the physical warehouse for prerouting; and

when the physical warehouse has no salable physical stock, using the virtual negative sale warehouse for prerouting.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the salable information of the combined merchandise object comprises salable stock quantity information of the combined merchandise object, and the salable stock quantity information of the combined merchandise object is determined in the following manner:

determining stock quantity of the each sub-merchandise object, and determining a minimum value of the determined stock quantities to be the salable stock quantity of the combined merchandise object.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

when generating logistic orders associated with the transaction order, generating a first logistic order for the first sub-merchandise and a second logistic order for the second sub-merchandise according to different types of prerouting warehouses.

5. The method according to claim 4, further comprising:

for shipping based on the logistic orders, combining the first logistic order and the second logistic order associated with the same transaction order, and packaging the first sub-merchandise and the second sub-merchandise for shipping when detecting that there is a reserved negative sale stock of the second sub-merchandise in the corresponding target physical warehouse.

6. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

determining the transaction order with logistic orders to be generated;

determining prerouting information recorded in the transaction order; and

if the first sub-merchandise object in the transaction order is routed to the target physical warehouse and the second sub-merchandise object is routed to the virtual negative sale warehouse, generating a first logistic order for the first sub-merchandise, and generating a second logistic order for the second sub-merchandise.

7. The method according to claim 6, further comprising:

synchronously updating detailed logistic information of the transaction order by tracking states of the first logistic order and the second logistic order.

8. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

upon receiving a shipping request for a logistic order, determining target transaction order information associated with the logistic order;

determining whether another logistic order associated with the target transaction order information exists; and

if the determination is yes, combining both logistic orders associated with the target transaction order information for processing, wherein, if the prerouting warehouse corresponding to one of the logistic orders is a virtual negative sale warehouse, all sub-merchandises associated with the two logistic orders are packaged together for shipping when detecting that there is a reserved negative sale stock of the sub-merchandise objects associated with the logistic order.

9. The method according to claim 8, further comprising:

determining, after determining the logistic orders associated with the same transaction order, a state of each of the logistic orders;

triggering, if none of the logistic orders is cancelled, to execute the order combining operation; and

executing, if one of the logistic orders is cancelled, the shipping operation only based on the uncancelled logistic order.

10. A method for processing transaction information of a combined merchandise object, comprising:

receiving, by a second user client, a browse request for browsing detailed information of a combined merchandise object;

submitting the browse request to a front-end transaction platform server, causing the front-end transaction platform server to acquire stock information of each sub-merchandise object of the combined merchandise object, respectively;

if a target physical warehouse has a physical stock of at least one first sub-merchandise object and no physical stock of at least one second sub-merchandise object, and if a target virtual negative sale warehouse corresponding to the target physical warehouse has a virtual negative sale stock of the at least one second sub-merchandise object, causing the front-end transaction platform server to return salable information of the combined merchandise object;

providing the salable information of the combined merchandise object returned by the front-end transaction platform server; and

when a request for buying the combined merchandise object is received, submitting the buying request to the front-end transaction platform server, causing the front-end transaction platform server to generate a transaction order, and upon generation of prerouting information, determine the target physical warehouse as a prerouting warehouse of the first sub-merchandise object, and determine the target virtual negative sale warehouse as a prerouting warehouse of the second sub-merchandise object.
