obtaining a loaded quantity of the box type with inventory among the at least one box types with the full box records; determining, according to the total loading quantity and the loaded quantity, whether the box type with inventory among the at least one box types with the full box records is capable of accommodating the target replenishment goods in the target storage space; and determining, when a quantity of the target replenishment goods in the target storage space is less than or equal to a difference between the total loading quantity and the loaded quantity, that the box type with inventory among the at least one box types with the full box records is capable of accommodating the target replenishment goods in the target storage space. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method according to claim 5, wherein a method for generating the total loading quantity corresponding to the box type with the full box record comprises: recording a loaded quantity of the target inventory box as the total loading quantity corresponding to the box type with the full box record, if a loading completion instruction of the target inventory box is received and the target replenishment goods exist in the target storage space when loading the target replenishment goods in the target storage space into the target inventory box; or recording a loaded quantity of the target inventory box as the total loading quantity corresponding to the box type with the full box record, if a full box instruction for the target inventory box is received when loading the target replenishment goods in the target storage space into the target inventory box. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method according to claim 6, further comprising: obtaining total loading quantities corresponding to a box type with the full box record with the same goods information for preset times; and determining the total loading quantity of the box type with the full box record according to the total loading quantities corresponding to the box type in the full box record with the same goods information for the preset times. ### Claim 8 (depends on 4) The method according to claim 4, further comprising: obtaining an empty box of a box type with the full box record if there is no box type with inventory among the box types with the full box records or the box type with inventory among the box types with the full box records is incapable of accommodating the target replenishment goods in the target storage space; and determining the target inventory box according to the empty box of the box type with the full box record. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method according to claim 8, further comprising: determining whether the empty box of the box type with the full box record is capable of accommodating the target replenishment goods in the target storage space; and performing, if yes, the step of determining the target inventory box according to the empty box of the box type with the full box record. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method according to claim 9, further comprising: changing the box type if the empty box of the box type with the full box record is incapable of accommodating the target replenishment goods in the target storage space;
