	<AimSection><Paragraph>In SSA ERP, dynamic <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000019" role="glossary">cross-docking</Link> enables users to create cross-dock orders and cross-dock order lines at an ad hoc basis. Changes to the cross-dock order and cross-dock order lines, including cancelation, can be done at various moments in the <Link href="/baanerp/wh/onlinemanual/000380" role="manual" Update="No">cross-docking process</Link>. SSA ERP can also automatically create cross-dock orders and/or a cross-dock order lines.</Paragraph>

		<Paragraph>Dynamic cross-docking supports a pull system. The cross-docking process is initiated by creating a cross-dock order for an <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000407" role="glossary">outbound-order line</Link>. For this cross-dock order, cross-dock order lines can be created. The cross-dock order lines are basically <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000396" role="glossary">inbound-order lines</Link>. The outbound order line serves as cross-dock order, while the inbound order lines serve as the cross-dock order lines. The outbound order lines and inbound order lines are linked to each other by creating cross-dock orders and cross-dock order lines. In this way, cross-docking is initiated from the outbound order line and the goods are pulled from the <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000371" role="glossary">receipt location</Link> to the <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000381" role="glossary">staging location</Link>. Users can also initiate cross-docking from the receipt line or inbound order line. However, a cross-dock order/outbound order line is required to link the inbound order line to.</Paragraph>
