| # Generate Cross-dock Orders and Cross-dock Order Lines (whinh6200m000) Use this session to generate a range of cross-dock orders and/or cross-dock order lines. Generating cross-dock order lines If you select Cross-dock Order Lines, cross-dock order lines will be generated for a range of cross-dock orders. LN will prioritize and sort all cross-dock orders according to their user priority and system priority. LN will then search for inbound order lines within the given selection range that can fulfill the cross-dock orders, starting with the cross-dock order that has the highest priority. The inbound order lines that can (partly) fulfill the cross-dock order are added as cross-dock order lines. First, cross-dock order lines will be created for the already received quantities that are not advised yet. Next, cross-dock order lines are created for the non-received quantities. LN takes into account the planned receipt dates of the inbound order lines, planned delivery dates of the outbound order lines (cross-dock orders) and cross-dock lead time of the item in the warehouse for non-received quantities. Time window for planned receipt date On the Generate tab, you can use the Minimum Tolerance and Maximum Tolerance fields to create a time window, which will facilitate matching the planned receipt date of inbound order lines and the planned delivery date of the outbound order line, taking into account the cross-dock lead time that lies between these two dates. Note The time window is only taken into account for inbound order lines that must still be received.

Troubleshooting Generate Cross-dock Orders Cross-dock Orders If this check box is selected, you can generate cross-dock orders. Delete Existing Ones First If this check box is selected, all cross-dock order lines that are not approved yet and for which nothing is advised yet, will be deleted. These cross-dock order lines have the status Open or Canceled. Next, all cross-dock orders with status Open (and nothing cross-docked yet) or Canceled will also be deleted. New cross-dock orders may be generated, depending on the (inventory) situation of the moment. If the Cross-dock Order Lines check box is selected, new cross-dock order lines may also be generated. Note Deletion of cross-dock orders and cross-dock order lines will only be done for the entered warehouse range and item range. Any other ranges or options will not be taken into account. Generate Generate Cross-dock Orders... Series A group of order numbers or document numbers starting with the same series code. Series identify orders with certain characteristics. For example, all sales orders handled by the large accounts department start with LA (LA0000001, LA0000002, LA0000003, and so on). Cross-dock Order Lines Cross-dock Order Lines If this check box is selected, you can generate cross-dock order lines. Approve Cross-dock Order Lines If this check box is selected, cross-dock order lines are immediately approved. If this check box is not selected, you can approve the cross-dock order lines either manually, or by using Approve Cross-dock Order Lines (whinh6210m100) session.. Note Goods will not be cross-docked unless cross-dock order lines have been approved. This session is not affected by the Automatically Approve Cross-dock Order Lines setting in the Warehouse - Item (whwmd2110s000) session. Minimum Time Tolerance Enter a lower limit for the time window that will be used for linking the inbound order lines to a cross-dock order. For more information, refer to Cross-docking time window. Maximum Time Tolerance Enter an upper limit for the time window that will be used for linking the inbound order lines to a cross-dock order. For more information, refer to Cross-docking time window. Unit The unit in which the time tolerance is expressed. Selection Range Warehouse A place for storing goods. For each warehouse, you can enter address data and data relating to its type. Staging Location If you enter a specific staging location or range of staging locations, LN will generate only cross-dock orders and cross-dock order lines that will result in the cross-docking to the specified staging location(s). A staging location can be defined when creating a cross-dock order manually, or it can be determined for every generated cross-dock order. For generated cross-dock orders, the staging location will be the dock location as defined per item and/or business partner in the Warehouse - Dock Locations (whwmd2120m000) session, or, if this location is not defined, the default staging location as defined in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session. Options Rush Orders only If this check box is selected, LN will generate cross-dock order lines only for inbound order lines that are marked as rush orders. Include Planned Orders If this check box is selected, LN will generate cross-dock order lines for inbound order lines with status Planned as well. For more information, refer to Planned status for Warehousing order lines. Reports Generated Cross-dock Orders and Cross-dock Order Lines If this check box is selected, LN will generate a report listing all generated cross-dock orders and/or cross-dock order lines. Error Report If this check box is selected, LN will generate an error report. Deleted Cross-dock Orders and Cross-dock Order Lines If this check box is selected, LN will generate a report listing all deleted cross-dock orders and/or cross-dock order lines. Order Selection Range Outbound Order Selection Outbound Order Origin The order origin of the outbound order line. Cross-dock orders can be generated for the following order origins: ASC Production ASC Production (Manual) EP Distribution Maint. Sales (Manual) Maint.

SFC Production (Manual) Transfer, except for transaction type WIP Transfer. Transfer (Manual), except for transaction type WIP Transfer. Note In addition to the exceptions indicated above, cross-dock orders can neither be created for return orders nor for blanket orders. Outbound Order The outbound-order line number. Line The warehousing order line number. If the order is generated by a package other than Warehouse Management, this number is the same as the original order line number. Sequence The sequence number of the warehousing order line. BOM Line The line number within the bill of material. Note If the outbound-order line's Inventory Handling is: By Main Item, cross-dock orders can only be created for the main item (outbound-order line). By Component, cross-dock orders can only be created for the components (BOM lines). Planned Delivery Date The date for which delivery of a shipment is planned. Inbound Order Selection Inbound Order Origin The order origin of the inbound order line. Cross-dock order lines can be generated for the following order origins: Maintenance Sales Maint.

LN uses the user priority along with the system priority to determine a cross-dock order's priority. LN will generate cross-dock order lines and, during inbound advice, advise cross-dock order lines for cross-dock orders with the highest priority first. Note The user priority is taken into account before the system priority. Maximum value: 2147483647 Minimum value: 1 Related topics Cross-dock order priority |
