| 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. ERP LN will prioritize and sort all cross-dock orders according to their user priority and system priority. ERP 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. ERP 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.

Fields | Description
Generate
Cross-dock Orders
Cross-dock Orders | If this check box is selected, you can generate cross-dock orders.
Delete Existing Cross-dock Orders 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 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.

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, ERP 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, ERP 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, ERP 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.
