| # Impact of cross-docking settings Introduction The impact of the cross-docking time fence, force cross-docking range, and cross-dock restrictions depends on whether these settings are used in a DMS environment or a non-DMS environment. Impact in a DMS environment The following table summarizes the impact of cross-docking settings on receipts if you use DMS upon Receipt. The Result column describes what happens during a DMS run.
Setting: | Result
CR | FC | TF | RA
N/A | N/A | N/A | Y | Cross-dock orders and cross-dock order lines cannot be generated if a cross-dock restriction is met.
N/A | Y | Y | N | Cross-dock orders and cross-dock order lines are only generated before inventory is used to supply demand, if the force cross-docking range and the time fence are met. If demand remains after goods are supplied from inventory, cross-dock orders and cross-dock order lines are only generated if the time fence is met.
N/A | Y | N | N | Cross-dock orders and cross-dock order lines are only generated before inventory is used to supply demand, if the force cross-docking range is met. If demand remains after goods are supplied from inventory, cross-dock orders and cross-dock order lines are generated.
N/A | N | Y | N | Cross-dock orders and cross-dock order lines are only generated if the time fence is met.
N/A | N | N | N | In contrast with a non-DMS environment, cross-dock orders and cross-dock order lines are always generated. If demand remains after goods are supplied from inventory, cross-dock orders and cross-dock order lines are generated.
CR - | Generate Cross-dock Order Lines when Confirming Receipt (not applicable for DMS)
FC - | Force Cross-docking Range set: Yes = Range is, for example, from 10 to 100. No = Range is from zero to zero.
TF - | Cross-docking Time Fence set: Yes = Minimum tolerance is, for example, 10 hours and maximum tolerance is 15 hours. No = Minimum and maximum tolerance have value zero.
RA - | Restriction Definition set (Yes/No).
Impact in a non-DMS environment The following table summarizes the impact of cross-docking settings on receipts of items that are not DMS Supplied, in combination with the Generate Cross-dock Order Lines when Confirming Receipt setting. The Result column describes what happens during confirm receipt (line).
