               <ListItemHead>Receiving goods</ListItemHead>
               <ListItem>On the warehousing receiving side, users can initiate
				cross-docking by generating cross-dock order lines during confirmation of
				receipt lines, based on the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd2100s000#whwmd200.cdcr" role="manual">Generate Cross-dock Order Lines when Confirming Receipt</GUIRef> setting in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd2110s000" role="session">Warehouse - Item (whwmd2110s000)</GUIRef> session. Before confirm receipt takes place, however,
				users can overrule this setting by either selecting or clearing the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh3512m100#whinh312.cdck" role="manual">Cross-docking</GUIRef> check box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh3512m000" role="session">Warehouse Receipts (whinh3512m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
               <ListItemHead>Inbound advice</ListItemHead>
               <ListItem>During generation of inbound advice, LN checks whether the
				receipt line must be cross-docked. If this is the case, the goods are advised
				for a staging location. If the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh6110m000#whinh610.cdun" role="manual">Quantity Planned to Cross-dock</GUIRef> is less than the
				received quantity, only part of the receipt line is advised for a staging
				location, while the remainder is advised for a bulk or pick location. If, based
				on the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh3512m000#line.inspection" role="manual">Inspection</GUIRef> field of the receipt line, inspection is
				required, the goods are first advised for the inspection location. If inbound
				advice is created for the receipt line and no inspections are required, the
				cross-dock order line status will be set to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.cdls#advised" role="option">Advised</GUIRef>. If inspections must be carried out first, the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.cdls#advised" role="option">Advised</GUIRef> status will be assigned when goods are advised
				after inspections. If an inbound advice is generated for an inbound order line
				that is linked to more than one cross-dock order, the goods are first advised
				for the cross-dock order with the highest priority.</ListItem>
               <ListItemHead>Inspections (inbound)</ListItemHead>
               <ListItem>During inspection goods can be approved, destroyed, or
				rejected.</ListItem>
               <ListItemHead>Approving goods</ListItemHead>
               <ListItem>When goods are approved they are ready to be advised.</ListItem>
               <ListItemHead>Destroying and/or rejecting goods</ListItemHead>
               <ListItem>If goods are destroyed or rejected, and the remaining
				quantity is not enough for cross-docking, the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh6110m000#whinh610.cdun" role="manual">Quantity Planned to Cross-dock</GUIRef> of the corresponding
				cross-dock order line is decreased. As a result, the cross-dock order requires
				some additional cross-dock order lines to compensate for this. If there are
				multiple cross-dock order lines for an inbound order line, the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh6110m000#whinh610.cdun" role="manual">Quantity Planned to Cross-dock</GUIRef> of the cross-dock
				order line corresponding to the cross-dock order with the lowest priority will
				be decreased first. If the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh6110m000#whinh610.cdun" role="manual">Quantity Planned to Cross-dock</GUIRef> of a cross-dock order
				line is completely destroyed and/or rejected, the cross-dock order line is
				canceled or closed. If the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Quantity Actually</GUIRef> 
                  <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh6110m000#whinh610.qact" role="manual">Cross-docked</GUIRef> is greater than zero, it will be closed,
				otherwise canceled.</ListItem>
               <ListItemHead>Approvals (outbound inspections)</ListItemHead>
               <ListItem>When a cross-dock order corresponds to an outbound order
				line for which approvals/outbound inspections are defined in the outbound
				procedure, these inspections are carried out during the inbound inspections of
				the corresponding inbound order lines/cross-dock order lines. This means that
				for an inbound order line with corresponding cross-dock orders lines, inbound
				inspections will take place if inbound and/or outbound inspections are
				required.</ListItem>
               <ListItemHead>Put Away/Confirm Storage List</ListItemHead>
               <ListItem>The goods are put on the advised location. If this is a
				staging location, the goods were cross-docked. The <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Quantity Actually</GUIRef> 
                  <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh6110m000#whinh610.qact" role="manual">Cross-docked</GUIRef> of the cross-dock order line will be
				increased. The outbound advice procedure is completely skipped when
				cross-docking.</ListItem>
               <ListItemHead>Shipment</ListItemHead>
               <ListItem>After the goods are put away, shipment and shipment lines
				are created. From here, the goods can be shipped. The cross-dock order receives
				the status <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.cdos#closed" role="option">Closed</GUIRef> when the outbound order line receives the status <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.lstb#shipped" role="option">Shipped</GUIRef>. If nothing was cross-docked, the cross-dock order
