| Cross-dock order priority |  |
| ERP LN assigns a priority to the cross-dock orders for an item. This priority indicates in which order cross-dock order lines must be generated for the cross-dock orders. First, cross-dock order lines will be created for cross-dock orders that have the highest priority. Next, the cross-dock order lines for cross-dock orders with subsequent priority will be generated. The priority of a cross-dock order is determined by the user priority and the system priority which, in turn, is based on the cross-dock order priority definition. Note Cross-dock order priority definitions are maintained using the following sessions: Priority Definitions (whinh6120m000) Cross-dock Order Priorities (whinh6121m000) Instead of cross-dock order priority definitions, you can also use planning priority rules. For more information, refer to Planning priority rules. Example 1 If, in the Cross-dock Order Priorities (whinh6121m000) session, the following priorities have been defined:
Priority | Field | Field Value | Sorting
10 | Planned Delivery Date/Time | - | Ascending
20 | Order Priority | - | Ascending
...and three cross-dock orders are created for outbound order lines A, B and C, the system priority will be as follows:
Outbound Order Line | Planned Delivery Date | Order Priority | System Priority
A | April 11th 2006 05:00:00 PM | 80 | 1
B | April 12th 2006 05:00:00 PM | 9999 | 3
C | April 12th 2006 05:00:00 PM | 100 | 2
Example 2 If, in the Cross-dock Order Priorities (whinh6121m000) session, the following priorities have been defined:
Priority | Field | Field Value | Sorting
1 | Order Origin | Sales | Not Applicable
2 | Order Origin | Service | Not Applicable
3 | Order Origin | SFC Production | Not Applicable
...and three cross-dock orders are created for outbound order lines A, B and C, the system priority will be as follows:
Outbound Order Line | Order Origin | System Priority
A | Sales | 1
B | Sales Schedule | 3
C | SFC Production | 2
Note The cross-dock order for outbound order line B receives the lowest system priority, because no priority was assigned to the Sales Schedule order origin in the cross-dock order priority definition. Example 3 If user priorities are added to Example 1, the resulting cross-dock order priority will be as follows:
Outbound Order Line | Planned Delivery Date | Order Priority | System Priority | User Priority | Cross-dock Order Priority
A | April 11th 2006 05:00:00 PM | 80 | 1 | 2 | 3
B | April 12th 2006 05:00:00 PM | 9999 | 3 | 1 | 2
C | April 12th 2006 05:00:00 PM | 100 | 2 | 1 | 1
Note The user priority is always taken into account before the system priority. Related topics Cross-dock restrictions Cross-docking process Dynamic cross-docking Planning priority rules What happens if... |
