| Netting in process cross-dock orders |  |
| The following example describes demand netting of cross-dock orders with status In Process. Example 2 : In process cross-dock orders netted against demand orders A second purchase order P2 is received for 10 pieces for the same item as of Example 1, and the cross-dock orders are not processed completely yet (status Canceled nor Closed ). This can happen if not all procedure activities are set to Automatic.

Warehouse | WH1
Received Quantity in Inventory Unit | 10 pcs.
On Hand Quantity | 0 pcs.
After receiving the goods, distribution in the DMS session is as follows:
Priority | Date | Demand | WH | Shortage | Assigned Received Quantity | Assigned Inventory | Cross-dock Order
106 | 14-4-2005 | Sales S4 | 2 | 2 | 2 |  | CD4: 7 pcs. - Open
203 | 10-4-2005 | Sales S1 | 1 | 10 | 8 |  |
205 | 13-4-2005 | Sales S3 | 2 | 5 |  |  |
212 | 15-4-2005 | Transfer T2 | 1 | 5 |  |  |
500 | 20-4-2005 | Forecast F1 | 2 | 20 |  |  |
In additon to these transactions, two transfers do not appear in the Direct Material Supply Distribution (whinh6130m000) session, because warehouse transfers between two DMS-supplied warehouses in the same cluster are ignored. Sales orders S2 and S4 are also still in process:
Demand | WH | Shortage | Assigned Received Quantity | Cross-dock Order
Sales S2 | 1 | 5 | 5 | CD4: 7 pcs. - In Process
Sales S4 | 2 | 10 | 7 | CD4: 7 pcs. - Planned
Transfer T1 | 1 | 4 |  |
Transfer T3 | 1 | 7 |  | CD3: 7 pcs. - In Process
Sales orders S2 and S4 are not included in the Direct Material Supply Distribution (whinh6130m000) session. The sales orders still have shortages, but these will be met by the cross-dock orders that are in process. The cross-dock orders are netted against the sales orders. After approval and processing, the results are as follows:
Demand | WH | Shortage | Assigned Received Quantity | Cross-dock Order
Sales S2 | 1 | 5 | 5 | CD2: 3 pcs. - In Process
Sales S4 | 2 | 10 | 9 | CD4: 9 pcs. - Planned
Sales S1 | 1 | 10 | 8 | CD1: 8 pcs. - In Process
Transfer T1 | 1 | 4 |  |
Transfer T3 | 1 | 9 |  | CD3: 9 pcs. - In Process
