| This topic explains the processing of the following when inventory is available: Cross-dock order outbound advice After you create a cross-dock order, you can generate an outbound advice for the remaining part of the ordered quantity (the quantity for which cross-dock order is not generated). When you have to generate an outbound advice for the ordered quantity of an outbound order line, you must first cancel or partially cancel the cross-dock order. You may want to generate an outbound advice because inventory becomes available due to the following reasons: Adjustment order Cycle counting Unblocking of inventory The cross-dock order is automatically canceled (completely or partially) only if the Cancel Cross-dock Orders when Inventory Can Be Advised parameter is selected in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session. Cross dock orders are automatically canceled or can be partially canceled based on the inventory availablity. The possible scenarios are explained below: When there is no inventory available, then the related cross-dock order is not canceled. When there is inventory available for the outbound order line and there is a related cross-dock order without cross-dock order lines, the cross-dock order is canceled completely, if the value of the Cancel Cross-dock Orders when Inventory Can Be Advised parameter is Open Cross-dock Orders or Open and Planned Cross-dock Orders. When sufficient inventory is not available to completely fulfill the ordered quantity, the requested cross-dock order quantity is decreased with the quantity that is needed to make the advice possible. When there is available inventory for an outbound order line and there is a related cross-dock order with cross-dock order lines, the cross-dock order is canceled partially if the value of the Cancel Cross-dock Orders when Inventory Can Be Advised parameter is Open and Planned Cross-dock Orders. When cross dock orders are canceled partially, the requested cross-dock order quantity is decreased to a quantity that is equal to the planned quantity of the cross-dock order. Note The requested cross-dock order quantity cannot be decreased if it is equal to the total quantity of the cross-dock order lines, and no outbound advice can be generated. When the value of the Cancel Cross-dock Orders when Inventory Can Be Advised parameter is Never or Open Cross-dock Orders, the cross-dock orders are not canceled Note Infor ERP LN cancels the cross dock orders when an outbound advice is generated. The automatic cancellation is not possible for outbound advice that are manually created or changed. Related topics Dynamic cross-docking Cross-docking process |
