Cross Docking with the Workbench

To perform cross docking with the workbench:

1. Review the sales order lines, purchase order lines, and work order lines in the detail area.

   Note: You can enter or change the values in the fields in the detail area for sales orders only. For purchase orders or work orders, the fields are view only.

2. Locate the row that contains the sales order line to cross dock and enter a value in the Cross Docked field.

3. To associate a sales order line with a purchase order number or work order number, click the search button in the Cross Dock Order Number field.

4. On the Planned Cross Docking Inbound Search & Select form, select the row that contains the order number to associate with the sales order line and click Select.

5. On the Planned Cross Docking Workbench Revisions form, review the information in the detail area and click Resort to update the detail area with the sales order lines prioritized by ascending promised date and priority.

   Note: If you must update detailed sales order line information, purchase order line information, or work order line information, you can select the appropriate option from the Row menu.

6. To further prioritize sales orders for cross docking, complete the Cross Dock Priority field and click Resort.

   The system sorts the order lines by ascending promised date and then priority. If the promised dates for two or more order lines are the same, then the system sorts the order lines only by priority.

7. When you are finished prioritizing and resorting the order lines, click OK.

Cross Docked

Enter 1 to activate cross docking, or leave this field blank and cross docking is inactive. This field associates items or order lines with the cross-dock processing. The value might indicate whether an item or an order line is eligible for cross-docking, whether it was cross docked, or whether it must be cross docked. When it is assigned to an item or item-branch, the value indicates that the item or the item in the branch/plant is eligible for cross docking. When it is assigned to an order line, the value indicates that the order line must be cross docked.

Cross Dock Priority

Enter a priority value. This value indicates the priority that the cross-docking system follows when assigning supply quantity to the sales orders. This priority indicates the sequence in which cross-docked sales orders are fulfilled for a given date. Sales order lines with a lower value receive a higher priority than lines with a higher value. The system performs only numeric edits on this value. If you do not specify a priority, or if the same priority is given to multiple order lines, the orders are fulfilled in the sequence of order number and order type.
