Prerequisites

Before you complete the tasks in this section:

• Set up the inclusion rule for the order for which you want to create a putaway request.

• In the PO Receipts program (P4312) or the Work Order Completions program (P31114), set the appropriate processing options on the Cross Docking tab.

• In the Document Type Maintenance program (P40040), set up document types.

• In the Supply/Demand Inclusion Rules program (P34004), set up inclusion rules.

• For cross docking:

  • Verify you have defined the movement instructions for picking so that the system selects the receiving location first.

  • Verify you have set the processing options for the PO Receipts program (P4312) to display backordered sales orders and perform cross docking.

  • For new items to be eligible for cross docking, in the Item Master program (P4101), select the option for cross docking on the Item Master Revisions form's Additional Information tab.

    Note: The system automatically transfers the cross docking setting to the item branch information; you do not have to select the option for cross docking in the Item Branch program (P41026). However, if you do select the option for cross docking in the Item Branch program, then you must manually select the option for cross docking in the Item Master program.

  • For existing items to be eligible for cross docking, select the option for cross docking in the Item Master program (P4101).

    Note: The system does not automatically transfer the cross docking setting to the item branch information; you must select the cross docking option for each item/branch combination in the Item Branch program (P41026).
