Receiving and Cross Dock
Cross Dock Functionality
The cross dock functionality will allow receiving and allocating the inventory to outbound orders during the receiving process. This will be done without having to locate the inventory to a location.
The cross dock functionality can work as follow for an LPN:
- WMS will try to allocate the LPN to an order that specifies a matching PO, ASN and/or Required LPN.
- If no orders have matching PO, ASN, or LPN number, WMS will try to allocated the LPN to any order with the same SKU with equal or greater quantity.
Auto Create Xdock Orders
A cross dock or flowthrough order can be automatically created for a specific Inbound Shipment. Cross dock orders created from Inbound Shipments can only be created for facilities/stores defined in WMS.
If set up, when an Inbound shipment is populated with a cross dock facility, an outbound order will be created for the specific inbound shipment. Inventory received for that shipment can be easily allocated to the created order via cross dock or flowthrough.
