Cross Docking Items (Cross-Docking)

For all material inbound transactions, Factory Track supports cross docking. This feature is based on the cross-docking parameter configuration, allowing the system to determine open requirements for the item and present a consolidated list to the user to perform the next action instead of putting the item back in inventory. This works like a dynamic cross referencing for the item at the time of receipt.

Specify Yes when prompted to cross dock.
Select Process.
If applicable, print labels. If this transaction is configured to print labels, labels are automatically printed or the Label Printing screen is opened. See Printing Labels for information about printing labels using the Label Printing screen.
A list of outbound orders available for cross docking is displayed.
Select an order to which to cross dock. This information is displayed:
- Order type
- Order number
- Order position
- Item number
- Quantity needed for the order
- Quantity available for cross docking
Specify the number of items to cross dock to the specified order in the XDockQty field, and specify the unit of measure. This number cannot exceed the quantity required nor the quantity available.
Specify a temporary location status for the items before the items are delivered to the staging location in the Loc field.
Select Process. The items are cross docked to the order. If the quantity is required for the orders has been filled, the order is removed from the cross docking list.
Review the list of outbound orders available for cross docking if the quantity is still available. You can select another order to cross dock the remaining item quantity. Optionally, press Esc to exit the cross docking transaction. You can put away the remaining items either, using the standalone Putaway transaction or from within the current transaction, depending upon the configuration of your system.
