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 so that the user can perform the next action instead of just putting it back in inventory. This works like a dynamic cross referencing for the item at the time of receipt.

When prompted to cross dock, specify Yes.
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
In the XDockQty field, specify the number of items to cross dock to the specified order, and specify the unit of measure. This number cannot exceed the quantity needed nor the quantity available.
In the Loc field, specify a temporary location status for the items before they are delivered to the staging location.
Select Process. The items are cross docked to the order. If the quantity needed for the orders has been filled, the order is removed from the cross docking list.
If there is still an available quantity, the list of outbound orders available for cross docking is displayed. 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.
