Configuring Cross Docking Parameters

Use this form to configure cross docking parameters. You can configure separate parameters for different warehouses and for different requirement types, such as Kanban replenishment requests, projects, and sales order lines.

  1. Open the Cross Docking form.
  2. To configure new parameters for a warehouse or requirement type, select a blank line from the grid or click Create a New Object. To modify existing parameters for a requirement type at a warehouse, select the warehouse from the grid.
  3. Specify this information:
    Whse
    If you are configuring new parameters for a warehouse or requirement type, specify a warehouse. If you are modifying existing parameters for a requirement type at a warehouse, the warehouse is displayed.
    Requirement Type
    If you are modifying existing parameters for a requirement type, the requirement type is displayed. If you are configuring new parameters for a requirement type, select a requirement type. You can select from these requirement types:
    • Jobs
    • Sales Order Lines
    • Transfer Order Lines

    Lines that match the selected requirement type will be listed as possible options to which to cross dock when users are performing transactions that meet the requirements for cross docking.

    Priority
    Specify a number, 1-99, to indicate the priority of this requirement type. Lower numbers have greater priority and higher numbers have lesser priority. Requirement types with greater priority will be listed first when users are selecting a line to which to cross dock. If more than one requirement type shares the same priority, they will be sorted by date with the most urgent orders listed first.
    Future Days
    Specify the number of days, 1-99, into the future for which to allow cross docking for this requirement set. Only open, unreserved lines that are due before this number of days, counting from today's date, will be listed as possible cross docking options.
  4. Click Save.
