Dock Planning

In Infor LN FP6 the Warehouse - Dock Locations (whwmd2120m000) session is enhanced to allow the LN to automatically select and propose a specific loading dock when goods are picked from the warehouse locations. The dock selection process is based on a range of possible selection criteria from both the Warehousing and Freight packages.
