Cross-dock restrictions

For cross-docking, you can define restriction rules. LN uses the set of rules included in a restriction definiton to determine whether to create cross-dock orders. The rules are checked one after the other. If a valid condition is met, no cross-dock orders will be created. If no rule applies, LN permits the creation of cross-dock orders.

When trying to determine whether to create cross-dock orders, LN first uses a restriction definition from the warehouse-item level. If no restriction definition is specified on this level, LN uses the definition as specified on warehouse level. If no restriction definition exists on this level either, LN uses the definition as specified in the parameters session. If no restriction defintion exists here either, this implies that no restrictions apply, and that the cross-dock order can be generated.

Note

To maintain cross-dock restriction definitions, use the following sessions:
- Cross-dock Restriction Definitions (whinh6150m000)
- Cross-dock Restriction Rules (whinh6151m000)
Cross-dock restrictions are taken into account regardless of the use of direct material supply (DMS).

Example

Cross-dock restriction definition: CDRD1
Rule	Order Origin	Order Type	Supply System	Shortage
1	Sales	SP1	Not Applicable	Not Applicable
2	Not Applicable		Order Controlled/Single	No
3	Transfer		Not Applicable	Yes

Explanation

For the following orders, no cross-dock orders must be generated:

Sales orders with order type SP1 and no shortage occurring.
SFC production order with warehouse order type P01 and supply method Order Controlled/Single.
Transfer order with order type T01 and a shortage occuring.

For the following orders, cross-dock orders can be generated:

Sales order with order type SP2 and no shortage occuring.
SFC production order with warehouse order type P01 and supply method Order Controlled/Batch.
Transfer order with order type T01 and no shortage occuring.
