Cross-dock order priority

LN assigns a priority to the cross-dock orders for an item. This priority indicates in which order cross-dock order lines must be generated for the cross-dock orders. First, cross-dock order lines will be created for cross-dock orders that have the highest priority. Next, the cross-dock order lines for cross-dock orders with subsequent priority will be generated.

The priority of a cross-dock order is determined by the user priority and the system priority which, in turn, is based on the cross-dock order priority definition.

Note
Example 1

If, in the Cross-dock Order Priorities (whinh6121m000) session, the following priorities have been defined:

PriorityFieldField ValueSorting
10Planned Delivery Date/Time-Ascending
20Order Priority-Ascending

 

...and three cross-dock orders are created for outbound order lines A, B and C, the system priority will be as follows:

Outbound Order LinePlanned Delivery DateOrder PrioritySystem Priority
AApril 11th 2006 05:00:00 PM801
BApril 12th 2006 05:00:00 PM99993
CApril 12th 2006 05:00:00 PM1002

 

Example 2

If, in the Cross-dock Order Priorities (whinh6121m000) session, the following priorities have been defined:

PriorityFieldField ValueSorting
1Order OriginSalesNot Applicable
2Order OriginServiceNot Applicable
3Order OriginSFC ProductionNot Applicable

 

...and three cross-dock orders are created for outbound order lines A, B and C, the system priority will be as follows:

Outbound Order LineOrder OriginSystem Priority
ASales1
BSales Schedule3
CSFC Production2

 

Note

The cross-dock order for outbound order line B receives the lowest system priority, because no priority was assigned to the Sales Schedule order origin in the cross-dock order priority definition.

Example 3

If user priorities are added to Example 1, the resulting cross-dock order priority will be as follows:

Outbound Order LinePlanned Delivery DateOrder PrioritySystem PriorityUser PriorityCross-dock Order Priority
AApril 11th 2006 05:00:00 PM80123
BApril 12th 2006 05:00:00 PM9999312
CApril 12th 2006 05:00:00 PM100211

 

Note

The user priority is always taken into account before the system priority.
