Cross-docking handling units and inbound advice

If a user removes an inbound advice linked to a cross-docking order line, the item quantity of the removed advice line is added to the item quantity that is advised to the storage location. If the advice is subsequently put away in inventory, the linked cross-dock order line is canceled. A new cross-dock order line must be created to fulfill the demand.

Example

These outbound order lines are present, for which no inventory is available:

Order	Item quantity	Package definition
Sales S0001/10	20 item A	PDef01
Sales S0002/10	30 item A	PDef01
Sales S0003/10	40 item A	-

For these order lines, cross-dock orders are created based on this inbound order line:

Order	Item quantity	Package definition
Purchase P0001/10	150 item A	PDef01

When the purchase order is received, handling unit HU00123 containing 150 item A is created. When the receipt of the purchase order is confirmed, these cross-dock order lines and inbound advice lines are created:

Cross-dock order line	Inbound advice	From Handling Unit	To Handling Unit	Item quantity	From Location	To Location
P0001/10	INB00001/1	HU00123		20 item A	Receive A	Staging B
P0001/20	INB00001/2	HU00123		30 item A	Receive A	Staging B
P0001/30	INB00001/3	HU00123		40 item A	Receive A	Staging B
	INB00001/4	HU00123	HU00123	60 item A	Receive A	Storage A

A user removes P0001/20/INB00001/2. Consequently, the item quantity of INB00001/2 is added to HU00123, which is advised to storage:

Inbound advice	From Handling Unit	To Handling Unit	Item quantity	From Location	To Location
INB00001/1	HU00123		20 item A	Receive A	Staging B
INB00001/3	HU00123		40 item A	Receive A	Staging B
INB00001/4	HU00123	HU00123	90 item A	Receive A	Storage A

If the user decides to put away the handling unit quantity advised to storage before the quantities to be cross-docked are handled, the handling unit is put away and the reference to the handling unit is removed from the advice lines to be cross-docked. In the previous example, the result would be:

Inbound advice	From Handling Unit	To Handling Unit	Item quantity	From Location	To Location
INB00001/1			20 item A	Receive A	Staging B
INB00001/3			40 item A	Receive A	Staging B
INB00001/4	HU00123	HU00123	90 item A	Receive A	Storage A

Also, the cross-dock order line P0001/20 is canceled. To fulfill the demand of outbound order line Sales S0002/10, a new cross-dock order line must be created.
