Static cross-docking
To fulfill an existing sales order for which no inventory is available, inbound goods can be immediately taken from the receipt location to the staging location for issue. This process is called cross-docking.
These types of cross-docking are available:
- Static
- Dynamic
- Direct material supply
In this topic, only static cross-docking is handled.
To generate cross-docking orders:
For a cross-docking order, several purchase order line details can be linked to one sales order line, or several sales order planned delivery lines can be linked to one purchase order line. Therefore, if you make changes to the sales order (delivery) line, the link with the purchase order line (detail)(s) can be broken.
When you change sales or purchase order lines that are linked, a message is displayed about the link between the sales order and the purchase order.
When you cancel or delete sales or purchase order lines that are linked, the link is broken.
When you cancel or delete a sales order line for which a purchase order advice exists, the purchase order advice is deleted.
