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.

Example

Cross-dock restriction definition: CDRD1
Rule Order Origin Order Type Supply System Shortage
1 Sales SP1 None Not Applicable
2 None   Order Controlled/Single No
3 Transfer   None Yes

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

  • Sales orders with order type SP1 and no shortage occurring.
  • JSC 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.
  • JSC production order with warehouse order type P01 and supply method Order Controlled/Batch.
  • Transfer order with order type T01 and no shortage occuring.
