Netting in process cross-dock orders
The following example describes demand netting of cross-dock orders with status In Process.
Example 2 : In process cross-dock orders netted against demand orders
A second purchase order P2 is received for 10 pieces for the same item as of Example 1, and the cross-dock orders are not processed completely yet (status Canceled nor Closed). This can happen if not all procedure activities are set to Automatic.
| Item | X |
| Warehouse | WH1 |
| Received Quantity in Inventory Unit | 10 pcs. |
| Inventory on Hand | 0 pcs. |
After receiving the goods, distribution in the DMS session is as follows:
| Priority | Date | Demand | WH | Shortage | Assigned Received Quantity | Assigned Inventory | Cross-dock Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 106 | 14-4-2005 | Sales S4 | 2 | 2 | 2 | CD4: 7 pcs. - Open | |
| 203 | 10-4-2005 | Sales S1 | 1 | 10 | 8 | ||
| 205 | 13-4-2005 | Sales S3 | 2 | 5 | |||
| 212 | 15-4-2005 | Transfer T2 | 1 | 5 | |||
| 500 | 20-4-2005 | Forecast F1 | 2 | 20 |
In additon to these transactions, two transfers do not appear in the Direct Material Supply Distribution (whinh6130m000) session, because warehouse transfers between two DMS-supplied warehouses in the same cluster are ignored. Sales orders S2 and S4 are also still in process:
| Demand | WH | Shortage | Assigned Received Quantity | Cross-dock Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sales S2 | 1 | 5 | 5 | CD4: 7 pcs. - In Process |
| Sales S4 | 2 | 10 | 7 | CD4: 7 pcs. - Planned |
| Transfer T1 | 1 | 4 | ||
| Transfer T3 | 1 | 7 | CD3: 7 pcs. - In Process |
Sales orders S2 and S4 are not included in the Direct Material Supply Distribution (whinh6130m000) session. The sales orders still have shortages, but these will be met by the cross-dock orders that are in process. The cross-dock orders are netted against the sales orders.
After approval and processing, the results are as follows:
| Demand | WH | Shortage | Assigned Received Quantity | Cross-dock Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sales S2 | 1 | 5 | 5 | CD2: 3 pcs. - In Process |
| Sales S4 | 2 | 10 | 9 | CD4: 9 pcs. - Planned |
| Sales S1 | 1 | 10 | 8 | CD1: 8 pcs. - In Process |
| Transfer T1 | 1 | 4 | ||
| Transfer T3 | 1 | 9 | CD3: 9 pcs. - In Process |
