Opportunistic process flow

The opportunistic crossdock process starts when an item that is configured for opportunistic crossdock is received. As the receipt transaction is processed, the system checks for orders to fulfill by using the criteria described above. If orders are selected and allocation occurs, the steps required to manage the crossdock product are given to the operator.

These scenarios are possible for product allocated by using opportunistic crossdock during the receipt:

• Only a portion of the license plate received is allocated to one or more outbound orders.
• The entire license plate received is allocated to multiple shipment orders.
• The entire license plate received is allocated to a single shipment order.

  The steps required to manage each of these scenarios are described below.
