Opportunistic cross-docking not working

Hi All,
We are trying to implement opportunistic cross-docking process. My understanding is that during the creation of the goods receipt TO the system looks for any open picking TO and accordingly directly moves material from 902 to 916 storage type. The following configuration is done
1. For the warehouse opportunistic cross-docking has been activating by selecting option 4.
2. Cross-docking relevancy has been defined for movement type 101
3. For movement type 101, the 'Consider pre-allocated' check box is not ticked
4. In the respective movement types 1 & 2 for 'TO creation' are entered as screen control in movement types 101 and 601
5. No automatic confirmation for TO is set up
The following transactions are now done
1. Create a sales order with outbound delivery and TO created (not confirmed)
2. PO with MIGO (we are not using HU and hence no inbound delivery)
3. Now during the creation of the TO for the goods receipt, the expectation is that the system will look for the open picking TO and will cancel the same and then create the putaway TO directly from 902 to 916. But this does not happen.
Not sure if I am missing some setting or some transaction needs to be done differently. I went through SAP help but it does not give more details on what setting might be missing.

Ketan

Hi Jurgen,
Thanks for the link. But I had already gone through it and configured the system accordngly. The surprising part is that corss-docking is working for outboud documents i.e. if i create a TO for inbound first and then for outbound then while creating the TO for outbound it automatically takes the source as 902 and cancels the put away TO. However for other way round where the outbound TO is first created and then the inbound, the expectation is that reverse should happen i.e. the destination in the TO should be taken as 916 and original picking TO should be cancelled. However it is not happening.
In the link it talks about points 5 & 6 which are only for HU environment and since we do not have the same I have not configured those. But my question now would be is it that opportunistic inbound cross-docking can only be possible with HU but not required for outbound. Else I do not see any other reason why this might be happening.

Opportunistic Cross Docking Warehouse Task with status "B" - Waiting -

Hi All,
Does anyone have any experience with Opportunistic Cross Docking using SAP EWM 7.1? We have successfully executed OCD and EWM creates a warehouse task to move goods directly from GR to GI Zones but somehow the task is marked as waiting (B) and can't be confirmed through RFUI or using the GUI. Also this task is not assigned to a Warehouse order.
Looking forward to your inputs.
Thanks.

Hi,
the configuration of the first storage type is:
The second type is configurated:
The third is:
The first warehouse task is from AKL1 to EAR1 and it works.
The second warehouse task is from EAR1 to EARE and here is the problem.
Best regards,
Rodrigo!

Opportunistic Cross-Docking and Transfer Requirements

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up opportunistic cross-docking sent sent GR stock directly to the production supply areas when there is a shortage of inventory in the warehouse.
The PSAs are replenished with a manual KANBAN call which generates a TR with 350 mvt type.
I'm struggling to ge this to work, and when I read the SAP Help on opportunistic cross docking the process flow keeps discussing that the system searches for relevant TOs, not TRs...... but then I know you can do planned cross-docking for GR to TR - I've set this up before.
Has anyone done the same and might have tips for me?
Regards,
Mark.

Hi Mark,
I am also looking for a solution / guidline of this scenario.
Could you please tell me if you have implemented this in the meanwhile?
Thank you! Regards

WM: opportunistic cross-docking

Hi all,
According to my understanding of the help.sap.com online documentation, we are NOT supposed to use the Cross-docking Monitor while trying to achieve an opportunistic cross-docking stock transfer between an inbound delivery and an outbound delivery. Once we appropriately complete the Customizing, the system is supposed to generates BY ITSELF a cross-docking decision during the process of TO creation (after the arrival of the incoming stock or release of the outgoing document).
Am I right ? Up to now, I can't achieve it...
I've checked my Customizing several times against this documentation these last days. According to it, there are two points of view regarding the creation of the opportunistic cross-docking decision:
- either the system does it by itself (= killing the Outbound delivery TO, modifying the destination of the Inbound delivery TO and updating related documents);
- or involved Inbound and Outbound deliveries must be manually designated for cross-docking throught the use of the monitor (like it is necessary to create Planned cross-docking decisions).
So, my questions are:
1. Do we need to manually designate Inbound and Outbound deliveries candidates for cross-docking using the monitor in order to create an opportunistic cross-docking decision?
2. If so, how can we automate the creation of the candidate designation?
Thx in advance for valuable inputs!

Hello,
For Oppertunistic Cross dock..
You need to create either Putaway TO/Pick TO and then system checks the cross doc and cancel the TO and create a new TO from 902 to 916. and also updates in the document flow. This you can do with out Cross dock monitor. With out planning the cross dock you can do the cross docking by following the config in help.sap.com.
for more information about the complete config you need to see the sap link below. sure it will help you.

Opportunistic Cross-Docking Quantity

I am sorry if I cannot test this, but we need this information in order to make the recommandation to acquire EWM. We do not have it yet.
Here is the question : in the SAP documentation:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/3e/49503e30a9d549e10000000a114084/content.htm
Point 4.a.ii in the process flow says that " TO item contains the same material, quantity, plant and storage location as the putaway TO item to be created."
"SAME QUANTITY" is what I do not understand.....
If I have 3 open Picking TOs (quantity of 1 for each) for a material and I receive 5 on a PO, will the system create one putaway TO (quantity of 1 ) for each of those 3 open picking TOs ( to Goods Issue Area) and one Putaway TO ( to storage area ) for the 2 remaining ?
We are a manufacturing facility and we need to replace a system that cross dock everything missing or due in the short term when we receive.
Thanks,
Alain

Hi,
As per what I have observed, cross-docking happens in case of Full pallets. Usually TOs are created to pick full pallets or partial pallets. Also receiving happens in terms of Full pallets or partial pallets. If my receiving quantity is a full pallet quantity, then in case of opportunistic cross docking(Inbound to Outbound), it looks for possible open Pick TO items with same quantity(full pallet), cancels it and creates a cross dock TO from GR area to GI area for that outbound delivery.
Hope that helps.
Thanks
Vinod.

EWM Opportunistic Cross Dock

Hi All,
I am doing the following scenario and I have all the config and master data setting that is needed to do cross dock.
This scenario is cross dock from the Inbound side
1. Create Sales order for qty 10 in ECC and that is replicated in EWM.
2. Wave the ODO in EWM and that creates an WT to pick 10 qty from the GNL location. The WT is still open and I did not confirm it yet. The WT has source and destination HU determined. The WO has Queue assigned based on Queue determination
3. I now create an Inbound delivery in ECC for same prod and Qty 10 and it is replicated in EWM.
4. In EWM, I pack the qty 10 in a HU and then I do a 'Goods Receipt' to the GR-ZONE. I don't have a POSC
5. Now I am manually creating a putaway WT for the ID.
Now this is where my problem is. I was hoping that system will cross dock this inbound delivery with the outbound delivery and in doing so, it will cancel the open Pick WT that was created for the ODO and will create a new cross dock WT but system did not do so. It is creating a direct putaway WT to the GNL location.
ALSO, this process works when for the ODO, I do not create any open WT. In that case, during putaway WT creation it is cross docked.
So the question is, does EWM consider open WT's during XDock? In some texts, SAP writes that the open WT's will get cancelled and cross docked but that is not happening.
Thanks for your inputs and help
James

Hi,
EWM can cancel an open pick WT. What it says in the docu is " If open pick warehouse tasks of this kind exist, EWM cancels these without violating the FIFO principle."
Well, in reality it is not that simple. First of all the open WTs must be RF relevant (you wrote you have a queue, but it must be an RF-queue (which I suppose you have)). The other thing is the question with FIFO. Now it does make sense that EWM does not cancel a WT if the already assigned quantity is older then the one you have in the GR zone. But what acutally happens is that the system checks the goods removal rule being used for the open WT. If this one uses the GR date or the SLE date, then the system does NOT cancel the WT. This is part of the standard BADI implementation you have to have to CD. And this is where you have to put in your own logic.

EWM Opportunistic Cross Docking issue - Its put away instead of 2121 - Pick

Hi
We have checked all settings, configuration for Opportunistics cross docking - EWM (SCM) set up.
Storage type search sequence, activity type, WPT etc
But while performing following steps we are facing the issue :
1: We create PO in ERP
2: Inb delivery in ERP
3: Read Inb del in EWM - PRDI
4: Perform Follow on task - WT creation and SAVE
5: Create Sales order and outb del in ERP
6: Read the docu in SCM - EWM
5: See MOnitor - for Inbound delivery status is Put away
Outbound SHOULD HAVE BEEN 2121 (WPT) with PICK, but still Put away GR is already performed.
Its 1021 instead of 2121 WPT..
Any pointers please ?

Jacob,
Yes, I after I posted that message I retested and it worked as I expected. The only downside is that any GR reversals for the production orders will go to COGI due to the fact that 901 no longer allows negative stocks, but this is not that big of a deal.
Thanks for confirming my thinking.

Dock not working; command-tab switch between programs not working

The Dock does not work. I have restarted (although the computer will not restart under "Restart", getting stuck at the last part, and needs to be restarted manually). When I change Dock preferences it reverts back to default settings. If I am lucky, the dock will appear and then disappear (poof) without having functioned.
The command tab function for switching between programs stopped working also.
The individual programs work, but I have to go to recent items to switch programs.
Further, I have two Previews open (with different documents in each) even though I have only one Preview program.
A whole lot of bizarre things that may be connected? I would appreciate any help.

You could try removing the .plist file again, but this time, try also removing the com.apple.dock.db file. Then log out and log in again.
Also, it seems as if many people are having similar problems. See [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9126119].
So, does the problem persist with another user account?
If it were my machine, the next thing I'd try is downloading the combo updater from Apple's website and reinstalling it. 10.5.6 is available [here|http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10-5-6_ComboUpdate].

New 5c charging dock not working!

Got a charging dock for my 5c and it does not work. Called Apple they sent a new one and it does not work either? I am using the lightning cable provide with phone. Ear buds do not work either through the dock. What am i missing?

Probably a problem with the install, Iphones are not meant to be user serviceable, and it voids all future support from Apple.
and unfortunately, you have no one to blame but yourself.
Sorry, Good luck.

Customizing-IMG-structure cross docking not visible

The customizing-IMG-structure "cross docking" is not visible / available within SAP ECC 6.0-system altough WM-module is used. It is visible via SIMGH but can not be used / displayed via SPRO.
Could you please tell me what is the reason for this?
In addition the cross-docking transactions can not be executed (e.g. lxdck ; "You are not authorized to monitor XDOCK").

Hi
Please check the following thread.

Safari on dock not working after update

I just updated my macbook pro with the updates that came out on OCT22 and now safari on my dock doesn't work. Why? Everything else on my dock is working.

As a starting point drag the icon off the dock (it should vanish in a puff of smoke)
Then go to the applications folder and try to open Safari, if it opens then the application if fine. Close it, then go to applications folder and drag the application to the dock and drop it there, this will create a new short cut. (maybe the old was corrupted)

Cross reference not working properly in epub exported from IDCC

Hi,
I'm not sure whether this is a known issue within ID so forgive me for bringing it up if it is. I couldn't find any satisfying answer on this forum, hence my question.
It seems that cross references between the xhtml-docs created from split ID document during the epub export don't work properly. They link to the text anchors specified as relative links. My editor uses software compliant to many e-reader platforms that removes all the relative links between the xhtml files within any epub and replaces them by absolute hyperlinks (http://). The result is... broken links all over. Their specification asks for the the anchor entires in the content.opf file instead of the relative links. Is there a way to work it out in InDesign and have the content.opf file contain the navigation to the anchors in xhtml files within the epub?
I'm working with IDCC 9.1 btw. Would appreciate any help...
Kind regards, Kasia

Hi,
   Not sure exactly where you gone wrong.
   If you want the running sum to start from beginning for each YEAR and each LINES. Use this
           =RunningSum([Sales revenue]; ([Year];[Lines]))   => Need Square brackets around Year and Lines. This forum site doesn't display square bracket correctly
   If you want the running sum to start from beginning only for each LINES (regardless of YEARS). Use this
            =RunningSum([Sales revenue]; ([Lines]))
   Not sure why you added ROW in your functions. Hope this help. Works for me, just tested using my efashion with the same structure are yours.
Regards,
Ken

Apple iPhone 4 Dock not working with Apple A/V Component Cables.

Okay, Got a problem here, or I think its a problem. I purchased the iPhone 4 dock and the A/V component cables with power connection. When I connect the A/V cables to the iphone, they work fine and I see the video and hear the audio on the tv. When I connect the A/V cables to the iphone 4 dock, then place the iphone 4 on the dock it DOES NOT send the audio and video feed to the TV but it does charge the iphone.
The iPhone 4 dock, on Apple Store website says, its compatible.
From Apple Site...
(Charge and sync your iPhone 4 with the iPhone 4 Dock. Your iPhone 4 sits upright in the dock as it syncs or charges, so it's perfect for a desk or countertop. It features a convenient audio line out port that connects to powered speakers. It supports other iPad accessories, such as iPhone AV cables and the USB Power Adapter. You can even conduct speakerphone calls with your iPhone 4 in its dock.)
Is anyone else having this problem ?

"old" Universal Dock not working with iPod Classic/iPhone

I purchased the Universal Dock back when it came out. Now I have upgraded to a new Classic & iPhone and neither seem to work to the TV through it. I took having to spend another $49 on the chin and bought the new composite AV cable, which by the way does work with YouTube after Apple told me it wouldn't, nice bonus. The new cable works great (haven't tried charging yet), however, plugged into the dock, the remote works, but I get no audio or video out to the TV. iPhone gives me the standard not compatible and wants to go into airport mode which is fine, but then the video plays on it's (iPhone) screen. The Classic pretends everything is working great. Do I have to go spend another $49 on a new "Universal" dock now?

Did you already have a look here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300233? It specifies exactly what combinations of cables, docks, and iPod models do and don't work. Looks like the old dock doesn't work with the new iPod's.

Dock not working after installing maverick

After installing Maverick on my Macbook Pro, my dock which is positioned at the bottom now freezes. Prior to update, just placing my cursor at bottom of screen would bring up the dock. Now, it either doesn't come up or I have to place my cursor down there several times before it finally pops up. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Revealing the Dock while in a full-screen app requires not only moving the cursor to the bottom of the screen, but keeping your finger on it or moving the cursor along the bottom edge (or other "tricks") to reveal the Dock.
SUPER ANNOYING TO ME
Many users may like that way of operation, perhaps a great majority. But hundreds of thousands may find it annoying to have this cognitive pause imposed and would rather have the dock appear accidently once in a while when moving the cursor close to the bottom area of the display.
This worked before Mavericks:
Setting the Dock autohide delay to zero (in Terminal, with write defaults...) removed this annoyance. As soon as your cursor's at the bottom of the screen, the Dock's there.
In Mavericks: Nothing to do! (so far)
APPLE: "You" make WRONG design decisions, "you" make professional users spend dozens of hours investigating how to tweak basic features behind the scenes. And THEN, "you" quietly invalidate those changes. Please, the best design decision that "you" could make is to give the user more choice. Please, give us a section in Preferences where these things may be changed. The religious dumbing down of the interface in favour of supposedly clean esthetics is plain WRONG.
It is also quite unacceptable that APPLE does read these pages but never responds.
