Cross Docking Functionality - ECC6.0

Hi,
Can some explain in detail what are the Cross Docking Functionalities has been provided in ECC 6.0 compared to the previous versions.
Thanks,
Chak.

Hi chakku,
Cross docking changes in ECC 6.0.
Effects on Customizing
To use Cross-Docking, you must define the following in Customizing for
Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management - Cross-Docking:
o   General warehouse level settings, including the cross-docking
      storage type, outbound document release and latest release times,
      and FIFO tolerance duration.
o   The relevancy of cross-docking for warehouse movement types
You also have the option of personalizing the monitor and alert monitor,
as well as implementing project-specific logic via Business Add-Ins.

Cross docking functionality in SAP F&R

Hi All,
    I want to know how the cross docking functionality is handled in SAP F&R.
   Whether I should give RP type 11 in store level and RP type 01/02 in DC level for these cross docking products?
   Whether anyone has done the dynamic allocation functionality for cross docking products in which there should be an option to send the latest Order proposal values to ECC from SAP F&R so that STO s can be done with those new OP values?
Regards,
Resmi Raj.

Hi Eduardo,
Thanks for your reply. I have the similar scenario
Herein, we have kept relationship as mentioned below
Article: 100050
Store: FRS4
DC: FRD4
Vendor - TESTVEND1
For Vendor -> DC, we have maintained the distribution profile as FTM (Cross docking) and the RP type for article as 01
For DC -> Store, we have maintained RP type as 11
Now when we have updated the consumption data for both DC & store for the article at DC / store. We ran FRP for both DC (FRD4) and store (FRS4). The order proposal was getting created correctly for store, while no order proposal was created for DC as per the RP type.
Now, how is it being classified as a Cross docking scenario as we expect that the OP (STO's), once their inbound delivery is created, then they should be cumulated in ECC and generated a collective PO for Cross docking. Is that correct. Also, can you please let know the exact process to be followed for the same.
thanks
Best Regards

Cross Docking readily in ECC 6.0

Hi,
I am in ECC 6.0. I wanted to know if the Cross docking function is in.
Do I need to turn on any activation switch?
Someone, I am not able to locate any reference or folder for CROSS DOCK in the IMG.
I read up the SAP Help but cannot find the path to perform the configuration.
I also cannot find the sample storage type to reference. Is it true I will need to create a fresh storage type?
Can some one share?
Thanks

I have a standard setup/config for cross docking functionality. However, all the outbound deliveries are getting dumped in the Alert monitor with error "Del - Release time in past". I tried changing the delivery dates but no success.
Should I remove the object class (571), which checks for the Delivery release time, from the alert monitor? Any advice on how to fix this issue?
All responses will be rewarded.
Thanks !

Cross docking in WM

HI,
can anyone explain about the usage of cross docking functionality and how to use it.
how to link an inbound docume

Hi Susil,
Cross-docking implies moving materials directly from the incoming to the outgoing physical areas of the warehouse. To process these materials without first putting them into storage, the warehouse must be aware of what deliveries are coming in and which deliveries are going out.
Inbound delivery helps in planning of incoming Materials in the Warehouse hence can make use of effective implementation of Cross Docking.
Cross docking can be monitored using Cross Docking Monitor. Details of the Cross docking monitor are well explained in the link below

2.I also donot have cross docking monitoring station transactions and few other related transaction codes in the front end.
So any idea how could i bring this functionality??

Cross-docking in 11i Vs. r12

Hi all,
How does the Cross-docking functionality in Oracle WMS 11i differ from those in Oracle WMS R12?
Thanks.
Regards,
Rubellah

Hi,
You have new feature in R12 - Planned crossdocking which is not available in 11i. And you can able to do simulation for cross docking in R12 which is not possible in 11i.
Remaining all others features are simiar in R12 & 11i for cross docking.
Thanks,

Cross-Dock: No inbound docs have been selected for planning

Hi everybody here,
I am testing cross-docking function on our DEV environment. I set the warehouse 001 as one-step crossdocking and no opportunistic cross-docking allowed, not consider FIFO. The time ref. is delivery date & time, time window is set to 72H, release time is 2H and latest relase time is 1H.
Then I set movement type 501 and 201 as cross-docking relevancy.
I created 2 TRs with movement 501 and 201 with same material and same quantities. The 501 TR's planning time is 12:00, Aug 17 and The 201 TR is 23:00 Aug 17. However, when i run LXDCK to plan a cross docking with these 2 TRs, system prompts an error message "No inbound docs have been selected for planning".
If you guys have implementation experience of cross-docking, please give me some advice, many thanks!

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").

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.

Cross-Docking, Deliveries and availability check

Friends & Gurus,
From what I read, Cross Docking (ECC 6.0) works with deliveries. I can link an inbound to an outbound delivery so as soon as the goods are received they head straight to the outbound delivery.
If I plan to use X-Docking for stockouts, how can I link the deliveries if the outbound cannot be created because of availabity check (no stock on hand).
Question: Should I change the availability check of the outbound deliveries so I can create them without stock on hand in order to use X-Docking functionality?
Thanks stranger!

Hi
If you are talking about blocked stock you can remove the check for blocked stock in OPJJ transaction. this will make availability check will not consider blocked delivery
If useful reward points

Cross-docking in RMS.

Hi,
Can anybody let me know how cross-docking works in RMS?
If a allocation meant for cross-docking is creates, does it have to be associated to a PO that time itself.
Thanks.

From the Allocations user guide:
Cross Dock: A purchase order is created that directs the goods from the
supplier to a warehouse where it is immediately allocated to the proper store
or warehouse.
From RAL you can generate POs (WhatIf-functionality), and for cross dock, the PoType should hence be set to CrossDock.
This will generate a PO with associated predist allocation.
I think that the allocation indeed needs to be associated to a PO, because it is a PO that is being cross-docked.
Maybe you can create the PO first, independently, in RMS, and then add later and allocation to it to define the cross-dock details.
From the RMS user guide:
On transfers:
Cross Dock: A purchase order is created that directs the goods from the
supplier to a warehouse where it is immediately allocated to the proper store
or warehouse.
For me it is not clear from the RMS user guide whether Cross Dock POs generate allocations to execute the move from WH to store, or transfers (transfertype=CrossDockPO), or that both may occur, in different business scenarios.
Hope this is somewhat helpful, can check my CRP notes later...
Best regards, Erik

Cross-docking in WM with use of MIGO

Dear SAP experts,
I'm looking for my company to install cross-docking in SAP ECC6.0 were they use MIGO to do the goods receipt. Which are the possibilities I have to active/setup cross-docking in SAP based on MIGO receipts?
Many thanks for your help on this one,
Michael

Dear experts,
Is it possible? Can I make use of cross-docking in standard SAP without the use of inbound deliveries?
Many thanks for your help!

Goods marking on cross-docking orders

Dear colleagues,
Will you please help me with another conceptual issue in IS-Retail? I thought that the difference between the cross-docking and flow-through was that the goods are not repacked in the former case, i.e. the vendor marks the final destination of the goods (the store), so that the DC can merely move the parcel from the receiving ramp to the dispatch ramp and send them further.
However, I see that the system generates vendor orders for the total quantities per article (no split of the total quantity per store). I wonder then how the vendor will know how to pack the goods and mark them with the address of the end destination?!
Or otherwise, what is the idea of cross-docking?
TIA
Raf

H Rafael,
I understand your question. I was not clear earlier. If I work through your example, Let us say you have 3 stores - A, B and C
and you have ordered 12 units - 4 for each Store. The Vendor has only 9 units.
Now we have the following options -
A) You agree with this vendor on predetermined rules to distribute in case of under delivery. You could decide to distribute proportionally (standard adjustment profile) or a custom version (your own function module) which kicks in at Goods Receipt automatically.
B) You do not have a predetermined rule and hence the Vendor contacts you to ask for instructions, this would mean you would give a manual instruction on the rule to be used. In this case I would rather do a manual distribution than an automatic one at GR. However this option is not optimal for any business as the whole point of cross-docking and SLS automation is to avoid manual communications with the Vendor.
Ideally I would do the following. Sit with the Vendor who would pre-pack and agree the set of predetermined rules that will be applicable. For example - You could have one rule for all Mens Clothing, and another for Womens Shoes. etc.
You can then use your Custom Function module to pick the right rule based on the article and apply the rule at the GR. Since the rules are agreed in advance with the Vendor, the Vendor would have packed the right quantities.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Naveen

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.
