Cross Docking Pick TO cancellation

Hi Experts
I am trying to Configure the Cross docking scenario
I have configured the following
1. Cross-dock Warehouse level customization in SPRO-LE-WM-Cross Docking-Maintain Warehouse level Settings
2. Cross dock relevancy for movement types in SPRO-LE-WM-Cross Docking-Define Cross docking relevancy for movement types
3. There is no Pre-allocated stock check for both movement types 101 and 601
4. Stock placement and stock removal confirmation required for storage types 902 and 916.
Transaction Steps:
1.Outbound delivery, TO created
2.Inbound delivery created, GR done, while creating Putaway TO system is moving the stock from 902 storage type to 916 storage type
But the pick TO created against the Outbound delivery is not cancelled and the Outbound delivery is not updated with the Putaway TO.
Which step or config i am missing?
Regards
Venkat

Hi, you have two options to configure cross-docking. Take a look at these documents for detailed explanation.
1) Planned Cross-Docking
Planned Cross-Docking - Cross-Docking (LE-WM-DCK) - SAP Library
2) Opportunistic Cross-Docking
Opportunistic Cross-Docking - Cross-Docking (LE-WM-DCK) - SAP Library
I figure you are using opportunistic xDck based on your question.
Could you just go through all the steps on the document I linked?
Just go through all of the requirements, carefully inspecting if any
of those doesn't match the process.
First you have the settings required. Make sure they are OK.
Then check the process flow and your documents you are testing
with.

IS-R: Picking in Flow Through and Cross Docking

In Merchandise Distribution (conceptually),
- for recipient-driven flow through, picking is done before GI.
- for cross-docking, no picking.
Which configuration controls the picking has to be done in flow-through and not to be done in cross-docking?

Hw to deactivate a valid cross-docking item i.e., 2-step picking

Hi Experts,
Hw to deactivate a valid cross-docking item i.e., the two step relevance should be de-activated for the delivery items. i want to convert 2-step picking to one-step picking based on elapsed time.
Be helpful. Its urgent.
Thanks & Regards,
Madhu

System will generate XD deliveries once you do the goods receipt against Vendor Purchase Order.In your case two outbound deliveries generated as you have to UB Purchase Orders.After Creation of deliveries then you tried to create the delivery through wf30 .As the deliveries created alredy you got error No entries found relevant to delivery generation;'
If you delete the deliveries then it is difficult to create new outbound deliveries.

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.

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.

Cross Docking with LE-WM - or - Reactivating Back Orders upon Goods Receipt

I have been reviewing the documentation for Opportunistic and Planned Cross Docking in LE-WM. The requirement is to release Back Orders upon receipt of a shipment to avoid putting them away and picking them right away from the bin. We want to release the Back Orders for picking in the GR area at the time of receipt.
So far it appears that Opportunistic Cross Docking depends on a Transfer Order already existing. The system then cancels the existing TO and replaces it with a TO to pick from the receipt Storage Type.
Planned Cross Docking appears to require an existing Outbound Delivery to the expected Inbound Delivery.
In the case of a Back Order, no Outbound Delivery or Transfer Order exist since there is no stock to release until the goods are received.
Is there a way to release Back Orders to be picked directly from Goods Receipt?
Thanks;
Jim

The problem is that all the information I found so far about it is over the process of external goods coming and sending they out without the need of storing in the warehouse. They go directly to the picking area (one step) or in two step process going first from 902 (Good receive from external) to Cross docking Sorage type.and another movement from Cross Docking Storage type to 916 Good issue Storage type.
I need to know if it is possible to implement a solution of Cross Docking for certain number of products having a factory and a warehouse. If so, would you give me a brief process flow?.
Thank You very much.
Al

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.

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!

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.

Cross Docking from a Factory

Hi all,
I´m doing a first approach to cross docking, So far what I read about it is that the goods are taken from goods receipt to goods issue without being placed in storage in the meantime.
My customer is a factory. They heard about the Cross Docking advantages improving the process in the Warehouse and avoiding storage and inventory tasks (they are using WM).
Iu2019m not sure if Cross Docking can be the way for improving the process of producing and sending to costumers without storing in the warehouse or there is a easy way to follow with not Cross Docking involved.
Thank You
Al

The problem is that all the information I found so far about it is over the process of external goods coming and sending they out without the need of storing in the warehouse. They go directly to the picking area (one step) or in two step process going first from 902 (Good receive from external) to Cross docking Sorage type.and another movement from Cross Docking Storage type to 916 Good issue Storage type.
I need to know if it is possible to implement a solution of Cross Docking for certain number of products having a factory and a warehouse. If so, would you give me a brief process flow?.

Please please help me Can anyone help in Cross Docking Please

I did cross dock many time succussfully but i am trying now I am either getting following error
"No inbound documents have been selected for planning"
Please help me as I set up warehouse relevant, movmenttype relevent set up time reference for release, ref etc too
But I am getting error please please help me

Hello,
Cross docking is process where goods movement do not happen within warehouse house (No putaways & picking)
The process flow for the same is as follows;
Sales order creation>>Purchase requistion>>Purchase order>>>Inbound delivery creation(stock is inventory managed)>>Post goods reciept is done>>Outbound delivery creation (reference to sales order)>>stock is picked in delivery itself>>post goods issue.
Warehouse managment is not involved as there is creation of transfer orders in cross docking. So you need to cerate inbound delivery, do the put away directly in inbound delivery stock placement tab and do the post goods reciept. This will maintain the stock in inventory managed storage location.
Once PGR is done you can create outbound delivery with refernce to sales order and do the picking in picking tab in delivery and then post goods issue.

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

RE: from PO allocation to cross-docking TO

Hi,
User created Allocation plan and convert to PO.
Before the stock arrives, how can I convert the planned qty and planned site into respective TO for picking when the stock arrived in the warehouse.
I am think about using cross-docking / Flowthrough features in WMS.
please advice
Bye

Hi ,
You can use crossdock & flow thorugh to ship inventory direct to shipping dock after you receive it.
When you do GR for these allocation TO can be created to direct to shipping location instead on bins.
Hope it helps
