Cross Docking TO creation

Dear experts,
I am going for planned cross docking, I am able to successfully plan the documents (inbound and outbound deliveries) through LXDCK, but am not sure about what to do after this. After planing if post GR and go for TO creations it directs me for normal storage type instead of directing me to 916 (from 901). Pl let me know the sequence of steps after this. I have done all the necessary config as per my knowledge.
Pl reply on priority,
Thanks and regards,
Pranab.

Hi,
Planned cross docking enables two-step cross-docking, where goods to be cross-docked are first moved from the goods receipt (GR) area to a cross-docking storage type. The goods are subsequently moved to the goods issue (GI) area upon release of the outbound document. Hence after the system suggesting normal storage type, you need to transfer stock to cross docking area. Thanking you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Cross Docking in SAP R/3 ECC 6.0

Folks,
I'm struggling to make 2-step w/ planned cross docking work. Basically, unable to connect the planned with the candidate document.
Here is the scenario:
1. (Candidate) Outbound delivery created with a delivery date / time of 09/04/08 - 10:00 (No TO initiated)
2. (Planned) Inbound delivery created with a delivery date / time of 09/04/08 - 12:00 (No TO initiated)
The system invokes different messages based on the following config. settings: (These messages occur when I right click on the inbound delivery and select "plan cross docking")
Setting 1:
Planning time: 1 D
Default Release: 1D
Def Latest Release: -
Message: No inbound documents have been selected for planning
Setting 2:
Planning time: 1 D
Default Release: 1D
Def Latest Release: 1D
Message: Time ref. 09/04/2008 10:00:00 of plan.doc. xxxxxxxxx does not match cand.documents time refs
BTW, it's a simple setup WITHOUT transportation, yard management, HUM or SUT.
Thanks in advance for your valuable comments!!

Dear Christiane,
First & foremost appreciate your quick response.
As per what you say (& If I have understood it correctly) having the Delivery Date & Time of the Inbound as 09.04.2010 10:00 would solve the issue ? I did change the Inbound Delivery time but to no avail.......as per my example.....what do you think should be the Inbound/Outbound Date & Time
If I understood right, as per my example, the Outbound Delivery time is set to 12:00, the latest release time is set to 1 hr thus the latest time for the outbound to be released is 11:00 (Outbound Del time - latest rel time)
Planning time is again 1hr, so planning window is from 10:00 to 11:00 - [(Outbound Del time - latest rel time) - Planning time]. Hence if I set the Inbound time to 10:00 it should work right ?
The release time, what effect does this have ?
Looking forward to your help.

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 !

Not able to link inbound to outbound in cross dock

Hi,
we have a warehouse managment setup in our project we are using cross dock process linking of my inboun delivery to outbound delivery. In my inbound delivery consits of 2 materials amd my outbound also consists of the same materials while i am going to connect this inbound delivery to outbound delivery. The inbound is giving all the materials and while the outbound is showing only one item cross dock monitor but the second item is present in outbound delivery but it is not displaying in the monitor tool.
Can any one let me know.
sunil

Can you give me some more inputs on this? I need to know exactly what is the role of ware house there? What exactly you are doing in cross docking? Are you shipping the material received through inbound process by just putting in another truck? What mvt types are used here both for inbound and out bound?

Cross docking

Gurus,
How does the system identifies materials are subjected to cross docking?
Regards
Sid

Hi Vineet,
I have maintained the setting you have mantioned. However I get an error when I try to plan the document in cross dock monitor.
No inbound documents have been selected for planning
or
No outbound documents have been selected for planning
I am wondering, when we can see both the inbound and the outbound document in the monitor, why can we plan them. I have tried all sorts of permutation and combination in the configuration but it never seems to work.
Can you please guide me, how to find a solution for this problem.

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.
