Cross Docking with GATP

I am considering ECC WM and / or EWM. One of my requirements is an opportunistic cross dock that will assign goods at GR to an open sales order line item. EWM opportunistic CD is synonomous with PFGR. Does ECC WM provide any benefits over EWM in terms of cross docking with GATP?
Many thanks.
Michael

Have you received any feedback from SAP or from third party consultants that the WM to EWM connection is feasilble? The benefits of EWM to GATP vs. ECC WM to GATP are very big, however , I am not even sure that WM to GATP is a real option. That is why I ask.

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 with external WM system

Hello Gurus,
We are trying to implement cross docking but we donu2019t have wm on the SAP ERP. We would like to know if this is possible. And this is possible, how can we manage this scenario for example: A delivery from PLANT A to a client that uses PLANT B as cross-docking plant. When the shipment leaves PLANT A what movement we need to do. When the materials of the delivery are received on PLANT B what movement should we do. When the shipment leaves PLANT B we make the goods issue?
Is this correct? If this is correct you have to change the plant of the sales order and delivery from PLANT A to PLANT B.
Best regards,

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!

WM cross docking and yard management

Dear Gurus,
Any body here could explain me step by step configaration of WM--Cross docking and Yard Management.
Any help will be rewarded.
Regards,
SAP.

Hi,
hum, this is a bit huge to reply.
Yard is working as cross-docking with a single WM.
Cross-dock needs :
A WM configured
WM movement types to be dedicated
More tricky, it needs to have the Goods receipt sequence to be modified. The goods receipt must be setup to be done before the TO gets created
Yard is more straight forward.
Yard site related to WM
Define the Yard map: The doors, parking spaces... (nota: Maintain the yard doors from the WM customizing. It is a WM location before all.)
some vehicles (Material group, ...)
Some master data. The trucks, the trailers...
To keep in mind:
a truck is an handling unit.
The relation between a delivery and a truck is done with handling units.
The relation between CD and Yard: At CD Decision time, a Yard scheduling activity will be created. Therefore a WM door will booked.
Hope this provides a starting point to you

Is there a way to stop automatic scheduling in Yard Management.
Can someone explain how you can schedule a vehicle without first check-in in Yard management.

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.
Y

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!

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,

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!

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 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 !

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 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

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
Prashant
