Cross-Docking Setup
For setup, you define the sequences for internal routings. You need to define shortages; to do this, you create a shortage transaction type using Transaction Type Maintenance (4.7.1). You link the transaction in Internal Routing Assignment (4.2.9). Set the Clear Shortages field to Yes in Internal Routing Assignment. Then, you assign the shortage clearance algorithms to the appropriate transaction types using Algorithm Assignment Maintenance (4.6.9).
You can specify cross-docking details for the shortage clearance using the following four shortage fields defined for distribution order (SHRT-DO), sales order (SHRT-SO), and work order (SHRT-WO) transactions in Transaction Type Maintenance:
Shortage Definition
Specify what constitutes a shortage.
Shortage Quantity Definition
Specify how the system calculates a shortage quantity.
Shortage Action
Specify the action to take for a shortage.
Shortage Window
Specify a window of time to fulfill the order in terms of days.
The following graphic depicts the setup.
