Use
In this IMG activity you define the source plant which physically represents the supplying warehouse if the transportation cross-docking (TCD) process starts at an external warehouse.
This setting is required because the plant to which the external warehouse is assigned, normally does not model his geographical location.
Requirements
Before you can make the assignment, you have to define a plant representing the location of the external warehouse.
- You define plants as organizational units under Logistics General in menu option Define Plants
Standard settings
Activities
If the transportation cross-docking process starts at an external warehouse you have to make the following entry:
- Supplying Plant is the receiving plant to which the external warehouse is assigned and which is now the supplying plant of the TCD process;
- Supplying Storage Location is the storage location to which the inventory of the external warehouse is assigned. This storage location corresponds to the storage location in the outbound delivery which is shipped from the external warehouse;
- Source Plant is the plant representing the physical location of the external warehouse.
Example
Assume that the external warehouse CPA is located in Forth Worth near to Dallas and that it is modeled by the storage location CPA assigned to plant A. Furthermore, assume that plant A is representing the warehouse in Dallas.
Due to the distance between Forth Worth and Dallas, plant A does not represent the external warehouse CPA geographically. In this case you make the following customizing settings.
- Define the plant F modeling the external warehouse in Forth Worth. This plant has no inventory functions.
- Maintain the relationship between supplying storage location and source plant by using the current activity
