Documentation

Definition

Cross-docking describes the activities for subsequent inbound and outbound movements of goods in a warehouse.

Transportation cross-docking is used to consolidate the flow of goods through a defined sequence of warehouses. This might be done for the purpose of transportation and cost optimization.

During the execution of transportation cross-docking, the system creates several inbound and outbound deliveries for the warehouses that are to be notified for cross-docking the goods.

To link all deliveries in such a chain of inbound and outbound deliveries, a cross-docking process number is determined and assigned to these deliveries.
