Definition

Determines whether the system's optimization of cross-docking decisions (for planning in background) and proposed decisions (for manual planning) is to be performed at delivery/TR, shipment or group level.

Example

The following shipments and deliveries are within the cross dock planning time window:

Inbound    Outbound   

Delivery 180003243 (10 Loads X BIKE)    Shipment 1245    Delivery 80005432 (9 Loads X BIKE)

Delivery 180003244 (5 Loads X BIKE)    Shipment 1245    Delivery 80005433 (4 Loads X BIKE)

Delivery 180003245 (3 Loads X BIKE)    Shipment 1245    Delivery 80005434 (3 Loads X BIKE)

    Shipment 1249     Delivery 80005500 (10 Loads X BIKE)

    Shipment 1249     Delivery 80005501 (5 Loads X BIKE)

If the optimization level is set at Shipment, the system will create a cross-docking decision linking inbound deliveries 180003243, 180003244 and 180003245 (18 bike loads) with outbound shipment 1245(16 bike loads), and not with outbound shipment 1249, which has only 15 bike loads.

If the optimization level is set at Delivery/TR, the system will create cross-docking decisions linking the deliveries as follows:

  • Inbound delivery 180003243 with outbound delivery 80005500 ( shipment 1249)
  • Inbound delivery 180003244 with outbound delivery 80005501( shipment 1249)
  • Inbound delivery 180003245 with outbound delivery 80005444 ( shipment 1245)
