Hi

To optimize the putaway and pick processes in your warehouse, you can define doors and staging areas in a warehouse number. You can also assign the doors to the staging areas as goods receiving and shipping points. The staging area is added to the door in the delivery document if there is no other assignment listed under "Door and Staging Area Determination".

You can also assign different functions, even simultaneously, to a door. These include:

Goods receipts

Goods issues

Cross-docking

Flow through

The system finds the doors and staging areas for the individual deliveries using search criteria that help to optimize the material flow during putaway, cross-docking, and picking.

Hope this answers your query.

Hi,

This is the location where the goods arrive at or leave the warehouse. It is an organizational unit that is assigned to the warehouse number.

The staging area is added to the door in the delivery document if there is no other assignment listed under "Door and Staging Area Determination".

You can also assign a picked-items zone to a dock door as a default value. This value is assigned to the dock door in the delivery document, provided the "Door and picked-items-zone determination" do not have a different assignment

The door is also an integration point with SAP Yard Management. Yard Management is about managing vehicles on the yard (area outside the warehouse). You can assign and move vehicles to specific doors, depending on various settings.
