Transportation Cross Docking - Plant Determination

[Former Member]

For sales orders or stock transport orders that involve cross-docking, the ERP system generates the inbound and outbound delivery documents and sends them to the appropriate cross-docking warehouse.

The current solution we have in place is successfully creating the inbound and outbound deliveries, but the plant which is being populated into these document is the actually supplying plant.  This plant and storage location combination should in fact be the cross-docking location.

Where is the cross docking loction pulled from, and what would be causing the supplying plant/sloc to be populated into the cross docking deliveries?

Hi,

Check whether you have maintained the following customization

Specify which plants can act as cross-docking warehouses

Assign storage locations to each supplying plant to represent the stock at each cross-docking warehouse

You can define cross-docking partners in Customizing. Specify the storage locations in the source warehouse to be used when cross-docking goods are posted to a cross-docking target warehouse

Thanks,
