The Cross Docking functionality is part of Manual Replenishment in the LS Replenishment suite.
Cross Docking assists you in the process of creating and adjusting Transfer Orders and/or Sales Orders following the creation of Purchase Orders in various areas. The buyer creates a Purchase Order like any other Purchase Orders except that Cross Docking Transfer Order and/or Sales Order can be created additionally so that when the Purchase Order arrives at the warehouse, some of the items can be cross-docked and sent directly to the stores or customers.

The Cross Docking can be adjusted using the Adjust Cross Docking functionality via the created Purchase Orders. The changes will then be reflected in the linked Transfer Orders and/or Sales Orders. - Automatic Replenishment using the template for Purchase Order with Cross Docking
