Inbound Processing and Receipt Confirmation
- Inbound Processing and Receipt Confirmation with Warehouse Management.
- Inbound processing covers the physical inbound delivery processing that succeeds the procurement process.
- It includes ASN(advanced shipping notice) processing, physical Goods Receipt and put away of materials in Warehouse Management
Cross Docking
- Cross docking is a way to move materials directly from the goods receipt area to the shipping area without first being stored.
- Cross docking can be planned or opportunistic, as well as executed in one step (directly from Goods receipt to Good Issue)
- Two steps (going first to a specified cross-docking storage type for repacking or labeling for example).
- Warehouse has the ability to execute planned cross-docking for pre-destined transit containers, as well as opportunistic cross-docking where outbound pick needs are matched with inbound quantities.
- In both cases, received products are directed from inbound to outbound, eliminating the two most expensive warehousing tasks: put-away and storage handling.
