SAP business function for X-docking.

[Former Member]

Can anyone tell me what we have to install to get the X-docking function? I know it is in Extension 2.00 for WM, but they are asking me now what the BF is for that.

Extension 2.00 consists of YM, TRM and X-Docking.

I did my best and came this far. The rest is too technical for me.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

well, what ECC release are you on right now? Cross-docking in in the Extension Set 2.0 for R/3 Enterprise (vulgo 4.7). Any later release (ECC 5.0, 6.0) should contain it. And with the activation... I am not so sure... While you had to activate this extra in R/3, the documentation reads as if from ECC 5.0 this is simply already there and does not need a separate activation.

Best regards

Juergen

Hi,

If you have not turned on in rel 4.7, then you would need to switch it on in ECC6.0

CODE = SWF1

There are some mandatory function which need to be turned on before you can set the X-dock switch.

Look out for ISR-....

cross docking means based on the requirement of crertain material the good receipt is directly moved to good issue area insted of first moving it into the storage type where its usually placed

for example: You have customer requirement for Material x1 for whcih you have created a Sales order/delivery and probably a TO for picking.

Now you have posted GR for the PO for material X1 so now insted of moving the material to storage type lets say high rack you will rather move the stock to a storage type known as XCD or cross docking from where the goods will be picked for the sales order to supply to customer.

So it benfits you in a way that the extra efforts of moving the material to warehouse and then moving it to good issue area.

the case i explained is done in 2 steps but there is an option of 1 steps as well where in steps are furthere reduced.

I know what cross docking is.

I am asking of the BF of that functionality in the Enhancement 2.00. I can't seem to find it in our system.

Regards.
