Opportunistic Cross-Docking Opportunistic cross-docking is a variant of cross-docking. When cross-docking, products that have arrived at the warehouse are brought from goods receipt directly to goods issue without being put away. Opportunistic cross-docking allows incoming deliveries to be redirected to cover outbound requirements. The cross-docking decision is made in Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), which is part of SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM), based on information available in the warehouse. Process SAP SCM Create putaway warehouse task Cancel pick-hu WT and replace it with crossdocking WT This business process runs in SAP SCM. 1. Create put-away warehouse task When the system creates a put-away warehouse task, it checks whether stock in open pick-handling unit warehouse tasks (pick-hu WT) is less adequate for an outbound delivery item than the stock to be put away. 2. Cancel pick-hu WT and replace it with cross-docking WT If stock in open pick-handling unit warehouse tasks is less adequate for an outbound delivery item than the stock to be put away, the system cancels the pick-handling unit 5
Result warehouse tasks and creates a new cross-docking warehouse task with reference to the same outbound delivery item. The goods are provided for delivery without put-away into stock. 6
