Cross Docking IntelliTrack WMS-RF supports cross docking during the
put-away process. Cross docking is only available when
putting away an item. Cross docking enables an operator
to place newly received inventory directly into a staging
area, as opposed to putting the item into a storage loca-
tion.
When cross docking is implemented, any pending orders
that are awaiting the received item are displayed to the
operator. The alert also includes the item quantity
needed. An operator has the option to move the item to a
back order staging area or ignore the alert and complete
the put-away process for the item.
Cubing When this feature is activated, the cubic size of the item
may be created for the item’s units of measurement (i.e.,
each, box, and case) and stored in the item’s record (at
the Item Data form). When prompted to perform a move,
receipt, or put away, the system is able to determine
space availability in a particular location. If a location has
insufficient space to accommodate the material, the sys-
tem directs the user to select another location.The user
can also override and store the item in the location.
