Section Configuration

General

By setting section configuration, it is possible to automatically split sections into multiple sections so that crossdock actions can be planned.

Functionality

By setting filters in the header, it is possible to control the splitting of sections. For example, by order type or a maximum unit of measure. By using the table filter this can be expanded even further.

Defining multiple rules automatically creates multiple crossdock locations/sections.

In the planning process, planners can undo the splitting or manually add additional crossdocking section.

Note

Sections are created on an order when a change of status is raised, where the status function is included.
