Putaway
Overview
• Determine optimal putaway location
• Possibly to (piece-)pick locator
• May involve category- or item-based decision
• May be single- or multi-stage process

• Single-stage: Worker takes item to final destination
• Multi-stage: Worker may drop item in “P&D” (pickup & dropoff)
slot along way- such as at the end of a narrow aisle
• Narrow-aisle storage
• Automated Storage/Retrieval System (AS/RS)
• Consolidation points (to reduce overall travel time)
• “Drop” to slot
Putaway
Support
• Access to LPN
• Access specific items, quantities, lot/serial #s, expiration
dates, weights, volumes
• Access to Item Master
• Access item’s categories
• WMS Putaway Rules
• Specify factors to be considered in putaway slot selection
• Specify order of preference for possible putaway locators
• WMS Operation Plan
• Consolidate as required for putaway
• Perform special tasks as appropriate
• Record Putaway
• Record LPN/Item & quantity, locator
Putaway
Locator Decision
• Putaway Locator chosen when WMS Putaway
Rules execute
• Generally occurs when putaway is initiated
• User picks up item, scans LPN
• Also possible to perform this earlier
• Can request that system assign putaway locators based
upon receipt
• Useful in situations where Users will sort items on
Receiving dock
• -for consolidated putaway
• -for ‘hot’ items
• Note: this change will affect ALL receipts for this Org

Inbound Inspection

98
The “Inspect” button signals that the
material needs inspection
99
For this material there is an associated
Oracle Quality inspection plan
100
1) The plan is configured to request certain
data
2) Also, validation is done on the UPC
101
If the UPC does not valid, a
configurable message is displayed
102
Enter the correct UPC and post the
inspection result
103
Now we’ll put away the material

Crossdocking
Crossdock Planning
Description
• Material is received at receiving docks and then
immediately moved to the shipping docks for shipping
New Features
• Planned Crossdock (New in R12)
• Business rules (Crossdock Criteria) to match supply and
demand in a predictable and controlled fashion
• Pegging supplies to a demand using pick release
• Opportunistic Crossdock (Enhanced in R12)
• Enhanced to use business rules
• More intelligent material consolidation
• Additional demand types (not just backordered lines)
• More user control when match supply and demand
• Crossdock Execution (Enhanced in R12)
• Synchronization of Crossdock Operation Plans with
Outbound Consolidation Plans
• Enhanced staging lane determination logic
• Delivery merging or creation as required
Crossdocking Benefits
• Reduced labor costs

• Inventory storage and outbound picking steps are combined
• Efficient storage space utilization
• By crossdocking material just-in-time, storage requirements
inventory are reduced
• Reduction in inventory caring costs
• Increase JIT shipments and reduce the need to maintain on-hand
inventory levels
• Increased customer satisfaction

• Reduce order fulfillment cycle time and increase on-time
shipment probability
Crossdocking
Market Forces
• Support an end-to-end crossdock business flow to
address the efficiency improvement needs of
increasingly complex warehouses
• Better compete with other WMS vendors
• SAP offers crossdocking both automated and manual
fashion that is integrated with Yard Management to an extent
with little to no execution support
• Manhattan offers crossdocking that is restricted only to retail
pick tickets
Crossdock Planning
Define Crossdock Criteria
• Crossdocking Time fences –
• Crossdock Window (CW) : Wait Time
• Order Processing Time (OPT) : Load/unload/move Time
• Buffer Time (BT) : Safety margin
• Past Due Supply Cut-off (PDS) : To exclude uncertain supplies
• Crossdocking Goal - Choose supply (or demand)

sources from the pool of eligible sources
• Maximize Crossdock (FIFO)
• Minimize Wait (LIFO)
• Custom
Crossdock Planning
Crossdock Planning
Finding Eligible Supply
Planned Crossdock – Backward scheduling
• Current Time: 11:00 / Scheduled Ship time: 16:00
• OPT = 1 Hr, BT = 1 Hr, Crossdock Window = 2 Hrs
• Latest arrival for supply to be crossdocked = 16:00 – (1+1) = 14:00
• Earliest arrival time for supply to be crossdocked = 14:00 – 2 = 12:00

Finding Eligible Demand
Opportunistic Crossdock – Forward scheduling
• Current Time - 11:00, Supply arrives at 11:00
• OPT = 1 Hr, BT = 1 Hr, Crossdock Window = 2 Hrs
• Earliest departure for crossdocking = 11:00 + (1+1) = 13:00
• Latest departure time for crossdocking = 13:00 + 2 = 15:00

Crossdock Planning
Setup – Assigning Criteria to Objects
Two new Rule Types

Two new Rule Types are
introduced:
A specific Crossdock Criteria can be
Opportunistic Crossdock
assigned to one or more objects e.g. use
and Planned
‘Default Planned Crossdock Crossdock
Criteria’ to
identify supply for planned crossdocks,
when demand is for item WM100 in
Organization W1.
Crossdock Planning
Default for Opportunistic Crossdocking
• Organization parameter setup
Crossdock criteria is
configured for backward
compatibility
Crossdock Planning
Run Pick Release
• Allocation Method: Indicates relative priority of crossdock versus inventory

fulfillment
• Default Crossdock Criteria: Default criteria for all demand lines
Crossdock Planning
Generate Planned Crossdocks
At the end of planning

run, a reservation linking
supply and demand is
created with crossdock
attribute enabled.
Crossdock Planning
Some Considerations
• Looks at existing reservations first
• Matches on project/task for PJM organizations
• No direct ship support for crossdocked order lines
• No crossdock support for
• lot indivisible or non-transactable or non-reservable
items
• Drop ship purchase orders
• Documents with expense or shop floor destinations
• Not allowed demand that is partially reserved to a
different WIP supply
• A stub API is provided to override default behavior
Crossdock Planning
More Considerations
• API provides the ability to customize
• Prioritization of supplies and demands for planned crossdock and
opportunistic crossdock, respectively
• Use crossdock goal as custom
• Crossdock criteria selection
• Override expected supply arrival and expected demand departure
time
• Override the restriction of not allow crossdocking for a demand
that is partially reserved to a different WIP supply
Crossdock Execution
Description
• Determine final staging lane
• Existing staging lane for the same delivery
• Pending suggested staging lane for the same delivery
• Staging lane for the dock door, if a dock appointment
exists
• Default staging lane in shipping parameters
• Determine using putaway rules
• Delivery merge
• Merge with an existing delivery based on delivery merge
criterion and the crossdock window
• If no existing delivery, then auto-create a new delivery
Crossdock Execution
Crossdock Operation Plan
• Specify the ‘Crossdock method’ for outbound consolidation

Quality Review
Quality Review
Overview
• Quality Plan identifies variables to be assessed
• Can vary by item, category, Supplier, other criteria
• Data collection may be optional or mandatory

• Can specify valid values, or allow free-form entry
• Validity check whenever possible
• Can specify ranges of acceptable values
• Completion of quality plan can drive subsequent

activity
• Unassessed items to testing zone
• Approved/Rejected items to different storage areas
Quality Review
Support
• Determine whether item requires testing
• Determine which Quality Plan applies
• Ensure proper test chosen
• Access Quality plans from mobile devices

• Validate format, range of responses
• Minimize time required to access test, record results
• Improve likelihood of performing test
