Cross Docking

Overview

The Cross Docking process in OrderEazi’s Inventory Module is designed to streamline warehouse operations by enabling fast and efficient movement of goods from receiving to dispatch—without the need to shelve stock for later picking.

This feature allows warehouse teams to repack and check items that have already been received and quality checked during inbound processing. By doing so, it helps to quickly fulfill one or more orders without unnecessary stock handling or delays.

When to Use Cross Docking

Use Cross Docking when:

  • Items have been received and passed quality checks.

  • Orders need to be dispatched immediately or shortly after receiving.

  • You have back-to-back orders where you are purchasing stock for dispatch as soon as it is received.

This process is especially useful for high-turnover goods, urgent customer orders, or just-in-time supply chains.


Accessing the Cross Docking Screen

To access the Cross Docking feature:

  1. Navigate to the left-side menu.

  2. Click on Inbound > Cross Docking.

You will be directed to a listing page showing all purchase orders that have been flagged for Cross Docking.


Cross Docking Listing Columns

The listing includes the following columns for easy tracking and management:

Column

Description

Created

The date the Cross Docking process was initiated.

Purchase Order

The purchase order number associated with the items.

Receiving Warehouse

The warehouse currently processing the goods.

Receipt Number

The Goods Received Voucher (GRV) tied to this Cross Docking instance.

Supplier

The supplier linked to the purchase order.

Supplier Ref

The supplier’s document reference number.

Units

The total number of units to be processed.

Delivery Date

The expected delivery date of the goods.

Status

Indicates whether the purchase order is partially or fully received.

Next Steps

Once on the Cross Docking listing screen, the next step is to select the specific entry you want to continue working on.

How It Works:

  • Click on the desired Cross Docking entry in the list.

  • OrderEazi will automatically filter all related records to only show:

    • Purchase Orders

    • Goods Received Vouchers (Receipts)

    • Related to the same project as the selected Cross Docking.

This filtering ensures that users do not mix client orders or process unrelated stock, which helps maintain order integrity and traceability throughout the fulfillment process.


🚚 Starting the Cross Docking Process

After selecting the correct Cross Docking entry:

  1. Click to Start Cross Docking.

  2. This action prepares the system to continue into the Multi Dispatch workflow.


🚀 Multi Dispatch Integration

Once inside Multi Dispatch, OrderEazi automates the picking and checking of orders based on the incoming stock.

Key Features:

  • Automatic Picking & Checking: Quickly processes stock items for dispatch.

  • Single Address Dispatch:

    • Generates one delivery note for the full order.

  • Multiple Address Dispatch:

    • Generates a separate delivery note for each address.

This flexibility allows you to handle both centralized and distributed deliveries with ease.


📦 Final Step: Repacking for Dispatch

After delivery notes are generated:

  1. You’ll need to repack items per delivery note.

  2. Once repacking is complete, the delivery note is marked as ready for dispatch.

This ensures every order is verified, organized, and ready to leave the warehouse accurately and efficiently.
