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.

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.

📦 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.
