SAP Best Practices for Wholesale Distribution US Scenario Overview

Cross Docking. Scenario OverviewThe SAP Best Practices scenario for cross-docking supports both Opportunistic and Planned Cross-Docking scenarios with or without handling units. It enables customers to handle materials more efficiently and minimize unnecessary material handling to reduce cycle times, inventory and handling costs. Planned cross docking enables two-step cross-docking, where goods to be cross-docked are first moved from the goods receipt (GR) area to a cross-docking storage30339

    1. SAP Best Practices for Wholesale Distribution US Scenario Overview W71 Cross Docking

    2. Cross Docking

    3. Cross Docking These processes show how incoming materials can be redirected to cover outbound requirements using both opportunistic (unplanned) and Planned methods of Cross-Docking by detecting opportunities for cross docking in a dynamic environment. The business benefits include: leaner, more flexible and accelerated supply chain, optimized flow of materials from inbound receipts to outbound demand elimination of interim storage needs and reduction in warehouse execution tasks more effective and efficient warehouse operations management in terms of capacity and scheduling reduction in stock levels visibility into work flow and supply chain execution optimization opportunities

    5. Opportunistic Cross Docking Contract with auto creation of Project, Down Payments, 3rd Party Material, Personnel Assignment & Milestone Billing Purpose This business scenario addresses the typical business processes of an engineering or industrial design company.An agreement with a customer for a design project requires a down payment and billing based on performance of defined milestones. The design company sets up a project structure and assigns employees to specific activities based on skill sets and availability. The project is automatically created from the contract using: a pre-defined project structure template. The procurement of materials is triggered by the project. Process Flow The process begins with the creation of a customer contract. The pre-determination of required materials,which is fixed in the customer contract, triggers the generation of a project based upon a standard project template. The project is structured according to WBS elements and their linked network activities, which drive material management, procurement, assignment of personnel, and cost analysis. The WBS element of the project is copied to the contract so that all costs are cumulated on the project. A billing plan is automatically created. The milestones of the project are taken over as billing dates in the billing plan. After the project is released, the down payment is due. At the same time, the procurement of materials and assignment of personnel begin. The procurement process begins with the creation of a purchase requisition, which is then transferred to a purchase order. The procurement process ends with the goods receipt, which is linked to materials assigned to the network activity. After personnel are assigned to project activities, the project is released for time recording. As work is performed, employees record time in the Cross-Application Time Sheet (CATS) after which it is transferred to project system forecast collection. Period-end activities are carried out with results analysis and project settlement, which can be performed periodically and/or at the end of the project following its technical completion. The project structure allows the dynamic adjustment in scope of activities at any time throughout the project.Contract with auto creation of Project, Down Payments, 3rd Party Material, Personnel Assignment & Milestone Billing Purpose This business scenario addresses the typical business processes of an engineering or industrial design company.An agreement with a customer for a design project requires a down payment and billing based on performance of defined milestones.
