Cross Docking![]() |
Cross-docking is a way to move materials directly from the goods receipt area to the shipping area without first being stored. Cross-docking can be planned or opportunistic, as well as executed in one step (directly from GR to GI) or two steps (going first to a specified cross-docking storage type for repacking or labeling for example).

Inbound Processing and Receipt Confirmation![]() |
You can use this business process to confirm receipt of goods. In Enterprise Buyer, requesters can create confirmations themselves, even if the purchase order is in the backend system. It is possible to create express confirmations directly in the Check Status application without having to switch to another application. Alternatively, an internal dispatcher or shipping department can take delivery of goods and confirm centrally. In this case, an additional approval workflow through the requisitioner is possible. Then, the goods receipt is posted in the backend system. Inbound processing covers the physical inbound delivery processing that succeeds the procurement process. It includes ASN processing, physical Goods Receipt and putaway of materials in Warehouse Management up to sending the proof of delivery to the business partners
