|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cross dock area is temporarily area where we are not storing any product
|
|
|
|
|
instead just managing place according to delivery for further customer.
|
|
|
|
|
This will save lot of time for inter warehouse transfer and storing
|
|
|
|
|
process. We are managing our products with docking area where product
|
|
|
|
|
directly place from supplier location and transfer this to gate pass for
|
|
|
|
|
customer delivery.

Product with cross dock

We have created the Vegetable Fennel product and assigned the routes created above

|
|
|
