Organize a cross-dock in a warehouse
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
Cross-docking is the process of sending products that are received directly to the customers, without making them enter the stock. The trucks are simply unloaded in a *Cross-Dock* area in order to reorganize products and load another truck.

For more information on how to organize your warehouse, read our blog: `What is cross-docking and is it for me? <https://www.odoo.com/blog/business-hacks-1/post/what-is-cross-docking-and-is-it-for-me-270>`__

Configuration
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
In the *Inventory* app, open :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings` and activate the *Multi-Step Routes*.

|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Doing so will also enable the *Storage Locations* feature.
|
|
|
|
Now, both *Incoming* and *Outgoing* shipments should be configured to work with 2 steps. To adapt
|
|
the configuration, go to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Warehouses` and edit your
|
|
warehouse.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
This modification will lead to the creation of a *Cross-Docking* route that can be found in
|
|
:menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Routes`.

Configure products with Cross-Dock Route
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
Create the product that uses the *Cross-Dock Route* and then, in the inventory tab, select the routes *Buy* and *Cross-Dock*. Now, in the purchase tab, specify the vendor to who you buy the product and set a price for it.

Once done, create a sale order for the product and confirm it. Odoo will automatically create two transfers which will be linked to the sale order. The first one is the transfer from the *Input Location* to the *Output Location*, corresponding to the move of the product in the *Cross-Dock* area. The second one is the delivery order from the *Output Location* to your *Customer Location. Both are in state *Waiting Another Operation* because we still need to order the product to our supplier.

|
|
|
|
Now, go to the *Purchase* app. There, you will find the purchase order that has been automatically triggered by the system. Validate it and receive the products in the *Input Location*.

|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
When the products have been received from the supplier, you can go back to your initial sale order and validate the internal transfer from *Input* to *Output*.

The delivery order is now ready to be processed and can be validated too.
