Cross-Docking (CD) in SAP

Optimized flow of goods in SAP EWM by
avoiding storage and removal steps

The SERKEM solution in detail

In cross-docking, goods are moved directly from the receiving area to the shipping area in just one warehouse movement. No storage or picking steps are performed in between.

There are two basic types of cross-docking, both of which are supported in SAP EWM:

  • Planned Cross-Docking (CD):
    Here, the decision to use cross-docking is made before the goods arrive and are received into the warehouse.
  • Opportunistic Cross-Docking (CD):
    The decision to use cross-docking is made only after the goods have arrived in the warehouse and the receiving process has already started.
