Outbound deliveries and outbound delivery orders that are relevant for transportation planning in SAP ERP are not relevant for transportation cross-docking in EWM (see Transportation Cross-Docking (TCD)).

In case of a late split of an outbound delivery order by means of a process code or item deletion, the system does not automatically take over the TU assignment from the old outbound delivery order to the new outbound delivery order.

The following screens display the transportation planning type, which indicates the system that is responsible for the transportation planning:

Upon an update of TU information to delivery, the system starts a new staging area and door determination based on the new transportation information such as carrier, means of transport, handling unit type of the TU packaging material.

When a door is assigned to an item, the system redetermines the staging area by using the assigned door.

The Blocked (Transp. Plan) status on delivery header and item level blocks EWM execution as long as transportation planning results aremissing. Depending on your Customizing, you can manually release a delivery for execution in EWM before the results of the transportation planning are available. For more information, see Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under  Goods Receipt Process Inbound Delivery Integration with Transportation Allow EWM Execution Without Transportation Planning (Inbound) or  Goods Issue Process Outbound Delivery Integration with Transportation Allow EWM Execution Without Transportation Planning (Outbound) .

If you want to process your delivery without waiting for the TU assignment, you do not need to use the status Blocked (Transp. Plan).

The Transport Plan status indicates whether a transportation plan exists for an inbound delivery, similarly to the status of an outbound delivery order.
