Process documentationOutbound Execution Using the Shipping Cockpit

 

You can use the Shipping Cockpit – Execution for outbound execution using transportation units (TUs). It focuses on the main execution and monitoring tasks that are carried out in the shipping office.

The shipping office clerk monitors the warehouse progress of the outbound delivery orders assigned to TUs that are due to leave the warehouse today, in order to recognize potential delays. If a truck arrives, the shipping office clerk, for example, posts arrival at checkpoint and assigns a door. When the truck leaves, the shipping office clerk posts departure from door, goods issue, and departure from checkpoint.

To reduce the amount of time the clerk needs to spend working in the system, several actions are bundled together to be executed in a series in order to speed up the processing. For more information, see chapter Actions.

  • Reverse the indication that the TU has arrived at the checkpoint
