SAP EWM - Opp. Cross-Docking : RF device mandatory

[Former Member]

Hi All,

My client has a requirement to deploy opp. cross-docking ( EWM triggered), however they are not in a position to use the RF devices during delivery processing due to some shop-floor operational issues, instead they prefer to post txn using desktops. Is it possible to deploy opportunistic CD without RF devices ? if no, is there any other workarounds that I can look into ?

Your response is much appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hi,

I don't think that the EWM controlled opportunistic cross-docking does completely required the use of RF.

CD can cancel existing WTs in order to do a cross-docking instead, for this the WT to be cancelled must be in a RF relevant queue. But if you don't need this, opp.CD can be used paper-based.

Or does anyone say otherwise?

And it is EWM. NOT eWM - Duh!
And if your question includes the word "transfer order" - do NOT tag the question with Extended Warehouse Management!

Appreciated you response Juergen.Your point taken, btw I'm still looking into different avenues on how to go about this. What I'm not sure is whether there are any other constrains within EWM that blocks and jeopardize my process due to not use of RF (Other than the limitation during cancelling existing putaway tasks assigned to RF queues). Anyway I'm in the process of testing this end to end.

Any other ideas are welcome please...

Cheers !
