Hello All,
Is anyone using OTM to plan shipments through a deconsolidation or cross
dock facility? We would like to understand how other companies are setting
up the tool to accomplish this.

Thanks,

Hi Beth,

AMS, one of our customers, is currently using OTM to plan cross docks. When you plan a cross dock movement, there will be at least three shipments; the first incoming shipment to the cross dock, a fictitious shipment for the internal handling movement of goods in the cross dock and the delivery shipments.

Besides having to configure rate records for every leg described above you will need to configure an itinerary where you specify the use of the cross dock.

If you need further information, please let me know.
