For instance, the following scenario:
1. A sales order with item 123 (Warehouse AB)
2. A transfer order with item 123 (from warehouse AB to warehouse CD)
Item 123 is not available in warehouse AB. Therefore, we've two purchase orders:
1. A purchase order for the sales order
2. A purchase order for the transfer
• The put location for the sales order should be the pack location
• The put location for the transfer order should be the ship location
Right now, it is not possible to configure more than 1 ship location. Would be usefully that Dynamics supports multiple ship locations. The reason is that a transfer order might go to a warehouse within the same site, for instance a production warehouse or a service van warehouse. The sales orders goes to the pack location, because it must be packed in a new box (consolidate with other shipment) before dispatching to the customer.

totally agree on that. I´m struggling with the crossdocking templates as well:
It is possible to define a to be used crossdocking template whenever you´re releasing a load to the warehouse. So if you have for instance 3 different templates based on the definition the system will find the one to be used and link it to the planned crossdocking table.
What I found out as well is:
- if one criteria once is used, let´s say a transfer order was release for a certain warehouse and now another one for the same warehouse is going to be released as well the system doesn´t find the correct template again. It looks like if it once was used and linked a supply it´s not used again (kind of strange)
So. The crossdocking template is applied, the directive code is shown in the template and as well is shown on the related location directive to find the correct put location but during pick the system never is able to provide the correct put location.
So you´re receiving goods out of a Purchase Order and you will always put the items to the first existing location taken from the first location directive, even thought the directive code isn´t the right one. So how is that link working?
It must be possible to define during put away which baydoor should be chosen otherwise this crossdocking functionality isn´t useful because if I don´t know where to put stuff to I don´t know what to do. The worker needs to know to which load/shipment the inventory needs to be given to and the best indication would be a baydoor location (even though if it only would be a systematic location but it´s an indication)
