Consolidate license plates should be enabled for cross docking LPs on staging location.
For sales picking work on a staging location, the mobile device menu item Consolidate license plates can be used if these target license plates are for the same shipment.
For cross docking work with a pick-put-pick-put (via a staging location), this functionality should be possible as well if these target license plates are for the same shipment.
Comments
The basic situation is this:Goods arrive from POs/TOs to fulfill open demand for a TO/SOInstead of a new LP for each item, the cross-docking work is consolidated to an existing pallet LP. In the TO example, it greatly simplifies receiving at the destination because the worker only needs to scan the single pallet LP, not an LP for every different that was cross docked. One enhancement that I would add to the existing idea, if it were taken up, would be to also enable the Confirm and Transfer Feature to support for LP Consolidation. My suggestion would close the loop on instances where you successfully cross docked to an existing pallet in staging, but for any number of reasons you are unable load the pallet onto the truck. Confirm and transfer should spin the In process work off to a new load; however, this is not supported today.

Thank you for your feedback. Currently this is not in our roadmap; however, we are tracking it and if we get more feedback and votes, we may consider it in the future.
