Load ASN function
If the Create TWL ASN option in Vendor Setup-Ordering is not selected, you can use the function from the RF. Use this function to request a specific ASN by scanning the shipment and package IDs or specifying them in the ASN Inquiry screen.
An exact match is required. Scanning is preferred, but you can specify the EDI shipment ID and the EDI package ID in the Shipment ID field. If you do not know the ASN number, you can perform a search against the shipment ID or vendor number. A search is performed to check the Purchase Batch Receiving Entry records in the system.
To pull the ASN into TWL from the system, a pre-receive release transaction is created through the WL Transaction Inquiry. These transactions are created in TWL:
- Master RT transaction with the shipment ID loaded
- AR (ASN Load Request) transaction
The pre-receive release transactions track the ASN including the shipment ID, operator, and time and date. You can view the AR transactions in inquiry functions like any other receipt transaction.
After the ASN is in TWL, you can use the function in Receiving - Receipt Inq/Update to receive the ASN. The function finds RT transactions with a shipment ID loaded. They are found even if they were created from within TWLTWL as an unplanned receipt from a packing list.
If the vendor is set up to allow auto-receiving, then the RF operator is prompted to auto-receive the full amount of the ASN.
