Shipment Notices (whinh3100m000)

Use this session to view and maintain advance shipment notices, including the receipt of direct deliveries.

To view and maintain details of a shipment notice, from the appropriate menu, select Details. To view and maintain details of a shipment notice including related data such as shipment notice lines, routings, and packaging, double-click the shipment notice to open the Shipment Notice (whinh3600m000) session.

ASNs are sent by ship-from business partners to register information about goods that are due to arrive. The ASN header contains information about the conveyance, shipper, supplier, and time of arrival.

ASNs can be received by EDI or created manually. ASNs that you add manually obtain the Scheduled Manually status.

An ASN provides details of shipments that are about to arrive. ASNs can make the receipt process much more efficient. Instead of having to scan an entire conveyance, warehouse personnel can receive a shipment against a previously received ASN. Therefore, the use of ASNs makes the receipt process faster and less prone to error.

Note

Use the Maps section to view the location of the Delivery Address. You must select only one record at a time.

ASN and handling units

When you generate a handling-unit structure for the shipment notice, shipment-notice lines, and item load structure, LN creates the handling unit numbers based on the Internal Handling Unit Mask of the warehouse on the ASN. You can specify the Internal Handling Unit Mask in the Warehouse (whwmd2500m000) session.

If no Internal Handling Unit Mask is specified, LN creates the handling unit numbers based on the Handling Unit Mask that you can specify in the Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session.

The shipment notice's handling unit is the top handling unit in the handling unit structure. The shipment-notice lines' handling units are the child handling units of the shipment notice's handling unit. The item-load structure's handling units are the child handling units of the shipment-notice lines' handling units.

If the ship-from business partner's handling unit numbers are specified on the shipment notice and shipment-notice lines, they are linked to the newly generated internal handling units in the Handling Units (whwmd5130m000) session.

 

Ship-from Business Partner
The business partner that ships the ordered goods to your organization. This usually represents a supplier's distribution center or warehouse. The definition includes the default warehouse at which you want to receive the goods and if you want to inspect the goods, the carrier that takes care of the transport, and the related buy-from business partner.
Ship-from Business Partner
The name of the business partner.
Shipment

If an ASN is received, the ASN's number is the first free number of the series that is specified in the Series for Inbound field of the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.

Status
The advance shipment notice's status. For further information, see Advanced Shipping Note status.
Direct Delivery
If this check box is selected, the ASN includes direct delivery or project delivery lines.
External Handling Unit
The external handling unit is the handling unit number provided by the ship-from business partner . If the ship-from business partner did not provide a handling unit number for the ASN line, LN does not fill this field.
Handling Unit
The internal handling unit number generated in the current session. This handling unit number is used to process the goods. If you generate a handling unit and an external handling unit is provided by the supplier that is unique in LN, this external handling unit code is used in LN to process the goods. If required, you can generate another handling unit to replace the handling unit in this field.
Planned Delivery Date
The date for which delivery of a shipment is planned.
Warehouse
The warehouse to which the supplier plans to deliver the goods.
Delivery Carrier
The carrier that will deliver the shipment.
Carrier PRO Number
The number given by the carrier to identify the load or shipment. The carrier uses this number for tracking purposes.
ASN Arrival Date
The date on which the ASN arrives or the date on which the ASN is manually created.

You can not change the ASN Arrival Date.

ASN Creation Date
The date on which the ASN is sent by EDI.

You can manually change the ASN Creation Date.

Freight Load
The load to which the ASN refers. You can:
  • Zoom to the Planned Loads/Shipments (whinh4180m000) session to select a load created for a specific warehousing order
  • Zoom to the Loads (whinh4140m000) session to select a load that can be associated with more than one warehousing order.
  • Zoom to the First Free Numbers (tcmcs0150m000) session to select a series to generate a load number. This number is used to calculate freight costs for direct delivery ASNs in Freight.
Freight Shipment
The shipment to which the ASN refers. You can:
  • Zoom to the Planned Loads/Shipments (whinh4180m000) session to select a shipment belonging to a load created for a specific warehousing order.
  • Zoom to the Shipments (whinh4130m000) session to select a shipment belonging to a load that can be associated with more than one warehousing order.
  • Zoom to the First Free Numbers (tcmcs0150m000) session to select a series to generate a shipment number. This number is used to calculate freight costs for direct delivery ASNs in Freight.
Gross Weight
Total weight of the shipment.
Weight Unit
The unit in which the weight is expressed.
Shipment Reference
The purchase schedule's reference that is used to receive sequenced shipments based on a purchase schedule.

When a handling unit is generated for the shipment notice, the reference is also linked to the handling unit. When handling units with references are received, the references are also linked to the created receipt lines. When the receipt (line) is confirmed, the reference is, together with other receipt information, passed on to Purchase Control. Purchase Control, in turn, passes on the reference to Assembly Control to inform that the sequenced shipment is arrived.
