Shipment Notice (whinh3600m000)

Use this session to view and maintain details of a shipment notice including related data such as shipment notice lines, routings, and packaging. In this session, you can also perform the receipt of direct deliveries.

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.
  • To delete the current ASN:

    • If the status is Received, click Remove Shipment Notices on the appropriate menu.
    • If the status is other than Received, see the previous step or click Delete on the toolbar. Make sure that no ASNs are deleted that still need processing.

  • Zoom to the Loads (whinh4140m000) session to select a load that can be associated with more than one warehousing order.

You can:

  • Zoom to the Planned Loads/Shipments (whinh4180m000) session to select a shipment belonging to a load created for a specific warehousing order.

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.

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 does 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.

You can manually change the ASN Creation Date.

Note

If you manually create an ASN, the default ASN Creation Date is the current date and time.

You can not change the ASN Arrival Date.
