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.

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.

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.

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, complete these steps:

    • 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.
