Shipment Notice Lines (whinh3101m000)
Use this session to view and maintain advance shipment notice lines. ASN lines contain information about orders that are about to arrive, such as items, quantities, and packaging. ASN lines can refer to orders to be delivered to your warehouse, direct delivery orders, or project delivery orders to be delivered to a project location.
Stock point details in ASN lines
If an ASN includes information on lot or serialized items for which the low volume scenario is used, the stock point details are either consolidated in the Shipment Notice Line Stock Point Details (whinh3105m000) session, or an ASN line is created for each individual serialized item or other stock point detail.
This depends on the contents of the outgoing and the incoming ASN messages. The contents of the outgoing message for the shipment is copied to the incoming ASN message. If the outgoing ASN message contains consolidated low volume lot or serial information, this information is copied to the incoming ASN message. The consolidated low volume lot or serial information is converted to a single ASN line, and the stock point details are displayed in the Shipment Notice Line Stock Point Details (whinh3105m000) session.
If the outgoing or incoming ASN messages do not contain consolidated lot or serial information, a separate ASN line is created for each lot or each individual serial number.
The Consolidate Stock Points in one Shipment Line check box in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session determines whether the stock point details are consolidated in the outgoing shipment and the outgoing ASN message.
If the ASN includes information on lot or serialized items for which the high volume scenario is used, LN creates an ASN line for each order line of the order to which the ASN refers. The serial numbers are listed in the Shipment Notice Line Stock Point Details (whinh3105m000) session for each ASN line.
Manually created ASNs
If you manually create an ASN and ASN line, you must link an order line to the ASN line. You can link expected order lines, direct delivery order lines, or order lines for projects without warehouses to a manually created ASN line. To link an order line to a manually created ASN line, in this session, proceed as follows:
Expected order lines
- Select the Search for Item check box. As a result, the Item field becomes available.
- In the Item field, zoom to the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) session to select the item for the order line that you want to link to the ASN line. As a result, you can select an expected order line based on the item you just entered in this field and the ship-from business partner entered for the current ASN line.
- In the Order Line field, zoom to the Expected Order Lines (whinh3820m000) session to select the expected order line that you want to link to the ASN line.
Direct delivery order lines
- Select the Search for Direct Delivery check box. As a result, in the Order Line field you can select a direct delivery line for the ship-from business partner of the current ASN line.
- In the Order Line field, zoom to the Purchase Order Lines Monitor (tdpur4501m500) session to select the direct delivery line that you want to link to the ASN line. For this purpose, the Purchase Order Lines Monitor (tdpur4501m500) session only displays direct delivery lines.
Order lines for projects without warehouses
- Select the Search for Lines with Infor LN Project without Warehouse check box. As a result, in the Order Line field you can select a project delivery line for the ship-from business partner of the current ASN line.
- In the Order Line field, zoom to the Purchase Order Lines Monitor (tdpur4501m500) session to select the project delivery line that you want to link to the ASN line. For this purpose, the Purchase Order Lines Monitor (tdpur4501m500) session only displays project delivery lines.
Field Information
- Ship-from Business Partner
- Shipment
-
The advance shipment notice's number.
- Sequence
-
The sequence number of the ASN line.
- Order Data Missing
-
If this check box is selected, order data such as the purchase schedule or purchase order ID is missing for the current ASN line.
If the ASN status is ASN Received, you can add the missing order data and use the option to schedule the ASN.
If you try to schedule an ASN without adding the missing data first, this question is displayed:
"Shipment Notice is missing order data. After Scheduling this cannot be changed anymore. Continue?”
Note:This applies if the Schedule ASNs when Order Data is missing check box is cleared in the Warehousing Settings by Site (whwmd2101m000) or the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.
If the Schedule ASNs when Order Data is missing check box is selected, ASNs with missing order data are automatically set to Scheduled and you cannot modify these ASNs.
- EDI Status
-
The advance shipment notice's status.
Allowed values
- Open
-
The initial status for manually created inbound ASNs.
- Prepare
-
A shipment is created for the ship-to business partner and a message must be created in EDI.
In the EDI Messages Supported by Business Partner (ecedi0111s000) session, you can specify that an EDI message (nr. 856) must be prepared for the ship-to business partner if a shipment is created. In the Confirm Outbound ASN (whinh4230m100) session, you can confirm the ASN. As a result, the ASN obtains the Confirmed status.
However, if ASNs are automatically generated for shipments, the Prepare status is not used. In the Generate ASNs Automatically check box of the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session, you can set the parameter that controls automatic generation of ASNs for shipments.
- Scheduled
-
The inbound ASN is created by EDI and the goods have not yet been received.
- Scheduled Manually
-
The user has scheduled the manually created inbound ASN. The goods have not yet been received. You cannot cancel or replace an ASN that is scheduled manually (not created by an EDI message).
- Under Review
-
The manually created inbound ASN is modified and the goods have not yet been received.
- ASN Received
-
The inbound ASN is created by EDI, but the planned delivery date is blank. After rescheduling the ASN, the ASN receives the status Scheduled.
- Received
-
The goods on the ASN are received.
- Confirmed
-
LN has prepared a message in EDI, therefore the ASN can be generated and sent to the receiver of the goods.
- Sent
-
The ASN is sent successfully.
- Replaced
-
When a revised ASN message is received, the previous ASN is set to the Replaced status. Thereafter, a new ASN is created in the Shipment Notices (whinh3100m000) session with the Scheduled status.
Note:The Replaced status is valid for the inbound ASNs only.
When an ASN has the Replaced status, you cannot make any changes to the ASN header or ASN Lines.
When an ASN is set to Replaced status, the ASN cannot be received in the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session.
An error message is logged in the Received EDI Messages Errors (ecedi7151m100) session if receiving an replacement message is not successful.
- Not Applicable
-
When an ASN message is not created, the EDI Status field is set to Not Applicable.
Example: An ASN message might not be created due to the following reasons:
- The EDI is not implemented.
- The order origin of the related shipment lines is not Sales or Sales Schedule.
- The Ship-to Business Partner has no EDI relation defined in EDI Messages Supported by Business Partner (ecedi0111s000) session.
Note: The Not Applicable status is valid only for the outbound shipments. - Disapproved
-
An error notification to the effect that something went wrong with the outbound ASN is received in EDI. It depends on the EDI setup whether the error message is displayed as EDI Text.
- Modify
-
The disapproved outbound ASN is modified and ready to be confirmed.
- Canceled
-
The ASN is canceled. When an ASN is canceled, an EDI message is received with the EDI Status field set to Canceled. In this case, the original shipment notice is set to Canceled status and a new ASN is not created.
You cannot cancel or replace an ASN that is scheduled manually (not created by an EDI message).
Note:You cannot make any change to the ASN header or ASN lines if an ASN is set to the Canceled status.
An error message is logged in the Received EDI Messages Errors (ecedi7151m100) session if receiving a cancellation message is not successful.
After a shipment notice is canceled, the shipment notice cannot be used for receiving the related order lines in the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session.
