Adding an ASN/Receipt without a PO

If a PO has not been specified for the inbound order, you can manually specify all information into the ASN/Receipt form.

A system-generated ASN Number is automatically created. This number can be changed to a non-sequential value. For example, you can add a letter or name. If the number is changed to a sequential number that has not yet been used by the system, it could cause duplication errors, resulting in system termination.

Note:  You can use the Excel Import and Export features to create or update ASNs. With the Import feature, you can import, at a minimum, only the fields required to create an ASN; or you can import additional data into other ASN fields. With the Export feature, you can export all of the ASN data to an Excel worksheet. For additional information on the Import and Export features, see Infor WMS Introduction and Navigation User Guide.

To add an ASN/Receipt directly on a workstation without a PO:

  1. Select Inbound > ASN/Receipt. The ASN/Receipt screen is displayed in List view.
  2. Click New. The ASN/Receipt and ASN/Receipt Detail screens display.
  3. In the Owner field, specify the ASN/Receipt owner.
  4. In the Type field, select an ASN/Receipt type.
    • If the ASN/Receipt type selected is CustomerReturn, click the General tab. Within the Returned Lots field, select Yes or No (default value) to track the returned shipment order lot for the Ship To. Within the Ship To Code field, click the Lookup icon and select the applicable Ship To customer from the list. If the Returned Lots field value is Yes, Ship To is a required field. (Note that the Returned Lots and Ship To fields on the General tab are only editable if the ASN/Receipt type is CustomerReturn.)
  5. In the Carrier Code field, specify the carrier code.
  6. In the Trailer Number field, specify the trailer number. The Trailer and Trailer Status screens are updated with this information.
    • If required for the items on the receipt, click the Carrier tab and specify the average temperature of the trailer in the Temperature field.
  7. In the Expected Arrival Date field, specify the date the product is scheduled for receipt.
  8. If processing a Case Level or SSCC receipt type, click the General tab and select Yes in the Allow Auto Receipt field. For more information, see the Using the Auto Receipt option topic for more details.
