Send ASN
An ASN is an electronic document derived from the shipper document and electronically sent (exported) by a supplier to a customer when a shipment leaves the supplier site. It informs the customer that a shipment is on the way for purposes of in-transit advice and automated receiving. The shipper number becomes the ASN number.
The ASN includes sequence information if the Send Sequences with ASN field is set to Yes in the:
• Sequence Schedule Control (7.5.4.24), or
• Customer Controls Maintenance (7.5.4.1), if used
The ASN is also called an 856 transaction set per the ANSI ASC X12 standard. The ASN takes the place of an invoice in some supplier-customer arrangements. Export an ASN using EDI eCommerce, Shipment ASN Export (35.4.1).
Note: Whether or not an ASN is electronically transmitted using EDI to the customer depends on the setting of the EDI ASN field in Trading Partner Parameters Maintenance (35.13.10). If Yes, then the ASN can be transmitted by EDI.
