Incoming Process Flow
With EDI eCommerce:
• Often occurs when there is a significant transportation lead time involved, or
• If the supply chain has recognized the advantage of single keying of dispatches/receipts
ASNs reduce the need for expediting at the customer end by providing visibility while the goods are still in transit.
Note: If you are using EDI eCommerce, an ASN merely needs to be received for items and quantities to make a receipt, rather than keying in all the details again.
Without EDI eCommerce:
• Create a shipper
• Receive the shipper
