Import ASN
Frequently an ASN is sent using EDI as soon as the shipment leaves the supplier’s shipping dock.
Some suppliers transmit only an ASN. You then treat the ASN as the receiving document and the invoice. Each ASN is identified by an ASN number. This number acts as the shipper number and the invoice number.
Note: Before you can import from a supplier, you need to set up the supplier in Trading Partner Parameters Maintenance (35.13.10).
Document Import
Use Document Import (35.1) to import the ASN. Document Import locates and opens EDI-transmitted documents, in this case the ASN. It then takes the data and converts it into a data format able to be recognized by QAD Enterprise Applications. The ASN is then ready to be processed.
The system generates a report on the import process.
