Advanced Shipping Notice

Target audience

• Customer organizations

Purpose

An ASN (Advanced Shipping Notice) shows the direct sales delivery information as created by the supplier based on a delivery moment and the shipped SalesOrders. The ASN contains information about the shipped loadCarriers with the contained items and a reference to the SalesOrder, the delivery location and status.

Guidance

• Advanced Shipping Notice, or ASN for short, is always based on sales orders and fulfilment orders known in Floriday;
• Can be used to replace the older Edifact DESADV message;
• ASN contains logistic information about the fulfillment orders from suppliers, such as:
  • fulfillmentOrderId;
  • expectedDeliveryDateTime;
  • deliveryLocation;
  • despatchLocation;
  • createdDateTime;
  • load carrier information;
  • documentReference;
• ASN contains information about which sales order is placed on which load carrier;
• The salesOrderId in the ASN replaces the less reliable customerOrderReference in the DESADV;
• By using the salesOrderId, a customer can retreive financial information regarding the fulfillment order from Floriday as well;
• An ASN can be used in the warehouse for declaring incoming loadCarriers.
