ASN – ADVANCE SHIP NOTICE (EDI 856)
DEFINITION:

* AN ELECTRONIC VERSION OF A PACKING SLIP LETTING BUYERS KNOW HOW A
SUPPLIER HAS PACKED THEIR ITEMS FOR SHIPMENT AS WELL AS WHEN TO EXPECT
DELIVERY

* USED FOR SHIP-TO-DC AND SHIP-TO-CONSUMER ORDER MANAGEMENT MODELS

* REQUIRED BY RETAILERS AND GROCERS AROUND THE GLOBE

* GROWING IN POPULARITY BECAUSE OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN AUTOMATION
BENEFITS FOR THE RECEIVER
Why is the ASN so Relevant?
              Massive trends in retail distribution
               – With spending down and costs up, retailers are
                 forced to look inward to save money
               – Retailers are updating their DCs to enable auto-
                 receiving and cross-docking
               – Driving huge increase in ASN requirements
                 across all models: Drop Ship, DC, Store etc.

ASNs are Complicated

   An actual integrated ASN needs:
    – barcode scanning
    – auto weight calculations
    – packing validation
    – UOM conversions
    – data to live IN netsuite
    – labels printed at time of packing



   Many ERP solutions, including NetSuite, are not the
    system of record for required ASN shipment information
    – Such as carton-level & cross-dock details, carrier details, etc

Beware: Anyone offering an integrated ASN
