Advance Ship Notice

The Advance Ship Notice (or ASN) is a document used by a supplier to send you shipping information for your ordered items. An ASN can contain:

The shipping date
The quantity and description of goods in the shipment
The number, type of packages, contents and identifiers
The carrier used and carrier-specific tracking identification

The ASN is not a document required by the system workflow, but a convenience for the supplier and buyer. The Supplier has the option to send:

An ASN containing planned shipment information, on receipt (and acceptance) of an order
An ASN containing actual shipment information, when goods are actually shipped
Both, or
Neither

The user is not required to acknowledge receipt of an ASN. If you want to respond to an ASN or request shipping changes, you may send a reply to the supplier by e-mail (outside of Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition.)
