| Use this session to view and maintain advance shipment notices, including the receipt of direct deliveries. To view and maintain details of a shipment notice, from the appropriate menu, select Details. To view and maintain details of a shipment notice including related data such as shipment notice lines, routings, and packaging, double-click the shipment notice to open the Shipment Notice (whinh3600m000) session. ASNs are sent by ship-from business partners to register information about goods that are due to arrive. The ASN header contains information about the conveyance, shipper, supplier, and time of arrival. ASNs can be received by EDI or created manually. ASNs that you add manually obtain the Scheduled Manually status. An ASN provides details of shipments that are about to arrive. ASNs can make the receipt process much more efficient. Instead of having to scan an entire conveyance, warehouse personnel can receive a shipment against a previously received ASN. Therefore, the use of ASNs makes the receipt process faster and less prone to error. ASN and handling units When you generate a handling-unit structure for the shipment notice, shipment-notice lines, and item load structure, ERP LN creates the handling unit numbers based on the Internal Handling Unit Mask of the warehouse on the ASN. You can specify the Internal Handling Unit Mask in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session. If no Internal Handling Unit Mask is specified, ERP LN creates the handling unit numbers based on the Handling Unit Mask that you can specify in the Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session. The shipment notice's handling unit is the top handling unit in the handling unit structure. The shipment-notice lines' handling units are the child handling units of the shipment notice's handling unit. The item-load structure's handling units are the child handling units of the shipment-notice lines' handling units. If the ship-from business partner's handling unit numbers are specified on the shipment notice and shipment-notice lines, they are linked to the newly generated internal handling units in the Handling Units (whwmd5130m000) session.
