| # Length of ASN Number ERP Enterprise allows you to limit the length of generated shipment and load numbers and, therefore, the length of the ASN number. This feature makes it possible to satisfy requirements/standards of specific branches of industry, such as the VDA standard which limits the length of the ASN number to a maximum of 8 characters. VDA (Verband der Automobilindustry) is a German organization which serves the interests of the automobile industry. Example The example below illustrates how a load/shipment number is generated.
Length Series = 3
Series = AAA
First Free Number = 23
Load Length / Shipment Length = 9 | Number = AAA000023
Load Length / Shipment Length = 8 | Number = AAA00023
Load Length / Shipment Length = 6 | Number = AAA023
When ERP Enterprise creates loads and shipments in Freight, ERP Enterprise applies the Load Length and Shipment Length defined in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session of Warehousing. Note When Freight is implemented as stand-alone application and no Warehousing parameters are present, ERP Enterprise makes use of the actual length of the load and shipment fields. |
