This article outlines the steps required to create an Advanced Shipping Notice for Material Stock on Sync
PURPOSE
To enable users to notify the receiving team in advance about expected material stock deliveries by creating an ASN against a Purchase Order in Sync. This also makes the receiving process easier as details relating to the receipt are added in advance and confirmed or ‘Delivered’ when it physically arrives at the warehouse.
KEY BENEFITS
- Improved Visibility: Provides advance notice of incoming materials to receiving and planning teams.
- Streamlined Receiving: Facilitates efficient and accurate receiving processes by pre-capturing shipment details.
- Error Reduction: Helps identify discrepancies in quantity or delivery expectations prior to arrival.
- Traceability: Maintains a clear audit trail linking shipments to corresponding POs and line items.
