An advance ship notice (ASN) is an electronic document that lists the details of a forthcoming shipment of goods. Although the ASN repeats much of the information that was on the original purchase order, it adds information such as carton identifications, content descriptions and transportation details. ASNs can help reduce shipping errors by providing better visibility and validation throughout the transportation process.
Benefits
- Streamline Operations—ASNs enable better warehouse inventory control and management and reduce errors. Fewer errors translate into fewer claims, fewer returns and fewer charge-backs.
- Improve Customer Service—ASNs can improve relationships with trading partners and the quality of the customer experience through improved accuracy.
- Increase Productivity—GXS ASN products increase productivity by automating back-office functions. Since ASNs are based on electronic purchase orders, there's no need to manually re-key data. And, auto-population of fields and scan verification during the packing process can reduce shipping errors.
- Reduce Call Volume—ASNs can reduce the volume of inbound calls from buyers who are checking the status of shipments and orders.
