Creating Advance Ship Notices (ASNs) is a built in functionality within the TrueCommerce Extension that provides the ability to create and send these ASNs to your Trading Partner with all the EDI specific Packaging Information that instructs your Partner how your Shipment has been packed (such as SOPI or SOIP).

To create and view ASNs - you'll want to navigate to the Ship Notice section of the the TrueCommerce department. You'll need to start off by creating the Ship Notice and then Posting it where you can then finally Send the ASN.

Navigate: Departments → TrueCommerce → Ship Notice → Ship Notices

Select: New

You'll want to fill out the following details in the order they appear below in order for the Ship Notice entry to be able to pull the information from either a Sales Order or a Shipment from within NAV so that the items can be packaged.

Sell-to Customer No: The NAV Customer number

Source Type: Where to pull item information from (Sales Order or Shipment)

Document No: The Document Number to pull

ASN Type: How to Package the Document for the Trading Partner

Note: Your Document No is filtered by the Ship To and the Location Code options - if you fill those out you will only see Orders/Shipments that fall under those categories.

Note: In order for your Sales Order to appear - it must be in the Released status.

Once you have the source document information configured (Customer No, Source Type, Document No, etc) you'll be able to start adding your items in the configuration that your Trading Partner is requesting.

With your Order selected - any available items that are left to be packed for the selected Order will appear down at the Items group towards the bottom of the Ship Notice window.

Note: When using the Source Type of Sales Order your Items must have the Qty. to Ship column filled out for each item to be available

If your Trading Partner is look for your Packages or Items to be placed upon a Tare (also known as a Pallet) you can add them by selling the Add Tare option.

From here - you can select the Tare within the Lines group below - and begin adding Packages or Items

Navigate: Home tab

Select: Add tare

Adding Packages

In order to add a Package (also known as a Carton) you can select the Add Package option.

Navigate: Home tab

Select: Add Package

Adding Items

Adding an Item follows the same logic - it will automatically add items based on their Line # following the ordering of the Document that was selected.

Navigate: Home tab

Select: Add Item

Once your ASN has been properly created and is ready to be sent to the Trading Partner - you'll need to Post your Ship Notice first.

Navigate: Home tab

Select: Post

Once your Ship Notice has been Posted you'll find it under the Posted Ship Notices option within the TrueCommerce - Ship Notice navigation

Navigate: Departments → TrueCommerce → Ship Notice → Posted Ship Notices

Sending ASN

With your Posted Ship Notices selected - you can push them to the Outbound Messages by selecting the Send ASN option to create the Outbound Message

Navigate: Departments → TrueCommerce → Ship Notice → Posted Ship Notices

Select: Send ASN

Your ASN will now appear within the Outbound Messages ready to be sent to Transaction Manager
