Generating an ASN can be a fairly automatic process; however, you must provide the system with the details of yow your Trading Partner wishes to see their ASN structured. As such, you will need to ensure you have set the ASN Type within your Shipment (or default it) so that TrueCommerce's extension knows how to pack the data.

Setting the ASN Type for a specific Transaction


Navigate: Shipment → Related → TrueCommerce

Select: TC ASN Type from the Dropdown

Defaulting the ASN Type in Dynamics 365 Business Central


Want a specific Trading Partner to always default to a particular ASN Type? You can set it within Dynamics 365 Business Central under the TC Customer Template.

Navigate Option A: TrueCommerce → TC ASN → TC Customer Settings

Navigation Option B: Sales Order/Shipment → Related → TC ASN → TC Customer Settings → (Select Customer - in View Mode)

Select: ASN Type

Defaulting the ASN Type in Transaction Manager


Need to use multiple ASN types? Setting the Default ASN type within Transaction Manager can allow you to set a fallback value when conditions are not met for other types. Simply mark the Default ASN Type within your Default Settings for your Trading Partner.

Navigate: Trading Partners → Translations → Defaults

Enter: Default ASN Type
