ASN – ADVANCE SHIP NOTICE (EDI 856)
Why is the ASN so Relevant?
Massive trends in retail distribution– With spending down and costs up, retailers are
forced to look inward to save money– Retailers are updating their DCs to enable auto-
receiving and cross-docking– Driving huge increase in ASN requirements
across all models: Drop Ship, DC, Store etc.

ASNs are Complicated
An actual integrated ASN needs:
– barcode scanning
– auto weight calculations
– packing validation
– UOM conversions
– data to live IN netsuite
– labels printed at time of packing
Many ERP solutions, including NetSuite, are not the system of record for required ASN shipment information
– Such as carton-level & cross-dock details, carrier details, etc
