Sending Advance Shipping Notices (ASNs)
An advance shipping notice is a document similar to a packing slip you send to customers to confirm that you shipped their order. It is sent from NetSuite WMS to a NetSuite EDI partner to the customer.
If you have enabled the EDI integration to send ASNs, a scheduled script runs every 15 minutes to find all shipped orders for which the customer has requested an ASN. For each identified order, NetSuite WMS creates an ASNC Parent record with the order number and one Stage Outbound ASNC record for each item in the order with the required shipping data. This data is then read by the NetSuite EDI partner, who converts the data into an EDI document and sends the ASN to the customer.
