ADVANCED SHIPPING NOTIFICATION VIA EDI - OUTBOUND

Business Details
This business scenario describes advanced shipping notification (ASN)
between business partners via EDI, which is typical for issuing delivery
documents. When an outbound ASN is generated for a delivery,
referring to the sales order that was created, the outbound EDI file
(ASN) is generated automatically.

Process Flow
The following process flow describes the Advanced Shipping
Notification via EDI Outbound scenario:

Once the sales order is completed using standard functions of

the ERP system, a delivery is created and a goods issue is
posted.

An output message is generated automatically when the

delivery document is saved. For that output message, the
IDoc number can be verified. With that IDoc number, the
accompanying EDI outbound file can be found on the
supplier's ERP system.

An optional check of the contents of the EDI outbound file can

be performed.

The EDI outbound file is automatically sent to the customer.

Key Points

Delivery document outbound processing via EDI is based on

the well-known IDoc processing of the ERP system.

The complete process from the generation of an output

message and the respective IDoc as triggered by the creation
of the delivery document to sending the EDI outbound file to
the customer is automated.
