ASN (Advance shipping notification)and Inbound deliveries

[Former Member]

Gurus,

In our secenario we want to use the functionality of Advance shipping notifications from our vendors through EDI/IDOC, where exactly in the PO screen does the notification number resides and how does this trigger inbound delivery, meaning whether we should still be using VL31n/VL34? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi

The ASN from vendor in form of EDI will be converted into IDoc in SAP and it should trigger VL31N and pass the data.Once Inbound delivery created thru IDoc same will be updated in PO line item details-> Confirmation tab.

You should develop an interface(Program) to convert EDI file from vendor

(normally XML file will converted into IDoc) into Inbound delivery.

Where does the ASN number sit in the PO?Your help is greatly appreciated. Also in case if the system fails to create an inbound delivery how can we create an inbound delivery referencing the ASN?
