Details on ASN

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am a XI developer. I am very new to SRM. Can I get some information(In very simple terms) about the functionallity, purpose or need of SRM and also some information about ASN(Advanced Shipment Notification).

Any links or docs on the same would be helpful.

Thanks & Regards,

Jai Shankar.

Hi Jai,

You have got many replies.

But since you said you are an XI man, something about that.

In MM-SUS scenario XI plays a major role.

as the the R/3 system only outputs IDOC (intermidiate documents) by system design and SUS only accepts XML (extensible mark up language) formats.

This gap is bridged by yr Exchange infrastructure which converts an IDOC to XML and vice versa.

When the XML is originated from SUS it's converted to IDOC by XI.

There are various types of IDOC.

e.g the IDOC for ASN is indiacated by DESADV.
