DESCRIPTION |
ASN inbound messages are advanced shipment notification (ASN) messages that inform RWMS or SIM to expect a shipment of merchandise. These messages can originate from an outside vendor, from another RWMS instance, or from SIM (in the case of a transfer or allocation shipment). RMS and Store systems subscribe to ASN inbound messages (as well as RWMS). RMS and Store systems use the ASN inbound message to create shipment records. For ASNs originating from external vendors or SIM, the message is routed to the proper RWMS warehouse instance based on the facility type found in the routing information and the To location found in the message data. SIM will subscribe to any messages routed to a store from a vendor or warehouse. Because only one database instance exists for SIM, all ASN messages bound for a store will be subscribed to. For transfers between warehouses, ASN Inbound messages are created when RWMS publishes an ASN Outbound message. The outbound message is a notification that a shipment is leaving the warehouse. Transformation from an ASN Outbound (from the warehouse) to an ASN Inbound (to the specific distribution center) occurs, routing the transformed message to the appropriate subscribing systems. |
