DESCRIPTION

RWMS publishes ASN messages that RMS and Store systems use to create or modify a shipment record. Any ASN that originates from RWMS is called an “outbound” ASN, also commonly known as a Bill Of Lading (BOL). An ASN that is coming into RWMS from EDI or another instance of RWMS is an “inbound” ASN. 

Inbound ASNs can originate from external systems or from another instance of RWMS. For example, if an outbound shipment occurs because of a transfer to another warehouse, the outbound ASN is transformed into an inbound ASN and routed to the receiving warehouse.  

Any outbound ASNs that originate because of a customer order are sent to RMS. Shipments occurring because of a transfer or an allocation are sent only to RMS. 

The ASN Out to ASN In TAFR operation transforms ASNs that are directed to another warehouse, such as transfers or allocations between two warehouses. It also routes the message to the proper warehouse based on the facility type and the “To” location found in the message data.   

A filter ensures that RMS receives only those ASNOut messages that pertain to Transfers or Allocations. 

Logic similar to that in RWMS exists for SIM. When SIM creates a transfer to a warehouse, it publishes an ASNOut message. This message is converted through the TAFR into in inbound ASN for the warehouse.
