Advance Shipment Notice Inbound
Suppliers send an advance shipment notice (ASN) message to buyers to notify them when shipping occurs and provide details about the shipment so that the buyer can be prepared to accept delivery.
The advance shipment notice inbound message is part of procure-to-pay set up. After you enable the procure-to-pay business process, the Process Shipment Inbound document is available for set up.
There's an additional configuration option for the Process Shipment Inbound document:
-
Retrieve Supplier Site from PO
You need to select this option so that the purchase order number in the payload is used to find the supplier site.
The data that's received in the message is processed using the Staged Receiving Transaction Interface Version 2 service. See the Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM: SOAP Web Services for SCM guide for details.
After you receive this message you need to run a scheduled process to be able to see the ASN information in Manage Inbound Shipments. See the Receiving Transactions Processor section in the Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM: Using Receiving guide for details.
These are the predefined cXML message definitions for the inbound advance shipping notice:
