Inbound Shipments

An Advanced Shipment Notification (ASN) is a record that keeps track of pending deliveries to the facility. In Oracle WMS Cloud, ASNs are required for receiving inventory.
Table 1. Description of ASN Statuses
ASN Status
In Transit The ASN has been created but not yet received.
Receiving Started Receiving for the ASN has started but not completed.
Receiving Complete The ASN has been fully received.
Verified The ASN has been received. (Receipt Confirmation is generated and sent)
Important caveat about editing ASNs

ASNs can only be modified while in “In Transit” status. After an ASN has started receiving, its details cannot be modified (ex. adding items, updating quantities).

The ASN record will specify the items and quantity being received into the warehouse. There are four methods to create ASNs in the Oracle WMS Cloud:
  1. Creating ASNs manually from the “ASNs” screen.
  2. Uploading ASN interfaces manually from the UI.
  3. Interfacing with a host system to automatically process ASNs.
  4. Creating ASNs from existing PO records.
