Overview
- Advanced shipping notice (ASN) is a document that provides detailed information about a pending delivery. The purpose of an ASN is to notify when shipping occurs and provide physical characteristics about the shipment so the warehouse can be prepared to accept the delivery.
- Generally, ASN contains information on how many of each item are being shipped and the physical characteristics of the shipment such as the shipmentâs weight, the number of boxes, and a description of how the shipment units are packaged.
- An ASN also tells which mode of transportation is being used for shipping and provides carrier information.

Enabling ASN Flow

By Default, this is kept as false.
For Inward Orders, the Value of Is ASN Expected takes priority over Partner priority.
