Introduction – Advance Ship Notice (ASN) The purpose of this document is to be a comprehensive guide for all Loblaw Warehouse and Direct to Store (DSD) suppliers required to send an advance ship notice (ASN). The Appendix provides information used to set-up and troubleshoot ASNs. Please note that this document assumes the reader has basic understanding of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).

What Is an ASN An Advance Ship Notice is a packing slip that is sent electronically from a supplier to a customer. It confirms the quantity being shipped for each item.

Who Needs to Send an ASN All suppliers are required to send an ASN when delivering Purchase Orders to Loblaw warehouse or store (SAP enabled stores only).

Why Use an ASN The ASN enables warehouses and stores to receive POs more efficiently and accurately as the receiving information is taken from the ASN. The ASN also provides advance notice of short shipments which can be used for the next order cycle.

When to Send an ASN ASNs must be sent any time after the order has been assembled and before leaving the supplier’s warehouse.

How to Start Sending ASNs There are two options all vendors must choose before starting to send ASNs.

1. Send ASNs using SPS Web Fulfillment – Best for vendors that already have an existing account with SPS Commerce

2. Send ASNs using existing EDI systems or 3PL EDI – This options is for vendors that are already using integrated EDI software or a 3PL EDI provider

The steps to get started with either option are listed below:

Option 1: Send ASNs using SPS Web Fulfillment 1. Contact SPS Commerce to get training for Loblaw ASN Web Fulfillment

a. Email: [email protected] b. Phone: 1-888-739-3232

2. Ensure everyone responsible for sending the electronic ASN and the printing the physical labels have completed SPS Web Fulfillment training

3. Contact Loblaw ASN team at [email protected] to send a test ASN 4. Start sending ASNs for all POs on test completion and ASN approval

mailto:[email protected]


5 of 32

Option 2: Send ASNs using existing EDI systems or 3PL EDI 1. Contact SPS Commerce and get certified to send Loblaw ASNs

a. Email: [email protected] b. Phone: 1-866-245-8100

2. Get electronic ASN and label formats validated by SPS Commerce as part of certification (see figure 4 for a sample ASN label with dimensions)

3. Set up ASN mapping with Loblaw via SPS Commerce or vendor third party EDI provider 4. Ensure everyone responsible for sending the electronic ASN and the printing the physical

labels have been trained 5. Contact Loblaw ASN team at [email protected] to send a test ASN 6. Start sending ASNs for all POs on test completion and ASN approval

What are SPS Web Fulfillment SPS Web Fulfillment are wed-based templates that allow you to fill a form with shipment information. This form automatically creates the ASN and the label based on the information entered by the vendor. If this option is chosen, then there is no need for a vendor to be certified by SPS commerce, however training on using the form is required. Any required training will be provided by SPS Commerce.

What are the Costs to Send ASNs Depending on whether the vendor chooses to send ASNs using SPS Web Fulfillment or get certified with SPS Commerce, there are two different types of costs that the vendor may incur. These costs are listed below for both options.

Option 1: Costs when using SPS Web Fulfillment The following is a brief guide of costs associated with sending ASNs using SPS Commerce Web Fulfillment. Please call SPS Commerce for the latest pricing. (pricing may have changed, contact SPS for updated pricing)

1. Scenario 1 – Vendor Services 10 stores and receives 1 order per week, per store:

Base monthly Web Fulfillment Account – $59.00

Document processing for 40 orders and 40 invoices per month – $105.00

Total monthly services amount – $164.00

2. Scenario 2 – Vendor services 10 stores and receives 2 orders per week, per store:




3. Scenario 3 – Vendor services 20 stores and receives 2 orders per week, per store:




4. Seasonal Pricing:

Seasonal vendors can contact SPS Commerce at any time to suspend their account (monthly billing) and re-activate it the following season for a flat $50.00



6 of 32

Option 2: Costs when using existing EDI systems or 3PL EDI

There is a flat fee of $500 when a vendor is certified by SPS Commerce for either DSD or Warehouse. To get certified for both DSD and Warehouse simultaneously, there is a flat fee of $750. These fees cover the cost of the EDI Transaction Testing only. The vendor may still be subject to other fees based on vendor cost agreements with any 3PL EDI provider.

Where to Find ASN Information For further information on the ASN, please refer to Appendix C for instructions on how to log into the Loblaw EDI Library website to find the appropriate ASN related documentation.

ASN Requirements

Before making a delivery to warehouse or store, Vendors must send an ASN electronic document via EDI. This electronic document is used by Loblaw receiver when a PO is delivered to warehouse or store.

ASN EDI Transmission and ASN Pallet Labels

The ASN label is used to link the electronic ASN EDI transmission with the physical pallet. There should be one label per SKU per pallet, this also include if the sku is the same but the code date is unique. ASN labels are required for warehouse deliveries only. The ASNs labels must be generated at the pallet level. Case level ASN labels are not accepted unless specifically directed.

ASN Code Date and Net Weight If a pallet contains multiple code dates or lot numbers of the same SKU, only one ASN label is required for the total quantity. This label must show the oldest code date on the pallet. We do not require lot number on the ASN. If a pallet has catch weight product, vendors must provide the product net weight at the pallet level.

7 of 32

ASN Label Placement For single SKU pallets two ASN labels must be printed. One ASN label must be placed on the top right corner of the 40” side and another on the 48” side as illustrated below in Figure 1.

Figure 1. ASN Label Placement for Single-SKU Pallet

Labeling a Multi-SKU Pallet In some scenarios products will be mixed on a pallet to optimize trailer capacity when shipping. For mixed-SKU pallets, one ASN label must be printed for each unique SKU that is on the pallet. These products must be clearly separated when building the pallet by using cardboard or a slip sheet. The single label must be placed on the 48” side only. Please see figures 2 and 3 below for examples.

Item UPC (GTIN)

The item UPC that is sent on the ASN must match the item UPC that was sent on the Purchase Order (EDI 850 document). The standard UPC code that is used in SAP is a 14 digit UPC as per GTIN specification.

Sample ASN Label with Dimensions

The ASN label formatting follows the MH10 label standards set out by GS1. Below is a completed sample MH10 ASN label made in accordance with GS1 dimension requirements (Figure 4). (See Appendix B for Steps to find GS1 specifications for ASN Barcode (SSCC-18) and the corresponding MAN segment on the ASN Label). Overtime label printers get dirty which makes the ASN barcode un-scannable. Regular printer cleaning and maintenance is required to ensure good ASN print label quality

MAN Segment (SSCC-18)

The MAN is a segment in the EDI transaction. It is a unique numeric value that is assigned per item per pallet. This number is also displayed on a label in human readable and barcode scanning formats. The MAN segment and ASN label is used to link the electronic ASN transmission with the physical pallet. For warehouse deliveries a separate ASN label is required.

Labels are not required for DSD deliveries. ASNs for DSD deliveries can have one MAN segment for the entire PO.

Constructing Unique Vendor MAN Segments The SSCC-18 (also known as the MAN segment) corresponds to the barcode on the ASN label. It is an 18-digit code preceded by the Application Identifier. The steps below outline how vendors can create their MAN numbers to ensure that each number is unique to the vendor. This number must not be reused within a 12 month period.

(00) Y 0 XXXXXX YYYYYYYYYY

1. Each MAN segment must always be preceded by an Application Identifier. The application identifier indicates what data is encoded after it. For the SSCC-18 (MAN segment), the application identifier will always be (00) to indicate this is an SSCC-18 barcode


2. The first digit of the MAN segment (position 1) is called the extension digit. This can be any number. It can also be used in conjunction with step 5 below.


3. The second digit in position 2 is called the 0 filler and always contains a 0 when the shipment is being received from within North America. Otherwise, position 2 contains any digit from 1 to 9.


4. The next 6 digits in the SSCC-18 (position 3 to position 8, all X’s) must contain the vendor’s GS1 Company Prefix. This globally unique number is assigned by GS1 Canada and ensures your pallet labels are unique.


5. The remaining 10 digits (position 9 to position 18, all Y’s) in the SSCC-18 are up to the discretion of the vendor. It can be any counter that the vendor chooses to ensure that each MAN segment is unique for each barcode on the ASN label.

Appendix F: Glossary

3PL: Is a third-party logistics provider. Advance Ship Notice (ASN): An ASN is an electronic packing slip detailing a shipment’s content. BOL: Bill of lading Catch Weight: To keep stock records for your products in the warehouse in two independent units of measure of equal status, in other words, in the logistics unit of measure and in the catch weight unit of measure (for example, in pieces and kilograms). Code Date: Manufacturing date or expiry date depending on what the supplier decides to use.
