1 Overview New ASN Process
1.1 Due Deliveries
All demands from your customer are consolidated into the so called „Due Deliveries“. The due deliveries
give you an overview over all materials that you have to ship including quantity, delivery date and
consignee. You will see all due deliveries independent of demand type but grouped by customer plant
and unloading point so that you can simply focus on the materials that you have to ship.
1.2 Data Flow
Your customer can configure for each network link which information he requires and how it should be
validated. This means, for each customer plant your ASN process can look different.
Your customer can also determine which ASN creation methods are available for you.
However, independent of the input method, the data is booked into the SupplyOn application and
validated according to the same customer specific requirements. So independent of the ASN creation
method that you use, the customer will receive the same data.
Public 4/24
1.3 User Interface
For a general introduction to the new SupplyOn user interface components please see the Training
Videos.
The ASN details screen contains of a header, a main part with several tabs that contain the actual ASN
data, and a footer with several function buttons.
Your customer can make the following configurations for each network link, this means you can have
different settings for each customer plant that you work with.
Which tabs are displayed
Which input fields are visible
Which input fields are editable
Which input fields are mandatory (mandatory fields are yellow)
Public 5/24
Further validations, for example if positions from different purchase order can be included in one
ASN or if several different delivery note numbers can be used in one ASN.
1.3.1 Header
The header contains the fields
ASN Number
ASN Date
ASN Status
1.3.2 Tabs
During the ASN creation you can freely navigate between the different tabs to fill out all information.
Which tabs are displayed depends on the configuration of your customer for your network link.
Public 6/24
1.3.2.1 Positions
On the positions tab you see the most important information for each position included in the ASN.
1.3.2.2 Single Packs
If you click on the “Details” link in the column “Pack. Mat. Details”, you can enter the single pack
information for each ASN position.
Public 7/24
1.3.2.3 Additonal Data
On the additional data tab you can enter further information related to the ASN positions.
Public 8/24
1.3.2.4 Assign Pack. Material to HU
On this tab you create the handling units and assigne the previously created single packs to them.
On the right you see all single packs that are not yet assigned to one handling unit. Before you can
complete the ASN, all single packs need to be assigned to one handling unit.
On the top left you see each individual handling unit.
On the bottom left you see the single packs assigned to the selected handling unit.
1.3.2.5 Attachments
On this tab you can upload documents that will be attached to the ASN and transferred to your customer.
Public 9/24
Each uploaded attachment will be checked vor viruses. The ASN can only be sent once the virus scan is
complete. If a virus is detected in a document, this document will not be included in the message sent to
your customer.
1.3.2.6 Complete ASN
On this tab, you can enter further information about the shipment, as well as the pickup address and the
delivery date.
1.4 Navigation in WebEDI
1.4.1 WebEDI start page
The WebEDI start page is the first screen opened by the system when accessing the WebEDI/VMI
services.
1.4.1.1 Navigation menu
The ASN process can be accessed via the WebEDI start page. The ASN menu item will only be
displayed if your company admin has assigned the appropriate roles to you. The navigation menu is a link
to the process; you can use it to navigate directly to the ASN data.
Public 10/24
Under the section “Shipping Processes” you will find four sub-menus. They correspond to the different
ASN processes that are available at SupplyOn:
FPA (Transport Management): TOMS process
ASN (Transport Management) TOMS process
ASN (New) ASN process
ASN Legacy ASN process
Which process you use is determined by your customer on a network link level. This means you can
actually use all three processes in parallel with different customer plants.
Under “ASN (New)” you find three different navigation options
Create ASN Direct link to creation of a new ASN
ASN Overview (all) Links to an overview of all ASNs in the new ASN or TOMS process
ASN Overview (pending) Links to an overview of all pending ASNs in the new ASN or TOMS process
Public 11/24
1.4.2 ASN Overview
On the ASN Overview screen, you see all ASNs that have been created in the new ASN or TOMS
process.
You can configure the columns that are displayed in this screen by creating different table profiles and
you can create different seach profiles to easily find the ASNs that you are looking for.
1.4.3 ASN Positions
If your customer maintains goods receipts in SupplyOn you can see the goods receipt information for
each position in the ASN Positions screen.
Public 12/24
2 Creating an ASN
2.1 WebEDI
If you click on the link “Create ASN” in the ASN new or ASN Transport Management process, you directly
enter the ASN creation process. In the first step you see a list of all due deliveries grouped by customer
plant and unloading point.
2.1.1 Filtering due deliveries
The due deliveries screen has some useful filters to allow you to find the entries that are most useful for
your workflow.
When you enter the due deliveries grouped screen, the entries you see are per default filtered by the
following criteria:
Open demands based on ASN Creation Due Date: two days in the future (including past)
This means you will see all due deliveries where the ASN creation due date is in the past or at most two
days in the future. When the ASN creation is due regarding to the pick up and delivery time of the
shipment, is decided by the configuration of your customer.
You can change this search according to your preferences and create a search profile for your user.
Public 13/24
You can search lots of data fields, for example material number or description as in any other overview
screen, but for ASN creation, the following custom search fields are the most useful:
Filter Options
ASN Creation Due Date between (in number of days) between (selection of date) days back (incl. future) days in the future (incl. past) earlier than or equal to (selection of date) equal to (in number of days from today) equal to (selection of date) later than or equal to (selection of date)
Date included in Demand represents Delivery Date Pickup Date
Delivery Date between (in number of days) between (selection of date) days back (incl. future) days in the future (incl. past) earlier than or equal to (selection of date) equal to (in number of days from today) equal to (selection of date) later than or equal to (selection of date)
Due Del. ASN Status ASN not required ASN required

If your customer has enabled the SO-EDI process, you can create ASNs via EDI. For questions regarding
EDI integration, please contact [email protected].
2.4.1 Direct Integration
If you want to create you ASNs via EDI, you need an EDI Integration with SupplyOn. SupplyOn supports
the SupplyOn Specific Global DESADV (D07A).
2.4.2 ASN Copy via Customer
If you already have an EDI integration for your customer, your customer can also forward the messages
that you sent to him to SupplyOn. The ASNs you send to your customer will then be displayed in
SupplyOn WebEDI and can be used for follow up processes such as invoice ASN based invoice creation
or goods receipt booking.
2.4.3 Error Email case of EDI errors
If during the processing any problems occur, you will be notified via Email.
Public 16/24
2.4.4 Booking of incomplete messages
Depending on the settings of your customer it can be possible that incomplete messages (for example
mandatory fields are missing) are booked in the system and forwarded to your customer. If an incomplete
message is booked, you will be notified by Email.
Public 17/24
Depending on the settings of your customer the incomplete message will be forwarded to your customer
or not. If the message as not yet forwarded, you can click the link in the message and edit and send the
message in WebEDI.
