1.Create ASN
After good receipt orders has been created, in the Good Receipt PO page, select one or multiple orders, click 'Create ASN Plan', then enter information required by the warehouse in the new page, as shown below. This step will send the good receipt order(s) info to the warehouse. Once successfully sent, the good receipt order(s) can no longer be edited and its status will become 'Shipping plan created'.
2.Inventory Logics
After an ASN plan has been created, its corresponding information will be synced in the Inventory Transaction page and Multi-warehouse Inventory page. The system will keep on checking and synchronizing the order's status automatically. There will be no need for any operation.
When the system detected a good receipt order has arrived at the warehouse (some warehouse systems has different description for status), the order's status in the eTowerOne system will become 'Delivered Warehouse'.
After an order's status has became 'Delivered Warehouse' , the system will keep on checking the amount of the warehouse goods that has been put away, and continue to create product batch number and update available inventory and transactions. Under this circumstance, the order's status will be 'Partially Put Away' (this status is only available in some warehouses).
When the system detected a good receipt order has been completely put away (some warehouse systems has different description for status), this order is considered completed. The system will stop checking and the amount that is put away is now the final amount. For example, 100 product (SKU001) was applied when creating an order, only 90 of which has been detected as put away. Therefore, this order is considered to have a final put away amount of 90. The other 10 products originally created in the order will no longer been dealt.
3.Print Packing List
In the ASN Plan page, single select a single ASN order, click 'Shipping Mark' to receive shipping marks generated by the warehouse.
Note: the box number in the shipping marks here is generated based on whether the field 'Send W.H. with Shipper Box No' is checked when the good receipt order is created. If yes, the shipper's box number will be sent to the warehouse and the quantity must be 1. If not, a series of system-generated box number (increase from 1) will be sent to the warehouse, starting from 1, and will be stored in the 'warehouse box number' field.
Some warehouses do not support shipping mark printing. In these cases, the Shipping Mark button will either be hidden when these warehouses are selected, or a message will remind user that printing is not supported.
5.Note
5.1. Relavance between good receipt POs and ASN plans:
When multiple POs are selected to create a single ASN plan, data sent to the warehouse will still be divided to each POs rather than inone ASN plan. However, multiple POs in one ASN plan will have the same ASN info, such as ETA, transportation methods, etc,.
5.2. Deleting:
The deletion of good receipt POs could be under different levels of restrictions required by different warehouses. Some warehouses do not allow a successfully created order to be deleted, then only good receipt POs under the condition 'Shipping Plan Created' can be deleted in system. Some warehouses allow the deletion of any orders not yet received, then good receipt POs under the condition 'Created', 'Shipping Plan Created' and 'Shipped' can be deleted in the system. (changes may apply, based on information sent back by the warehouses)
