ASN via Basic Vendor Panel

ASN via Basic Vendor Panel

Software Plan: Growth & Enterprise
Account Type: Seller Account, Aggregator 3PL & Vendor Panel
Inventory Type: Non-Serialized
USN Type:  2, 4, 5

Feature Description

This feature enables vendors to send an advance shipping notice to sellers, providing better visibility and preparedness for incoming shipments. Serial number handling depends on the configured USN type and may occur at GRN stage or post-GRN as per system configuration
In the Basic Vendor Panel, the ASN must be created manually. Either the vendor can create the ASN from their panel, or the seller can initiate it from their account if needed. This ensures flexibility and allows the shipment process to move forward even if one party does not initiate the ASN.
Once the ASN is created, vendors can generate the required serial numbers or barcodes for the inventory items. If the vendor does not provide these serials, sellers also have the ability to generate the serial numbers or barcodes themselves directly from their seller account. This ensures that the inwarding process remains uninterrupted and that inventory accuracy is maintained.

USN Behaviour in ASN

ASN functionality supports multiple USN types.
  • USN 2: Serial numbers are provided manually at the time of GRN.
  • USN 4: Serial numbers are auto-generated by the system after GRN.
  • USN 5: Serial numbers are generated through the Generic Barcode screen and mapped during GRN.
Serial handling behaviour depends on the configured USN type.
