Re: ASN file layouts

[Patrick Sczypiorski]

Harry,     I'm not sure if your refering to a file layout for the actual ASN or a data file that will be mapped to the ASN document. Either way, there is a direct relationship between the various levels in the ASN. In the ASN document, each level is defined with a HL segment. Each HL has a direct relationship to the level directly above it (with the exception of the Shipment level HL which is at the top of the hierarchical structure). The top level HL segment will be formatted as follows:           HL*1**S**   This denotes the shipment level. At the subsequent levels the structure would be as follows:           HL*2*1*O**   with the first data element being incremented by 1 for each subsequent HL segment and the second element refering to the parent level. The third element refers to the type of data contained within the current HL loop. The third element would therefore contain:           S - Shipment         O - Order         T - Tare         P - Pack         I - Item   in this hierarchical order. Whereas a shipment may consist of several orders, it is important to remember what level follows which and to ensure that the parent level identifier, element HL02, is correctly referencing the proper parent HL Segment.   If you would like to speak off-line, please feel free to give me a call. I hope that this helps.   Patrick F.

This has the following levels :                           -    Shipment                         -    Order                         -    Tare                         -    Pack                         -    Item There are two type of labels one at Tare level (MAN segment) and another for the Box (MAN segment). I, am looking for the file layouts where I can store the information to link them with the maps.     Pl. let me know how the files are linked, I am really confused. For example if we have a Tare level label does the label # of Tare level has to be in the Pack level file to associate it with the Pack level file...etc.   Thanks in advance       Harry
