In the proper > supply chain model there is only one ASN. The 940 document can be sent to the 3PL to request a shipment, and the 945 document is returned to confirm the Shipment. The 945 would have to have the Carton information, since the 856 ASN would be built from it. Some 3PL send the 856s as an added service. Earl Wertheimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.spe-edi.com .
