Unfortunately, we have clients who are located minutes from the TPs DC. In most cases, the ASN has to be sent AND acked before they let the truck leave. Many chains will not allow the truck to unload if the ASN has not been received correctly. Bottom line: Send the ASN and get the ack before sending the goods. > I think the more important piece of an ASN is not that it tells you > the shipment is coming, although that is important, but it details > all of the items being shipped by product id (UPC code) and their > corresponding carton and/or pallet.

Some TPs do not use the INV/810 document. They pay based on the ASN. Earl Wertheimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.spe-edi.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
