In order to identify "their corresponding carton and/or pallet", a bar code label (UCC-128, B10, PDF417) with a serialized license plate must also be generated in conjunction with the ASN.

We are thinking about doing ASNs with our tp's to better manage our expected deliveries. I'm contacting various TPs for general information on these ASNs. >From what I can tell, once the vendor ships materials from their plant is when they generate an ASN. The carrier would then ultimately dictate when the materials would arrive in the distribution center. Is the typical lead-time for an ASN usually at least a day in advance or would it be based on where the vendor's plant is located to gauge how much time it might take to be delivered? 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. Aditionally, it would be able to tell us what really is coming which might be different than what we think is coming (shorts, etc.) Anyone care to add anything about ASN for me? Thank.
