When I worked for the medical products manufacturing company, we routinely sent out a full load truck with multiple orders. Each order had its own ASN. We were not penalized for this practice. Our customers were large medical products distributors. Some were very sophisticated in their requirements, but the issue you describe was never a problem.

In order to build the proper hierarchy for an ASN, all purchase orders that are going to ship on the same truck must be staged into some type of "load". However, I have reason to believe our shipping crew has incorrectly created ASNs for some customers in the past by not doing so, and subsequently creating multiple ASNs for orders that are on the same truck DESTINED FOR THE SAME LOCATION. (Not LTL-type shipments, which I know multiple ASNs could be valid for.) I'm not aware of ever receiving chargebacks for this, if we indeed did make this mistake. Anyone know what the story is there? Is that a common occurrence, a complete screw up, maybe acceptable to very few? Just curious. Thanks, Travis- ...
