On-time notification of your delivery
With the Despatch Advice (ASN) you announce electronically the delivery of the requested goods to your customer.
When creating a Despatch Advice (ASN) in AirSupply, the form will be already partially prefilled with information taken from the selected Purchase Order lines to reduce the manual effort. Further transport-specific data must then be added by the supplier.
You have the possibility to combine several Purchase Order lines into one Despatch Advice (ASN).
A Despatch Advice (ASN) in AirSupply consists of a header, handling units named Expedition Unit (UX) and physical packages named Elementary Unit (UE). One Expedition Unit can contain several Elementary Units. Example: the Expedition Unit is the pallet and the Elementary Units are the packages on the pallet.
As a supplier you are required to print labels based on the entered data in the ASN, which you can use for the physical shipment. Separate labels are created for each defined handling unit (UX) and each contained physical package (UE).
After the creation of the Despatch Advice (ASN), the included Purchase Order lines receive the status "Shipped" or "Partially Shipped" in the AirSupply orders module.
In order to ease goods receipt and avoid issues at reception, Safran Aircraft Engines is controlling despatch advices in real time after former AirSupply® standard validation.
Please find clear instructions in the supplier video´s and guide for Despatch Advice (ASN) on the side.
