ASN Creation in Oracle EBS R12

Advance Shipment Notification (ASN) is a document that is sent to Buyer in advance of Buyer receiving the product.It helps purchasing Organization to estimate expected arrival of goods which in turn helps to determine whether production schedule, customer delivery commitments etc. are on track or there may be change in various schedules.

Supplier can send ASN by different ways of EDI. Among them one is 'iSupplier Portal'. Below are the detail steps how ASN are created from EBS iSupplier Portal.

Step1: Log in to EBS iSupplier Portal using Supplier username and password.

 Click on 'Create Advance Shipment Notices' as shown in below snapshot.

Navigation :- iSupplier Portal > Shipments > Shipment Notices


All the Purchase Orders (PO) for the respective supplier will be listed. Select the PO for which you want to create ASN and click on 'Add to Shipment Notice' button as shown in below snapshot.



In 'Shipment Lines' tab give all the details for shipment as shown in below snapshot.



In 'Shipment Header' tab enter 'Shipment Number' , 'Shipment Date' and 'Expected Receipt Date' for the ASN. You can also add all other details of Freight in 'Freight Information' section. Once all the details are entered correctly click on 'Submit' button as shown in below snapshot.


A successful message is displayed after the creation of ASN.



Shipment details are validated and inserted in Receiving Open Interface Tables.
  • RCV_HEADERS_INTERFACE
  • RCV_TRANSACTIONS_INTERFACE
Till the data is validated by Receiving Open Interface Shipment status remains 'Pending' as shown in below snapshot.



Step2: Log in Purchasing Responsibility using Buyer Username and Password to generate ASN.

Log in to Buyer user and submit 'Receiving Transaction Processor' concurrent program to generate ASN. Give the operating unit name in the parameters tab which pops up while submitting the 'RCVTP' program.


 Receiving Open Interface validates ASN data , and once accepted it generates ASN.
