 Shipping Notification – Outgoing Locate this document in the navigation structure

Definition

Notification from the vendor about the anticipated arrival of goods shipped to the recipient. The shipping notification contains the anticipated delivery date, quantities, and details of the materials (or services). The materials are either identified by the material number or the Gobal Trade Item Number (GTIN).

A shipping notification can be sent by means of an EDI message, fax, or by using other media. An outgoing shipping notification can be generated on the basis of an outbound delivery.

Use

EAN.UCC/GS1 Compliance adds the following new features to the existing mySAP ERP processes:

  • In the IDocs, a material number is determined from a GTIN, and from additional information, using determination logic.

  • A simulation program enables a material number to be determined from a GTIN, and from additional information. This material number can be manually used in standard transactions.

This enables the material-related processes to be carried out in the same way as before.
