Object documentationASN Status

 

Classification of the processing status of an advanced shipping notification (ASN) or an ASN item.

 

SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) sets the status of an ASN item or an ASN automatically, depending on the function you or SAP SNC performed beforehand in relation to the ASN. The statuses are of particular relevance to the progress of the delivery. At item level, the statuses show whether a goods receipt has been made for an ASN item or whether the customer regards an item as closed, even if the supplier has only delivered a partial quantity. SAP SNC determines the status of the ASN header from the status of the individual items.

Status of the ASN Header

Status

Triggering Function

Draft

The supplier has saved the ASN as a draft.

An ASN with this status is not yet binding. It is still in planning at the supplier. SAP SNC has not yet sent the ASN to the customer as an XML message. Customers can only see the ASN in the ASN overview. The supplier is able to change the draft ASN at any time.

Published

The supplier has published the ASN.

ASNs that the supplier has sent to the customer using an XML message and which SAP SNC has forwarded to the customer's ERP system, also receive this status. In the standard system, an ASN only gets the status Published if it has been validated successfully. You can change this setting (see the status Received).

In the standard delivery the supplier cannot change a published ASN on the SAP SNC Web UI. You must explicitly set the SNC Performs Validation; Published ASNs Can Be Changed validation scenario for all customer-supplier combinations for which you want your supplier to be able to change already published ASNs. For more information, see Changing ASNs.

In the service parts management business scenario, an ASN with the status Published can be changed on the Web UI if this has been set in Customizing for the ASN. For more information, see Processing ASNs in Service Parts Management.

Received

The supplier has sent the ASN from his or her back-end system to SAP SNC (see Sending ASNs from Supplier System to SAP SNC).

In the standard system, only invalid ASNs receive this status; ASNs that were validated successfully receive the status Published. You can change ASNs that have the status Received in SAP SNC and then publish them.

You can use the ASN_SET_STATUS_RC validation check to change the standard setting as follows:

  • ASN that was validated successfully and forwarded to the customer's ERP system: status Published

  • ASN that was validated successfully but not forwarded to the customer's ERP system: status Received

  • Invalid ASN that was forwarded to the customer's ERP system: status Received

  • Invalid ASN that was not forwarded to the customer's ERP system: status Received

Partial Goods Receipt

The customer has confirmed a partial goods receipt.

Therefore, the supplier has not yet delivered all items from the ASN in full. With this status, individual (but not all) items can also be delivered in full and thus have the status Complete Goods Receipt. The ASN can no longer be changed.

Closed

The customer has confirmed that all ASN items are closed for him or her, even if the supplier has not delivered anything or has only delivered partial quantities. The ASN can no longer be changed.

Complete Goods Receipt

The customer has confirmed a complete goods receipt.

Therefore, the supplier has delivered all items from the ASN in full. The ASN can no longer be changed.

Canceled

The supplier has canceled the ASN manually in SAP SNC.

SAP SNC no longer takes account of an ASN with this status during planning or in further process steps. However, the ASN is retained in SAP SNC. The ASN can no longer be changed.
