  Save ASN as Draft

Use

If you create and save an advanced shipping notification (ASN) in SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) but do not yet want to send it to the customer, you save the ASN as a draft. You can continue processing or cancel the ASN at any time (possibly at a later time).

Features

The consequences of saving the ASN as a draft are as follows:

  • If you have only entered either a delivery date or only a shipping date, SAP SNC performs scheduling automatically.

  • SAP SNC performs an internal validation .

  • The ASN acquires the Draft status.

  • In the standard system, the subobjects of the ASN (ASN header and ASN items) acquire the following validation statuses:

    • If the data of a subobject is complete and correct, it acquires the Valid validation status.

    • If a subobject contains invalid data, it acquires the Invalid validation status.

      Note Note

      In Customizing for Validation , system administration can specify which validation status a subobject acquires on publishing, depending on the validation result.

      End of the note.

  • The customer can see the draft ASN in the ASN overview as a draft. However, SAP SNC does not send the ASN to the customer system.

  • SAP SNC includes the ASN in the due list for planned receipts. However, SAP SNC does not change any quantities; in other words, SAP SNC does not reduce the quantity of planned receipts and does not increase the in-transit quantity.
