XML Messages in Standard ASN Processing

Processing of advanced shipping notifications (ASNs) uses the following XML messages in the standard system:

  • DespatchedDeliveryNotification

    If the supplier publishes an ASN in SAP SNC, SAP SNC generates an XML message of the DespatchedDeliveryNotification type and sends this to SAP NetWeaver. SAP NetWeaver system maps the XML message to the message format of the customer and sends it to the customer back-end system.

  • ReceivedDeliveryNotification

    When the customer has received the delivery, he or she sends the goods receipt information with a message from his or her back-end system to SAP NetWeaver. SAP NetWeaver maps the message to an XML message of the type ReceivedDeliveryNotification and sends it to SAP SNC. SAP SNC updates the ASNs on the basis of the information from the ReceivedDeliveryNotification message.

If the customer uses an SAP system as the back-end system, the back-end system sends and receives messages in IDoc format. An ASN is mapped to an inbound delivery in the SAP back-end system. In the standard system we deliver XSLT mappings for the following ASN IDocs:

  • SAP ERP 6.0 and higher: DELVRY05

    The IDoc is not relevant for the service parts management business scenario.

  • for lower releases: DELVRY03
