1) Third Party Shipping Notification

Your customer orders products that are not produced by your company and are not kept in stock. The vendor sends the material directly to your customer.

In the next step of the value chain, you receive a shipping notification from your vendor stating that the products have been shipped to your customer. You then bill your customer based on the quantity shipped as noted on the shipping notification.

2) Advanced Shipping Notification

To execute and fulfill the previously created planned shipment schedule, the supplier's user can create ASN/Deliveries thru the web UI, and transmit the ASN message to the customer's backend system as an indication that a physical shipment is on it's way. The SMI process keeps track of what is planned vs. shipped by indicating this on the planning screen as "in-transits". The customer's users have access to the ASN process, but only for visiblity (not for creating or deleting).

3) Shipping Notification In Purchasing

In Purchasing, you can maintain confirmations for purchase orders or scheduling agreements. The confirmations include, among other things, order acknowledgments, loading and transport confirmation and the actual shipping notification. These confirmations can serve purely for information purposes or the dates and quantities can be taken into account in material requirements planning.

All of these confirmations are collectively referred to as shipping notification in material requirements planning. The term shipping notification will therefore always be used in the following information.

Working with shipping notifications provides the planning department with a more exact planning procedure as more reliable information about the delivery to be received is available from the vendor between the order date and the desired delivery date.

4) Sending a Shipping Notification via EDI

In the EDI scenario, you create a message with the delivery which is sent to the customer via EDI as a shipping notification. On your side, the delivery can be initiated automatically by a forecast delivery schedule from the customer.

In the scenario, a scheduling agreement is delivered. However, shipping notifications can be sent for each purchase order.

Prerequisites

• The scheduling agreement contains items confirmed by inventory management (i.e. items which can be delivered).

• The scheduling agreement number of the customer is entered as the purchase order number in the scheduling agreement.

• The material number of the customer is entered in the scheduling agreement.

Hello,

Notification by the vendor of the anticipated arrival of goods shipped by the latter on the recipient's premises.

The shipping notification contains the anticipated delivery date, the quantities, and details of the materials (and/or services). A shipping notification can be sent in the form of an EDI message, by fax or other media. An incoming shipping notification is stored in the R/3 System as an inbound delivery document. An outgoing shipping notification can be generated on the basis of an outbound delivery.

Hi,

Shipping notification is the document that the vendor sends to the company when he created a delivery for the goods ordered.

This is then entered in SAP as an inbound delivery. This helps the company in that it gets advance information about receipt of the goods and can plan for the receipt and also for the availability check for more accurate results.

Your second question is not clear.
