An Advanced Shipping Notice (ASN) is a document that shows the details of pending delivery. Once you close an ASN, it will automatically generate an Item Receipt from the Purchase Order(s).
You have the option to generate a single ASN by inputting one or more PO lines or to upload multiple ASNs simultaneously into the system.
The “Batch Upload ASN Create” module helps you manually upload the ASNs in the system by following the steps below:
Download the latest CSV template from the “Upload ASN’s” module.
Copy ASN’s information into the CSV template.
Upload the CSV template to Xoro.
Go to the "Upload ASN Create" module using the search menu.
Click on the “Download Template“.
Once you’ve downloaded the template file, you can copy your data using any spreadsheet software. There are columns that you must complete and others that are optional. Mandatory fields are marked with a double asterisk (**) prefix.
The file must be a CSV (Comma-separated values) file. The name of your file must end with CSV.
Make sure you don’t change any column headings from row 1 in the template as these are needed for the file to import correctly.
All date fields will accept the MM-DD-YYYY format.
Be mindful of any leading zeros in your data, some spreadsheet software will trim them automatically without notifying you. This can be resolved by ensuring your columns have correct formatting.
Sometimes long numbers (UPC, etc.) are formatted as scientific notation. Be sure to change the formatting on this data to display these long numbers correctly.
