  Integration Issues: If the ASN is being integrated from an external system, there may be issues with data synchronization.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check ASN Status: Verify the status of the ASN in the system. If it has been deleted or marked as obsolete, you may need to create a new ASN.
  Recreate ASN: If the ASN is indeed obsolete, you may need to recreate it based on the original shipping details.
