  Verify ASN Submission Timing: Ensure that ASNs are submitted within the required time frame. If the ASN is late, communicate with the supplier or logistics team to understand the reason for the delay.
  Check Quantity Discrepancies: Review the ASN details and compare them with the expected quantities in the system. If there are discrepancies, correct the ASN or adjust the expected quantities in the system as necessary.
  Update System Configuration: If the issue is related to system settings, work with your SAP Basis or configuration team to review and adjust the relevant settings to ensure they align with your business processes.
  Communicate with Stakeholders: Engage with suppliers, logistics providers, and internal teams to ensure everyone is aware of the ASN requirements and timelines to prevent future occurrences.
