  Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) is a feature of SAP SRM-Purchase Requests and Orders that allows suppliers to electronically notify buyers of the shipment of goods. This notification includes information such as the quantity, type, and delivery date of the goods being shipped. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use ASN, buyers must first set up an ASN profile in their SAP SRM-Purchase Requests and Orders system. This profile will include information such as the supplier’s contact information, the type of goods being shipped, and the delivery date. Once this profile is set up, buyers can then send an ASN to their suppliers. The supplier will then enter the details of the shipment into their system and send an ASN back to the buyer. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up an ASN profile, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary information is included. This includes the supplier’s contact information, the type of goods being shipped, and the delivery date. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of this information is accurate in order to avoid any delays or misunderstandings.
