ASNs are used with purchase orders which have FOB (Freight on Board) set to Origin. The notification is important because when FOB is set to Origin, ownership transfers when the goods leave the shipping facility.
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Draft | When you create an ASN, the status is set to Draft. If you don't have all the details, you can keep the ASN as a draft. When the supplier and line detail is complete, confirm the ASN. |
| Confirmed | The ASN is complete and correct. |
| Unconfirmed | If you make a change to a confirmed ASN, the status reverts to Unconfirmed. You cannot receive against a draft or unconfirmed ASN. |
If you are the recipient of an ASN, you can record it in Kenandy. The document is created as a draft, so you can create a placeholder while waiting for the supplier details. When you have all the details, confirm the ASN. When it is confirmed, you can record the receipt of goods and services, or in the case of a drop ship purchase order, you can record a logical receipt, since the shipment goes directly to the customer.
| Flow | Summary Steps |
|---|---|
| Drop Ship Order |
Kenandy creates a receiving document and inventory change transaction for the logical purchase order receipt and a ship line and inventory change for the logical sales order shipment. Kenandy passes the carrier, tracking number, and date shipped from the ASN to the shipment records it creates. |
| Manual Purchase Order |
Kenandy creates a receiving document and inventory change transaction for the purchase order receipt. |
You can create an ASN directly from the purchase order detail page or from the ASN list view.
Or, from the purchase order detail page, click Create ASN.
| Company | The company information is based on your login credentials. |
| Currency | The currency is based on the default transaction currency for the company. |
| Facility | The deliver-to facility. |
| FOB Term | ASNs are used to track purchase orders of type FOB Origin. |
| Supplier | The supplier can be changed while the ASN is in Draft mode. This can be helpful if you need to record receipt of the ASN, but want the flexibility to change the supplier later. |
You cannot change the supplier after you select a purchase order.
The quantity displayed is inherited from the purchase order, which you can change. For lot tracked items, you can enter a separate line for each lot. If the units are being tracked with a serial number, you can enter the serial numbers for each unit.
An in-transit inventory transaction is created.
Prior to confirming the ASN, you can continue to manage the lines:
| Delete |
You can only delete a line if the status is new. |
| Cancel | You can cancel an open line as long as there is no receipt against it. |
| Close |
You can close an open line with a partial receipt. |
| Populate Line Quantities | Kenandy populates the quantity with the Quantity Shipped on the selected purchase order. |
You can click the Undo Confirm button to reverse the confirmation. This can be helpful if you want to change the quantity. When you unconfirm an ASN, the status changes to Draft and you can edit the details, and then confirm the ASN. If the ASN is for a drop ship order, the shipment status reverts to Unconfirmed.
| ASN Type | Status changes to |
|---|---|
| Regular |
Receiving Document status: VOID Receipt Line status: VOID ASN status: DRAFT |
| Drop Ship |
Receiving Document status: VOID Receipt Line status: VOID Shipment status: Unconfirmed |
If you are the recipient of the goods and services as specified on an ASN, go to the Receiving Workbench to record the receipt. Kenandy displays a message to notify you that a receiving document has been created. For partial receipts, the ASN line remains open until it has been received in full.
For drop ship orders, in which you are the seller and your customer is the recipient of the goods and services, you can record a logical receipt, and then invoice the customer.

You can cancel an ASN from the ASN detail page (Cancel ASN), if the lines have all been confirmed.
| ASN status | To cancel |
|---|---|
| Draft | Select all lines, and then click Cancel ASN. |
| Confirmed | Click Cancel ASN |
When you cancel the ASN, the in transit documents are automatically cancelled. If there are receipts against the ASN, you must void the receipts, and then cancel them.
To cancel a line on an ASN, select the line, and then click Cancel. You cannot cancel an unconfirmed line. However, if a line has not been confirmed, you can delete it. When you cancel an ASN line, Kenandy creates a receiving document (subtransaction type = return) to account for the returned inventory. Similarly, if you partially close an ASN line, Kenandy creates a receiving document (subtransaction type = return) for the remaining quantity.
