An advance shipping notice is an electronic message describing an outbound shipment. It can identify the items dispatched and include an expected arrival time. Sending the notice does not establish that the recipient has received the goods.[1]
Use the notice to prepare receiving space, staffing and checks. On arrival, reconcile actual quantities against both the purchase order and the notice. A missing carton remains a receiving discrepancy even if the supplier included it in the advance message.
