3PL inbound ASN management in D365

Posted on by Jonathan Lascaux 70

Hi,

For a customer, we integrate a new 3PL partner for logistics for a subsidiary. The scenario:

- Dynamics company A sells items to Dynamics company B

-- Goods are shipped from the A warehouse to the B 3PL external warehouse

-- in company A we generate a packing slip and an invoice when we ship

I must inform the B 3PL warehouse that we shipped goods (inbound ASN). I want this info to come from the company B data, since tomorrow I could have to do the same from external vendors.

We studied this option:

- Generate an item arrival journal automatically once company A ships. Then generate an interface to the 3PL with this item arrival journal which will be considered as an "inbound ASN" for them

In company B, we don't have in mind to activate the WMS activated since we don't need related features and inside dynamics the flow is quiet basic (Sales orders, pickings, packing slip from the 3PL, invoicing). 

Do you know the best architecture than this approach?

    Hi Jonathan,

    Company A would have to generate a ASN on shipment confirmation and send to 3PL partner. The format and and content of that file would have to be agreed with you 3PL partner.  It can contain Company's B information (Item ID, warehouse, delivery address,PO number etc) as long as Company A tracks this information in the system.  

    Having received the ASN on arrival of the shipment your 3PL would go through their own receiving process at the end of which they would need to send Company B another file.  If your Company B does not need to verify the receipt, the content of that file can go directly to a Product Receipt Journal (that will determine what information is absolutely required).  If Company B wants to confirm what was received and Post the Product Receipt journal themselves, then the content of that file should create an Item Arrival Journal that someone will be reviewing, posting and posting Product Receipt.
