Home Depot 856 Advanced Ship Notice (ASN) Recommendations
Home Depot is the largest home improvement retailer globally, boasting around 475,000 dedicated associates with over 2,300 stores across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Home Depot has separate EDI Implementation Guides and mapping specs for their import vendors. Let’s take a deep look at the 856 Advanced Ship Notice (ASN) implementation guidelines for Home Depot business partners.
856 Advanced Ship Notice Basics
ASN transactions are required for all regular merchandise orders. The ASN shipment details must match the physical shipment details.
Multiple Purchase Orders
Multiple Purchase Orders can be mapped per ASN for one location. All ASN scenarios used by the partner must be tested.
Rejected ASNs
Rejected or erred ASN’s must be corrected and re-sent within a timely manner with the same doc trace ID.
Timing
ASNs must be transmitted at the time of shipment. This is based on the need for the ASN to arrive at the store or warehouse before receipt of goods.
ASN Accuracy
The ASN must include the following accurate information:
- SCAC
- Pack Size
- PO Number
- UPC Number
- Shipped Quantity
- Vendor Part Number
- SKU
- Bill of Lading Number
- Unit of Measure
- Lading Quantity
- Unit Cost
- Store Number
