An Advanced Shipping Notice (ASN) is an electronic document sent by a supplier to a buyer, providing detailed information about a pending delivery, including shipment contents, packaging, and expected arrival time.
A warehouse receiving an ASN for an incoming truckload can pre-allocate dock doors, labor, and space based on the shipment details, significantly speeding up unloading and reducing receiving errors.

An ASN typically includes shipment contents, quantities, packaging information, carrier details, purchase order references, and estimated delivery times.
ASNs allow warehouses to prepare for incoming shipments, allocate labor and space more efficiently, and automate inventory updates, reducing manual work and errors.
No, while both describe shipment contents, an ASN is sent electronically ahead of time, whereas a packing list typically accompanies the physical shipment.
