How do I create a CSV Advance Ship Notice?

First, you must download your buyer’s Advance Ship notice (ASN) CSV template. You can do this in 2 ways.

To download a blank template:

1. Click Documents at the top right of the home screen
2. Under Download, click CSV Templates

To download a template prefilled with your items:

1. Choose Inbox -> Orders and Releases
2. Click the Items to Ship tab
3. Check the box next to your items and click Create Ship Notice
4. Click Manage Serial Numbers -> Download template
5. Click Exit to exit Ship Notice Creation
6. Complete your downloaded template in a CSV editing software.

To upload your CSV ASN:

1. Click Documents
2. Under Upload, click Ship Notice CSV
3. Select your customer and file
4. Click Import CSV Ship Notice

If your buyer does not allow CSV invoices, these options will not be displayed. Check your buyer’s rules in the Customer Relationships Section.

If you receive the message !Error processing CSV, the file exceeds the maximum allowed lines, you will need to break your ASN into separate ASNs with fewer line items.
