ASN stands for “Advance Shipping Notice,” and is a notification of pending deliveries, usually sent electronically. It lists the contents of a shipment, and often provides additional information such as product descriptions and packaging types. An ASN can help the recipient (in this case, Simple Global) more efficiently receive and process the shipment.

  1. Under “ASN: Draft,” click the “Create ASN” button

  1. Scroll down until you see the row that shows Containers, Pallets, Cartons, and SKUs. This is where you will tell us about the inventory you’re sending to us. Note that the “Containers” and “Pallets” columns are currently not active; please ignore them for now.

    1. Start by clicking the “Add New” button in the “Cartons” column. A carton will be created. Enter the quantity of cartons in your shipment that contain identical SKUs. For example, if you are sending 5 cartons of SKU# SWG-1001 (black watch), enter quantity 5.

Then enter the quantity of that SKU contained in each carton. Note: if a carton contains multiple SKUs, you can add the additional SKUs by clicking the “Add New” button again with the current carton selected.

    3. If you are sending us other cartons containing different SKUs, repeat steps 5a and 5b for each unique set of cartons.
