Link via ASN
Advanced Shipment Notification (ASN) is an EDI transaction option. ASN allows library staff to quickly receive a shipment of materials by scanning a barcode on the shipment box.
Shipments can be received and linked via ASN in the Wise client at Items > Link via ASN.
Note: If you are setting up ASN receiving with Wise for the first time or if you would like to use ASN with a new vendor, contact OCLC Support for assistance with configuration.
