When creating an Advanced Shipping Notice (ASN) suppliers can, or may be required to, import the means of transport. Means of transport by vary by customer. The most common options are: (case sensitive)

Root cause
Suppliers using imports to update their PO Lines may need to include root cause detail when proposing changes or cancellations. Root cause can easily be added to the excel document to make bulk changes using just their corresponding codes.
- Review the buyer company’s root causes - A list of all the root causes available is provided on the imports page. You can review this list by Buyer Company using the drop-down menu under Root Cause Codes for company. See the image below for an example.
- Add the codes into your excel file under the new column called Root Cause - You only need to add this information for PO Lines that you are proposing a change or cancellation.
- Map the new Root Cause column using the blue button “Edit/Map Column Headers” in the top left corner. For additional details on field mapping read this article.
- Upload and process the file.
