You may see ready to ship instead of Create ASN when submitting shipment details in SourceDay.
This means your buyer has configured shipments so that you prepare items, and they complete the final shipping details.
Why you see ready to ship
Your buyer has enabled this workflow when:
- You are responsible for preparing or packaging items
- The buyer is responsible for arranging shipping and carrier details
Because of this, you will not enter full shipment details.
What you need to do
When using ready to ship:
- Select the PO line(s)
- Click ready to ship
- Enter required packaging details, such as:
- Box quantity
- Quantity per box
- Enter optional details you may have
- Submit
This notifies your buyer that the items are ready.
What happens next
After you submit:
- The status updates to ready to ship
- The buyer completes shipment details, such as carrier and tracking
- The shipment is finalized by the buyer
You are not responsible for completing shipment details in this workflow.
How this differs from shipped
- Shipped: you enter full shipment details
- Ready to ship: you provide packaging details and the buyer completes the shipment
