Benefits of technology

[0008]In one aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a method for automatically processing Advanced Ship Notices. The method receives a first set of data associated with an ASN. The method further compares one or more data fields included in the first set of data with a second set of data associated with a Purchase Order (PO). In addition, the method determines a status associated with a shipment of items based on the comparison.
[0009]In another aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a computer-readable medium, including instructions for performing a method, when executed by a processor, for automatically processing Advanced Ship Notices. The method receives a first set of data associated with an ASN. The method further compares one or more data fields included in the first set of data with a second set of

Problems solved by technology

Although the system and method of the '411 patent may enable the determination of a three-way match, the system and method do not offer a way to evaluate advanced shipping notices against purchase orders before it

Abstract

A method is disclosed for automatically processing Advanced Ship Notices (ASNs). In one embodiment, the method receives a first set of data associated with an ASN. The method further compares one or more data fields included in the first set of data with a second set of data associated with a Purchase Order (PO). In addition, the method determines a status associated with a shipment of items based on the comparison.
