Shipping

Once the product is manufactured, sequenced, and properly labeled, it needs to be shipped to the manufacturer. The paperwork needs to be generated, and sent with the truck. Additionally, the manufacturer often requires sending an Advanced Shipment Notification (ASN) via EDI. In most cases, there needs to be at least the Bill of Lading paperwork when a truck leaves for the manufacturer. Again, just like everything else, these requirements vary by manufacturer.
