ProcessShipNotice — Ship notice (ASN)

OAGIS BOD combining the verb Process and the noun ShipNotice. Business cornerstone of the logistics domain in the OAGIS 10.x ecosystem.

BOD purpose

The ProcessShipNotice BOD is the OAGIS canonical despatch advice, direct equivalent of EDIFACT DESADV and X12 856 (ASN). Distributed from seller to buyer, it announces that a shipment is on its way with its detailed content.

Structure (ApplicationArea + DataArea)

As every OAGIS BOD, ProcessShipNotice stacks an ApplicationArea technical envelope (Sender, BODID, CreationDateTime) and a DataArea business payload containing the verb Process and the noun ShipNotice.

XML example

Minimal OAGIS 10.x payload for didactic purposes. The structural elements (header + business line) are required in any conformant implementation.
