Home Depot: Missing ASN
What this deduction means
Home Depot assesses this when no Advance Ship Notice (EDI 856) is received for a shipment. The ASN must be transmitted after the shipment leaves the supplier facility and before it arrives at the distribution center.
Typical penalty: $1,000 offset per missing ASN
Common causes
- ASN never generated or transmitted for the shipment
- EDI mapping failure between the WMS and Home Depot
- Shipment sent without an 856
How to prevent Home Depot's Missing ASN
- Auto-generate the 856 from the WMS for every shipment
- Transmit the ASN before the shipment reaches the DC
- Monitor for missing-ASN alerts before the truck departs
- Confirm a 997 functional acknowledgment is received
