Matching Procedure ASN-GRA
The matching is done between Advance Shipping Notice and Gods Receipt Advice. It requires that ‘Expect Despatch Advice’, ‘Expect Receipt Advice’ and ‘Match Despatch Advice/Receipt Advice’ has been selected in the process configuration tab at the partner agreement. See Outbound Partner Agreement detail. It also requires that the ASN has Delivery Note Id and Delivery Row No and the GRA Id and GRA line id.
The matching procedure links the GRA lines to the ASN line defined in the message. If the last read GRA line defines that reception is finished, the system tries to make an automatic match. The following values has to be equal if the match shall be a success; product id, quantity, purchase order, sales order, pallet number and pallet quantity. Match on pallet level will only be performed if all involved lines have pallet information. The match type is set to ‘Automatic match’ in case of success. If the automatic match is not a success, the reason will be written in the comment as a guide to the manual match and the match type is set to ‘No match’. Additional checks for price and currency can be selected in the Partner Agreement configuration.
