Final answer:
The Advance Shipment Notification (ASN) generally triggers the creation of an Inbound Delivery, which is used to manage and plan for the arrival of goods in a facility's warehouse management or ERP system.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Advance Shipment Notification (ASN) is a document that provides detailed information about a pending delivery of goods. It is commonly used in supply chain management and logistics to pre-notify the recipient of the shipment details, allowing for better planning and processing on the receiving end.
Upon receipt of an ASN, the triggered action is typically the creation of Inbound Delivery in the recipient's warehouse management or enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The inbound delivery record serves to track and manage the receipt of goods into the facility. It enables the warehouse to be prepared for the incoming goods in terms of space allocation and manpower planning, facilitating smoother and more efficient unloading, inspection, and warehousing of the products.
B) Inbound Delivery is the correct answer to this question. ASNs do not trigger the creation of a Purchase Order, Goods Receipt, or Outbound Shipment directly. While a goods receipt will likely be created upon the actual arrival of goods, it is a consequence of processing the inbound delivery, not a direct result of the ASN.
