Table of contents

A Warehouse Shipping Advice is a message sent by a warehouse to notify a trading partner that goods have been shipped and to provide details about the shipment. A Warehouse Shipping Advice communicates information about a shipment leaving a warehouse, including the items shipped, quantities, shipment identifiers, and destination details.

Supplier's remote warehouses or third-party warehouse Partners use warehouse shipping advices to communicate to the supplier that they have shipped the purchased products to the buyer’s location.

Contact your TraceLink Services representative for more information about integrating with this message.
