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.
