How to Validate and Create an ASN (Advanced Shipping Note) in Mintsoft Using Orderlink
First, you'll need to determine whether you need to create an ASN (Advanced Shipping Note) or a standard note. You only need to create an ASN if you're integrated with third-party systems like Mintsoft, Shiphero, or Mainfreight to manage your inventory.
If you're not using any third-party systems and are receiving your purchase orders directly in Orderlink, you can skip the ASN process and check out one of these related articles instead:

Alright, you've made it this far, which means you really want to create an ASN (Advanced Shipping Note). Let's do it then.
First, navigate to the "International Shipment" option in the sidebar and click on the shipment number for which you need to create the ASN.
Before creating the ASN, make sure that all the items in your shipment are set up in your third-party system, such as Mintsoft, Shiphero, or Mainfreight. Orderlink automatically does one validation when the shipment is created, but if you want to rerun the validation, simply click on the three dots and select Validate ASN. If there are any issues, they will be highlighted in the shipment item lines.
If you encounter any problems, refer to this article to clear the errors in the item codes and rerun the validation.
Once everything is validated and you're happy with it, go ahead and click on the three dots again, and select Create ASN. That's it! You'll see a success notification, and you can now check out your ASN in the ASN tab in the sidebar.
