Dear Purchsing Gurus,
I have an item supplied by a supplier. Before receiving it in my organisation, it will come across various locations (for eg. If it shipped via. a ship and ship is coming thru various contries like India, China, Japan).
I would like to track these locations. i.e. at any point of time I should know where the item is.
How to track this?
Thanks & Regards
Merlin Rajesh

The supplier can send ASN along with the LPN for the individual item.
LPN help tracking, receiving and locating the items. During ASN/ASBN creation, suppliers can provide the LPN numbers of the containers used to pack the items. LPNs can be nested to model a box on a pallet or other similar configurations.
This just a theorotical info!!!.

Vinod

If the supplier can provide the LPN (License plate number)number at all the "stops " during the delivery like china,japan etc , then these can be tracked.
Module like isupplier portal can help you.
Supplier can login and furnish the details for the current stop of the consignments as an attachement to the ASN or make changes to the existing one.
or by using ASN/ASBN Excel.Using this template, the supplier can create the ship notice offline using common spreadsheet software, as well as upload the file, review any errors, make corrections, and resubmit.
Another alternative,
Customize the isupplier portal for your desired requirement and hope for supplier to give you right information at the right time..

Vinod
