What is the EDI 945 Warehouse Shipping Advice?
The EDI 945 Warehouse Shipping Advice is an outbound electronic document sent by a warehouse to confirm shipment of goods, detailing items, quantities, carrier information, and fulfillment status. It integrates warehouse execution with ERP and WMS systems, triggering inventory deductions and advancing the order-to-cash cycle. Accurate mapping enforces alignment with originating 940 shipping orders and downstream 856 advance ship notices, ensuring transactional integrity.
