ASN and EDI Shipping Integration for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Dynamic Ship works with the EDI network you already use, capturing the package-level detail your Advance Ship Notice (ASN) requires directly from your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central shipping workflow. Shipping clerks and EDI coordinators use it to keep trading-partner compliance requirements met without adopting a new, bundled EDI platform. It solves the core ASN problem: getting accurate package, lot, serial, and tracking data from the warehouse into your existing EDI transaction.
At a Glance
- Works with the EDI network you already use, including SPS Commerce, TrueCommerce, Vantree, and others.
- Captures package-level contents, lot and serial details, and tracking numbers your ASN needs.
- Supports SSCC and GS1-128 label workflows for retail and EDI compliance.

Key Capabilities
EDI-agnostic architecture. Dynamic Ship does not lock you into one bundled EDI stack. It pairs with SPS Commerce, TrueCommerce, Vantree, or another EDI integrator, so trading-partner connections your team has already built stay in place.
Package-level lot and serial capture. Scanning items into a specific package during packing records which serial and lot numbers are in which box, giving your ASN accurate package-level content instead of an order-level approximation.
SSCC and GS1-128 label support. Serial Shipping Container Codes used in the ASN transaction can be generated from Dynamic Ship license plate data, either by working alongside your EDI vendor or by using a Business Central partner-built report.
Tracking number capture. Carrier tracking numbers generated at label time flow with the shipment record, so the number reaching your EDI transaction matches what the carrier actually assigned.
Configurable per customer. Because packaging and tracking behavior live in Business Central, you can tune what gets captured and transmitted on a customer-by-customer basis, matching each trading partner’s ASN requirements.
How ASN and EDI Integration Works in Dynamic Ship
- Your team packs the order in the Package Worksheet, scanning items into license plates and capturing serial, lot, and weight details as they go.
- The sales shipment posts in Business Central, converting the license plates into shipped status.
- Your EDI vendor, whether TrueCommerce, SPS Commerce, Vantree, or another provider, takes that data and generates the ASN using its own transmission and UCC labeling methods.
Why Dynamic Ship’s EDI Approach Stands Out
Many shipping tools for Business Central bundle you into one EDI provider as part of the shipping license. Dynamic Ship takes the opposite approach: it stays EDI-agnostic and pairs with the network your trading partners already require, whether that is SPS Commerce, TrueCommerce, Vantree, or another integrator entirely. You keep the trading-partner connections you have already built and tested, instead of migrating them to match your shipping app.
Who Uses ASN and EDI Integration
EDI coordinators rely on it to keep ASN transactions accurate without having to maintain a second shipping data entry process. Shipping clerks pack and scan as usual in the Package Worksheet, with no additional EDI-specific steps required at the bench. Customer service and account teams benefit indirectly, as accurate package-level data reduces retail compliance chargebacks stemming from inaccurate ASNs.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Dynamic Ship is EDI-agnostic and pairs with the EDI network you already use, such as SPS Commerce, TrueCommerce, Vantree, and others. It provides the package-level shipment data your EDI vendor needs to build an ASN, without replacing your existing EDI provider or requiring you to switch networks.
Serial Shipping Container Codes used in ASN transactions can be generated from Dynamic Ship license plate data, by working with your EDI vendor, or by using a Business Central partner-built report. This requires your own GS1 company prefix, since Dynamic Ship does not assign one for you.
