Navistar: ASN BOL PackList Compliance

2011-03-30T21:16:00.002-04:00

"Dear Valued Supplier,

Please note that a valid 856 is required for every shipment to all Navistar Truck manufacturing locations. This includes plant codes 002, 009, 011, 014, 015, 020, 062, and 065. 856s are to be sent before or at the same time that the trailer leaves the supplier's dock and are to adhere to the ASN Business Process Guide and Implementation Guide available at navistarsupplier.com.

It is Navistar's policy that all shipments have a correct ASN that includes all returnable container part numbers in addition to the production part data sent prior to receipt at the plant along with the correct Packing List and Bill of Lading document. When these documents are not available it creates costly inefficiency and inaccuracy in Navistar's receiving process. Failure to comply with Navistar?s ASN and D13 Packaging requirements could result in a penalty of 500 US dollars per occurrence as detailed in the Requirements to do Business Truck Group document also available at navistarsupplier.com.

Please ensure that you are in compliance for all shipments and that If there are any extraordinary circumstances that cause you to not comply that you contact your planner at the plant immediately to establish a recovery plan. Additionally, noncompliance with Navistar?s EDI and shipping policy?s will have a negative effect on your supplier score card rating and could lead to penalties and fines.

If you are having technical issues with your EDI systems, please review the afore mentioned implementation guides and business process guides.

If you find that you still have issues, please contact me directly at 630.753.6829.
