In our role in assisting
suppliers that must ship prototype part orders
to Ford Motor
Company's Vehicle
Operations NMPDC, we are making available specifications necessary to
generate the ANSI 856 that
must accompany these prototype build orders.
Prototype build orders must
include:
- Labels attached to each
part*
- Carton labels for each
container shipped
- Packing slips with part
number and order number
- An ASN for all
parts/orders in the shipment
The significant differences
between a production and prototype build ASN are:
- Including the PO number
AND line code
- Serializing each carton
label
- Including the serial
number on the ASN
Suppliers can meet these
requirements by either utilizing their own EDI system or by using
ProjectSynergy’s Shipment Manager software to meet Ford’s prototype shipment
requirements. If you require further assistance, please email your request
to
techsupport@projectsynergy.com
(* Please note that STANDARD
fasteners do not require an individual prototype part label.
Please check with your
Ford contact if you are not certain.)
