Can we treat ASNs as additional data and not receipts?

Summary:

ASN's in the "In Transit" section of the Purchase Order do not allow receipts to apply for integrations.  Incorporating the Shipment Number for In Transit Shipments (ASNs) into our integrations will cause us to always have to update integrations with this information to avoid issues.  I am trying to find out if there is a configuration setting within Oracle that would allow us to keep ASN information without it being seen as a receipt or allow receipts to still apply when ASNs exist for those lines/items without pulling in the Shipment Number. The alternative is to request all integrations are updated
