Sage 100 Options

Options allow you to configure Related Documents, Source Documents, and other Sage-specific settings. Additional options available for the Sage 100 interface can be accessed by selecting Setup > Source Interfaces > Sage 100 (Version), and clicking on Options.

When checked, StarShip will search for related Sales Orders and Invoices based on the criteria chosen here. Depending upon the criteria selected, users can combine related documents by Purchase Order Number or by Ship-To Address. You can also limit the number of related documents to load when shipping by entering a number in the “Maximum number of related documents” field. The default setting is 8.

For “Related document criteria,” select the way StarShip should find related Sales Orders and Invoices. You can choose from Ship-To Address and Purchase Order Number. StarShip will not include documents in the search that have a blank Purchase Order Number.

Options

When importing a document that has an existing non-posted shipment, always
  • Prompt: Prompt the user for action. The prompt will include the options to Create New, View, or Edit. Note that View is only available for Processed shipments; Draft (Open) shipments will always open in Edit mode.
  • Create New: StarShip will automatically create a new shipment from the data being imported from the source interface without prompting the user.
  • Edit Existing: Set the existing document to “Open” status so that it can be edited.
  • View Existing: Open the existing shipment in View-only mode.
StarShip will search for any draft shipment or shipment processed within the last “#” days

When importing a document (Sales Order, Invoice, etc.), from Sage, StarShip will scan all open (draft) shipments, and only the processed shipments within the number of days you set here, for shipments that may already exist for that document. So, for example, if you add an order to a shipment you’ve already saved or processed in StarShip, you can reprocess the shipment with the new order added without voiding write-back or tracking numbers. Note that you cannot set the number of days if you set the option above it to Create New.

Run in Diagnostic Mode

Check this option to have StarShip run in a special diagnostic mode that shows the raw input from the source interface before any mapping or translations are performed on it. When enabled, a Show Diagnostics button appears on the source interface tab. Clicking the Show Diagnostics button will display the input information from the source interface in raw message format for Technical Support purposes.

Enable logging of Sage 100 transactions

StarShip will run in a special mode that provides more information to aid Technical Support. You can also specify Normal or Maximum levels of logging.

Disable Search of Source Documents

This option controls searching for Sage documents in the Shipment Editor. When it is checked, StarShip will not display the Search Documents grid and will require that you enter the exact Document Number.

Refresh List of Source Documents after shipping

When this option is checked, StarShip will update the list of Sage 100 documents in the Documents grid after you process a shipment. New documents are retrieved and shipments no longer matching the filters (such as Unshipped) will not be seen. The default setting is checked.

Additional Options

Retrieve order lines only from the entered warehouses

Check this option to retrieve only those items on the order that have the same warehouse(s). Type in each Warehouse code you want to include and hit Enter.

If this option is not checked, StarShip will retrieve order lines from any warehouse(s).

Note

When attempting to process a shipment for a warehouse that is not on this list, StarShip will not allow you to create a shipment and you will receive a message stating it has been fully shipped.

Override existing freight value when shipping against Sales Orders

When checked, StarShip will overwrite an existing freight value on the Sales Order. When this option is not checked, StarShip will append new freight to the existing freight value on the Sales Order.

Use ACS Multi-Bin option to allocate on the fly when StarShip creates the Invoice

This setting allows you to define whether you want to pre- or post-allocate inventory when entering Sales Orders. It allows StarShip to recognize items that have already been distributed/allocated so that distribution for lot/serial distributable items is not required during shipping. If this option is not checked, StarShip will not allow you to change item quantities for Multi-Bin items. When this option is checked, StarShip will allow you to change quantities for all Multi-Bin items except those that have already been allocated. With this setting checked, you should have Sage 100 configured to allocate the items automatically when the Invoice is created by StarShip.

Prevent retrieving Sales Orders to customers on Credit Hold

By default, StarShip will retrieve Sales Orders from customers who are on Credit Hold. To continue using the default setting, leave this option unchecked. However, if you do not want StarShip to retrieve Sales Orders from customers who are on Credit Hold, check this option to prevent that from occurring.

When shipping against Sales Orders, print after write-back is complete to obtain invoice numbers

If this option is checked and you ship against a Sales Order, StarShip forms will not be printed until after write-back from StarShip is completed. This ensures that the Invoice Number will be populated. Only enable this setting if Invoice Numbers are missing from StarShip forms.
