Depending upon your write-back setup, StarShip will update fields on the Sales Order after you ship a Sales Order.
Freight Amount
StarShip will write the freight amount to the Totals tab > Freight Amount on the Sales Order.
Note: If StarShip is creating the Invoice, the freight amount is written back to the Invoice. In the case of a multiple-order shipment, StarShip divides the freight amount equally among the invoices. If StarShip is updating an existing invoice, it will increment the existing freight amount by the amount of the shipment.
Notes Write-Back
StarShip writes the Notes back to the Sales Order as a line item comment. You can configure this write-back in Notes Settings.
Custom Write-Back
StarShip will write back to Sage 100 User-Defined and other fields that you set up under Sales Order in Custom Write-Back Setup.
Header Fields
- User-Defined Fields: StarShip will write back to Sage 100 User-Defined fields on the Sales Order Header for any fields you mapped in Custom Write-Back Setup.
- Ship Via: The Carrier/Service are written back to the Ship Via field on the Header tab.
Line Item Fields
- User-Defined Fields: StarShip will write back to Sage 100 User-Defined on the Sales Order Line for any fields you mapped in Custom Write-Back Setup.
Notes
Comments and Miscellaneous Charges
Comments and Miscellaneous Charges from the Sales Order are written to the invoice even though they do not appear in the StarShip shipment.
Drop-shipping
Drop-shipped items do not appear in the StarShip shipment, but are automatically back-ordered.
Ship To Address
If the Ship To address on the shipment differs from the Ship To address on a Sales Order, the Ship To address saved in StarShip is the one that will be written to the Invoice. The original sales order Ship To address remains unchanged.
Auto-printing of Shipping Documents
StarShip does not support the ”Automatically Print Shipping Documents” setting in Sage 100 Shipping Setup Options.
Open Invoices
StarShip allows you to create a shipment against a Sales Order that already has an open invoice against it only if the first invoice was created by StarShip or Shipping Data Entry. A second invoice cannot be created if the first invoice was entered within Invoice Data Entry. You would then receive the error message: “Currently being invoiced” when selecting the Sales Order.
