Acumatica Custom Fields Write-Back

StarShip allows you to write shipment information back to custom (user-defined) fields in Acumatica for the Shipments document. Three (3) fields are available for each of the following types of data:

  • String
    A sequence of characters, used to represent text. It can also contain spaces and numbers; however, it is always treated as text.

  • Boolean
    Represents the values True and False; for example, a check box that is selected or deselected.

  • Integer
    This is the most common numeric data type used to store whole numbers (not a fraction) that are positive, negative, or zero.

  • Date
    Stores a date in the M/DD/YYYY format.

To use this feature, you must have the following:

  • Acumatica versions 2020 R2, 2021 R1 or R2, 2022 R1.
