StarShip writes back freight and shipment detail to the Sales Invoice after you Ship/Process it. Write-Back depends upon how you configured Dynamics 365 BC Settings and Custom Write-Back Setup in Setup > Source Interfaces > Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Freight
Freight is written to a line on the Invoice in the Lines grid, to the line type and line code you specified in Dynamics 365 BC Settings.
Shipment Detail (Notes)
The information set up in Notes Settings will write back to the StarShip Notes field in the StarShip section of the Invoice.
StarShip Packages Table
StarShip writes one row for each package or one row for each freight shipment to the StarShip Packages table in the StarShip section of the Invoice. Each row contains the following information:
-
Tracking Number
