Fishbowl Online Custom Write-Back Setup for Sales Orders

StarShip supports write-back to custom and other fields in Fishbowl Online. StarShip can access any custom (user defined) fields associated with the Sales Order. Custom fields must be mapped to StarShip fields in order for write-back to occur.

Some of the Fishbowl fields are mapped by default; other fields can be mapped to write back to Fishbowl as desired.

Fishbowl Online Custom Fields

To set up custom fields in Fishbowl Online, go to Sales > Sales Orders and click the menu button. Select Custom Fields from the menu.

Click the menu button and select Custom Fields

Once you set up your custom fields, you will be able to map them in StarShip, either for custom write-back or to StarShip User Definable fields for import.
