Process Sage 100 Multi-Bin Shipments

Pre-allocation

With this method, you allocate the Multi-Bin items on the Sales Order before importing the Sales Order to StarShip.

1. Create a Sales Order with inventory from a Multi-Bin enabled warehouse.
2. Enter the quantity ordered, and then click the Distribution Allocation button.
3. On the Multi-Bin Distribution window, click the lookup button to select Bin location.
4. Select a lot/bin that has a quantity available; the Sales Order will show the allocated quantity.
5. Save the Sales Order.
6. In StarShip, import the Sales Order. The distribution window may be viewed for distributed line items but quantities cannot be modified.

Automatic Allocation

With this method, Sales Order items are automatically allocated when the shipment is processed and write-back occurs.

After checking the auto allocation setting in Sage 100 Additional Settings, and configuring Sage 100 as described in the setup section, both StarShip and Sage 100 ERP expect that items will not be pre-allocated. If any have already been allocated on the Sales Order, you may receive an error message after attempting to process the shipment. You will need to delete the shipment in StarShip, delete the partially created Invoice in Invoice Data Entry, then remove the allocations on the Sales Order (or change the setting to not auto allocate) and then re-process.
