Define unique field names for your Sage 500 User Defined fields and they will be available for mapping in Customize Interface for your company in StarShip. StarShip will also automatically import the values associated with User Defined fields, which you can translate into StarShip shipment values.
The list is company-specific; therefore, when you edit the Sage 500 User Defined fields, you will need to reload the Customize Interface page to retrieve the updated fields.
It is also important that the field names you choose are unique for each document; in the case of duplicate field names, only one instance will appear in StarShip. User Defined fields having a blank field name will not display in StarShip at all.

Usage

Data Type

Once the fields have been added, they are available in Inventory Management > Maintenance > Maintain Items.
