Before setting up MAPADOC, review the following requirements:
- The SPS Commerce powered by MAPADOC option must be added to your StarShip registration.
- StarShip v21.2.1 or higher
- VTechEndPointV5_2021R1 or higher
- Acumatica 2021 R1 or higher
Setup
- Unpublish Customizations: If you are currently using any customization projects, you will need to unpublish them along with the V-TECH Endpoints. All the customizations will then be republished, at the same time, in the next step. See Unpublish the V-TECH Endpoints for instructions.
- Publish Customizations: Follow the Upload and Publish the Endpoints procedure to publish the Endpoints and any other customizations together.
StarShip Setup
When you Ship/Process a Shipment, StarShip will write back to the MAPADOC fields on the Shipment in Acumatica. This requires mapping fields in Custom Write-Back Setup for the Shipment.
To access Custom Write-Back Setup, select Setup > Source Interfaces > Acumatica (version), and under Interfaces, select the Customize Interface button for Shipments.
Fields Mapped By Default
Under the Header section, find the fields prefaced by [MAPADOC]. We provide default mapping for the following fields, i.e., the fields are already mapped for you:
- [MAPADOC] PRO Number is mapped to the StarShip PRO Number field;
- [MAPADOC] Bill of Lading Number is mapped to the StarShip BOL Number field;
- [MAPADOC] Delivery Date and Time is mapped to the StarShip Estimated Delivery Date field.
Fields You Need to Map
These are the fields you will need to map to StarShip fields for write-back.
Under the Header section, map the following fields:
- [MAPADOC] Trailer Number: You can create a StarShip User Definable field to map to; for example, “Trailer”.
- [MAPADOC] Shipment UDF 1 – 5 can be mapped to StarShip User Definable fields or other StarShip fields.
Under the Package section (package-level fields), map these fields to StarShip package fields:
- [Package] [MAPADOC] UCC-128 can be mapped to StarShip field Package Container ID (SSCC)
Be sure to click Save All Maps when you’re done. Once these fields are mapped, you are ready to start shipping.
