StarShip offers support for ACS Multi-Bin WMS, a 3rd party add-in for the Sage 100 ERP systems. There are two methods for using StarShip’s integration with Multi-Bin : one for a workflow where Multi-Bin items are pre-allocated on the Sales Order; and one for a workflow where Multi-Bin items are automatically allocated during the shipping process.
Pre-allocation Method
StarShip integration allows StarShip to recognize items that have already been distributed or allocated, so that the user does not have to perform distribution for Multi-Bin and Lot/Serial Distributable items while shipping.
Automatic Allocation Method
This method allows users to create a Sales Order with any combination of Multi-Bin and Lot/Serial Distributable (or non-distributable) items and ship against the Sales Order in StarShip. The Multi-Bin allocations are performed automatically when the Invoice is created by StarShip write-back. The StarShip Additional Options setting “Use ACS Multi-Bin option to allocate on the fly when StarShip creates the Invoice” allows StarShip to recognize items that have been already been distributed/allocated so that distribution for lot/serial distributable items is not required during shipping. This option is available in Setup > Source Interfaces > Sage 100 (version) > Options.
For more information, see Options.
