SAP B1 Custom Write-Back

StarShip can write back to the header and package fields in SAP for Sales Orders, Deliveries, and Invoices. To access Custom Write-Back Setup, select Setup > Source Interfaces > SAP B1 (your version) and click the Interfaces heading. Then, click the Customize Interface button for Sales Orders, Deliveries, or Invoices to set up write-back for that document. These fields are under the Custom Write-Back heading.

Header Fields

You can customize write-back to these header fields on the SAP document.

Expected Delivery Date

StarShip can write the estimated delivery date back to the “Delivery Date” field on the SAP document. Select “Maps from StarShip field” and select the StarShip field “Estimated Delivery Date”.

Ship Via and User-Defined Fields

StarShip can also write back to the Ship Via field, and header level user-defined fields (accessible in SAP from View > User-Defined Fields), on the SAP document.

 

Package Fields

Package Type

StarShip can write the Package Type back to the SAP Packing Slip when you process a shipment. In SAP, Package Types are configured Administration > Setup > Inventory > Package Types.

 

You can either choose to set a Fixed Value for the Package Type (for example, Box).

 

Or, you can map it to the StarShip Field “Package Packaging Type” and then, under Value Translations, set a value for each Package Type you want to use in StarShip.

The Package Types you have set up in SAP are automatically populated in the right column of the Value Translations section. Select an SAP value from the drop-down list for each “Package Packaging Type” value. You can also set them all to one value, such as Box. When you are done, click OK to save your work.

User-Defined Package Fields

StarShip can write back to any User-Defined fields on the Packing Slip for Existing Packages. You can map them to a Fixed Value or to a StarShip field.
