SAP B1 Options

SAP Options allow you to configure Related Documents, Source Documents, and other SAP-specific settings.

Options available for the SAP B1 interface can be accessed by selecting Setup > Source Interfaces > SAP B1 (version), and clicking on Options.

When checked, StarShip will search for related documents based on the Ship-To Address. When shipping, this allows you to select related documents to process when browsing documents on the Rate/Ship screen or in the Shipping Assistant.

To limit the number of related documents retrieved by StarShip, set a number here. The default setting is 8.

Options

When importing a document that has an existing non-posted shipment, always
  • Prompt: Prompt the user for action. The prompt will include the options to Create New, View, or Edit. Note that View is only available for Processed shipments; Draft (Open) shipments will always open in Edit mode.
  • Create New: StarShip will automatically create a new shipment from the data being imported from SAP without prompting the user.
  • Edit Existing: Set the existing document to “Open” status so that it can be edited.
  • View Existing: Open the existing shipment in View-only mode.

 

StarShip will search for any draft shipment or shipment processed within the last “#” days

When importing a document (Sales Orders, Invoices, etc.) from SAP, StarShip will scan all open (draft) shipments, and only the processed shipments within the number of days you set here, for shipments that may already exist for that document. So, for example, if you add a Sales Order to a shipment you’ve already saved or processed in StarShip, you can reprocess the shipment with the new order added without voiding write-back or tracking numbers. Note that you cannot set the number of days if you set the option above it to Create New.

Run in Diagnostic Mode

Check this option to have StarShip run in a special diagnostic mode that shows the raw input from the source interface before any mapping or translations are performed on it. When enabled, a Show Diagnostics button appears on the source interface tab. Clicking the Show Diagnostics button will display the input information from the source interface in raw message format for Technical Support purposes.

Enable Logging of Source Interface Transactions

StarShip will run in a special mode that provides more information to aid Technical Support. You can also specify Normal or Maximum levels of logging.

Disable Search of Source Documents

This option controls searching for SAP documents in the Shipment Editor. When it is checked, StarShip will not display the Search Documents grid and will require that you enter the exact Document Number.

Refresh List of Source Documents after shipping

When this option is checked, StarShip will update the list of SAP documents in the Documents grid after you process a shipment. New documents are retrieved and shipments no longer matching the filters (such as Unshipped) will not be seen. The default setting is checked.

Additional Options

Allow user to modify units to ship for line items from SAP B1 Delivery Notes

When checked, this option allows you to modify the units to ship after importing an SAP B1 Delivery Note into StarShip. When the shipment is processed, the Shipped Qty will then be updated in SAP.

Enable Pallet support for Delivery Notes

This setting is only applied when shipping Deliveries and selecting not create an Invoice in SAP Settings. When checking this option, the packages from SAP can be imported as Pallets for freight shipment. The items under each pallet will be put into a Loose Items box. SAP packages and package contents will not be updated on write-back for freight shipment.

Note

  1. SAP must have a package-level UDF called IsPallet to use this function. It accepts Boolean values like Y/N/1/0.
  2. A delivery can contain either pallets or packages. It cannot be both.
  3. When you check this box for the first time, you are required to create a new interface and link it to the source company to enable the default Handling Units mapping.

Retrieve order lines only from the entered warehouses

Check this option to retrieve only those items on the order that have the same warehouse(s). Enter each Warehouse code you want to include on a separate line. If this option is not checked, StarShip will retrieve order lines from any warehouse(s).

Note

When attempting to process a shipment for a warehouse that is not on this list, StarShip allows you to enter the order; however, you will receive a message stating it has been fully shipped.

Override existing freight value when shipping against Sales Orders

StarShip writes the freight back to SAP when you process a shipment. If there already is a freight value on the Sales Order, StarShip will overwrite the existing freight value when write-back occurs. When this option is not checked, StarShip will append the Freight to the Sales Order and will not overwrite the existing freight value.
