Fishbowl Options

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

Options available for the Fishbowl interface can be accessed by selecting Setup > Source Interfaces > Fishbowl 2020, and clicking on Options.

Retrieve related documents when shipping

When checked, StarShip will search for related documents based on the criteria chosen here. Depending upon the criteria selected, users can combine related documents by Purchase Order Number or by Ship-To Address. You can also limit the number of related documents to load when shipping by entering a number in the “Maximum number of related documents” field. The default setting is 8.

For “Related document criteria,” select the way StarShip should find related Sales Orders and Invoices. You can choose from Ship-To Address and Purchase Order Number. StarShip will not include documents in the search that have a blank Purchase Order Number.

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 the source interface 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 from Fishbowl, 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 an 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.

When editing a draft or processed shipment for which the source data has changed, always

If you open a shipment in Edit mode and the shipment data has been modified in Fishbowl since it was saved or processed in StarShip, select the action to take:

• Prompt user for action: User will receive a prompt to either reload the data from the source interface or keep the current shipment data as it is in StarShip.

• Reload all shipment data associated with the source document: Data changed by the user in StarShip will be lost.

• Keep all the current data in the shipment, shipper must manually make changes: Changes made in the source interface document after the shipment was processed/saved will not be applied to the shipment and will need to be manually modified by the user in StarShip.
  
  

Automatically process shipment upon receiving source document

Check this option to have StarShip process the shipment upon import into the Ship screen. In order for this to occur, packaging, weight, and complete shipment information must be present in the document. If your interface does not support importing package count, this will only work for single package shipments.  

Enable logging of Fishbowl 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.
