Use the Process Shipments - Current Manifest window, including the International tab, to enter package delivery information for domestic shipments.
To process domestic StarShip shipments:
From the StarShip main menu, display the Ship-StarShip-Current Manifest window in one of the following ways:
From the Do menu, select Ship.
Click the Ship button.
Click the New icon to display the New Shipment window.
In the Document field select Eclipse as Server.
Note: You only need to do this the first time you use StarShip.
In the Key field, enter the sales or work order number. For example, enter S0059532.001 and click Continue.
The system populates the shipping window with information from the order. The system populates the carrier and service based on the ship via assigned to the order.
Note: If you are shipping a package that is not associated with an order, you can enter the customer ID preceded by a period. For example, enter .59532. The system populates the shipping window with information from the customer record.
Check that the recipient and sender information is correct.
Note: A check mark in the Residential check box for a recipient indicates that the shipment is going to a residential address. If you always ship to a residential address for a designated customer, you can set up this flag in the customer record.
Check that the correct carrier and service are selected.
Enter a check mark in the Scale check box and place the package on the scale connected to your PC.
The system populates the Weight field with the package weight.
Note: If you do not have an electronic scale connected to your PC, you can enter the weight.
Enter any other required shipment information and package options.
If you set up a global default handling charge, the system populates the Shipment Options tab with the default.
The system populates the following fields using data from the sales order:
COD - If the order is COD in Eclipse, the system flags the C.O.D. check box on the Package Options tab. If the customer uses Eclipse Credit Card Authorization and the generation that is shipping has a credit card pre-authorization, the C.O.D. box is not checked.
Hazardous Materials - If a product on the order is assigned a hazard class, the system flags the Hazardous check box on the Package Options tab for all packages in the shipment. Remove the flag for all non-hazardous packages.
Shipping Instructions - The system populates the Detail tab in the upper right area of the window with the shipping instructions entered on the Header screen of the order.
To add multiple packages to the shipment, click Next and repeat steps 7and 8.
To declare a value for the shipment, enter the declared value in the Insured Value field.
Double-click the Declared Value... button to have the system configure and display the insurance charge.
Copy the Customer ID on the Recipient tab to the Invoice # field on the Reference tab.
Click Save.
The StarShip system prints the package label and returns the rate information to the Eclipse system. The Eclipse system records the freight and handling charges on the Totals screen of the sales order and records the shipping details in the change log accessed from the order Header screen.
