SendPro Enterprise version 8.29.0 Release Notes (June 19, 2019)
HEADLINE ENHANCEMENTS
The following headline enhancements have been implemented in SendPro Enterprise:
Shipping Apps. Rating.
Added support for mixed rate groups. Rate groups can now contain both parcel and LTL services. If a mixed group is selected, when rating a Freight Options popup presents allowing users to specify additional freight details. If a freight rate is selected, all existing packages, line items and special services are consolidated into a single freight package.
In support:
- Added the App settings Default Ship Before Time and Default Pallet Cube Dimensions for the MailCenter, Warehouse, Store and Supplier Apps. See All App Settings for detail.
- Added the special service Declared Value for UPS Freight API. The carrier requires this value to be passed in order to rate successfully; previously this was achieved via the Declared Value field in the Shipping Apps. See UPS Freight API Reference for detail.
- The Carrier Service snippet has been updated to specify if a rate group contains both parcel and LTL services. Additionally, the Special Services button is no longer disabled when a rate group is selected.
- The Rate Shop Viewer snippet has been modified to display warnings for individual rates regarding unsupported special services.

In addition, updated handling of table serialization in the shipping Apps.

View App.
Updated voiding process. Added the App setting Enable Void for the View App, controlling if the Void options are visible in the App.
