HEADLINE ENHANCEMENTS

The following headline enhancements have been implemented in SendPro Enterprise:

View App. Improvements to tax charge calculations and display.

Affects all SendPro Enterprise users.

Details of tax charges applied to shipments are now displayed in the View App’s Charges tab. In addition, the logic used for rate markup and markdown calculations has been altered to improve handling of decimals. Previously, values would be stored as they were originally calculated to more than two decimal places. Now, calculated values will automatically be rounded up to the nearest cent, ensuring that charges are displayed correctly in the View App to two decimal places.

Cartonization. Added new element to cartonize request.

Affects all SendPro Enterprise users.

A new boolean element has been added to the cartonize request, ItemInitialOrientationPreferred, allowing all possible orientation combinations to be attempted when cartonizing. The element can be mapped, where appropriate, to SendPro Enterprise Apps; in the event that no mapping is created the element is enabled by default.

Cartonization. Carton configuration IDs now passed in requests.

Affects all SendPro Enterprise users.

A refId element has been added to the boxTypes node of cartonization requests, allowing carton configuration IDs to be passed in requests.

HubCapp. Improved connectivity display.

Affects all SendPro Enterprise users.

The WEIGH button in product Apps now automatically enables and disables with HubCapp connectivity status changes.

Outputs. Added ECCN/EAR99 element to international documents.

Affects all SendPro Enterprise users.

To align with US governmental guidelines, shipments destined to China, Russia or Venezuela now include an ECCN or EAR99 for each line item on the Commercial Invoice or a Shipper’s Letter of Instruction. Note that:

• ECCN: An Export Control Classification Number used to classify goods, technology and software to determine whether an export license is required.

OTHER CHANGES

Affects all SendPro Enterprise users.

A new report has been added to SendPro Enterprise, Transaction Account Summary - by Cost Center Code.

Note that the checkbox is only shown if operating with the App setting Enable Consolidated Shipping set to True.

Shipment Notifier. Tracking Urls now presented as expected.

Tracking Urls are now generated correctly in the Shipment Notifier email template. This was caused by issues translating the ShipmentAccountNumber, ExternalCarrierIdentifier, ShippingKey, ShippingTrackingNumber, Identifier and Password variables.

Postal Meter snippet. Added missing carrier detail.
