New Features

There are no new features in this release.

Enhancements

ERR Coversheet - Shipper Ref Label renamed to Memo/ Reference

We have renamed the Shipper Ref field to Memo/Reference in the ERR Coversheet Template. This change was made to eliminate confusion caused by inconsistent label names.

Previously, users entered values in the Memo/Reference field on the Create ERR screen, but the printed ERR coversheet displayed Shipper Ref, leading to misunderstandings. Users who print the ERR coversheet will now see Memo/Reference. This update ensures the label and the printed cover sheet are consistent across the screen.

Residential address verification

The residential address verification update lets users mark an address as residential instead of commercial (business/company address). With the new enhancement, users can change the address type (Residential or Commercial) during shipment before printing by clicking the Residential box in any shipping workflow.

Additionally, users can choose to make Address Validation (AV) optional or mandatory through Settings > Admin Options > Address Verification. Previously, addresses had to be validated through the Sender and Recipient address book, and users had to validate the address before shipment. Now, users can control this validation through settings.

There are three options under Admin Options > Address Verification:

• Get Suggestions: The system provides address suggestions based on entered keywords, and users can select a valid address to proceed.
• Automatically Apply Changes: The system automatically corrects the address to the closest valid match.
• No Change: The system does not validate the address and uses the entered address as is.

Preset - Ability to add/edit Sender address

Users can now add a Sender address to Presets. They can include a Sender address when creating a new Preset or edit existing ones to include a Sender address. To include a Sender address from the Create New Preset screen, select the address under Sender and select one of the following options:

• To make a change to the currently selected address, select Edit sender address, make the necessary changes, and select Done.
• To enter a new sender address, select Add new sender address, enter the address, and select Done.
• To select a different sender address from your address book, select View all senders and select the desired address.

USPS Stamp refund form address update

The USPS Stamp Refund form has a new address for the PC Postage Provider, Pitney Bowes. The previous address at 55 Jewelers Park Drive, Suite 300, Neenah, WI 54956, has been updated to 27 Waterview Drive, Shelton, CT 06484.

This change affects the following Stamp Refund forms:

• Commercial Clients Stamp Refund Form
• Schedule-48 Stamp Refund Form
• USPS CPU (Contract Postal Unit) Stamp Refund Form

Note: The OMAS (Official Mail Accounting System) Stamp Refund Form remains unchanged, as it directs users to the post office.

To access the Stamp Refund Form, navigate to Shipping & Mailing History > USPS Stamps > Print Refund Form.

Switzerland VAT ID number

The Swiss tax authorities are updating the VAT registration and vendor collection model for low-value consignments to meet the new VAT ID requirements. These changes apply only to international shipments.

The field previously labeled Customs Exemptions has been changed to Customs Exemptions/VAT ID (optional). The VAT ID must be 15 characters long and is case-sensitive.

Entering a valid VAT ID is optional and left to the user's discretion. The system will not validate the VAT ID. This update affects all products that support international shipments to Switzerland via USPS.

Issues Fixed

There were no issues fixed in this release.
