 Air Security

Manual update/entry of security status

For countries where the EU manual security confirmation feature is actively enforced by regulations (E.g., through the LBA in Germany) and the corresponding features is active (see also detailed release notes for Scope 24.2), Scope now allows authorized users to update the security status manually for legitimated users during manual confirmation of the air security status.

 star_green Tracking Templates Tracking templates feature a new applicability depending upon “Incoterm” values
 star_green Air Export Partner role “Agent” adds an option to disable the generation of “Delivery to Terminal” transport orders in “Airfreight” tab
 star_green

CO₂ Emissions

Make CarbonCare emission report available as mail attachment for invoices
 star_green Booking

Air carrier eBooking portal integration pilot phase starts with limited number of forwarder participants.

Allows to manage the entire air cargo booking process fully within Scope via a premium provider. The connected Rate & Book API is basically designed for spot requests. The Scope integration provides access to live / dynamic rates, covering any available airlines offering for a spot request including contract rates.

star_green General

star_green Booking

star_green Air Security

Allow entry of security status from a 3rd party scanning result in non-RegB-enabled offices

In some EU countries, federal authorities apply a less strict interpretation of the EU security rules than others. This option allows to enter 3rd party scanning result in such countries. The setting is available via Scope > Settings > Airfreight > Air Export Security Setup then Extras▾ > Security status settings > 'National regulations tolerates..' and is to be used at own risk. The feature is deactivated by default and we strongly recommend to keep this option deactivated.

Sea Carrier EDI Events

When receiving inbound events from a carrier in some cases the relating shipment / master is updated. We now check if data is really changed and store the shipment / master only, if there is a change. This prevents additional processes, which are triggered when storing a shipment / master.

star_yellow

star_yellow

Manifest Filing

star_yellow

Wink CC

Shipment Copy

When copying Shipment: Also copy document closing, VGM closing and empty pickup/return

 star_yellow

BHT

By EdiProfiles with interface type “BHT” it is now possible to map Scope package types to BHT package types. This setup is used, when generating a new BHT order for a shipment with dangerous goods, where the dangerous goods package type in the BHT order is set according to the mapping.

 star_yellow

Transport Order

The “Delete / Deactivate” dialog for transport orders has been improved: In case a transport order can be deleted, the dialog only asks if the user wants to delete the order, otherwise the user is asked if he wants to deactivate the order.

 star_yellow

Transport Order

Shows new indicator if printed and the printed date (last printed) added on the list of transport orders on a shipment

A very specific conversion of transport orders for OTX has been fixed, where in some cases invalid transport order messages had been generated in the CC.

star_red

Sea Carrier EDI Events

When receiving Sea Carrier EDI Events with an “eta”, “etd” (or “estimated”) attribute, this attribute is used to update relating data in the shipment (instead of using the event time). This change currently only has an effect on estimated CDC events (for sea import), where the estimated delivery to customer is set on a relating container entry.

 star_red

Prealert

A bug was fixed, when importing received prealert XML for seafreight shipments with containers. In case the container number in the XML was defined with a space (between prefix and suffix) no prealert was generated in the Scope system. The fix has been backported to release 24.6.

ATLAS V10.1 

In diesem Zollrelease wird in allen Einfuhrverfahren (SumA, Einfuhr, Zollager und AV) die MRN als primäre Registriernummer eingeführt. 

Zu erwähnen ist, dass es weiterhin auch die alte AT-Registriernummer geben wird. Die alte AT-Registriernummer wird parallel verwendet.

In Scope haben wir entschieden, dass wir ebenfalls die MRN als primäre Registriernummer führen und die AT-Registriernummer als Information behandeln. 

Beispiele hierzu, eine Erklärung zum Aufbau der MRN finden Sie in unserem Wissensdatenbank-Artikel zum Thema: Die MRN als primäre Registriernummer in allen Einfuhrverfahren: Handhabung in Scope.

 star_yellow AES

Bei der AES-Warnliste wurden auch AES mit aufgefürt die eine Rückweisungsmeldung mit E_EXP_STA_191 erhalten haben. Dies wurde korrigert, sodass diese AES-Vorgänge nicht mehr auf der Warnliste aufgeführt werden. 

 star_red NCTS Der Validierungskomfort war nicht mehr funktionsfähig: Es wurden keine Unterlagenvermerke am Feld mehr angezeigt und beim Klick auf die Validierungsmeldung ist man nicht wie gewohnt in das validierte Feld gesprungen.
 star_red AES Bei der E_EXP_ENT wurde das Ursprungsland nicht auf jeder Position validiert. Dies führte dazu, dass ein XML-Fehler geworfen wurde. Gemäß IHB ist dies ein Pflichtfeld. Dies wurde behoben.

The automation-tab in the accounts payable import appliance has a new option to finalize accounts payables automatically even though there are charge lines that are not linked to estimates.

The option is bound to a new permission “Finance: Accounts Payable Import Templates May select auto-finalize without estimates“ to ensure that it cannot be enabled by every user. The maximum tolerated estimate deviation still applies, if an estimate exists that has earlier been resolved by a charge line.

 star_yellow
