Air Freight
Overhaul IATA E-Freight Pouch Labels and print in label-printer and PDF formats
-
Scope now always prints both, label and PDF
-
The former E-Freight Pouch PDF form was designed like an Air Waybill, which is not conform to IATA Recommended Practice 1600u. The default form PDF got changed to the IATA RP 1600u.
-
For forwarders who like to continue generating an “AWB like” PDF, we recommend ensuring the “E-Freight Shipper Delivery Note” is enabled as default document for EAP/EAW. Print settings can be configured via Settings > Airfreight > AWB Print Configuration.
-
All fields which had been available for the former PDF (which was like the Air Waybill) are now available for the E-Freight Pouch label as well. This allows a wider range for individual adoption of custom E-Freight Pouch label forms.
Print… > Custom Print (from AWB > Draft&Printout button) shows the default setting from AWB Print Configuration and allows customizing a PDF generation for an air export shipment.

BHT Order > AES customs (general goods tab): enabled a dropdown list to select the MRN No.
Scope offers a dropdown menu to select from the already entered MRN numbers list (House shipments)
Ocean Carrier EDI
Enables the inclusion of individual adjusted contacts (name, function, e-mail address, phone number) for carrier haulage bookings from door or to door sent to ocean carriers – either from existing partners or from one-time-addresses.
Global Sailing Schedule
Set the “Global” sailing list as default instead of “n/a” (1). Carrier Service Code has been made available for review in a global sailing schedule query (2).
Tradetech/AMS
IMO number will be defaulted from global vessel schedule.
Document tab
On the new function “select kind of document” now a search field instead of drop-down is show. Drag-and-drop a document in documents tab and then enter a search query or double-click in the search field.

Harmonization in Dashboards: Show Error Message
When the customs system responds with an error, Scope displays a red cross in the dashboard and in the message flow box. Inside the box, there is now (same as in AES) a link to directly open the error message. No right-click needed any more
This harmonizes the behavior across all customs modules.
Finance
AP Imports: Payables (CSV, Excel, XML) can now be imported via drag & drop on the accounts payable overview.
