Knowledge Base Article for the Task Management
CO₂ calculation
CO₂ calculation allows configuring individual movement scopes per shipment/booking.
A new option within the CO₂ detail dialog allows to configure individually which of the pre-carriage, main leg and on-carriage legs shall be taken into CO₂ calculation. This allows to calculate the footprint correctly for various special scenarios, e.g. for simple shipments road where pre-carriage and on-carriage already cover the full path and the main leg should not be included in the CO₂ calculation.
Flights
Added a Road Feeder Service (RFS) flight marker and respecting this flag in the CO₂ calculation
Departure Control
- Added a reset option to Departure Control
- Execution of the departure control on master level creating manual entered DEP/ARR events is now synchronized down to the house shipments linked to the master. This allows a better coverage of triggering actions based upon DEP/ARR events in the house tracking plan
DGR
DGR Enhancements to support ADR in Air- and Simple-Shipments: adding fields “ADR-Packing-Type” and “Technical name” in DGR panel (which had already been available for Ocean Shipments). Enhancement includes these fields being available for TransportOrder Interface.
Air Security
- Allow SPX by KC via 3rd party with airline messaging including (a) the RA number of the issuer plus (b) the RA number of the accepting party plus (c) the KC number
- Air Security with manual confirmation: Prevent print/finish/send of secured AWB if confirming person's name not on AWB
- Changed security behavior of Super-House Shipments being same as that of Master Shipments
Ocean
Portbase Secure Chain Container Release
Allow EAN Number Entry on Road Carrier and validate EAN Check Digit for Portbase
In case this (new) action is selected for a given shipment/master, a new dialog opens to allow nominating an inland operator for each container (found in the received webhook event from portbase)
CMR

-
allows the collection of CMRs per Transport Order
-
allows OK (besides Print, PDF, Cancel) now, so that you might store changes only

Air Freight Booking Portal in Quotations
To do a search, the Departure, Destination, Pieces, Gross Weight, and Volume fields must be filled in on the General tab of a quote.
To initiate the search, go to the Calculation tab. On the Calculation tab, you can access the Air Freight Booking Portal in two different ways:
Single Search-
only fills in the booking option
-
to be opened via the link “Lookup flights and rates via the Air Freight Booking Portal...”
-
Simply enter the ETD and run the search (limited to ETD + 4 days)
-
Click “Search flight”, then on the next page you can select a flight
The costs will be applied, and the selected flight will be added to the quotation. Any other distinct charges (e.g., from a tariff) will remain unchanged.
- To search for multiple flights/rates at once, you must first enable the “Offer multiple options” feature.
- Next, click on “New by Air Freight Booking Portal”
- The search process is the same. In the results, you can select multiple rates by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on your desired options.
General Notes
- The Recalculate function is also compatible with rates from the Air Freight Booking Portal, for example, when there are changes to the chargeable weight.
- The fields in the search remain editable.
- The values on the General tab apply to the quotation. If a search is performed using a chargeable weight of 200 kg, but the quotation reflects only 100 kg, the selected rate will be calculated based on the 100 kg weight.
- A tagging system to indicate the source of the rates (Manual, Tariff, Booking Portal) is currently under development.
e-Invoicing
XRechnung
With Scope 25.0, users can generate XRechnung invoices directly from Scope. An XML file is created and sent to the invoice recipient.
You can define the invoice format individually for each recipient/debtor. This is facilitated by the new “E-Invoicing” tab, which includes fields from the Invoice Generation and introduces additional fields.
Once the XRechnung format is selected, the “Additional Data Fields” become mandatory. The fields for Routing ID (BT-10, which refers to the invoice recipient or an email) and Buyer’s electronic address (BT-49, typically an email of the recipient) are required in the XRechnung format. Default values for both fields will be taken from a person marked as the “Invoice Recipient” in the debtor profile. If these fields are missing, an error message will prompt you to create them.
This setup also applies when you designate XRechnung as the format for the entire legal entity, which can be configured in the Accounting Settings under the “Invoices” section for “Legal E-Invoicing.”
For partners who have a different E-Invoice standard than XRechnung in their debtor profile, the XRechnung format will not be applied. Specific corporate E-Invoice formats will take precedence.
Additional notes of interest:
- The filenames of the XML files now match those of the invoice PDFs.
- E-invoices of all formats are now stored in the Scope Document Archive.
Here is a knowledge base article to cover this topic:
How do I set up e-invoicing in Scope?
