Simple Shipments: Add Requested Pickup and Requested Delivery Date.

Schedule details can now be included when creating a copy of a sea import shipment.

Generate Container Milestones too for 'anonymous' Containers.

VGM Mail notifications can be disabled by parameter.

EDI Shipment XML interface has been enhanced to allow importing dangerous goods information.

New column on transport order overview allowing to visualize printed and non-printed transport orders also available in report after data export.

Description

The field ‘Tariff to’ and related filter ‘Not migrated’ have finally been removed from activity types and tariff overview.

Activity types can use a new charge role ‘Warehouse/Shed’ to allow jobcosting calculations for partners with that role.

The Scope tax logic in GB has been enhanced to allow distinction between different reasons for tax exemption. As new reason codes will be generated, existing tax-code-filters and general ledger-filters should be reviewed.

Shipment overview related reports are enhanced with new columns ‘Container References (Shipment)’ and ‘Container Number incl. References (Shipment)’.

New columns for STD and STA are available for shipment overview reports.

Column ‘Cancellation Reason’ is now available as an optional column in the shipment overview detailed report.

A new payment term type ‘Prepayment (PP)’ has been introduced to improve the shipment block feature. The usage of this payment term type is similar to the type ´Cash on delivery (COD)´ but it results in different blocks with a different error message to distinguish between prepayment and cash on delivery partners.

The order type is shown in the ‘Tariff on’ column on the shipment jobcosting tab if the sub-order does not have a reference number.
