Headline Enhancements

ID Salesforce Description
TRANS-1452 - SiteMinder Single Sign On authentication added. Product Admin's Security tab now includes Single Sign On as an Authentication Mode option.

See SiteMinder Single Sign On for details.

TRANS-1388 - project44. Implemented as the P44 carrier component. Transtream now supports project44 web service carrier APIs. These support LTL services and integrate with multiple carriers. project44 has been implemented and is onboarded as the P44 carrier component. See Add Carrier Components for details of how to add a new carrier component to an existing Transtream instance.

Once P44 is enabled as a carrier, you can add 'custom carriers' for any specific P44 carriers required (each is prepended with P44 and associated with the P44 account). In Apps, when P44 is the selected carrier, rating is against all P44 carriers associated with the customer's project44 account. When a P44 custom carrier is selected, rating is against that specific project44 carrier only (no Rate Shop step).

Monetary values for COD and Declared Value not supported in P44

Monetary values are not supported for the COD and Declared Value special services and should not be set in Apps.

The Administration App has been updated to support the onboarding of the P44 carrier component. Use Setup My System to onboard P44.

Must use Setup My System

At present, you cannot manually onboard P44. This is because the Administration App currently does not allow you to manually add the required number range reference data.

Once P44 is enabled, if required, use the new + ADD CUSTOM CARRIER button (on the Carriers page) to add any specific P44 carriers required.

See P44 (project44) Reference for onboarding information and carrier attributes.

As part of this work, also in the Administration App, the Edit Carrier popup now includes a Special Services tab where you can enable and disable the special service options available for the carrier. This has been implemented for all carriers. This image shows P44 (which supports over two hundred):

New versions of the Ship, View and Mailroom Apps are available with support for P44. The View App includes a Proof of Delivery tab when a P44 carrier is selected. Even though P44 is freight and therefore not relevant to Desktop, some internal mapping changes necessitate a new version of the Desktop App.

P44 and the Import Data from Shipment Server option

If you are installing a Logistics Server instance that will use P44 and intend to use the Import Data from Shipment Server option, do so in this order: install Transtream and onboard the carriers you have (and require) in Shipment Server, then use Import Data from Shipment Server, and then add the P44 carrier component (see Add Carrier Components). This sequence is necessary because P44 is not currently available in Shipment Server.
