Headline Enhancements
| ID | Salesforce | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 300042 | - | Personal Shipping. Updated handling of carrier configuration. Carriers only configured for use with Personal Shipping no longer show as setup on the Administration App’s Setup My Carriers home page. Additionally, Personal Shipping carriers will not show in product shipping Apps unless they are also configured for standard shipping. |
| 289091 | - | Personal Shipping. Improvements to default Ship From configuration. Users can now set an alternative default Ship From address for operation with the Personal Shipping App. This can be configured via the Address Book, or using the new Set as my Personal Shipping ship from address checkbox in the App. If not set, Transtream will continue to use the default profile information for the logged in user. See Personal Shipping - Shipment Details. |
| 299580 | - | Personal Shipping. Introduced support for new output. A new output type, Personal Shipping Label, has been added to Transtream. The output is exclusively used for Personal Shipments.

Carrier Changes

Other Changes
| ID | Salesforce | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 300461 | - | HubCapp. Added validation to Peripheral Config Settings snippet. The Peripheral Config Settings snippet now validates credentials on save; error messages display if invalid details are entered. |
| 289284 | - | Apps. Updates to hotkey mappings. The functionality of the F12 hotkey has been changed to use F10. This is due to universal inbuilt browser behavior whereby F12 is used to open developer tools. The change applies to the MailCenter, Warehouse, Store and Supplier Apps where F12 was used as a Ship shortcut. |
| 294504 | - | Designer. Removed support for Oracle data sources. Support for Oracle data sources has been removed from Designer. For detail on alternative data sources, see Designer - Connection Types. |
| 303177 | - | CEVA. Improved diagnostic logging. Additional logging has been added to CEVA AS2 carrier requests and responses. |
| 293689 | SF27180 | Administration App. Enhancements to output configuration. When adding new labels and documents in the Administration App, the Output Type field has been changed to a data lookup, thus making it easier for users to find the relevant output. |
| 294115 | - | Canada Post. Removed unsupported special services. Unsupported COD special services have been removed when operating with Canada Post. When processing shipments with the carrier, now only supported options are shown in the Special Services lookup (COD - Guaranteed Funds and COD - Cash). For detail, see Canada Post Reference. |
| 302183 | - | Reports. Resolved issues with Account IDs. The correct Account ID is now passed when generating the PB Shipping API - USPS Account Balance report; previously, account information was taken from the default carrier permissions, regardless of the account in use. |
| 304665 | - | Shipping Apps. Updated handling of Pick Best Rate option. Processing shipments with the Pick Best Rate option enabled now functions as expected, where previously the Apps would fail to load when rating. This was due to a missing RequiredDate node in the ship, rate and rateshop requests. |
| 300700 | - | Loomis. Special Handling special service now displays correctly. A dropdown has been added to the Special Services lookup when operating with the Loomis Special Handling service; the dropdown enables users to select a relevant value (Non Standard Packaging, Fragile, Special Handling) when applying the service to shipments. |
| 294506 | SF27567 | YRC Freight. Resolved issues with density calculations. Density is now calculated as expected when operating with YRC Freight. Previously, the ItemsOnPallet element was incorrectly mapped to the carrier’s handling units, causing errors when determining cubic feet and density. |
| 300479 | SF28018 | Personal Shipping. Updated handling of international rate groups. The identification logic of the Personal Shipping international rate group has been simplified. Previously, this was done at the carrier service level, potentially causing errors if the services were edited. |
| 306555 | - | Shipping Apps. Resolved Package/Freight tab display. An issue has been corrected whereby both the Package and Freight tabs displayed in the shipping Apps on load. |
| 291358 | SF27582 | FedEx Web Services. Resolved handling of hazardous shipping. Processing hazardous shipments with FedEx Ground now functions as expected; previously the ContainerType and NumberOfContainers elements were not included in the carrier request. |
| 300351 | SF27888 | Transtream. Corrected database connection errors. An issue has been resolved whereby Transtream could not connect to the database when operating with a connection string set to WindowsAuth mode. There is a new version of Transtream Setup (3.28.0). |
| 289273 | - | Administration App. Updated search logic. The search logic in the Administration App has been updated to always perform a “contains” search, where previously an “equals” search would be used. This corrects issues whereby searching did not return all relevant records. |
| 298954 | - | Designer. Corrected issue with XML request mappings. When mapping XML requests in Designer, all available nodes are now displayed as expected. Previously, nodes with the type foreign key were not recognised by Designer, and thus did not show when configuring button XML requests. |
| 291735 | - | Warehouse App. Carton Selection now handled correctly. Carton Selection is now handled as expected in the Shipping Apps, where previously configuring the field disabled the dimension input fields for other packages not using a specified carton type. |
| 291738 | SF27533 | Designer. Edits to mappings now saved correctly. Removing mappings in Designer now functions as expected, correcting errors whereby edits to mappings were not saved correctly. |
| 289282 | - | Administration App. Editing carrier services now functions as expected. Corrected performance issues when editing carrier services via the App’s Carriers tab. |
| 293408 | - | Canada Post. Purolator. Corrected Commercial Invoice errors. When shipping with Canada Post or Purolator, the Commercial Invoice document now generates as expected. |
| 296040 | SF27845 | Hazardous shipping. Updated FedEx handling of hazardous outputs. The Hazardous Shippers Declaration document now prints as expected when operating with FedEx Web Services. |
| 302109 | SF28063 | Administration App. Corrected field mappings when adding Products. Editing and saving the Class / Division field, via the Products page of the App’s Data tab, now functions as expected. Previously, the field was incorrectly mapped. |
| 291703 | - | Purolator Courier Server. Loomis. Corrected issues with special services. The Delivery Confirmation - Signature Required special service now functions as expected with Purolator, where previously the carrier specific name for the service was not handled correctly in Transtream. Additionally, errors have been resolved when operating with the Loomis special service Special Handling. |
| 289201 | SF27330 | Voiding. Corrected handling via the View snippet. An issue has been resolved whereby duplicate error messages would appear when voiding using the View snippet. |
| 293295 | - | Task Scheduler. Tasks now run as expected. An issue has been corrected whereby scheduled tasks did not run correctly. This is now resolved. |
