Headline Enhancements

ID Salesforce Description
346433 - ActiveReports. Support for new version. Transtream has been updated from ActiveReports 12 to now use ActiveReports 14.2. There is a new Reports Editor (1.2.0).
368289 - Personal Shipping App. Updated admin configuration options. Updated the options available for the Personal Shipping App in Product Admin. Support for advanced configuration settings, such as enabling the App, importing, opening in Designer, have been removed. In addition, a global permission for the Personal Shipping App has been added, ensuring new users automatically gain access to the App.

Note that existing versions of the Personal Shipping App are removed upon product upgrade and replaced with the latest version. Any existing configured App settings will be applied to the new App version.
368998 - Data Management. New entities. Support for new entities, Pending and Shipping Order Header, have been added to the product, and are available for import and export via the Data Management snippet.

The addition of the Pending entity allows you to import rows into the [Pending] database table. With Pending imports, a BatchIdentifier element can be passed on a per row basis. For each import transaction including a BatchIdentifier, a group is created in the [ShipmentGroups] table. The ID of the shipment group is assigned to the ShipmentGroupID of the pending item, and any other pending items with the same BatchIdentifier in the import file. Pending imports cannot be used to update existing rows in the database; updates to existing Pending items can be achieved via the Batch Processing App. Note that for US addresses, region codes must be passed as state codes (E.g. NY rather than New York).

For entity details, see Data Management - Importing Data.

In addition, added a new parameter to the Data Management snippet, Entities, controlling the entities available for processing. It can be set to:

  • All (default) - users can import/export all exposed data entities.
  • Pending - users can only import/export the Pending entity.
  • Order Header - users can only import/export the Shipping Order Header entity.

For detail, see Data Management Snippet.
365920 SF29881 Users. Improved error handling. Additional logging has been added to the user entity to improve error handling.

Carrier Changes

ID Salesforce Description
357693 - FedEx Cross Border. Added new carrier. Transtream now supports the carrier FedEx Cross Border. For onboarding detail and carrier attributes, see FedEx Cross Border Reference. When operating with consolidated shipping, this carrier supports First Mile Shipments. For detail, see Consolidated Shipping.

Other Changes

ID Salesforce Description
368308 SF30354 OnTrac. Improved treatment of voided shipments. Added the ability to cancel OnTrac shipments. Note that voiding a shipment will only do so within Transtream; you must contact OnTrac directly to cancel the shipment.
369989 SF30557 Warehouse App. State field now set as expected for Canadian addresses. The State field is now set correctly in the Warehouse App when operating with a Canadian Ship From address.
369008 SF30161 Apps. Updated time selection logic. Fields requiring a time input (E.g. Ship After Time) have been updated to allow manual entry of a time, without the value being rounded to the nearest hour upon processing. This fix corrects issues with FedEx Same Day City API whereby time values were rounded incorrectly, causing shipments to be outside pickup collection windows.
357031 SF29938 Banyan. Shipping times now handled correctly in requests. Added logic to ensure that rate and ship requests contain valid values for the ShipDate, ShipAfterTime and ShipBeforeTime when operating with Banyan. The data is handled in carrier requests as follows:
  • Shipper Dock OpenTime is set to ShipAfterTime.
  • Shipper Dock CloseTime is set to ShipBeforeTime.
  • Shipper Dock ShipDateTime is set to the middle value between ShipAfterTime and ShipBeforeTime.
371782 SF30615 Administration App. Resolved issues when configuring Charge Types. Editing and saving Charge Types via the Reference Data page of the Administration App’s Data tab now functions as expected.
369033 - Data Management. Improved treatment of local file imports. Improved the information message that presents to users when re-running local import templates. Additionally:
  • The RUN button is now disabled if files have not been re-selected.
  • The file mappings are now preserved if the re-selected file names match those in the template.
