Other Changes
| ID | Salesforce | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 373230 | - | Reports. New Transaction Account Summary report. A new report has been added to Transtream, Transaction Account Summary - by Cost Center Code. The new report is based on the existing Transactions by Account Summary report, but instead groups shipments based on Cost Center Code rather than Cost Center Name. This additional report ensures that users with several cost centers assigned the same name can correctly distinguish the shipments processed with each. |
| 366016 | SF30124 | EDI. Amended treatment of time formats in requests. An issue has been resolved whereby time values in 214 responses were only accepted in HHmm formats. Now, the logic that processes times for 214 messages has been updated to accept the formats: HHmm, HHmmss, HHmmssf and HHmmssff (HH = hours, mm = minutes, ss = seconds, f = tenth of seconds, ff = hundredths of seconds). |

| 377347 | - | FedEx Web Services. Added missing hazardous shipping element to requests. An issue has been resolved whereby FedEx Web Services hazardous shipments failed when operating with Cargo Aircraft Only dangerous goods. This was due to a missing CargoAircraftOnly node in ship requests. |
| 380653 | - | Batch Tracking. Updated carrier processing. The logic used to determine which packages require tracking requests has been updated to remove packages for carriers that do not support tracking. This fix corrects issues whereby the Batch Tracking task included shipments which were not trackable. |

| 381463 | - | Personal Shipping. Updated support email configuration. The default configuration of the Support Credit Card Question Email setting, accessed via the Apps’ Help tray, has been updated to personalshipping@essentialhub.com. |
| 382609 | - | Shipping Apps. Requests now handled correctly when operating with SWOG. An issue has been resolved whereby additional Order nodes were added to ship requests when operating with the Shipping With Other Goods (SWOG) functionality enabled. Now, only one Order node is added per SWOG transaction. |
| 378243 | SF30938 | Banyan. Updated treatment of units of measure. An issue has been resolved whereby units of measure entered in lowercase were not accepted when operating with Banyan. Now, lowercase values are converted to uppercase and passed as expected in requests. |
| 327728 | - | DHL eCommerce. Updates to tracking logic. The tracking logic employed for DHL shipments has been updated to align with changes to the carrier’s tracking website. |
| 380681 | - | Data Management. Amended user permissions. An issue has been resolved whereby those with the role User could not edit other Users when operating via the Data Management App. |

| 376492 | - | Consolidated shipping. Amended handling of return addresses. The default return address is no longer passed when processing consolidated shipments; now, the return address as set in the relevant consolidated defaults is used. Additionally, added a checkbox to the shipping Apps’ Returns tab allowing you to override this functionality and use the default return address. Note that the checkbox is only shown if operating with the App setting Enable Consolidated Shipping set to True. |
| 376362 | - | Shipment Notifier. Tracking Urls now presented as expected. Tracking Urls are now generated correctly in the Shipment Notifier email template. This was caused by issues translating the ShipmentAccountNumber, ExternalCarrierIdentifier, ShippingKey, ShippingTrackingNumber, Identifier and Password variables. |
| 381074 | - | Shipping Apps. Corrected treatment of return contacts. If no return contact is set for a user’s location, the user’s full name is now returned instead of the username. This fix corrects issues whereby usernames were printed on shipping labels. |
| 380244 | - | FedEx Web Services. Resolved issues with Personal Shipment voiding. Voiding personal shipments processed with FedEx Web Services now functions as expected. Previously, the incorrect CSP key was passed to the carrier. |

Resolved issue whereby the FedEx stock types FedEx Ground OP-900 LL and FedEx Ground OP-900 LG were incorrectly mapped with Transtream stock types, causing document printing errors when shipping with FedEx Ground® carrier service. |
| 351744 | - | Transtream. Changed treatment of Minimum Age password setting. The Minimum Age password setting has been updated to allow a user to change a password, previously set by an Administrator, before the minimum age defined in the setting has expired. However, they may only do so once. Following this, the password cannot be changed until the age limit has expired or it is reset by an Administrator. In addition, all password changes made by Administrators are now stored in the user’s password records and form part of the password history and age checks associated with the user. |
