TRANS-611 - Logistics Server. Fixed issue with quote based shipping. Resolved an issue where shipping a pre-rated freight item could apply rating options twice.
TRANS-608 - Logistics Server. Changed priority of profile permissions. A possible breaking change has been made to how permissions are selected when performing all transactions.

Prior to this release, applicable permissions were selected as follows:

  1. If a user specific permission exists, select it.
  2. If a profile permission row exists in the database row order before any All User permission, select it.
  3. Otherwise, any All User permission is selected.

Now it is:

  1. If a user specific permission exists, select it.
  2. If a profile permission exists, select it.
  3. Otherwise, any All User permission is selected.

Due to the change in step 2, profile permissions previously ignored due to their position in the database will now take effect. To ensure a seamless customer upgrade, review the scope and impact of this change before upgrading version. Any issues can be resolved by setting more specific permissions.
TRANS-610 - FedEx Web Services. Corrected customs insurance charges currency handling. An issue has been corrected with FedEx Web Services, whereby the default currency code was always passed within the CustomsClearanceDetail section of the carrier request. To change this value, map the following node:

PierbridgeShipRequest/Packages/Package/International/CustomsClearanceDetail

You must map this value, if you need to process an international request that has items defined in a different currency to the default. FedEx Web Services carrier component 1.1.0.0 available. See Update Carrier Components.
TRANS-609 - FedEx IPD. Removed validation on manually provided IOR codes in ship requests. The validation relating to FedEx IPD shipments has changed. An IORCode can be provided in each ship request. In all previous versions, the product validated this code and its validity for the destination country. However, this caused issues when multiple IOR codes were required for the same country. As such, all validation relating to the IOR code has been removed when one is provided in the ship request. If no code is provided, the product will attempt to find one for the destination country, and will still fail if it finds duplicates for the same country.
