3. Batch Shipment – Remove Shipment from Batch

We have enhanced the Batch Shipment module that allows users to remove individual shipments from a batch after it has been created. This feature applies only to batches that are in Created or Error status and gives users better control and flexibility in managing their shipment groups. This update includes validation and logging to ensure data consistency and auditability throughout the process.

To remove a shipment from a batch, follow the instructions

1. Go to Batch Shipment

2. Click on a batch with status Created or Error

3. Locate the shipment in the list

4. Click the Action dropdown and select Delete

   

   

Once deleted:

• The shipment’s BatchId will be cleared.

• The shipment will be removed from the batch's internal list.

• The batch’s Shipment Count will be updated accordingly.

• A comment will be added to the shipment: “Removed from batch”.

Note: Shipments with status "Shipped" cannot be removed from a batch.

Important: A batch must contain at least 2 shipments at all times.
For example, if a batch contains 3 shipments, only 1 can be removed. The system will not allow removal of 2 or more shipments that would bring the count below the minimum required.

4. Shipment Action Sounds

We have introduced a new feature that allows users to configure sound notifications for key shipment operations: Order Pull, Pack, Pack All, and Ship. This feature is designed to provide audio feedback for key actions and minimize manual oversight during repetitive tasks. Each action sound is configurable and can be enabled or disabled based on company preference.

To configure shipment sounds, follow the instructions

1. Navigate to the Configuration menu from the top navigation bar.

2. Click on Company Preference from the left panel.

3. Select the Sound tab.

4. Use the dropdowns to configure the following:

   • Enable ship – Enable or disable sound when shipment is marked as shipped.

   • Enable pack – Enable or disable sound when an item is packed.

   • Enable pack all – Enable or disable sound when all items are packed together.

   • Enable order pull – Enable or disable sound when an order is pulled from ERP.

5. Click Save to apply the changes.

5. Order Pull Notification for End Users

We have introduced a new notification enhancement to improve user awareness and communication during ERP-based order pulling. When an order is pulled from the ERP system (via Source), the system will now display a pop-up notification to the end user containing the instructions or message returned by the ERP system..

Functionality

• When an order is pulled from the ERP source, a pop-up message is triggered.

• The message contains the exact text sent from the ERP system.

• The pop-up includes an OK button, which the user must click to proceed.

• This ensures the user acknowledges the information every time an order is pulled from ERP.

Note

The pop-up notification will appear only if the ERP system provides any instructions or message for the order.
If there are no instructions returned by the ERP, the pop-up will not be displayed. This ensures users are prompted only when relevant guidance is available from the ERP system, avoiding unnecessary interruptions.

6. 2D Barcode Scanning

We have enhanced the barcode scanning functionality in the Ship screen to support 2D barcode formats. This enhancement allows users to scan a barcode containing Item ID, Quantity, and Serial Numbers, and automatically bind the data to the selected package. This feature significantly improves the speed and accuracy of the packing process by reducing manual data entry and ensuring serial number validations are enforced.

Existing Functionality

Previously, the system only supported scanning 1D barcodes containing Item ID.
When scanned, the Item ID would be matched against the product list and bound to the selected package.

New Functionality

The system now supports scanning 2D barcode data with the following format: Item ID, Quantity, Serial Number 1, Serial Number 2, …

To enable 2D scanning, a new toggle Multi Dimension Scan has been added under the Print/Scale Config section.

To scan a 2D barcode, follow the instructions

1. Navigate to the Ship screen.
2. Click on the Print/Scale Config icon (printer icon) at the top.
3. Enable the toggle for Multi Dimension Scan.
4. Add a package and ensure it is selected.
5. Scan the 2D barcode using your barcode scanner.
6. The system will automatically bind the scanned Item ID, Quantity, and Serial Numbers to the selected package.

Validations

• The scanned Item ID must exist in the item grid.

• Serial Numbers must be unique for the same Item ID within a package.

• Duplicate serial numbers for the same Item ID are not allowed.

7.  Location-Based Restrictions for Admin Screens

We have extended the “Limit by Location” functionality to all relevant admin modules. With this enhancement, users can now only view and manage data associated with their assigned locations. This update provides improved control over sensitive data, ensures consistency across modules, and aligns with location-based permission structures. This feature helps organizations maintain accurate and secure records by restricting users from accessing data that falls outside their operational scope.

Affected Screens

*   Packages

*   Products

*   Address Book

*   Carrier Management

*   Rules 

Key Functionality

*   Users can view, add, and edit data only for their assigned locations.

*   Users cannot access or modify records from locations they are not assigned to.

*   This restriction is consistently enforced across all supported admin screens.

*   No additional configuration is required for users who already have locations assigned through user settings.

8. Shipping Document Restriction by Location

We have enhanced the shipping document configuration to support location-based restrictions in addition to existing carrier-based rules. This enhancement brings greater flexibility and control to document generation, especially for customers operating across multiple warehouses or client-specific processes.

Functionality

• Document restrictions can now be applied using rules that support:

  • Carrier-specific documents

  • Generic documents

  • Location-based access control

• The system evaluates the rules at the time of shipment and only displays the relevant documents based on:

  • The selected carrier

  • The user’s location access

• Users will only see and be able to generate shipping documents that are valid for their location and the current carrier context.

9. Delivery Number Restriction per Integration – Draft Shipments

We have introduced a new system validation to prevent the creation of multiple draft shipments using the same Delivery Number within the same integration. This enhancement ensures data consistency and eliminates confusion during delivery lookups.

Previously, users were able to create more than one draft with the same Delivery Number under a single integration source. However, the system would retrieve only the latest draft when fetching delivery data, resulting in inconsistencies.

Updated Functionality

• The system now restricts users from creating multiple drafts with the same Delivery Number in the same integration.

• If a draft already exists for a given Delivery Number and integration, users will receive a warning message, and the system will block the duplicate draft.

  

• This validation ensures that only one active draft exists per Delivery Number within any given integration, preserving the integrity of shipment data.
