New Default & Feature: Auto Insert BOL Signature
When this new global default is enabled called “Enable BOL Auto Signature”, it will allow users to upload a signature image to customer profiles and have that image inserted on BOLs when load is dispatched.
This insert will be based on the load’s creation date, set in the global default.
In the Customer Profile Preferences, staff will need to enable “Shipper Signature with Date (pickup date) on BOL”.
There will be a new Customer Tool called “Upload Shipper Signature” where staff can upload the signature image to be used. Best image format would be .png or .tiff with a transparent background.
The signature image from the customer’s profile will be inserted onto the BOL document as the shipper’s signature once a load moves into DISPATCHED status.
New Default & Feature: “Global Address Book From Shipping”
Once enabled, users will be able to save addresses from the full form to the global address book.
A new check box will appear in the shipper and consignee boxes for the save action to occur.
Once an address is saved to the global address book, you can also then set the Appointment options (if Appointment Management default is enabled).
TriumphPay Audit
Added logic where if a load has an unresolved dispute, TP will not create the customer invoice or receive the payable until it’s resolved.
Macropoint Wish List
Available to use if Macropoint tracking or Capacity is enabled.
-
New carriers added will go over to Macropoint Wishlist every 2 hrs.
-
Updates to carriers are sent every Friday at 8:00PM PST.
New Invoice Preference Delivery Option - “EDI with Support Docs (FTP)
Must have BOL and/or POD Required checked in order for this to work properly.
With this invoice delivery preference, users can setup the formatting of the File Name along with File Extension Type the customer wants to receive it as for BOL and POD documents uploaded to the load prior to invoicing.
The File Extension Type will convert whatever documents are uploaded as BOLs and/or PODs into the noted type of choice - .tif, .jpg, .pdf or can be sent as the original file extension.
There is also a choice for POD images to be sent as DR for its image type.
