Software Release Part 2 - September 2011

There are a few important updates that were not included in the initial description of this release.  Feel free to contact our Technical Solutions Team at (877) 207-6379 with any questions.

210 EDI Variance (Carrier Payables)
We have expanded the flexibility of the automated EDI acceptance criteria to allow you to change the upper and lower amounts that you have approved. This allows you to independently change the amounts that you short pay and over pay your carriers. It also allows you to automatically accept more EDI data and reduce the number of exceptions.

Rating Integrations
We have added additional rating integrations to third party brokers. Specifically, we can support rating with Echo global logistics and IGL. If you work with these brokers and would like to integrate the rating engine, please let us know and we will help you get the systems connected.

Shipment Reference Numbers
An additional reference number field has been added to the quote pages and shipment profile. The additional field is named "Reference Number" and can be used as a third option when helping to identify a shipment.
