Yet another major release with lots of new and exciting features. In this release we've significantly improved the rates search feature, improved the process of resolving rating errors and expanded the activities eCargo can calculate costs for.

New features  

• Enhanced Rates Search: The process of finding rates has become much easier and faster with the new improved rates search feature. The search facility has been optimized to function more intelligently, automatically narrowing down the zone, product and supplier criteria as you make your search selections. It also now enables multiple selections.

• Improved rating errors: When a consignment or order fails to calculate a revenue or cost charge eCargo now provides more informative messages, assisting you in identifying what caused the error. There is now also a short cut button from the consignment page to the rates page, showing you exactly what rates the consignment used, or tried to use in it's calculations.

• Many types of charges on one consigments: Previously a consignment could only have one type of charge attached to it, such as road freight or sea freight. Now a consignment can have many different types of charges attached to it, such as port marshalling, documentation, fumigation or any custom charged added. These charges can then be invoiced as per the standard process. We now also provide the ability to edit existing charges, to cater for situations where an ad-hoc or spot rate has been used which differs from the base rates.

Bug Fixes

• Credit charges on invoice lines in Excel: When exported to Excel invoice line charges for credits were showing as a positive value. This has now been fixed and displays as a negative value.
• Credit charges on Accruals Report: The handling of credit line charges in the Accruals has been improved. There was the potential for an over accrual of freight costs where consignments had been credited and re-issued in the same month.
