Enhancements

🟪 Enhancement: International Shipment Broker Requirements
For international shipments, broker information is now required to ensure accurate rating and successful processing:

  • Broker information must be added to the order before rating.

  • Rating will fail if broker details are missing.

This requirement helps prevent rating failures and ensures that international shipments are properly configured before they are submitted.


Bug Fixes

🟩 Resolved Issue: Corrected Issue Where Insurance Value Not Set Properly
Resolved an issue to properly use the Insurance value when the Carrier Insurance shipment service is activated.

🟩 Resolved Issue: Corrected Issue With WWEProbills in LTL PRO Setup
Resolved an issue where where ProNum values were no longer being generated if Site/Facility values were blank.

🟩 Resolved Issue: Missing ProNum Generation for AVRT and ABFS
Resolved an issue where ProNum values were no longer generated for LTL carriers AVRT and ABFS.

🟩 Resolved Issue: Reference Data Not Transmitting (Configuration Update)
Resolved an issue where WWEX was not receiving reference data after a configuration update. Two root causes were identified and addressed:

  • A minor connector code correction is included in this release.

  • Carrier Settings entered in the UI were overriding the Settings File with incomplete values.

Important behavior changes and guidance:

  • If using Carrier Settings in the UI, all required reference fields must be fully defined.

  • Partial entries will override and cancel corresponding values from the Settings File.

  • Missing fieldname attributes will prevent settings from loading correctly, which can result in reference data not transmitting to WWEX.

When overriding via the UI, ensure that reference fields are configured using complete definitions, such as:

//ShipmentDetails/UserFields/UserField9

This helps guarantee that WWEX receives the expected reference information for each shipment.

🟩 Resolved Issue: Commodity Description Source Alignment

Updated processing to source the WWEX commodity description from the Pacejet Classification Description field, aligning terminology between WWEX (commodity) and Pacejet (classification) for consistent data mapping.
