Requirements for order printouts, bulk payment marking, and other new features

In the new version of fireTMS, we have introduced the following improvements:

Cargo transport requirements on the forwarding order printout

To meet the needs of fireTMS users, we have introduced the option to add cargo transport requirements directly to the shipping order printout. This provides the carrier with a clear and legible list of all specific guidelines.

To globally enable the printing of transport requirements (which were previously defined when entering the cargo into the system) for all external orders, go to Configuration >>  System configuration >> Spedition tab in the Printout configuration section and select the Default printing of order requirements for the carrier option. If necessary, this option can be individually enabled or disabled for a selected order — for a given order, click Print order with options and select or deselect the Print requirements box.

Information about the requirements will appear at the bottom of the printout, in the Requirements section. Automatically adding these guidelines reduces the risk of errors, saves time spent on manually completing documents, and facilitates communication with partners thanks to a uniform print format.

Bulk marking of payments on the list

In the new version of the system, we have introduced a feature that allows you to mark multiple payments at once from the payment list. To display the Select column, users must first select the Selection mode field. This will display a new column with checkboxes that allow you to select multiple items. Then, after selecting the payments, you can use the Mark in bulk option, which is located on the right side of the list.

After clicking this option, a window will open where you can enter the payment date and then confirm your selection by clicking the Mark payments button. You can select up to 100 payments.

This improvement allows you to quickly and conveniently mark multiple payments at once, which increases work efficiency, reduces the time spent on manual operations, and improves the smoothness of payment management.

Mark EU countries option for carrier liability policies

In the new version of fireTMS, we have added the Mark EU countries button to the International OCP and Cabotage OCP policy creation view, which selects all European Union countries with a single click. This eliminates the need to manually select individual countries and reduces the risk of omitting any of them. Users benefit from faster and more intuitive operation and can be sure that the policy covers the correct territorial area.

Improved contractor editing from the invoice level

Another new feature is easier access to contractor data editing. In the invoice editing view, users can now find a button that takes them directly to the contractor editing and their accounting information. In addition, the contractor editing view now includes an option that allows you to quickly navigate to the file with their operational data.

Importantly, the system takes user permissions into account: if a user does not have the appropriate role, they will not be able to go to the contractor editing screen. Changes made in the contractor editing screen will not affect the document from which the editing was opened.

Thanks to this change, users gain greater efficiency and intuitiveness in managing contractor data, and access to the necessary information becomes easier and faster.

fireTMS API – currency converter for purchase invoices

The latest addition to the system is the extension of the fireTMS API for purchase invoices with the ability to obtain information about currency exchange rates. Thanks to this, users can now obtain currency exchange rate data more easily and quickly, which allows for more accurate conversions when processing invoices. Detailed information can be found in the API documentation.
