TruckMate 2023.1 New Features: Back Office

You can now copy shipping instructions when consolidating freight bills.

As of this version of TruckMate, the standalone AR Transaction Types (ARATX.EXE) application is no longer available.

All fields that were originally in AR Transaction Types now exist in an AR Transaction Types tab.

The tab has been added as an option on the Tabs Setting - Codes window in Security Configuration.

Now, when you select a table in the User Fields tab, a grid appears that lists the fields. When you double-click on a record in the grid, the corresponding column information appears in the Column field.

To improve TruckMate’s handling of cube dimensions in the Reweigh Line Items window, these changes were made:

In Security Configuration, a new CSERV - Allow Edit of IP Info for a Non-Active Vendor option has been added to the Security tab on the Business Events - Allow Changes window. By default, it is deselected.

When selected, users can edit any information (that is not read-only by default) on the I/P tab for a non-active vendor.

On the InterModal tab, you can now include pre-pull bills when creating an intermodal trip. A pre-pull bill represents a movement that occurs between two points.

In addition, if the CSERV.EXE Application Configurator option Copy IM Other is set to All, associated pre-pull bills are copied when copying an intermodal bill.

In this Load Optimizer illustration, the highlighted pre-pull bills were assigned to an intermodal trip when the trip was created in Customer Service.

In Security Configuration, a new CSERV - Allow Edit of Check List Item Complete Status has been added to the Security tab on the Business Events - Allow Changes window. By default, it is selected.

With it selected, users can now change checklist item completion statuses in Customer Service and Trip Envelope Processing.

If a user without this permission attempts to change an item’s status, an error message appears.

In the Imaging API, an error is returned if a user does not have permission to change item statuses.

On the Export to Direct Deposit window, selecting NACHA in the Transfer Format field displays the NACHA Return Account Information tab. On this tab, you can now select CHA (Chase Bank) in the NACHA Type field. When you select this value, a new Comp. Discret. Data field appears.

For more information on the data required in this tab, see the NACHA file specifications available on the Chase Bank website.

If the DISPATCH.EXE Carrier IC Option Application Configurator option is set to One bill per bill (Yes), a single intercompany bill is created for each bill on a trip.

Previously, for intercompany configurations, charges were prorated to a single bill regardless of the cost rule selected in the Carrier Information window (aside from One Bill).

Now, charges are prorated across all bills if the Cost Rule value is:

On the Driver Loans window, you can choose deduction codes by clicking Pick List in the appropriate field.

In the Select Driver Deduction Code window, new columns display a code’s contract ID and/or currency.

TruckMate now provides features to make it easier for you to use rules in which drivers are paid a percentage of revenue for each freight bill.

The TCG LTL/Traffic Costing Info > Linehaul Dispatch Data - DISPATCH subtype (DISPATCH.CSV) currently exports data for all leg(s) on linehaul trips (including empty legs) with trip status changes occurring within the selected date range.

The freight bill count on linehaul trip legs, along with the summary of the actual bills' weight, etc. is calculated regardless of the resource the freight is being hauled on, and the results are all in relation to Trailer1, even though there could be more than one trailer on the trip.

Now, customers can request customization for calculating values in trailer-related fields.

Previously, the TCL LTL/Traffic Costing Info > Actual P&D Trips - ALL subtype exported data with incorrect terminal times. In some cases, the departure terminal may not be the first point of departure for the trip, and/or the arrival terminal may not be the final destination.

Now, customers can export stop time based on the trip instead of the individual stop.

You can now edit resource types and IDs for records that were imported into TruckMate from TMT Fleet Maintenance.

If users log into TruckMate via single sign-on and the original authentication method fails, they can now specify Synergize Web Service credentials manually in Codes Maintenance by going to Imaging > Workflow > Server and entering data in the Server Credentials section.

If users do not use single sign-on to log into TruckMate, these fields are optional.

New Contact Name, Contact Phone, and Country Code columns now exist on the Dang. Goods tab.

A new View Data button is available that, when clicked, opens the View Output Data window.

In this window, you can now print an individual form.

The TMW Cloud Imaging option has been removed from the Add Service menu.
