Enhancements

SystemsLink

Load requirement service (API-929)

You can create load criteria for companies and commodities using the new LoadRequirementDefault service.

Load criteria restrict the resources you can assign to an order based on conditions that must be met for the commodity, a company on the order, or the order itself. They can be requirements or preferences.

For instance, certain commodities may require a trailer with safety equipment.

Using the service, these criteria can be set for companies, commodities, or a company/commodity pair.

A SystemsLink RESTful version of this service is also available through the LoadRequirementDefaultendpoint.

2018.3.6.74

Enhancements

  • Expose the Stops IsPayable field (API-205, API-293)
    Expose the Stops IsPayable field in the DispatchHorizon service to indicate whether a given stop is included in the driver/tractor pay or not.

  • Dedicated TMW.Suite Operations Invoice and Pay Locks (API-387)

  • Create a "Get Closest City" method (API-432)
    A GetClosestCity method was created for the CityService of SystemsLink which takes a latitude and longitude to locate the nearest city. This method will be called by FleetConneX in the next FleetConneX release.

Resolved issues

  • API-5
    There are cases where hard error returns (try catch) may not close the thread properly. Address error-handling issues.

  • API-294
    In the ReferenceNumber service, the GetByReferenceNumber method may return errors if the reference-number row includes a null order header number or reference sequence or reference type.
