Warnings
Forecaster Console update warning
As of V. 2018.3, the Forecaster Console in Inventory Services no longer uses Common Volumes to calculate order quantities. Now, it uses Trailer Compartments to maximize gallons and fit orders to specific trailer compartments. The V. 2018.3 update requires a simple setup process to forecast to trailer compartments. We have included a mass update tool in the ClientCenter download to ease this transition. Instructions on using the tool are provided in the Inventory Services 2018.3 release notes.
Social Security number encryption warning
Starting in version 2020.4, Social Security numbers you enter in the Driver profile are encrypted in the database by default.
Having encrypted Social Security numbers could interfere with third-party applications accessing the data. This happens because the data is encrypted when transferred. The third-party application would not have the ability to decrypt it.
You can set up the system so that the Social Security numbers you enter in the Driver profile are not encrypted in the database. To do so, set the DataEncryption General Info Table setting’s String1 field to N.
|
The Data Conversion Administration Utility allows you to encrypt/decrypt a group of Social Security numbers in your database. Contact your Professional Services representative to obtain the DataConversionAdministrationUtilityInstall.msi. Access and usage of The Data Conversion Administration Utility should only be provided to a system administrator. That utility provides access to all highly sensitive data and should only be used in the explicit instance of needing to encrypt or decrypt the driver profile. |
ALK warning
In very limited circumstances, your system could generate incorrect mileages when using PC*MILER version 32 with any of these products:
-
TMW Operations version 2018.2 or lower
-
TMW Back Office version 2018.2 or lower
-
Fuel Dispatch version 2018.2 or lower
-
TMWSuite version 2018.2.0.0275 or lower
This problem is associated only with systems that have one of these options set in their TTS50:
-
[MileageInterface]ExOptions[x]=I -
[MileageInterface]ExOptions[x]=X
Having either of these options set will cause Practical mileage to be computed as Shortest, and Shortest mileage to be computed as Practical.
This will not affect mileages previously retrieved and stored in the mileage table.
The issue is fixed in the next general release, such as 2018.3 for TMW Operations.
A temporary workaround to bypass the incorrect code is to do any of the following:
-
Use an additional ExOption in conjunction with the I or X option.
-
Remove the I or X option entirely.
-
Install an earlier version of PC*MILER.
Requirements
-
TMWSuite®
You must be using TMWSuite V. 2021.4. -
Microsoft® .NET Framework
Install or upgrade to the latest version of the Microsoft .NET Framework on your system. At a minimum, you should have V.4.6.2 installed.The framework must be installed on the FuelTMS applications server, client, and administrator systems before you install FuelTMS. If it is not present, the system displays an advisory message during the installation. Install the framework before running the application.
-
Microsoft® SQL Server®
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or laterNote: SQL Server 2014, SQL Server 2016, SQL Server 2017, and SQL Server 2019 are supported. Trimble Transportation recommends using the latest service pack of whichever version you use.
-
You must be logged into the system where you want to install the FuelTMS applications, and have administrator rights for that system.
Like most applications, FuelTMS applications can be installed locally on a user’s system. It is also possible to install FuelTMS applications on a network drive. To do so, you must be logged into the system where the drive is physically located, and have administrator rights for that system. -
SQL Server System Administrator rights are necessary.
The installation of FuelTMS applications includes the manual application of a SQL script to the TMWSuite database. You must have a SQL Server administrator login and password to apply it.
Enhancements
Auto Complete orders
Auto Complete Dispatched Orders with Tank Readings (TTESUITE-42115)
When you don’t get a driver’s or carrier’s confirmation that a delivery is completed right away:
-
Completed orders remain open.
-
You may get inaccurate inventory readings.
Now, if the system identifies an increase in a product’s tank, it can check for scheduled orders. If it matches the increase to an order volume, and the order status is Dispatched or Started, it auto-completes the order. It will also adjust the delivery time on the order to the actual time of delivery. An auto-completed order’s status is changed to Completed. It will not show in these windows after you refresh them:
-
Dispatch Dashboard
-
Forecast Order Review
-
Forecast Order Site Review
Cross Dump
Add double-click icon to open Call On Demand Order Entry (TTESUITE-200396)
When the system detects a possible cross dump situation an icon displays. When you hover over the icon it reads "Possible Cross Dump Situation". Now, you can double-click on the icon to open the order in Call on Demand Order Entry. This icon appears in the Forecast Order Review, Forecast Order Site Review and Dispatch Dashboard windows.
Resolved issues
Call On Demand Order Entry
-
TTESUITE-200588
There was a problem with orders for stores with manifolded tanks. If you changed the delivery quantity on one of the tanks to 0 (zero), the system replaced the 0 with that tank’s original quantity when you saved the order. This made the delivery total incorrect. -
TTESUITE-200607
Creating a split trip order in Card Planner and assigning the second segment of the order to the next day would cause these issues in Call on Demand Order Entry:-
Shift times on the order would be incorrect.
-
If you edited and saved the order, the shifts for the driver would be incorrect.
-
Card Planner
-
TTESUITE-200801
If you tried to assign an order to a driver already assigned to an order, you received an error. This happened when dragging an available order to the Assignment Plan pane.
