Requirements

Before you begin installing LTL Operations Module version 2020.1, check that these requirements are met:

  • TMWSuite®

    You must be using TMWSuite V.2018.18_01.0192 or later.

  • Microsoft® .NET Framework

    NET Framework 4.6.2 or later (full package not client)

    The framework must be installed on the LTL Operations Module server, client, and administrator systems before you install LTL Operations Module. If it is not present, the system displays an advisory message during the installation. Install the framework before running the application.

  • Internet Information Services (IIS) for Microsoft® Windows Server®

    IIS Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 or later

  • Microsoft® SQL Server®

    Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or later

    Note: SQL Server 2014, SQL Server 2016, and SQL Server 2017 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 LTL Operations Module, and have administrator rights for that system.

    Like most applications, LTL Operations Module can be installed locally on a user’s system. It is also possible to install LTL Operations Module 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 LTL Operations Module 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

Rail drayage

Removing orders from completed stops (NSUITE-209449)

Orders where the container exited the rail yard, offloaded, loaded, and then returned to the rail yard, did not execute. This occurred because the manifest ID was assigned to a prior reservation. You can now use the Deassign button in the Order Window’s Routes tab to remove orders from completed stops. Additional modifications allow you to set the origin of the manifest to a pickup company.

Showing columns in terminal schedules

Viewing columns in schedule grids (NSUITE-209478)

When a grid has enough columns to show a horizontal scrollbar, a pop-up window opens allowing you to see all columns in one view. The pop-up window is now available in the Terminal Schedules and Schedule Legs grids.

Resolved issues

EDI

  • NSUITE-208248

    The EDI214 Early/Late calculation failed for Split stop scenarios.

Interoperability

  • NSUITE-208270

    Assets from a truckload delivery leg were pushed incorrectly to earlier truckload legs.

  • NSUITE-208272

    A truckload delivery (with HCT) done by LTL, changed the driver on the pickup leg.

  • NSUITE-208283

    When the LTL order with the UNKNOWN company code was completed, the stop times and completion statuses were not updated into TMW Operations. This only occurred when the LTL order, with the UNKNOWN company code, was part of a truckload leg with multiple stops. If a truckload leg was completed in LTL with only one UNKNOWN company code stop, the information updated correctly.

  • NSUITE-208284

    When the Drop Crossdock stop was completed (last stop in the leg) the corresponding truckload stop statuses/times were not updated.

  • NSUITE 208325

    A trailer sync issue occurred for an HMT/DMT and HPL/DLT truckload scenario.

  • NSUITE-208336

    When a truckload leg with two stops (HLT/DLT) was completed in LTL, the assets used on the prior leg were overwritten by the LTL assets.

  • NSUITE-208341

    When LTL handles the Linehaul leg of a truckload trip, the Final truckload stop did not get set to complete when the corresponding LTL stop was completed.

Manifest

  • NSUITE-208345

    Creating a TMW Operations/LTL Manifest failed without a helpful error message. This occurred when multiple LTL orders were created for a single Truckload Trip, but one of the orders could not be saved.

Miscellaneous

  • NSUITE-205334

    When you assigned a Bill To on an index for a line item on a carrier charge, the system did not apply the line item to the charge. You had to remove the Bill To restriction for the line item to process.

  • NSUITE-208281

    When attempting to process a master bill (with additional invoices) to TMW Imaging, the invoice queue failed to transfer the.ps files to the managing system for processing.

  • NSUITE-208471

    Persistent DateTime values existed in DAL objects. This caused the accrual_date of Brokerage legs to be set incorrectly by the LTL EDI Service.

  • NSUITE-209448

    The Assign Rail reservation validity check did not take into account a parent/child terminal relationship when you made a rail reservation assignment.

  • NSUITE-209459

    The mileage rating process failed when using a Pass Through State Tariff.

  • NSUITE-209551

    The Route Id dropdown list in the Terminal Schedules window showed routes from all terminals. The list should only show values for the current terminal.

Mobile

  • NSUITE-209406

    LTL Mobile Comm was issuing warning messages for many different types of events, including those that were informational only. A warning or error message should only show to identify a problem.

  • NSUITE-209436

    Modified LTL Mobile to truncate and correctly handle State codes that are more than three characters.

Routing Administration

  • NSUITE-208340

    The LTL Routing Administration drop-down menu could not be set up as part of a window layout design. The setup allows administrators to determine which users or user groups have access to edit or view the menu.
