Resolved issues

Case number	Feature affected	Release note
TTESUITE-206254	Invoicing	To allow for more customizability, the DocumentNumber used in the export to Microsoft Dynamics GP is now controlled by a SQL stored procedure ltl_greatplains_ap_docno.

In the future, should an LTL customer want the seal number to be optional on tendering empties, a GI setting would need to be added.
TTESUITE-207428	LTL Background Service	Resolved a very intermittent issue were manifesting an order would throw a primary key violation error.
