Release Notes
04/01/2007
Following is a list of features added to current version Crown Freight Manager 5 in the update to Quarter 1 2007 Version 5.6. Included with the list of new features is a brief description of each.
- We have added a shipment change log to the shipment info screen and the shipment viewer. If any major changes to the shipment are done it will log the change. It will also keep a continuous log of the last edits and the entered info. All the logs are time-stamped with the user, date and time of the shipment change.
- In accordance to new TSA Regulations announced, we have added a SSE (Shipper Security Endorsement) check box for pickups. The check box appears on the pickup tab and the general tab on the pickup side of the Shipment Info Screen. The SSE Flag was added to the Dispatch Grid, PU Card and Driver Manifests printout. As new details regarding the SSE requirements are announced we may change the way this is used with the Crown Freight Manager software.
- We have increased the address contact field to 40 characters for both the shipper and consignee fields.
- Added the ability to enter just the dim weight without the dimensions and pieces. If the dim weight is higher than the actual weight it will use the dim weight still. This is useful if you know the cubic meters or cubic feet without the dimensions. This is also useful if you just want to enter the dimensional weight for many pieces at one time without entering the actual pieces and dimensions for each.
- We have made improvements to the way completion requirements are setup for the customer. Instead of having a completion requirement for each customer we have created a completion requirement profile system. Every customer is tied to a profile that is created and can be modified on the fly.
- Added an additional invoice sort option for (Move Type). In the Customer File>Options there is an option for setting the invoice sort order. The invoice will print in the order selected on a batch print session for all invoices.
- We have added a terminal restriction selector to employee logins. In the Employee/User Information screen on the general info tab set the terminal. Click on the security login tab and check the box for "Restrict to Terminal". The employee will now only be able to access shipments and reports for the selected terminal.
- Alternatively in Security Rights. We added the ability to only view assigned terminals Billing and Management Reports. If these options are selected the employee will only be able to view reports in the Billing and Maintenance Gallery for the assigned terminal. This can also be used as an alternative to the "Restrict to Terminal" selector in the employee setup. Since the option for restrict to terminal restricts everything to the assigned terminal. If you do not want to restrict everything but just the reports from being viewed for other terminals.
- We have added a comments field to line haul shipments. This will also print on line haul manifests.
- We added a Pivot Option to the mileage rate tables.
- We have added special tables for mileage tables. You can add a special table to calculate a mini or 1.35 per mile for example.
- We have added an invoice notes box to the billing screen. These notes are time-stamped with the username, date and time entered.
- We have added the ability to download both EDI Points and License files directly to Crown. EDI Transaction Points can be downloaded by click on the Help menu and selecting, "Retrieve EDI Points". New License files can be downloaded by clicking on File>Company Setup>Registration. Select option to download license file from the internet.
