External release notes – Grasshopper – Version 3.24.10

New Features

• Unattended Deliveries: Enhanced Automation
  • We’re excited to introduce new capabilities for our unattended delivery feature. This update streamlines the delivery process by removing the need for scheduling and agreeing on delivery windows with customers.
    • Automated Assignment: Unattended orders will now be automatically assigned to the next available delivery manifest as soon as they reach the “Ready to Be Shipped” (RTBS) status.
    • Efficient Resource Allocation: Instead of sending a scheduling email to customers, our system will now find and assign the next available delivery resource automatically, ensuring a faster and more seamless delivery experience.
• Shipper Dedicated Manifest: New Feature for Targeted Shipments
  • We’re introducing a new capability to streamline the assignment of orders to specific shippers with our Shipper Dedicated Manifest feature.
    • Dedicated Shipper Assignment: You can now mark a manifest as dedicated to a specific shipper. This ensures that only orders for the assigned shipper will be added to that manifest.
    • Order Assignment Control: While the planner is responsible for correctly assigning orders, the system will not block or warn if orders are assigned incorrectly to a dedicated manifest. It’s crucial to ensure accurate order assignment manually.
    • Manifest Creation: When creating a manifest, you can designate it for a specific shipper based on the new feature flag available in advanced settings and the shipper configuration page.
  • Limitations
    • Single Shipper Choice: Initially, the system supports only one dedicated shipper per manifest.
    • No Modifications: Once a manifest is created and marked as dedicated, it cannot be modified to add or remove the dedicated status.
    • Import Orders and Bulk Addition: Importing orders and bulk adding of manifests are not supported in this phase.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue: Payment Charges on Orders
  • Description: We’ve resolved an issue where an additional charge was erroneously appearing on the payments tab each time a shipper added an internal note to an order.
  • Problem: Users reported that entering an internal note on an order was causing an unintended additional charge to be displayed on the payments tab. Resolution: This bug has been fixed, and internal notes will no longer trigger any extra charges on the payments tab.
• Fixed issue: Photo Download on Orders
  • Description: We’ve addressed an issue related to downloading photos on orders.
  • Problem: When attempting to download photos from an order, clicking the download button would open a new window. Users were unable to close this window or return to the order, and an additional error message would appear. Resolution: This issue has been resolved. The download process now functions correctly, allowing you to download photos without encountering new window issues or error messages.
