  Batch Load Confirmation, New 9.2 Transportation Functionality

By Maria Marlow  
Size: 2.23 MB, Version:1, Publication Date:7/1/2021
New functionality for the Advanced Transportation Management System is always welcome, especially when users have been looking for the enhancement for literally years. But as Maria describes in detail, the enhancement for batch load confirmation is not quite what it needs to be yet as there is a flaw in the design. There is a possible workaround, but in this author's opinion, it isn't a realistic option. The good news is that there is a Bug ID associated with the enhancement and when it's released, hopefully soon, this new functionality will be very useful in order to expedite load confirmation.
