Rejection records are included in export even for invalid indent IDs or unassociated sources
Ensures UI count and export data remain consistent
Clear rejection reasons added such as “Invalid Indent ID” and “Pickup not Associated”
Prevents blank or missing records in export files
Invalid cases are logged and transparently reflected in export
Applies across Material Bulk, Material with Package, Material Invoice GRN Bulk, and Material Delete flows
Eliminates mismatch between UI and export data
Improves visibility into rejection reasons
Enhances user trust and experience
Simplifies debugging and operational tracking
Movement-Level Permissions for Split, Combine, and Edit in Optima
Optima permissions have been enhanced to support movement-level control for Split, Combine, and Edit actions, enabling more granular access configuration.
With this Enhancement:
Existing global permissions for Split, Combine, and Edit continue to work as before
New movement-level permissions introduced for Primary, Secondary, Vendor, and Return movements
If global permission is disabled, movement-specific permission can still enable the action
Applies consistently across Split, Combine, and Edit actions
Enables independent control of actions per movement type
Provides finer control over user actions in Optima
Supports movement-specific operational requirements
Reduces dependency on uniform role-based permissions
Improves flexibility and governance in order management
Optima Job ID Included in Export File Name
Export file naming has been enhanced to include the Optima Job ID, improving traceability and simplifying workflow tracking.
With this Enhancement:
Export file name now includes Optima Job ID
Follows format: JobID{optima_job_id}_{original_file_name}.{extension}
No changes to file content or export functionality
Eliminates need for manual Job ID tracking
Improves traceability of exported files
Accurate Transporter Selection Handling
Transporter selection in indent creation/re-indent page has been enhanced to correctly handle selection and deselection across paginated data, ensuring accurate counts and behavior.
With this Enhancement:
“Select All” now applies to all transporters across pages, not just the visible list
Selected count reflects total selections across all paginated data
Deselecting a transporter affects only that specific record
Prevents unintended deselection
Ensures accurate selection tracking
Improves usability for large transporter lists
Enhances reliability of bulk actions
Enhanced Invoice Listing Filters with Updated Date and Multi-Select Support
Invoice listing is enhanced to improve visibility of recent activity and enable more flexible filtering.
With this Enhancement:
New “Updated At” field added for latest activity tracking
“Invoice Date” renamed to “Date”
Listing sorted by “Updated At” where the latest update is shown first
Date filter supports Invoice Date and Updated Date with Invoice Date as default
Default view shows invoices from last 45 days based on Updated At with a customizable date range
Movement Type filter supports multi-select checkbox-based selection
Better visibility of recently updated invoices
Reduced risk of missing active invoices
Improved filtering and processing efficiency
Sequential MI Validation for Multi-Pickup Indents
Dispatch validation has been enhanced to support sequential Material Invoice validation for multi-pickup indents, aligning system behavior with real-world loading workflows across multiple depots.
With this Enhancement:
Validation now operates at the source or gate level instead of the entire indent.
Gate 1 truck-out is allowed when MI for Gate 1 is available.
MI for other pickup points is not required during Gate 1 dispatch.
Gate 2 truck-in is allowed after Gate 1 truck-out, even if MI is not yet available.
Gate 2 truck-out is allowed only after MI for Gate 2 is generated.
Why this Matters:
Aligns system validation with actual multi-depot loading workflows.
Prevent unnecessary dispatch blocks due to pending MIs at later pickup points.
Improves operational efficiency and vehicle movement.
Maintains MI compliance while enabling sequential processing.
PTL Indents – Material Count, Weight, and Volume Visibility for Transporters
PTL indent creation has been enhanced to capture and share key shipment details, enabling better visibility and vehicle planning for transporters
With this Enhancement:
New fields added in indent creation page for PTL Delivery type: Number of Materials, Weight & Volume can now be added for each indent
Values are captured and stored at the indent level
Same details are visible in the transporter portal for the respective indent
Why this Matters:
Improves shipment visibility for transporters
Reduces ambiguity in PTL shipment handling
Enhances overall operational efficiency
State-Level GST Configuration in Transporter Master
GST configuration in the Transporter Master has been enhanced to support line-level GST Type and GST Percentage, enabling accurate tax handling across multiple states.
With this Enhancement:
GST Type and GST Percentage are captured at the GSTIN line level instead of header level.
Users can configure FCM or RCM and GST % per state-wise GSTIN.
System derives GST Type and % based on the state-specific GSTIN during operations.
Configured values flow into downstream modules such as freight calculation and invoicing.
Existing GSTIN configuration and transporter records remain unaffected
Why this Matters:
Ensures accurate tax configuration across multiple operating states
Improves compliance with state-specific GST requirements
Enhances reliability of billing and freight calculations
Filler Load Optimization – Cost-Controlled Planning Logic
Filler load planning has been enhanced to ensure that cost efficiency is not compromised while improving vehicle utilization. The updated logic prevents unintended cost escalations and supports intelligent PTL to FTL conversions.
With this Enhancement:
Filler loads are added only if total transportation cost does not increase
System ensures no unnecessary truck size upgrades due to filler addition
Introduces cost-per-KG validation to evaluate planning decisions
Prevents scenarios where filler loads force higher-cost FTL recommendations
If filler load increases cost, system will plan non-filler load independently (e.g., via PTL)
Why this Matters:
Ensures optimal balance between utilization and cost efficiency
Supports smarter PTL vs FTL decision-making
Improves planning accuracy and aligns with real-world client scenarios
Range-Based Detention Configuration Enhancement
Detention charge configuration has been enhanced to support flexible, day range-based pricing, removing the previous limitation of configuring only up to 6 days.
With this Enhancement:
Users can configure detention charges using day ranges in source and destination charge master
Supports extended detention ranges beyond 9 days as per business needs
Priority is given to configured ranges in source and destination charge master; if not available, system falls back to detention master
System includes validations to prevent overlapping or invalid ranges
Existing detention configurations remain unaffected
Why this Matters:
Aligns with real-world detention pricing structures
Eliminates dependency on manual workarounds
Provides flexibility for complex and extended detention scenarios
Improves accuracy and scalability of detention charge management
Depot-Level Data Access Restriction In Dashboard
Depot users with access to dashboards were able to view data across all depots, including those they were not associated with.
What has changed:
For depot users enabled with dashboards, access control has been refined to ensure that depot users can now view data only for the depots they are mapped to.
Impact:
- Improved data security and access governance
- Ensures users only see relevant, authorized depot data
- Reduces risk of unintended data visibility
