Here's what's new on the platform!

November 2024

UPDATE: The change described below will not be implemented at this time. We recommend that you continue to use the REF*ZZ segment (which allows up to 50 characters) for line-item personalization. We will notify you in 2025 when a new effective date is available.

  • EDI specifications: A new MTX*COM segment has been created for line-item personalization that allows up to 4096 characters. For suppliers who use standard X12 mapping, you may choose to use the new MTXCOM segment instead of the REF*ZZ segment (which only allows up to 50 characters to meet the ANSI X12 standard) to take advantage of the full-length segment. Update your mapping as needed. See EDI for suppliers.

February 2022

  • Improved packing slips for partial shipments, allowing suppliers to easily edit line-item quantities before exporting packing slips. See Exporting packing slips to learn how to edit your packing slips.
  • Improved visibility to supplier warehouses to help retailers quickly search for, sort, and manage warehouses. See Retailer Warehouse Manager to learn more about the new filters.
  • Strengthened data security with the launch of Single Sign-On (SSO)! Be sure to log in to the platform with your unique email address instead of your username. See Logging in to the platform to learn more.
  • Enhanced template names to include category names, making it easier for suppliers to keep track of downloaded templates.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed: Retailers can now receive an export of cancel transactions, including orders cancelled while the export job is running.
  • Fixed: Users can now sort the list of trading partners on the Trading Partners page according to their filter selections.
  • Fixed: Suppliers can now use Automatic Invoicing to invoice orders that included multiple lines and were shipped in separate packages. 
  • Fixed: Retailers can now use decimals (for values to be greater than 0 but less than X) when setting up validations and Pipeline rules for shipments.
  • Fixed: Retailers can now be assured that a Pipeline rule will be triggered when a supplier uses the Bulk Update option on the Inventory page to change items to an Out-of-Stock status and does not include the required Estimated Availability Date.
  • Fixed: Retailers using API Version 3 can now receive a payload containing all relevant orders for the PO, even when the retailer splits the PO between two trading partners.
