4.13.01.14 - Postal Package Partner - Public Release 6/07/11  11:30 am
   
Internal/Programming Enhancement Applied Mandatory Postage Statement Changes
This update includes USPS Mandatory Postage Statement Changes.
   
User-Requested Enhancement/Feature  NEW “Alt View” Option On Print Labels Tab:
As a result of Customer Requests, we have added a New “Alt View” Option on the Print Labels Tab.  This exciting new feature gives you the ability to configure which columns to display on the Print Labels Tab and in what order!  With the flexibility to customize the Print Labels Tab you can make editing your packages more efficient.  There is now a new button labeled “Alt View” towards the bottom center of the screen.  After clicking this button you can define your views by clicking on the “Define Views” button on the bottom right of the screen.  Now you can create views customized to your shipping operation and save them for future use!
   
User-Requested Enhancement/Feature Added Ability To Export New “Carrier” Field:
In response to Customer Feedback, we've added the ability to export a New Carrier Export Field.  This will be valuable for users who are exporting their PPP Data and integrating it into a Shipping Database that includes multiple carriers (i.e.  FedEx, UPS, etc).  The new feature lets you export a carrier field indicating whether the item was mailed via “USPS”, “UPS Mail Innovations” or “FedEx SmartPost”.
   
User-Requested Enhancement/Feature Added NEW “Do Not Take Barcoded Discount On Package Services” Option:
We have added a new “Do Not Take Barcoded Discount On Package Services” Option on the Advanced Settings Tab in the Mailer Configuration.  PPP automatically prints the barcode on labels so that if you have enough volume in the mailing to qualify for the discount, the discount is automatically calculated on the USPS Manifest Paperwork.  However, we are getting more customers who simply use PPP to generate the Delivery Confirmation Tracking Number and send the Electronic File to the USPS Product Tracking System (so they are not printing labels in PPP and not generating the barcode on their customized packaging).  This New option gives the user the ability to generate accurate USPS Manifest Paperwork if not eligible for the Barcode Discount!
   
   
4.13.01.02 - Postal Package Partner - Public Release 3/31/11  2:00 pm
   
Internal/Programming Enhancement Applied Mandatory Rate and Postage Statement Changes -- Effective April 17, 2011
This update includes USPS Mandatory Rate and Postage Statement Changes effective April 17, 2011.  The Rates are automatic, based on the Date of Mailing you create your packages on.  If you enter a package dated prior to April 17th, you will get the current rates.  If you enter a package dated on or after April 17th, you will get the New Rates and Postage Statements.
   
User-Requested Enhancement/Feature New “Always Insert Record” Option For ODBC Export:
As a result of Customer Requests, we have added a new “Always Insert Record" Option for ODBC Export Users.  With this option enabled, PPP creates a New Record in the ODBC Source for every record -- which gives the ability to have Multiple Tracking Numbers for the same Order Number!  When this option remains unchecked, the ODBC Export will work as before:  PPP will check in the ODBC Database for a matching Order Number and update the record with the Tracking Information.  If there is no matching Order Number, a New Record will be inserted.
   
User-Requested Enhancement/Feature New “Void Indicator” Field added to ODBC Export Mappings:
In response to customer feedback, we have added a new "Void Indicator" Field to the ODBC Export Mappings.  This gives ODBC Export users the ability to monitor packages which have been voided. When a record is voided from the “Print Labels” Tab in Daily Shipping, PPP will send a “Y” Value to the Field mapped in the ODBC Export Settings.
   
User-Requested Enhancement/Feature

New Automated Features For Multi-Manifest Users Using Import Agent:
An exciting new feature for Multi-Manifest Module users using the Import Agent.  There are now two new options in the Import Agent Settings Tab (when the Multi-Manifest Option is enabled):  "Auto Create Manifest Records" and "Automatically Write Tracking Information".  Previously, when Multi-Manifest users imported files using the Import Agent, they would be prompted to create and/or enter a manifest number.   With this new automated feature, PPP will automatically create a Manifest, based on the Client Code that is mapped in the Import File. 

NOTE: This requires the user to add a New “Client Code” Field in their file and map it in the Import Template.  In addition, users can automatically write the Tracking Information to the ODBC Export Source with the same matching Client Code - which enables the ODBC Export to write to two different Databases at the same time!

   
   

 

4.12.01.05 - Public Release                                                                            1/13/11  5:45 pm
  Internal/Programming Enhancement

New January 2011 Prices and Forms
Postal Package Partner version 4.12.01.02 includes new January 2011 Prices and Statements.  The Rate and Statement choices are automatic, based on the statement Mail Date you enter.  Enter a statement Mail Date on or after January 2, 2011 to get the new rates with new statement formats (where applicable). Enter a statement date prior to January 2, 2011 to get the current rates and forms.

 User-Requested Enhancement/Feature Mandatory Statement Changes
This update includes USPS Mandatory Postage Statement Changes.
 User-Requested Enhancement/Feature UNC Path Support (For Installations)
As a result of Customer Requests, we have added UNC Path Support in our Installation and Program Updates.  This enables users to point their Data Directories to a UNC Path, instead of requiring a mapped drive.
 User-Requested Enhancement/Feature Commercial Invoices For International Mail
An exciting New Feature added to increase the productivity of International Mailers. The added functionality gives users the ability to print the Commercial Invoices required for International Mailings within PPP.  Simply check the “Print Commercial Invoice” Checkbox at the bottom of the window where the Customs Information is entered.  The Commercial Invoice will then print at the same time as the Customs Form.
 User-Requested Enhancement/Feature New USPS Track and Confirm Report
In response to Customer Requests, we have added a “USPS Track and Confirm Report”.  This report prints in a similar way to the Delivery Confirmation Report that Users can print from the USPS’s Tracking Website.  This report should increase the efficiency for any user who needs individual Proof of Delivery Reports for a Batch of Records.  This report can be accessed by going to Reports => Shipping Reports => USPS Track and Confirm (and entering a date range).  It can also be printed for individual packages from the View Package History Area by clicking on the new “USPS Track & Confirm Report” Button at the bottom of the screen.
 User-Requested Enhancement/Feature Priority Mail Open and Distribute Commercial Rate Type Option
We have added a New PMOD Commercial Rate Type Option on the Manifesting Tab in Mailer Configuration.  This option gives the user the ability to use a different Rate (Commercial or Commercial Plus) for their PMOD Items than their “regular” Priority Mail packages.  There are now two separate Rate Field Types at the bottom of the Manifesting Tab in Mailer Configuration - one for “Priority Commercial Rate Type” and one for “PMOD Commercial Rate Type”.
 Internal/Programming Enhancement

NOTE:  wbNPS has been removed and replaced by IPS which is installed with the program.

Internal/Programming Enhancement Mandatory Rate Update - Includes new Express Mail and Priority Mail Rates as of January 4, 2010.  The Postage Prices are determined by the Date of Mailing on which you create your packages.  For any date prior to January 4th, the current prices will be calculated automatically.  If you create a package with a mailing date after January 4th, the New Postage Prices will automatically be calculated.
User-Requested Enhancement/Feature Added Ability to Map Shipping Date When Importing Data - This New Feature is particularly useful for anyone using the Import Agent since the date the items are imported into can be controlled via the Import File.
User-Requested Enhancement/Feature Implemented Laser Substrates Forms for Registered Electronic Return Receipt - New Feature added to increase the efficiency for anyone utilizing the USPS Registered Electronic Return Receipt Service.  By using the Laser Substrates Forms, you can create items without scanning the Green barcode on the USPS Registered Return Receipt Forms.  As a result, Return Receipt mailings can be printed in Batch Mode without applying a separate USPS Green Form.   (Please contact us if you are interested in implementing this Feature).
User-Requested Enhancement/Feature Added Ability to Export In-Home Delivery Date (for PMOD) - In response to Customer Requests, we have added the ability to Export the In-Home Delivery Date for Priority Mail Open and Distribute Users.

Window Book is pleased to announce that our MAC GOLD Certification for Postal Package Partner has been renewed.  There have been some Mandatory Manifest and Postage Statement changes as a result of the certification changes.
User-Requested Enhancement/Feature Map the Processing Category in ODBC Import and ODBC Export
We have added the ability to map the Processing Category in ODBC Import and ODBC Export. Useful for Shippers as they will no longer need to select the Processing Category for every package mailed – It will populate the field automatically!
User-Requested Enhancement/Feature Support Multiple ODBC Databases
PPP now supports multiple ODBC Databases! You can now setup multiple ODBC Setups in Mailer Configuration. Then you can easily switch back and forth between the databases on the Daily Shipping Screen by clicking on the Down-Arrow next to the "Addressee Number" Field.
User-Requested Enhancement/Feature Support for a Secondary Label Printer
PPP now supports two Label Printers! This is an enormously useful feature for Shippers who need to use more than one label stock.  For example, you can now use a smaller label for items that do not have Delivery Confirmation or a different type of label for a different Class of Mail.
User-Requested Enhancement/Feature Ability to Save Exported Data in Excel Format
In response to Customer Requests, we have added the ability to save exported Data in Excel Format.  Simply choose “Excel” in the “Template Type” Field when creating a New Export Template.
User-Requested Enhancement/Feature Change Font Used for Custom Reference Fields on Labels
You can now change the Font used for Custom Reference Fields on Labels!  Simply enable Print Preview in Mailer Configuration, print a label and click on the “Select Label Font” Button.  (Print Preview can be disabled once you are satisfied with the Font).
User-Requested Enhancement/Feature Priority Mail Open and Distribute Enhancements
Enhancements to the Priority Mail Open and Distribute Module: First, the ability to export the In-Home Delivery Date.  Second, the ability for PPP to Automatically Update Destination Data (SCF, NDC and DDU Listings).  This ensures that you are using the latest USPS Data and that your Priority Mail Open and Distribute items are sent to the correct location.  Install the WB Scheduler on your system to implement this feature.
Destination Database Updated IMPORTANT NOTE TO ALL ODBC USERS: If you are updating from version 4.10.01.04 or lower, you will be required to re-enter your ODBC Setups. We highly recommend that you take a Screen Shot of your ODBC Mappings before updating the program.
