Release Notes — September 5th, 2018
APIs
We’ve added an external ID field to orders, legs, manifests, customers, and carriers so that you can easily integrate other applications with Rose Rocket. This field can be used to store the integrating system’s identifier for that object. For example, if your Warehouse Management System has an order ID of W457 and Rose Rocket has CAR1-ONE-567, then you should store W457 in the external ID field.
There’s a new API capability to read, upload and replace documents on legs and orders. If you upload documents of a specific type, such as Bill of Lading, you can replace the default RR-generated documents.
All the details can be found here.
Accounting
Many of you said that you liked how you could navigate from the Accounting module to specific manifests when processing driver or carrier pay. So, we duplicated this functionality for orders.
From the accounting module, click on the order ID hyperlink, review the order, then create an invoice by clicking on the “Create Invoice” button at the top of the screen.

Manifest
Recording partner carrier reference numbers makes it easier to communicate and track shipments that are moving through another carrier’s network. We have added a “carrier reference number” field in the manifest details page that allows you to put a carrier’s reference number against the manifest. Note, for the moment, the purpose of this field is to record a reference number for the entire manifest not individual shipments.
Toggle the manifest type from ‘driver’ to ‘carrier’. A field will appear under the manifest ‘start time’. Click on the field and leave a carrier’s reference number. This field can be altered no matter what status the manifest is in.

Orders
We have added functionality that allows you to change the ‘requested delivery date and time’ of an order from the pick up or delivery leg of that order. Note that this only works if there is an appointment delivery accessorial against the order. If there isn’t, the leg will update, but it won’t be published to the order, which is what you are used to.
For example, let’s say you are assigning a delivery leg to a manifest and you recognize that you need to change the delivery appointment date and time. Click on the leg in the manifest details page to expand the stop, click on the three vertical dots inside the expanded view, select “Update Times”, change the times, and then check off the box at the bottom of the window before you commit the changes.

You can also make these changes from the order order que. Find the order, click on it, select the leg you want to make changes on, and just remember to check off the box to update the order times before you commit the changes.

Carriers
Not a major change, but we want to point it out so that no one is alarmed. In any carrier profile there was a tab called “Tariffs”. This is where you could find all of the tariffs that have been associated with that carrier. We simply changed the name of this tab to “Services”, it still has all of the same access and information you had before.

Planning
Not many knew this, because it wasn’t really obvious, but there are two search fields in the planning module. You can use these fields to quickly find manifests or legs that match your search criteria. We’ve changed the look of these fields so that you know they are there! Give them a try!
