IMPROVEMENT

Traffic Form Selection Interface**
When creating a traffic form (e.g. a Sampling or Delivery Order) from a location screen, you’ll now see a new interface for selecting the traffic form type. CATS will auto-select an appropriate type based on the state of the location screen.

NEW

Open Entry Traffic Form**
CATS has a new traffic form type “Open Entry” to provide custom “letter-style” documents alongside container-level information. Combined with an expansion of the traffic form templates that enable the use of tokenized terms to inject information from the purchase and sale contracts directly into the note.

Pre-Payment Invoice Type**
CATS now offers support for creating “pre-payment” invoices that do not immediately affect your inventory position. This is useful when working with customers that you do not wish to extend credit to.

IMPROVEMENT

More Flexible Select Inventory**
Users can now use the full traffic filter interface to find and select material for purchase and sale invoices.
