M.SecureTrade News Report - Foreign trade updates March 2024

M.Line News Report - Foreign trade updates March 2024 The latest updates to Mercoline's SAP add-ons for transport logistics and foreign trade ensure that our customers are regularly provided with important updates and additions to keep them up to date and take account of relevant process updates. In this article, we show what we have already delivered for our customers in recent months and which topics we will continue with. Foreign trade updates Since the beginning of December, customers of M.SecureTrade ATLAS have been able to rely on the current release 2311 to take into account the changes resulting from the IHB update of customs to AES 3.0.7 in their export processes. Improvements in reporting and improved monitoring in the event of failed code list updates have also been provided as part of this process. Under S/4HANA, it is now also possible to take into account default values for the commodity code that differ from the material master in the ATLAS document system.

Transport logistics updates in the first half of 2024

The digitalisation of transport logistics will progress even further in 2024. The new year will see important projects for shippers who use DHL Express, UPS or FedEx with M.TransportCommunicator or M.ShippingRates:  FedEx and UPS have announced major API modernisations that will be supported with updates to M.ShippingRates and M.TransportCommunicator in early March 2024. Due to the mandatory changes that FedEx and UPS are introducing, shippers must implement important interface updates by June 2024 to ensure uninterrupted shipping. The focus of the interface updates is to further increase the cyber security of the transport service provider backends. Mercoline will support you in this project with targeted implementation support and the appropriate software. There will also be two webinars specifically for the UPS migration in January 2024.
