Handling Agent stop type for air flows
Air shipments often involve a third-party Handling Agent at a different building from the airport. As user you can now add a Handling Agent stop on the Sales Order (SO) and Transport Order (TO), with its own party and address, so that work at the agent is planned and tracked without merging it into the airport stop.
How To Use
How To Use
Open the SO and/or TO and go to the Stops section.
Add stop type Handling Agent and assign the Handling Agent party and address.
Place the stop in the sequence you need (typically before Airport of Origin and/or after Airport of Destination). Re-order is manual.
Track the three milestones on that stop: Arrival, Handling Agent (main activity), Departing.
The same stop type can be sent and updated via API and events. If the TO is linked to an SO that shares the stop, milestones set on the TO are also reflected on the SO.
Typical layouts:
Single TO: Collect → Handling Agent → Airport of Origin → Airport of Destination → Handling Agent → Deliver.
Split TOs: first-leg road to the origin Handling Agent, flight leg between Handling Agents and airports, last-leg road from the destination Handling Agent to delivery.
The Handling Agent activity milestone is not required to finish the TO. Rate calculation continues to treat the road portions around Handling Agent stops as road legs in a multimodal itinerary.
Hide internal Parts from Partner Portal
In default added Parts in master data were all offered in Partner Portal, as long you haven´t linked them especially to your Partner.
As user you can now mark a Part as Internal only so Partner Portal users do not see it in the Parts list and cannot select it when booking, while the Part stays fully usable in Control Tower and on master data integrations.
How To Use
How To Use
Open Master Data → Parts.
On the Part form, tick Internal only
Save. The Internal only column in the Parts grid shows which Parts are excluded.
Default is unchecked.
Force Ready for Reporting on Sales Orders
As customer you can now configure the same Force ready for reporting delay already used on Material Orders (MO) and Transport Orders, so eligible Sales Orders move to Ready for reporting automatically after a set number of days.
How To Use

ADR Exempt (< 1000 Points) on Transport Orders
For dangerous goods by road, the ADR 1,000-point rule decides whether a load still qualifies for lighter equipment and licence requirements. As user you can now record that exemption on the Transport Order so operations and partners see whether the load is below the 1,000-point threshold, without mixing it up with Limited Quantity (LQ) packaging rules.
How To Use
How To Use
Open the Transport Order.
Tick ADR Exempt (< 1000 Points) when the load is below the 1,000-point threshold.
Save. The same field can be set by integration
