🚀 Summary​

This release delivers the first phase of the DHL EU to UK Customs Integration project. A CN23 is a customs declaration document used for international postal shipments. This release introduces the foundational functionality required to identify DHL cross-border routes, determine when CN23 documentation is required, automatically trigger CN23 generation, and make generated CN23 documents available within RMS.

These changes form part of the wider DHL EU to UK customs solution. Additional functionality required to support the complete end-to-end process will be delivered in a future release.

---

✨ What is New​

• 🆕 DHL Cross-Border Route Configuration

A new DHL-specific feature switch has been introduced to support CN23 customs processing for cross-border routes. When enabled, RMS Managers can configure DHL routes as Cross Border Routes and specify whether CN23 documentation is required.

• 🆕 Automated CN23 Processing

RMS can now determine when a CN23 customs declaration is required and automatically trigger CN23 generation when an eligible manifest is closed.

• 🆕 CN23 Document Access

Generated CN23 documents can now be accessed directly from RMS. Operators can view, download and print CN23 customs documentation using the same familiar workflow already used for downloadable shipping documents.

---

📘 How it Works​

DHL Cross-Border Route Configuration

A new feature switch called DHL Customs CN23 Integration has been added to RMS Features. Once enabled:

• A Customs tab becomes available within Mapping.
• Routes can be configured as Cross Border Routes.
• Routes can be marked as CN23 Required.
• Configuration is stored against the route mapping and used during manifest processing.

When the feature is disabled, existing RMS behaviour remains unchanged.

Automated CN23 Processing

When an operator closes a manifest, RMS:

• Evaluates whether the Customs CN23 Integration is enabled.
• Evaluates the configured route mapping.
• Identifies whether the route is configured as a Cross Border Route.
• Checks whether CN23 processing is required.

When all conditions are met:

• RMS identifies the manifest as requiring CN23 processing.
• Sends a single request for carrier label and CN23 generation.
• Passes the shipment and customs data required for carrier label and CN23 generation.
• The generated carrier label and CN23 document are returned and stored against the manifest.

CN23 Document Access

Once CN23 generation has completed successfully:

• Operators can access the document from the Manifest Details page.
• A new CN23 option is available within the Download Labels menu.
• Selecting the option opens the stored CN23 document in a new browser tab.
• The document can then be viewed, downloaded or printed using standard browser functionality.

🚀 Summary​

This release introduces enhanced manifest processing behaviour, easier access to support resources directly from RMS, and improvements to the Manifest Grid experience when working with larger datasets. These changes help provide a more consistent, efficient, and user-friendly experience for RMS users. They form part of the wider DHL EU to UK customs solution. Additional functionality required to support the complete end-to-end process will be delivered in a future release.

---

✨ What is New​

• 🆕 Manifest Details – Applied background processing and locking behaviour to single manifest updates

Updates made from the Manifest Details page now follow the same background processing behaviour as updates made from the Manifest List page. While an update is being processed, the manifest is temporarily locked to prevent conflicting changes. Users can continue to view the manifest and navigate elsewhere in RMS while processing completes. This provides a more consistent experience across manifest management.

• 🆕 Manifests – Fixed Selection on Manifest Grid

The selection checkbox column on the Manifest list page now remains visible when horizontally scrolling. Selected records remain clearly visible regardless of the scroll position. This improves usability when working with large datasets and wide grids.

• 🆕 Added Support links to RMS Navigation menu

We’ve introduced a new Support section within the RMS navigation menu. It provides quick access to:

• User Guides
• Release Notes
• Zigzag Status Page

Resources open in a separate browser tab, allowing users to continue working in RMS while accessing support information. This improves self-service access to documentation, release information, and platform status updates.

🚀 Summary​

This release introduces the first version of the CS Return V2 experience, delivering a more streamlined return creation process for Customer Service teams.

We've also enhanced User Management with new permission management capabilities, introduced Retailer Hub Settings for White Labels and internal configuration, and delivered several improvements, performance optimizations and technical upgrades.

🚀 Summary​

This release increases the number of manifests that can be viewed and updated at once, enabling more efficient bulk actions. It also introduces background processing to ensure larger updates run smoothly, along with improvements to grading workflows to help ensure required photo evidence is completed.

---

✨ What is New​

• 🆕 Mass Manifest Updates with Background Processing

The manifest list now shows more records per page, allowing users to select and update up to 50 manifests at once.

As each manifest can contain a large number of items, updating multiple manifests together can result in very high volumes of updates behind the scenes. To support this, large updates are now processed in the background, ensuring they run efficiently without interrupting other work.

This means you can start an update (such as assigning a carrier or updating status) and continue working while it completes.

• 🆕 Visual Indicators for Missing Photo Evidence

A new visual indicator helps highlight items that do not meet the minimum required number of photos during grading.

---

📘 How it Works​

Mass Manifest Updates with Background Processing

• You can update more manifests in a single action (up to 50).
• More records are now visible per page, reducing the need to navigate between pages.
• Large updates are processed in the background, so you can continue working without waiting.
• Manifests being updated are temporarily locked to prevent conflicting changes.
• You will see visual indicators when updates are in progress.
• Once complete, you will be informed whether the update succeeded or failed.
• If some items in a large update fail, the remaining items will continue to be processed.

Visual Indicators for Missing Photo Evidence

• Items missing required photos display a “!” indicator over the camera icon in the Actions column for each item.
• A tooltip explains the issue: "Minimum photo requirement not met."
• The indicator automatically updates as images are added or removed.
• Completed requirements are shown in the Actions column with a green indicator on the camera icon, including a count of images captured.

🚀 Summary​

This release introduces end-to-end photo evidence capabilities within grading workflows, enabling warehouse teams to capture, upload, and manage images for returned items during processing using handheld devices. Key updates include a guided photo capture experience, support for manual image upload, improved product traceability through the introduction of a 10-character product identifier in reporting, and an update to scheduled reporting to prevent empty reports from being sent to SFTP.

---

✨ What is New​

• 🆕 Photo Evidence Capture for Grading Workflows
  RMS now supports end-to-end photo evidence capture within grading workflows, enabling warehouse teams to capture and manage images for returned items during processing. Operators can connect a mobile device via a QR code to follow a guided image capture process, or upload images manually where required. The number of images captured can be configured per grade, with all images stored against the relevant item for future reference. This provides greater visibility of item condition, supports a consistent warehouse process, and helps with fraud investigations, customer disputes, and claims handling.

• 🆕 Product Identification – Product Identifier
  A 10-character product identifier is now available in reporting exports, providing a standardised way to identify and track products across systems. Available across Products, Parcels, Manifests, and Master Manifest reports, the identifier can be added to report templates to improve product traceability and support downstream integrations that require a consistent product reference.

• 🆕 Grading - Item Level Outcomes
  RMS now provides more detailed and timely grading updates by sending item-level outcomes when items are graded or re-graded. This enhancement enables each item within a return to be processed individually, improving accuracy and supporting more flexible downstream decision-making.

Improvements

• 🔧 Scheduled Report Improvement - Reports will now only be sent to SFTP when data is available, helping to reduce unnecessary file transfers and making report deliveries more relevant and easier to manage.

🚀 Summary​

This release introduces improvements across parcel tracking, customs compliance, and grading capabilities within the Returns Management System. Key updates include the introduction of the Checked In parcel status to provide clearer visibility of warehouse receipt events, alignment with HMRC exchange rates to support compliant customs processing, and enhanced grading capabilities through item-level outcomes and default product labelling. The release also includes operational improvements to support more efficient day-to-day workflows, alongside foundational work to support future photo evidence capture functionality.

---

✨ What is New​

• 🆕 New parcel status - Checked In
  RMS now introduces a new Checked In parcel status to clearly indicate when a parcel has been physically received and confirmed at the warehouse. This provides a consistent warehouse receipt milestone, improving operational visibility, reporting, and support for downstream processes such as fraud and loss investigations. The new status is used across all parcel workflows and is available in parcel filtering, reporting, and exports, while historical parcels will continue to display their original Received status.
• 🆕 Customs - HMRC Exchange Rates for UK Customs Documents
  The official HMRC monthly exchange rates are now used when generating customs documentation for DE to UK shipments. During document generation, RMS automatically retrieves the relevant HMRC exchange rate and applies currency conversions where required, ensuring customs values are calculated using the correct rates across import declarations, export declarations, and customs invoices. This improves compliance and consistency for customs valuation calculations.
• 🆕 Grading - Item Level Outcomes
  RMS now provides more detailed and timely grading updates by sending item-level outcomes when items are graded or re-graded. This enhancement enables each item within a return to be processed individually, improving accuracy and supporting more flexible downstream decision-making.
• 🆕 Grading - Default Product Label Template
  A new default ZigZag product label template is available for customers who do not have a custom product label configured. The standard label ensures returned items arrive with consistent, scannable product information, helping retailer warehouse teams quickly identify and process items upon receipt.
• 🆕 Photo Evidence - Foundations
  RMS now introduces the initial foundations to support photo evidence capture within grading workflows.

Improvements:

• 🔧 Operational improvements: A new Carrier filter has been added to the manifest list, making it easier to find shipments associated with a specific carrier

• This applies across all workflows - Over-labelling, Consolidation,Grade & Consolidation,Manual parcel creation
• The Confirm action remains unchanged for users.
• Checked In is now the standard status displayed throughout RMS
  Reporting and filtering
• User can filter using Checked In, which includes:

• Applies to DE to UK customs flows.
• Supports improved compliance and consistency for customs valuation calculations.
• Future enhancements may include storing and auditing the exchange rate used during document generation.

Item Level Outcomes

• When an item is graded in RMS, the outcome is mapped to a predefined action (e.g. Accepted, Resell, Rejected), based on configuration defined per customer.
• If configured, RMS sends updates for each individual item to downstream systems.
• Updates are triggered when an item is graded and when an item is re-graded (if the outcome changes).
• A short delay is applied to ensure only the latest grading decision is shared.
• Each item is processed independently, allowing different items within the same return to have different outcomes while enabling downstream systems to act on each item separately.
• If no action is mapped to a grade, no update is sent.
• Expose item-level outcomes (actions).

Default Product Label Template

• A default product label template is automatically available for customers without a custom label configured.
• Labels are generated as part of the existing grading workflow and sent with the item.
• The default label include key product information such as Product name, SKU,Size, Retailer, Product barcode.
• Barcode scanning enables faster product identification of returned items in retailer warehouses reducing manual entry and operational errors. It also helps downstream recipients identify products more accurately.
