;359675; MCS Display Product Type & Vehicle
The MCS UI has been changed to be configurable as to what information can be displayed in various screens:
* Pallet Building can be configured as to whether product type, commodity code and hazardous status.
* Receipt and despatch item lists may now be configured to display the product type, commodity code and hazardous status against the scannable items, and will always display the trip ID and vehicle at the top of the screen. The screen can also be configured to display the C-TMS DU type instead of the default "PACKAGE" for individual items (i.e. packages, non-palletised).
 
 
;359671; Pallet Closure and Pallet Building changes.
MCS has been changed to add functionality to pallet building:
* A Pallet Closure function has been added, accessible from the menu for locations that are configured to have this functionality. This allows the users to close a pallet that has been built at that location. This process can also be configured to require the users to enter a seal number when closing the pallet, which is stored in the AWB/Consignment number fields.
* New pallet building criteria has been added that allows the location to be configured to build pallets based on:
** "By Final ROC" - pallets can only contain packages that are planned to be delivered from the same final delivery depot.
** "By Final ROC Trip" - pallets can only contain packages that are planned onto the same final delivery trip.
** Existing functionality is still supported as the default option of "To Next RDC"
* Suggested pallets for pallet building now takes into account the pallet building criteria.
* Creating a new pallet at pallet building can now be through entry of a pre-printed pallet ID label.
Additionally, the following functionality can also be configured:
* Control specific actions when MCS functionality is completed at TENDERED status rather than at ACCEPTED status.
* Prevent prompts for AWB/Consignment number through out the product.
 
 
;359674; Trans Ship functionality.
MCS has been modified to support trans-ship functionality when receiving at configured locations:
* If the pallet or package has been planned on a despatching trip from this configured location, the process will display the trip details (including assigned resources), confirming through entry of the vehicle.
* Pallets and packages that have been trans-shipped will be marked as received ''and'' despatched in C-TMS.
* Packages and packages on pallets that have been trans-shipped can still be seen on the MCS Despatch screen as Loaded items.
* {{Note}} Packages that have not been planned out of this location, or pallets where all packages have not been planned out this location on the same trip cannot be trans-shipped - the system will inform the user and these packages must be manually scanned for despatch.
* {{Note}} Enabling this functionality means that receipt at the location can no longer be run without an internet connection.
