Week of October 16

​
New features

  • Shipment containers in the API. Read containers through /shipment-containers and filter by containerNumber or shipmentId. Container number matching ignores spaces, punctuation, and case, and also matches numbers your forwarder replaced. Shipment cartons now include shipmentContainerId, palletNumber, and orderIds, and you can filter cartons by shipmentContainerId. These fields are available when container tracking is enabled for your brand. See Lookup filters.
  • Payment term name on orders. Order details now include paymentTermName, the term copied onto the purchase order. It stays accurate even if the source payment term template changes or is deleted. This field is available through REST and MCP.
  • PO Overview redesign. The PO Overview now shows an Amber brief, a Needs action list where you resolve integration issues in place, a Progress section with received units, and a landed cost summary.
  • Order Log saved views. Save category views on the Order Log.
  • Containers sheet in shipment bulk import. Shipment bulk import and download now include a CONTAINERS sheet.
  • Customs entries from CBP 7501s. Amber reads CBP 7501 forms from any channel into customs entries. You can re-extract a 7501 from its document row menu.
  • Shipments from forwarder emails. Amber creates shipments from forwarder bills of lading, air waybills, and arrival notices, and updates booking and shipment dates from forwarder emails.
  • Materials. Organize materials in a category tree with followers and category-scoped custom fields. Materials also support free-form options with swatches and their own dimensions.
  • BOM colorway matrix. Pick a material option, supplier, or SKU for each product option in the BOM.
  • Invoice controls. Keep or hold invoices, and approve shipped or received bill quantities.
  • NetSuite. Configure a default A/P account, and reconcile NetSuite payments without duplicates.
  • What’s New. A What’s New card and release tour show you recent changes in the app.

​
Updates

  • Compressed API responses. The API compresses responses with zstd when your client sends Accept-Encoding: zstd, and falls back to gzip otherwise.
  • External IDs. POs, shipments, and payments show External ID columns. Payment detail also shows the reference and notes.
  • Payments. A receipt is now optional when you mark a payment as paid.
  • Shipments. Comment from the shipment side drawer, and edit shipment custom fields from the detail page.
  • Tables. Row height and parent/option controls are now in the table toolbar.
  • Headquarters address. Mark one brand address as your headquarters for suppliers.
  • Schedules. Admins can see every teammate’s schedule.
  • Slack. Connect Slack once to use it across Amber.

​
Bug fixes

  • Users without settings edit access can now connect their own mailbox.
  • Email ingestion reads every attachment in full and retries failed classifications.
  • The dashboard no longer counts stale bookings as due this week.
  • Product search matches full SKU codes.
  • Clearing an option’s custom multi-select field keeps it empty.
  • Bulk import accepts bedding sizes and matches full category paths.
  • The materials partner picker no longer returns an error.
  • Saved partner short names now appear in the table.
  • Document review links are hidden when you can’t see the paired document.
