# Changelog

> New features, updates, and fixes to Amber and the Amber API

**October 23, 2026**

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](https://docs.amber.ai/lookup-filters.md).
* **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](https://docs.amber.ai/guides/mcp.md).
* **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.
