    Carrier: OSM Worldwide v2

    OSM v2 is here! With v2, live rating is supported, no longer requiring users to provide rate cards to EasyPost. OSM Worldwide ships to domestic US and US territories, Monday through Saturday, and uses USPS for last-mile delivery.

    Before you dive in with this robust new option, it's important to understand that OSM needs a specific piece of information for every shipment: the "name" for the shipping address.

    Sometimes, this "name" field might be left blank in the order details sent over. When that happens, OSM can't process the shipment correctly because it's expecting that name.

    To address this, you'll want to make sure you use a Manifest Script. If you're not familiar with this tool, you can think of a manifest script as a small piece of code that runs behind the scenes right before a shipping label is created.

    We have an example script here that satisfies the requirements of OSM. First, it checks the "name" field, looking at the shipping address for the Order. If the "name" field is blank, the script automatically copies whatever value is present in the "company" field of the shipping address and pastes it into the "name" field. Leverage this script to ensure smooth shipping with OSM!

     

    Disabled Frozen status on ASN via API

    While we previously disabled the Frozen status for ASNs via the UI, it was still possible to access that status via the API. We have disabled this to prevent users from accidentally pushing ASNs into a bad state by selecting this status through the API, allowing you worry-free operations!

     

    Date Fields in Emailed Reports

    We detected an issue with date fields displaying incorrectly in emailed reports, resulting in a visual inconsistency. We have rectified that to make reading these reports much easier and helpful.
