Opter 2025.12.00

New columns in dispatch:

• Distance (order): Shows the estimated distance of the order.

• Distance (shipment): Displays the estimated distance of the shipment.

• Distance (auto): Primarily displays the estimated distance of the shipment. If the shipment has no distance, the order’s estimated distance is displayed.

Distances are shown in kilometres. These columns can be useful, for example, if you want to see the distances between consignments in dispatch.

If you want the columns to appear in the dispatch view, add them in the window Dispatch settings.

Further information:

• Adding columns to the dispatch

• Dispatch settings (window)

If you work with consignments, it may be useful to know which consignment order number a shipment or an order belongs to. Add the column Consignment order no..

Previously, updates were sent automatically and continuously from dispatch to the display Route optimisation. This feature was removed in Opter 2025.06.00 because it was causing other issues.

You can now update the address list manually by clicking Update shipments from dispatch or pressing F5 in the route optimisation window. All information about the shipments is updated, but no new shipments are added or removed. The new button is useful if you are working in the dispatch and route optimisation windows at the same time.

Further information:

• Route optimisation (window)

• Multi-vehicle optimisation

• Manual route optimisation

Applies only to multiple vehicle optimization.

In window Route optimisation (F9), the tick box Lock shipments to existing resource has been removed and replaced with the new button Unlock/lock all shipments from/to the resources (above the address list) and the option Unlock/lock selected shipments from/to the resource that appears in the menu when you right-click on selected shipments in the address list.

You can now enter the code and description for price items directly in the item register, where you can also sort by item code. The Price items tab in the price list now also displays the code in the name of the price item.

Further information:

• Price items (window)

• Price lists (window)

It is now possible to base new price generations on prices applicable on a specific date, whether past or future, rather than just on prices applicable today. This means you can create several price tiers that build on one another without having to calculate the percentage change between the second and third tiers, and so on.

• Adjust prices (window)

• New price generation (window)

The account coding for supplier bill adjustments now also takes into account the subcontractor or employee/vehicle specified on the bill surcharge. Previously, the account coding was determined solely by the type of supplier bill adjustments.

The region specified in the bill surcharge is now also used for account coding. Previously, the adjustment was always posted according to the region of the supplier bill, regardless of what was stated on the bill surcharge.

Further information:

• Supplier bill adjustments

• Predefined bill surcharges (window)

It is now possible to send supplier bills to an email address other than the one to which notifications are sent. Enter the address in the Email supplier bill export field on the Pricing and Billing tab in the subcontractor register. Notifications are still sent to the address listed under Contact Information on the tab General.

If you do not specify a specific address for supplier bills, they will be sent to the same address as the notifications.

Applies only to settlement exports of types PDF, XmlSerializer and Fortnox.

Further information:

• Subcontractors (window)

Swedish bank account numbers consist of a clearing code (four to five digits) and an account number.

Fortnox has one field for the clearing number and one for the account number, whereas Opter has one field (Bank account number) that can contain either the clearing number and the account number, or just the account number. Opter can now distinguish between the clearing number and the account number if you enter them in the correct format in the field Bank account number.

Before you export supplier bills to Fortnox, please check that (for Swedish bank account numbers) both the clearing number and the account number are entered in the correct format in field Bank account number on tab Pricing and Billing in the driver register/subcontractor register. The correct format is, for example, the clearing code, a space, and then the account number. If it is not a Swedish bank account number, enter all the digits in sequence in the field.

• The new column Options can be added to the customer web and resource web portals.

The settings have been configured so that the Internal message column can be displayed on the driver and subcontractor web without users being able to edit or add messages.

1. To view internal messages, add the column as usual on the tab Columns in the lists and fields in the detail view.

2. If you also want the carrier/subcontractor to be able to edit and add internal messages, tick Add and change internal message on the order under The resource webs on the tab Menu alternatives and functions.

Further information:

It is now possible to reduce the file size of PDF files for freight bills and parcel labels by removing all text formatting when they are attached to notifications, for example. Select Reduce the size of the PDF file in the window Reports.

The function for compressing PDF attachments in invoice exports has not changed. It is still set for each invoice export.

Previously, CO₂ emissions were calculated based on the price vehicle type if the shipment was subcontracted to a contractor. You can now enter details regarding CO2 emissions (e.g. fuel and fuel consumption) in the subcontractor register. CO2 emissions for shipments that are subcontracted are based primarily on the settings in the subcontractor register and secondarily on the price vehicle type.

• How Opter calculates CO2 emissions

• CO2 emissions in grams, overview

• Subcontractors (window)

In Opter 2025.06.00 and earlier versions, the CO2 emissions for the shipment are calculated based on the distance provided by Opter/PTV, even if the distance has been entered manually on the order and the order contains only one shipment.

From 00:00 on 25 December 2025, the shipment will automatically be assigned the same distance as you have specified manually on the order, provided that the order contains only one shipment and that shipment does not have a manually specified distance. This means, therefore, that the calculated CO2 emissions for the shipment are based on the distance entered manually on the order.

• CO2 emissions in grams, overview

The statistics report Total is now called By office, and Overview is a bonus.

In the statistics reports, you can see, among other things, the fuel consumption for the shipment on the row (in the column Consumption).

In the statistics report Overview, you can see, amongst other things, whether any shipments are missing fuel consumption data in column Shipments without consumption (in the table Shipments).

The statistical report Load factor provides an overview of how well vehicle capacity has been utilised over a selected period. It shows the occupancy rate per vehicle and day, as well as the average occupancy rate for the selected period. The aim is to provide the organisation with a simple framework for monitoring capacity utilisation and identifying patterns in line haul services and similar flows.

Columns Extra ID 1–Extra ID 8 have been added to the statistics report Pricing > Cost price item list. This may be useful if you want to compile a list of price items and their custom fields.
