Confirm Despatch - leaving depot immedaitely
Confirm Despatch - leaving depot in X minutes.

ETAs - Calculation point / storage

Issue

3.3.0

Processor

The ETA is currently calculated when drivers confirm despatch and the message is processed by the server.  Later, if an email / SMS is to be sent with a time window, we then calculate the window from this time and send it.

The EDI API expects the window from / to fields to be set for all deliveries from the start, the result is that if a delivery doesn't have an email / sms generated for it then the window from / to are empty.

EPOD will be changed to populate the window from / to when processing the MT1, so all deliveries have an ETA window saved for them.

Message process delay caused by notifications which cannot be sent

Bug

3.2.0

Processor

Notification emails & SMS messages are stored and then processed, in some instances there's no email nor mobile number to send the notification to and these messages build up.  Every time the process checks for emails to send, the number accumulates and the process takes longer and longer and this has a knock on affect to the uploaded message processing.
