Version 4.22 released. Exportmaster version 4.22 incorporates a large number of new
features and enhancements. Licensed users will find a full listing of all the changes, together with
instructions as to use, in the document EM 422 Release Notes.pdf which can be found in the
ReleaseNotes folder on the Exportmaster CD. You will also find a copy of the installation
instructions - EM 422 Installation Instructions.pdf - in the same location.
Here are some of the most noticeable changes. Facilities for importing data from customers’ enquiry
or order documents using copy-and-paste have been
dramatically improved, permitting significant reductions in re-keying. Customer and transaction-related
notes have become available on-screen at various new key locations, allowing specialised instructions to be
more visible when needed. Datasearch, now with output to Excel, has been improved and extended while
customer, consignee and supplier master files can now be used as a centre for locating their related
transactions. For TOPS users, the substitution of suppliers’ own descriptions for the exporter’s descriptions
has become easier and more widespread in scope. (28/04/2011)
Incoterms® 2010. Incoterms® 2010 were launched in mid-September 2010 and
came into effect on 1 January 2011. The Exportmaster Delivery Terms master file contains a maintainable
list of the Incoterms. Exportmaster was already equipped to deal with the change but installation of
Release 4.22 automatically adds two new Incoterms to the list if they do not
yet exist.
DAT - Delivered At Terminal
DAP - Delivered At Place
The new Incoterms rules - DAT and DAP - have replaced the Incoterms 2000 rules DAF, DES, DEQ and DDU.
However these earlier rules will not be removed as part of this update.

Tunnel restriction codes. If you move hazardous goods through certain designated tunnels, you must now use tunnel restriction codes on Dangerous Goods Notes and related documents. In order to help you comply with the new regulations, Exportmaster version 4.21 incorporates changes to Shipping Data, to Hazard Data and to the document designs for DGN's. (19/01/2010)
Electronic document storage. If you have Exportmaster's Document Archiving module, it will be upgraded as part of the imminent Release 4.21 to permit the automatic creation and storage of PDF files. (19/01/2010)
EU VAT changes. Exportmaster has been updated to deal with alterations announced by
HMRC to the European Sales List that take effect in January 2010. (For a brief
summary, see the news page).
All the necessary updates are incorporated in Exportmaster version 4.21. However, all clients known to be
using Exportmaster for preparation of the ESL report should already have received an update CD for version 4.20.

Dynamic email documents. You can now set up Exportmaster (all packages) to generate emails that contain formatted documents (text or HTML) within what would normally be the text area. Production of such emails is triggered by the operation of an appropriate activity line in your processing system. Instructions as to how to create templates for these emails will be found on your v4.20 CD in the Manuals folder in the file EM template emailing.pdf. Alternatively, this work can be undertaken on your behalf by Exportmaster development staff.
This new feature is in addition to the existing facility whereby any document can be generated as an attachment to an email. (31/10/2009)
Exportmaster release 4.20. All Exportmaster licensees have been issued with Version 4.20 free of charge under their annual maintenance contract. There are substantially enhanced facilities for TOPS users while all Exportmaster packages now have the ability to generate email documents incorporating dynamic formatted content (text or HTML) within the body of the message.
