Updates

2025-10-20 - Q3 2025

Security Enhancements: This release brings important security enhancements, including improved session management to ensure more secure and stable user experiences. Additionally, we have updated core packages to address known vulnerabilities, reinforcing the platform’s overall security posture and resilience.

Infrastructure & Logging Improvements have been significantly improved. Logging within Azure App Service has been enhanced to provide deeper operational visibility and diagnostics. We have also strengthened the rejection mechanism to proactively block unauthorized and illegal API calls at the earliest possible stage, improving system reliability and threat prevention.

B2B API Enhancements: Tatmeen B2B API has been enhanced to support richer and more structured data exchange. The Production Verification API now includes new fields such as Destination GLN, Destination Location Name, Destination Geo Longitude, and Destination Geo Latitude. We have also introduced support for standard formatting and implemented automatic filtering of unsupported characters—such as spaces and newline characters—in identifiers, ensuring cleaner and more reliable inputs.

Reporting Improvements have been refined to better support internal teams. The Internal Permit Analysis Report has been enhanced to deliver more actionable insights, particularly benefiting onboarding and support teams in their daily operations

Data Consistency & Integrity To ensure data consistency and integrity, we have implemented additional validation checks for SGTINs unpacked from SSCCs. These checks help maintain data accuracy and reliability across all systems and processes.

2025-08-14 - Q2 2025

GLN Summary Page Enhancement: At the request of the enforcement and inspection team, we enhanced the GLN Summary Page to simplify field inspections. The update adds shipment-out quantities, enabling inspectors to perform comprehensive inspections using only the Tatmeen summary report.

SPOC Message Log Access: In response to frequent SPOC user changes in the market, new SPOCs can now access message logs of their predecessors. This ensures full continuity and control over the location’s activity while enhancing data access security within Tatmeen.

Commissioned Item Transfer Program: To address issues related to wrong commissioning or shipment misrouting, a new support program has been introduced that allows the transfer of commissioned items from one import permit to another. This action is performed only after receiving approval from the EDE Import team.
The program helps resolve operational errors without compromising regulatory integrity by maintaining full traceability of all affected serial numbers. Instead of deleting or overwriting data, the platform now keeps a complete record of the transfer, ensuring data consistency and accountability.

Improved Error Messages: Enhanced error messages across the application, including login and in-app errors, to provide clearer guidance to users. This improvement helps users quickly identify the root cause of issues and correct mistakes efficiently, improving overall user experience.

Inactive GLN Cleanup: To maintain a clean and user-friendly portal amid ongoing GLN changes in the industry, inactive GLNs were removed from the user settings page. However, users can still view their old, disabled GLNs in the partner display if needed for reference.

Shipment Permit Status Report Updates: Developed an enhanced internal report to help the support team generate compliance data more quickly and accurately. This report will soon be deployed to the analytics dashboard, providing better visibility for EDE leadership.

Import Clearance Page Correction: Enhanced the import clearance page to display only EA (Eaches) units, aligning with the format used in shipping permits. This update was requested by inspectors to eliminate confusion caused by logistics units like Bundles and Cases, which are not referenced in official documentation.

Shipment Permit Table Logging: Introduced history logging on shipment permit tables to track changes made within the import permit system. This was implemented after repeated cases of permit modifications by EDE IT, providing the Tatmeen support team with better visibility and control for faster issue resolution

System Performance Improvements: The system's overall performance has been significantly optimized to ensure smoother operations and a more responsive user experience. 

2025-03-28 - Q1 2025

Location Summary in Partner Master: A new Location Summary section has been introduced within the Partner Master module to provide users with a quick and clear overview of stock movement. This section displays near real-time information on Current, In-Transit, and Dispensed stock, allowing users to monitor inventory levels efficiently. By consolidating this data in one view, stakeholders can make faster and more informed decisions regarding stock allocation and distribution

Standard Format Support in Product Verification API: The Product Verification API has been upgraded to support Standard Readable Format in addition to the Uniform Resource Name (URN) format, enhancing its flexibility and compatibility with external systems.

Batch Upload Limit for Error Prevention: To minimize data entry errors and enhance system reliability, a new restriction has been introduced for batch file uploads. Users can now upload a maximum of five (5) batches per file, reducing the likelihood of incorrect or incomplete data submissions.

In-Transit Status Display in Product Verification: The Product Verification screen now clearly displays In-Transit status for relevant products, ensuring users have full visibility into stock movement.

Password Visibility Toggle: A new Password Visibility Toggle feature has been introduced for user convenience and accuracy. Users can now choose to view the password they enter during Registration, Login, and Password Change processes by enabling a visibility option. This enhancement reduces input errors, ensuring that users enter their credentials correctly, leading to fewer failed login attempts and improved user experience.

In-Transit Product Verification with Modified Lot Numbers: The system now allows verification of In-Transit products, even if the Lot Number has been modified. This update is particularly useful for logistics and supply chain operations where lot number adjustments may occur due to repackaging or relabelling. The verification is performed based on the Destination GLN, ensuring accurate tracking and validation of products even after such modifications.

Event Permissions for Expired Products: The system now allows specific controlled actions to be performed on Expired Products, ensuring compliance with regulatory and operational policies. The permitted actions include:

a.      Pack: Enables the bundling of expired products for disposal or controlled use.

b.      Unpack: Allows expired products to be separated if required for further processing.

c.      Product Transfer: Supports the relocation of expired products within authorized zones.

d.      Recall: Facilitates the controlled retrieval of expired products from the market.

e.      Destruction: Ensures compliance with disposal regulations by allowing systematic product destruction

            all other actions on expired products remain restricted to prevent unauthorized use or accidental distribution. This structured approach ensures that             expired inventory is handled appropriately while maintaining operational flexibility where needed.

Enhanced Error Messaging: System error messages have been revised and refined to provide clearer, more descriptive, and actionable guidance when issues occur. These enhancements help users quickly understand the nature of an error, identify its root cause, and take appropriate corrective actions.

Multiple UI improvements have been implemented to streamline workflows and deliver a smoother, more intuitive user experience.

System Performance Improvements: The system's overall performance has been significantly optimized to ensure smoother operations and a more responsive user experience.

Technical Guide Updates: The Technical Guide for Logistics has undergone a comprehensive update to provide detailed and structured documentation on the Sampling Event process. These updates include step-by-step instructions, definitions of key terms, and examples of best practices, making it easier for users to understand and follow the process correctly.
