Notes on the release change
AEB will carry out the installation for you during the scheduled maintenance windows.
The update is first carried out in the test systems and approximately one week later in the production systems.
Comments
Update of the agreement designation (MERCOSUR)
In a current technical report on zoll.de, the Central Customs Authority clarifies that the origin MERCOSUR must be stated in the (long-term) supplier's declaration. The mere naming of individual countries therefore does not comply with the current requirements.
At the time of the last release delivery, there was still no clear technical clarification on this.
AEB is currently implementing the new requirement and will provide you with a corresponding adjustment in an upcoming service package. The delivery is scheduled for May 12, 2026 in the evening. Please note that your system will be temporarily unavailable during installation. The change is described in the release notes.
Instructions
Automatic update of new certificates
All certificates with the status new are automatically updated to the current agreement designation.
