Dear customers,

On 15.01.2025, we successfully rolled out a new version of the Post & DHL Business Customer Portal. In addition to general technical optimizations, these are the contents of the new version.

  • Invoice Center: New error message if invoice archive is unavailable

Users now receive an error message in the invoice center if the invoice archive is not available.

Are you already familiar with our new GoGreen Plus service? GoGreen Plus is the next level of sustainable shipping: for national shipments, CO2e emissions are reduced through additional measures in our logistics network. The reduction is achieved through additional investments in our logistics network in Germany (so-called insetting), e.g. in e-vehicles. Please speak to your sales contact person about this.

Dear customers,

On September 11, 2024, we have successfully rolled out a new version of the Post & DHL Business Customer Portal (GKP). Along with general technical optimizations, here are the updates in the Invoice Center of the portal:

Invoice Center:

  • "Invoice Number / Reference" dropdown list:
    All invoice numbers contained in the information of an invoice, along with their respective references if available, are now listed in the "Invoice Number / Reference" dropdown list in the invoice overview.
  • Detailed information on an invoice:
    If multiple order numbers, invoice numbers, and references are available for an invoice, they will now be displayed as related information.
  • Bug fix:
    The term "Collective invoice" and an "Info-I" icon will only be displayed if there are multiple entries and multiple invoice numbers in the document information of an invoice.

Dear customers,

On 12.08.2024, we successfully rolled out a new version of the Post & DHL Business Customer Portal. In addition to general technical optimizations, these are the new features in the portal's invoice center:

  • Optimization of the information displayed for a billing document in "Invoice overview" and "Archive query": for billing documents with more than one billing number as booking reference, the lowest billing number after sorting is now displayed with a note that further billing numbers are available for this billing document. In addition, the gross amount is always displayed in the "Billing /amount" column. If no gross amount is available, the net amount is displayed with the addition "(net)".
  • Introduction detailed view of invoices: The information for an invoice can now contain 1 to x invoice numbers including references and 1 to x orders. For an optimized display, the detailed view for table entries already known from the contract data overview has been introduced: When the invoice overview is initially loaded, the previously known table contents are loaded; by expanding the detailed view, further information on the billing document is displayed.
  • Invoice search filter extension: Activated search terms now allow you to show or hide search results that do not apply. In addition to the information displayed in the table row, the information from the detail view is now also used. As a result, several order numbers and the newly introduced time code are displayed better in the filtering for billing documents with more than one billing number.
  • Optimization of selection list "Billing number / reference" invoice overview: After retrieving at least one billing document in the invoice overview, the "Billing number / reference" selection list is activated. This can be used to filter for billing numbers and references via checkbox selection. The entries in the selection list are now sorted in ascending order according to EKP, contract procedure, participation and reference.
