# Intelligent Shipper Release Notes - August 2025

## Intelligent Shipper Release Notes (Please refer to your deployment notification for Release Notes Dates).

**📂 Royal Mail Master Data File Updates**

Based on the latest Royal Mail master data file (MDF), the following improvements have been introduced:

- **Enhanced validation rule logic**: The validation logic for Royal Mail shipment creation has been improved with additional parameters. This enhancement ensures greater accuracy and compliance in shipment processing.
- **Posting location management**: Receiving Hub codes are now available in the **Add** and **Edit** **Posting Location** screens. These codes, along with their associated postcodes, support more effective management of posting locations.
- **EU-specific IOSS validation**: A new validation has been introduced to ensure that the IOSS field is only considered valid when the shipment destination is within the EU. This ensures compliance with EU-specific tax regulations and prevents incorrect application of IOSS numbers to non-EU shipments.

***Note****: Shipments to GB are explicitly excluded from this validation.*
