While winter continues, we're keeping your compliance warm with important updates to ShipCompliant. This month's release includes critical tax calculation fixes and system improvements to help you stay compliant as we move through Q1. Here's what's new.
New and improved

We added the ability to create combined wholesale and direct-to-consumer registration packets for Alabama. You can now generate both LCD-41 and LCD-42 forms in a single packet when registering wine products for both sales channels.
File cabinet
We added a label field to the Territorial Agreement Form. You can now assign territorial agreements to specific labels, similar to how Distributor Appointment Letters work.
