New and improved

Label packets
We improved label packet rendering by moving PDF generation to background processing. You can now create label packets without waiting for the PDF to render inline. The Review Label Packet page now displays rendering status indicators, and you can track progress while the PDF generates in the background. We also improved error handling for batch packet creation to provide clearer feedback when problems occur.

Bug fixes

Licenses
We fixed a problem that caused incorrect license type assignment for cider product packets in Arkansas. The system now assigns the correct Wholesale Distribution (Beer, Cider) license type for cider products above six percent alcohol content.
Tax reports
We fixed a problem with the Ohio Beer and Malt Beverage Tax Return that caused incorrect excise tax calculations for certain container configurations. The report now calculates accurate tax amounts.

Regulatory updates

Maine
We updated date column formatting for the Maine Direct Shipper Excise Tax and Premium Report and the Maine Report of Shipments upload files. Both reports now use the correct formatting for upload.
