## Fixes

### Revenue and costs no longer counted twice  
Revenue and costs now flow consistently between quotes, transport orders, consignments and trips, without duplicated amounts.

  * [Read the guide: Trip costs and revenue →](/en/help/trip-costs-and-revenue)
* FixedTransport orders  
### Unique load numbers when adding several loads  
Adding multiple consignments in one save now gives each a unique, correctly continuing number.

### New environments work from the first order  
Fixed a crash when creating the first transport order and consignment in a brand-new environment.
