Enhancements

User can now create Discount Coupon by Customer

Before Release

Previously there was no provision to create discount coupon by Customer. Also, there was no provision to select “Apply Once” flag “By Customer” or “By Contact”.

After Release

Users can now create discount coupon by customer(s) and also can select “Apply Once” flag “By Customer” or “By Contact”. If apply once “By Customer” is selected then discount coupon will apply only once in transaction to the Customer. If any one of the contact in customer uses the discount coupon in transaction then it will not be available to other contacts of customer.

To access this new feature go to BO>>Admin>>Discount Coupon>>Coupon Code

Use Case - This will help in defining customer specific discount coupon which can be available only for selected customers / contacts in VS

Modifications to Existing Features

Removed “Show all rows” & Column level filtering on following listing pages,

  • All Transactions
  • Order Management
  • Order Approval List
  • Quote Approval List
  • PO Approval List
  • Contact List
  • Customer List
  • Invoices
  • Store Catalog
  • Price Lists
  • Store Messages

Now “Show all rows” has been removed since it was degrading the performance of the system for populating longer list of transactions. The filtering logic has been improved to handle quick search instead of looking at the longer lists.

Introduced filtering drop-downs on following transaction listing pages:

VARStreet has introduced new drop-downs for Status and list of documents

  • Open, Close and All in Order Management Dashboard & All Transactions module
  • “My Documents” and “All Documents” in Invoices/Purchase Orders / Quotations: Awaiting Approval / Sales Orders: Awaiting Approval / Purchase Orders: Awaiting Approval / Guest Carts / Store Messages modules.

Use Case - It will help user to see all open and close transactions together if needed. Also, a user’s selection in drop down will remain sticky on above listing pages.

Removed ‘GROUP’ from Store Catalog.

Since ‘Groups’ is not considered in applying filter for categories in store catalog, we have removed ‘GROUP’ from Store Catalog. Now we will only have Categories and Sub-Categories in Store Catalog.

Added an option called “$ off on Unit Price” in calculation basis field for product based discount coupon.

While creating discount coupon user should be able to create a product based discount rule with “Flat OFF on Unit Price”.

Updated Display Message when a Quote / Cart is copied on the store

After copying Quote/Cart/Order on store, system will now display a message “Quote/Cart/Order successfully copied” and message will have a link, which will redirect the user to copied document. E.g. “Cart copied successfully to CART# SS-111 Go to Cart”

Use Case - On copying Quote/Cart/Order on store, message was not clear and customer(s) were not able to understand where to look for newly created document.

Added “Confirmed date” filter in addition to Period filter on “Confirmed Quotes/Carts” report.

Now user can also apply ‘Confirmed Date’ filter in ‘Confirmed Quote/Carts’ report to generate the data.
