Display discontinued icon for bundle components on Quote/Cart/Sales Order in BackOffice.
A red “i” icon will now be displayed in Quote/Cart/Sales Order against components of a bundle or configuration when the components are discontinued or no longer available.
Cost Source drop down will not be available in Price Rules in case of derived pricelist.
If a price list is derived from another price list, then System will display label ‘Cost will be same as “Price” of the product from base price list referred.’ This is because the Cost Source drop down will not be available for derived pricelist.
Changes in Email Server Setup.
Now the ‘Office 365’ and ‘Others’ option in ‘Type’ dropdown in e-mail server setup have been renamed as ‘Single User Authentication’ & ‘Multi User Authentication’ respectively
- Single User Authentication – The Quotes, Carts, SO and PO sent from VS will use same SMTP details for authenticating emails sent by all VARStreet users.
- Multi User Authentication – Emails server needs to be setup for each user in VS. In addition to setting SMTP for each user, we have now given the provision to define SMTP for non-VARStreet users as well. Foe e.g. If you have set email id support@email.com for sending out registration emails, now you have the ability to set SMTP for support@email.com as well which may not be a user’s email id in VS.
While defining special pricing for products, the “Effective to” & “Effective From” dates will be mandatory.
- To prevent duplicate records from being created in Special Pricing, the “Effective to” & “Effective From” dates has been made mandatory. User can define more than one special price for the same products but with different date range.
- By default, system will populate current date in “Effective From” field & plus 10 years will be populated in “Effective To” date field.
