Modifications to Existing Features
In Sales Reports, Distributor Dropdown will also list Custom Distributors
Before Release
Previously in sales reports, the distributor dropdown menu was only displaying VARStreet (VS) distributors. As a result, the users could not run sales reports and find transactions associated with custom distributors.
After Release
Now the distributor dropdown menu will show all distributors including VS and custom distributors. User can run sales reports and find transactions created for custom distributors.
'My Account Section' on storefront to be Responsive

Changes in Product-based Price Rule Upload Wizard File format
- Now 'IsVARStreet (Y/N)' is no longer mandatory in upload file of product based price rule
- Now system will use 'Mfr. Part#' and 'Mfr. Name' to upload product-based price rule through Upload Wizard
- System will not validate 'IsVARStreet (Y/N)' column when user is uploading product-based price rule through Upload Wizard.
- If user enters Mfr. Part# with Mfr. Name then system will pick the exact product and upload that product-based price rule.
- If same Mfr. part# is present twice with different Mfr. Names and user does not enter Mfr. Name then system will not upload that product-based price rule.
- Export error log system will display product details which are coming from multiple Mfr. Names
Use Case -> User was trying to update the product prices (through Upload Wizard) However, two different manufacturers had the same Mfr. Part#. System was updating the product prices of the other manufacturer. Hence the change.

- A new flag called “Product condition mandatory” has been introduced under Returns menu.
- When this flag is checked, the 'Product Condition' field will be mandatory in Return Request popup (both on Store and BackOffice)
