Modifications to Existing Feaures

Bug Fixes

Shipping Rates Returned from VARStreet were found to be Incorrect

Before Release

Shipping rates and the subsequent freight amount returned from VARStreet were being calculated incorrectly in case of packaging for the following shipping methods:

  • UPS Next Day Air Early AM
  • FEDEX Standard Overnight
  • FEDEX First Overnight
  • FEDEX 2Day
  • FEDEX Priority Overnight

For the above 5 shipping methods, the shipping rates returned from VARStreet were lower than the standard rates returned from FedEx Site. This was happening because service products that did not have any dimensions were being included in Total Insured Value for freight calculation.

After Release

This issue has been fixed. Now products that don't have dimensions will not be included in Total Insured value for freight calculations. As a result, freight amount will be accurately calculated in case of packaging for the above 5 shipping methods.

For Quote, Sort Number Mismatch Between Notification Error Message and Products on "Products Tab"

Before Release

Previously while converting quote into order, if the system displayed notification error message such as "Mfr Part#[] with Tax Code [] already exists" then the sort number of the products on the error message does not match with the products on the 'Products Tab".

After Release

The issue has been fixed. Now while converting quote into order, if the system shows notification error message such as "Mfr Part#[] with Tax Code [] already exists" then the sort number of the products on the error message will match with the products on the 'Products Tab".
