Bug Fixes

State Tax Report Not Showing Correct ‘State’ of the Country

Before Release

  • Even if the ‘Bill To’ and ‘Ship To’ was US address for a sales order (SO), the state tax report was displaying State of other country.
  • This was happening because multiple countries were having the same state code.

After Release

To resolve this issue, an additional filter of country with state code has been introduced in the state tax report. This will ensure that the State of that respective country are only visible in the report.

Guest Cart/Quote Confirmation URL was Publicly Access

Before Release

In case of Guest cart, if user copies Guest cart/Quote confirmation URL and paste it in another browser then the page was visible without the user having to login to the store.

After Release

The issue has been fixed. Now in case of Guest cart, if user copies Guest cart/Quote confirmation and paste it in another browser then the system will redirect user to Login page of the Store.
