Kibo will be transitioning to a new support portal over the next few weeks. If you are an active user in our existing portal, you will receive instructions and an invite to the new portal during the week of the 15th.
Production Tenant Features
Customers
- Customer Search Enhancements: You can now use the Advanced Filters of the Customers UI to switch between performing an Exact or Contains search, similarly to what you can already do in the Orders UI. You can perform these searches on the customer's first name, last name, and phone number. However, note that Contains searches are not supported for phone numbers; looking up a phone number will only ever return exact matches.
Discounts
- Subscription Discount Enhancements: The Discounts UI has been updated to offer more options when configuring subscription discounts. You can now specify whether the discount is applied to the initial order only, continuity orders only, or both. Your selection will determine which additional settings are available, where for continuity orders you can fine-tune your discount eligibility based on the continuity recurrence, Nth continuity order, and subscription frequency. See the Subscription Discounts guide for more details.
Production Bug Fixes
| Service | Resolution |
|---|---|
| API Extensions | When using the global.request.after API Extension, setting single or multiple cookies resulted in an error saying that an item with the same key had already been added. This has been corrected so that cookies can be successfully set in API Extensions without throwing this exception. |
| Catalog | The Quick Edit Assign Categories page's advanced filter was not filtering category types when selecting products. This has been fixed so that you can properly filter products by their categories and select them more easily. |
| Locations | Location group BPM configurations could not be updated properly, as the changes were not being saved. This was due to a null issue caused by having a "None" default carrier, but has now been fixed so that BPMs can be successfully edited for location groups regardless of the default carrier selection. |
| Search | The Site Search was erroring out when an invalid Category ID or Category Code was provided in the search parameters, and has now been made more fault-tolerant so that it will return zero results instead. |

Production Sandbox Features
Search
- Add Products in Merchandizing Rules: You can now manually add products to your search results when configuring a merchandizing rule, allowing you to promote additional products that wouldn't normally appear for a search term or category. For more information, see the Merchandizing Rules guide.
- Minor UI Update: The Save button on the Merchandizing Rules page has been standardized to have the same size and padding as other Save buttons in the Admin UI.
Sandbox Bug Fixes
| Service | Resolution |
|---|---|
| Fulfiller | 500 Errors were being experienced for shipments that had one line item out of stock during the shipment creation process, due to a null pointer exception. This has been corrected so that shipments can be successfully created. |
| Returns | Return labels were not being generated for a particular implementation, due to an error where invalid customer reference numbers were being provided for return shipments. This has been fixed so that return labels can be successfully generated with the proper customer reference numbers. |
Internal Sandbox Details
Find more information about the client-facing updates at these Jira tickets:
- Add Products in Merchandizing Rules: CAT-2425
- Minor Search UI Update: CAT-2502
- Note that some work has also been done for Change Product Type, Resend Shipment Emails (plus FFMT-3629), Accurate Fulfillment Date, and an Order Permissions Update, but those features are not yet complete and so not detailed in release notes yet.
The following enhancements are internal-only and not exposed to clients:
- FFMT-3777: The Fulfiller UI has been upgraded to Version 8 of Angular.
- CAT-2623: A new field, sale_price_effective_date, has been added to the Google feed Solr export.
- CAT-2636: The salePriceEndDate field has been populated in Solr as part of Google feed changes.
- CAT-2774: Exports have been hooked up via MongoAdmin for testing instead of unit tests, so exports can now be created from the Mongo Admin API. See the ticket for a Postman collection and more information.
- TECR-2, TECR-3, and TECR-5: Headless and Search tenant provisioning has been optimized with a new workflow and the Dev Center/AppDev services have been updated to insert new tenant type defaults for new dev accounts, implement SQL to update existing dev accounts, and make minor UI updates.
The following bug fixes are internal-only and not exposed to clients:
- FFMT-3840: The Kibo.Fulfillment service was upgraded to a new Spring Boot version but began experiencing errors when calling any Fulfillment API that writes EntityModel<String> responses. This has been corrected so error messages are no longer returned for these APIs.
