Production Tenant Features
Catalog
- Discount Enhancements: Discount configurations now allow you to set a discount's code and indicate whether it's public or not. The Discount UI's advanced search options can filter discounts by this code and public status.
Public line item discounts can be accessed by your storefront or custom code via a new POST endpoint,.../commerce/catalog/storefront/discounts/products. Non-public ones can be accessed by users with the Discount Read behavior at POST.../discounts/secure/products. Provide a list ofproductsin the request body (up to a maximum of 20) to retrieve discounts for those products. You can filter further with apricelistin the header, or by providing acustomerSegmentsfield and list of values in the body.
Another new endpoint, POST.../discounts/secure/orders, will return non-public order-level discounts for users with appropriate permissions. You can filter this API specifically for shipping or product discounts withtargetType("Shipping" or "Product") in the header.
See the API documentation for more details. Additionally, some minor styling changes have been made to the Discount UI to better display attributes.
Production Bug Fixes
| Service | Resolution |
|---|---|
| Catalog | Null errors during the pricelist file export process resulted in the file only containing a single row. This has been corrected so that the file is exported with all appropriate pricelist records as expected. |
| Catalog | 500 Internal Server and 400 Bad Request errors were experienced from the Product Search API due to an formatting issue with a space in dates, preventing some merchandizing rules from being saved. This has been fixed so that dates are formatted correctly and no longer cause errors. |
| Catalog | Custom theme changes were not being immediately reflected on the site or Kibo Admin due to caching. This process has been updated so that applying a new theme will prompt it to refresh and display the changes more quickly. |
| Catalog | Discounts were not being applied to dynamic categories that specify a list of products in their expressions. This has been fixed so that discounts can be successfully applied to these categories as expected. |
| Commerce | The Order Status API was throwing a 500 Internal Server Error when incorrect information was provided, instead of a 400 Bad Request. This has been fixed so that more accurate error information is provided. |
| Commerce | Some Admin-Only order attributes of the "list" type were unable to be edited again after the initial save. This has been corrected so that attributes can be updated as expected. |
| Fulfillment | Fulfillers experienced errors when adding manual tracking numbers to packages that were not enabled for split packing slips. This has been fixed so that tracking numbers can be successfully added in this scenario going forward. |
| Inventory | A number of connection errors, including request failures and timeouts, were intermittently experienced after migrating translated OMS implementations from the Get Inventory API to the real-time inventory service. Optimizations have been made to improve this integration and reduce connection issues going forward. |
| Inventory | Some inventory imports were failing due to case sensitivity between ".CSV" and ".csv" file endings. This has been fixed so that files are successfully imported regardless of whether or not their type is capitalized or not. |

Production Sandbox Features
Catalog
- Discount Labels: You can now create additional text labels for discounts in the general discount configurations, allowing you to further categorize them for better management.
- Discounts API Filters: New filters for
code(string) andisPublic(boolean) have been added to the Get Discounts API, allowing you to retrieve discounts by that criteria. Additionally, the new item-level and order-level endpoints added with the previous release can now be filtered bylocationCodes(array of strings). The API documentation will be updated soon for both of these updates.
Sandbox Bug Fixes
| Service | Resolution |
|---|---|
| Commerce | Location events (such as location.created) were not able to be added to applications because they were not listed in the event subscription options. These events have now been added so that they can be successfully subscribed to. |
| Commerce | Shipping tax amounts were being returned as losses in the return response data even though shipping and handling taxes were not intended to be refunded. This issue was only occurring in the production environment, not sandboxes, but has now been fixed so that refunds are appropriately calculated without this tax. |
| Commerce | The Issue Refund confirmation button in the Admin UI's return refund modal sometimes remained greyed out when a valid refund amount was entered. This has been corrected so that the button becomes clickable as intended. |
| Commerce | Filtering the GET Orders API by Completed and Processing statuses (?filter=status in [Completed,Processing]) resulted in errors for an invalid query. This has been fixed so that you can filter the API by both order status and fulfillmentStatus and retrieve the expected results. |
