Announcement
As part of ongoing enhancements to the Real-Time Inventory Service, Kibo is continuing to migrate our internal inventory endpoints. We will be migrating the aggregate inventory internal endpoints from April 30 through May 31. No action is required, but if you have questions then please contact Kibo Support.Production Tenant Features
Fulfillment
- Reject Shipments in Payment Error: The “Reject Shipment” button is now available for Substitution flows in alignment with existing functionality for payment errors during fulfillment. A shipment may go into payment error due to substitute’s price being higher than the original product. While the fulfiller cannot proceed with actions to fulfill it, they should still have the flexibility to reject a shipment.
Subscriptions
- BOPIS Subscriptions: Subscriptions can now be created with pickup items (or a combination of pickup and direct ship), where previously only direct ship was supported. You can quickly switch between pickup and direct ship fulfillment when viewing the items table in the subscription details, including when updating the next order only or placing an order now. Delivery and alternate pickup contacts are not currently supported, only in-store pickup by the primary contact.
Production Bug Fixes
Production Sandbox Features
Catalog
-
Multi-Locale Catalogs (EU Sandbox Hold): This feature allows you to configure catalogs that support multiple locales. You will be able to switch to any of the supported locales when viewing the product, product attribute, category, and discount configuration pages. Then you can change language-specific fields, such as product names and descriptions, to easily localize the content for that locale. For more general information, see the Multi-Locale Catalogs guide.
If you want to use this feature on an existing implementation, then you must contact Kibo Support to be upgraded to a new version of the Catalog Admin APIs and then rewrite your requests to provide a
localizedContentobject. The API documentation has been updated to reflect the new request models. If you upgrade and still need to manage product data that hasn’t been rewritten to the new model, you will be able to call the original version of the APIs without localization by including anx-api-versionheader set to “1” in your request. If you do not upgrade, then your current calls will not require any changes. This update was released to European sandboxes for stability testing on May 21. It will remain there for additional time. Once fully released, it will be available out-of-the-box for all new implementations and existing implementations will be able to upgrade if desired.
Commerce
- External Discounts: An application is now available that allows you to apply order and item-level discounts from an external system to orders in Kibo. When this capability is enabled, Kibo will make an API request to the endpoint you provide to retrieve discount information. See the External Discounts documentation for more details about the API request and your expected response, external discount behavior, and installment instructions.
- Auto Capture Future Shipments: When configuring flexible auto capture, you can now select Future as a shipment state on which to capture the shipment amount. Future shipments are not included in forced auto capture by default, so if you want to capture future shipments then you must do so via flexible auto capture.
Fulfillment
- Signature Option Expansion: More signature options have been added to the UPS package signature integration, such as direct and indirect signatures. These options are now supported for FedEx as well, so packages being delivered by either carrier can make use of these delivery requirements.
Order Routing
- UI Enhancements: Following recent changes to the Order Routing UI, additional enhancements have been made to improve user experience. A link back to the routing strategy is now available when viewing the Scenarios page, making it easier to return to that page without re-navigating through the main routes page. The “Transfer to Store” fulfillment option has also been renamed to the more comprehensive “Transfer to Location.” Finally, some theme colors have been changed.
