Key Breaking Changes In New Quote, Order, And Return Calculations

Line Item Management

• The following line item statuses are removed from the Manage Order screen:

  • Partial Refund

  • Returned

• The provision to increase/decrease line item quantity, delete a line item, and partially refund an amount for a line item will not be available from the Manage Order screen.
• The changes in the following will not affect the values saved against the Orders and it’s respective Returns:

  • Product’s unit price

  • Product’s tiered-price

  • Changes in activation/expiration date of product’s price list

  • Changes in Store/Account/User Profile/User’s price list

  • Product included quantities for each child product

  • The product’s Out Of Stock Options Value

Discount Calculations

• When an Order Discount (promotion or coupon) is applied to an Order, the Discount Amount will first be distributed among the line item items before a new Discount is applied. A similar will be the case for CSR Discount, however since CSR Discount is given the last preference, therefore if a new Discount is applied after the CSR Discount, the CSR Discount will first be removed, a new Discount will be applied and then CSR Discount will be applied.
• Real-time Discount values and limitations will not be checked when any changes are made to the Orders or Returns (except when a Discount is applied to an existing Order) and therefore any changes made to the Discounts (promotions/coupons) will not affect the Orders placed prior to the new changes.
• The following settings will not work when a Discount (promotion/coupon) is applied from the Manage Order screen, therefore all Discounts (promotions/coupons) applied will be applicable:
  • Allow Promotions and Coupons Together
  • Promotions with Exceptions

Shipping Calculations

• Real-time Shipping values and limitations will not be checked when any changes are made to the Orders or Returns (except when a Shipping Method or Order addresses are changed) and therefore any changes made to the Shipping Method will not affect the Orders placed prior to the new changes. Even when the Shipping Method is removed from the Store, still the Shipping Amount will not be removed from the Order (except when a Shipping Method or Order addresses are changed).
• The shipping Discount amount will be displayed separately in the Order and Quote Summary
• Shipping Discounts will only be applicable on Shipping and not on Handling Charges.
• Handling Charges will only be applicable for the entire Order and not for line items.
• The provision to edit Shipping for the entire Order will not be available from the Manage Order screen.
• The provision to manage Ship Separately independently for products is removed. All the line items available in the order can now be shipped separately.

Tax Calculations

• Tax Rates available on the Order Creation Date will be used to calculate the Tax amount when any changes are made to the Orders or Returns.
• The values of the following settings will be saved along with the order so that the same values can be used for calculations during order management:

  • Calculate Tax On The Discounted Price

  • Include Shipping In Taxes

• When the value of the “Include Shipping In Taxes” setting is true for any Tax, the Tax Amount will be calculated on the Shipping Amount and not on the Handling Charges.

Voucher Calculations

• The provision to remove the applied voucher will not be available from the Manage Order screen.
• Real-time Voucher balance and limitations will not be checked when any changes are made to the Orders (except when Voucher is applied) or Returns and therefore any changes made to the Voucher from the Edit Voucher screen will not affect the Orders where the Voucher was used prior to the changes.

Important: No values will be refunded back to the respective Vouchers in any scenario. Admin users will have to manage the refund values manually.

Old Orders, Quotes, And Returns

• Since new columns have been introduced in the database for Orders, the information in the new columns will not be available for existing Orders after an upgrade from a previous version. In order to migrate old Orders, it is necessary for admin users to first open/manage the Order and Save the changes so that the real-time values are saved. Then the new calculation workflow can be used for further updates.

Important: 

• In this scenario, when an admin user clicks the Save button, real-time data will be checked for promotions/coupons eligibility, discount amount, the shipping method associated with the User Profile and Store, shipping amount, tax rate, and tax amount and accordingly, all the Order values will be re-calculated and saved. This could increase or reduce the Order Total and thus application would request a new payment request or initiate a refund respectively. 
• The following notification message will be displayed on the Manage Order screen respectively for Orders placed before the project is upgraded to the 9.7/9.7.1 version - “Save this Order before making any updates. This operation will enable calculations through the new enhanced Order workflow. Such Orders should be managed carefully.”
• Since new columns have been introduced in the database for Quotes, the information in the new columns will not be available for existing Quotes after an upgrade from a previous version. In order to migrate old Quotes, it is necessary for admin users to either
  • Cancel the Quote and create a new Quote request (recommended)
    OR
  • Open/manage the Quote and Save the changes so that the real-time values are saved. Then the new calculation workflow can be used for further updates

Important: 

• In this scenario, when an admin user clicks the Save button, real-time data will be checked for the shipping method associated with the User Profile and Store, shipping amount, tax rate, and tax amount and accordingly all the Quote values will be re-calculated, and saved. This could increase or reduce the Quote Total. 
• The following notification message will be displayed on the Manage Order screen respectively for Orders placed before the project is upgraded to the 9.7/9.7.1 version - “Save the Quote before making any updates. This operation will enable calculations through the new enhanced Quote workflow. Such Quotes should be managed carefully.”
• If there are any pending or in-progress Returns, the Returns should be either
  • Rejected first, the changes should be saved in the respective Orders (for which Returns were created) and then again Return requests should be  created (recommended)
    OR
  • Approved first and then the Order should be saved (only if admin users want to make new changes in Order or want to create a new Return).

Important: 

• In this scenario, the Return Summary will be calculated based on the real-time values.

No Changes In Pending Orders

The calculation changes and additional data-saving changes that are made for Orders are not complete for Pending Orders, therefore the Pending Orders should be managed knowing that calculations could change when converting a Pending Order to an order.

Important: 

• If Pending Orders are placed, it is important to make sure that no discounts are available and/or Handling Charges are not associated with Shipping Methods, otherwise, when Pending Order is placed, the Handling Charges and distributed discount amount will not be saved against the Pending Order.
• The Pending Order conversion to Order functionality will work as-is, however, when a Pending Order is converted to Order, only the available details will be saved against the Order. Therefore if discounts and/or Handling Charges are not associated with Pending Orders then the details saved against the Order will be correct. In order to create Returns for such Orders, it will be important for admin users to make sure that the line item-wise Shipping amount is manually saved against every line item before Return is created, otherwise, no Shipping Amount will be available in the Return Summary. This is because when Pending Order is created, only the complete Shipping amount gets saved in DB and not the line item-wise Shipping Amount.
  
  

Note:  It is recommended to upgrade the Znode 9.7.1 version when available to use the Approval Routing feature for Pending Orders.

Vertex Integration Enhancements

• If the Tax type applied to the order gets changed due to any recalculations then also order details will be available in the previously associated Tax accounts.
• Purge Data After Export Tax field should be unchecked in the Tax Journal Export Report page in the Vertex account otherwise Znode application will try to mark old records as rollbacked records, but due to unavailability, this will log an error in Znode Error Logs.
• New tax price changes will reflect in the Vertex account only when Tax Journal is exported and the old changes will be rolled back.
• In order to see tax price changes reflected in the Vertex account in reports, the following steps need to be performed:

  • Export a Tax Journal

  • Create a new report

• Active tax price means the latest tax price saved against the order and Transaction Status=Active means that the respective tax price is the active tax price. In order to see the active tax price, the Transaction Status = Active filter can be added to the reports.

Security Changes In Payment API

The following new keys are added to the web.config file to prevent Payment API to be accessed from unidentified sources:

• EnableSwagger: This key can be used to enable or disable the Swagger
• CORS_Domains: This key can be used to provide Payment API access to only specific admin and web store URLs
• ZnodePrivateKey: This key is added so that the values from admin and web store keys can be compared with the value-added for the key available in the Payment API so that access can be provided to applications whose key values match the key value available for the Payment API

It is essential to make sure that the appropriate values are set for these keys otherwise the payments will not work.

Default Theme Deprecation

The Default (Fine Foods) theme has been deprecated and removed from the solution from Znode 9.7.

This will provide ease in creating and managing return requests for both types of users from the admin application.

[ZPD-12943] - Return Creation For Guest Users From Web Store

Enhancements

[ZPD-10949/ZPD-12660/ZPD-11180/ZPD-11181/ZPD-11182/ZPD-14423/ZPD-14334/ZPD-12654/ZPD-6943/ZLMC-719/ZPD-9751/ZLMC-1277/ZPD-11867/ZLMC-1574] Changes In Order and Return Calculations

Administration / Shopper Experience

The following new changes are introduced for Discount, Shipping, and Tax calculations for Orders and Returns so that the Orders and Returns can be managed and processed easily:

Line Item Calculations

• When Order is created, the following information from the respective product(s) will be saved against the Order and the same will be used for future Order and Return calculations
• Product’s unit price
• Product’s tiered-price
• Bundle products included quantities for each child product
• Product’s Out Of Stock Options Value

Discount Calculations

• When a Discount (promotion or coupon) will be applied to an in-progress or existing Order, the Discount Amount will first be distributed among the line item items (if it is an Order discount) and then only the next new discount will be applied. This flow will ensure that the next Discount Amount does not exceed the remaining Line Item Total because the previously applied Discount Amount will be subtracted from the initial Line Item Total for calculation purposes. Similar will be the case for SubTotal.
  Note: The Order and Line Item Discount will be given the preference based on the sequence they are applied and the CSR Discount will always be given the last preference.
• When any changes are made to the Order that affects the Order Summary calculations, the Discount Amount(s) saved in the DB when the Discount(s) (promotion or coupon) was applied will only be used for calculations instead of the real-time values and limitations (except for the case when a Discount is applied). The same values will then be used when a Return is created or managed. This flow will ensure that changes made to the Discounts from the admin application do not reflect in the available Orders or Returns where the respective Discount(s) are used.

Shipping Calculations

• Shipping, Shipping Discounts, and Handling Charges will be saved separately so that respective values can be used as and when required.
• The Shipping Discounts will be calculated only on the Shipping amount.
• When any changes are made to the Order that affects the Order Summary calculations, the Shipping, and Handling Charges saved in the DB against the Order will only be used for calculations instead of the real-time values and limitations (except for the case when a Shipping Method or Address(es) is changed). The same values will then be used when a Return is created or managed. This flow will ensure that changes made to the Shipping Method from the admin application do not reflect in the available Orders or Returns where the respective Shipping Method is used.
• Admin users will now be able to edit line item Shipping amounts.

Tax Calculations

• When any changes are made to the Orders or Returns which affect the Order Summary or Return Summary calculations, the Tax Rate used on the Order Creation Date will only be used for calculations instead of the real-time rates available for the respective Tax. Also, the values of Include Shipping in Taxes and Calculate Tax on Discounted Amount settings will be saved when the order is created so that the same can be considered when Tax amount is recalculated for Orders or Returns. This flow will ensure that changes in real-time Tax rates do not reflect in the available Orders or Returns where the respective Tax is used.

Voucher Calculations

• The voucher will now be considered as a payment method, therefore the Order Total and Return Total displayed in the Order Summary and Return Summary sections will be exclusive of the Voucher Amount
• Vouchers will now be part of Returns, therefore now, when a Return is Approved, if there is a Voucher Amount available in the Order, it will get associated with the Return.  This flow will ensure that first the refund is processed for the Voucher and then to the online payment source.
  Note: Admin users will have to manually refund the Voucher Amount into the Voucher(s), automated provision is not available.

[ZPD-14311/ZLMC-2300] - Changes In Order Eligibility Criteria For Return

Administration / Shopper Experience

Earlier, the maximum number of days from which any Order is eligible for Return was checked from the Order Creation Date. With this release, the eligibility will directly be checked for the line items, therefore if any Order line item status is Shipped, then the maximum number of days from which the line is eligible for return will be checked from the line item Ship Date and if the Order line item status is Submitted, then the maximum number of days from which the line item is eligible for return will be checked from the Order Date.
Note: In a scenario when the Ship Date is not available, the application will consider the Order Date.

[ZPD-12817] - Cancelling Line Items From Order

Administration / Shopper Experience

Admin users and customers (shoppers) will now be able to cancel the entire line item or certain line item quantities from an Order by creating a Return for such line items.

A new status Submitted is now allowed for line items to be eligible for cancellations.

[ZPD-13311] - Changes In Quotes (Email Templates And Data)

Administration / Shopper Experience

The following new changes are introduced for Quotes so that Quotes can be managed and processed easily:

• The details regarding products in Quotes are included in the following existing Quote email templates:
• Quote Request Acknowledgement Notification For Customer
• New Quote Request Notification For Admin
• Quote Converted To Order Notification For Customer
• Admin users and shoppers will now have the ability to view the original Unit Price and Shipping Price of line items in Quote along with the latest updated Unit Price and Shipping Price from the admin application and web store.
• The following will be saved and displayed separately for all the Quote screens in the admin application and web store:
  • Shipping
  • Handling Charges

Important: Since the Tax amounts have to be submitted to the Tax Service (Avalara/Vertex) when the order is created, therefore when a Quote is converted to an Order, the Tax amount will be recalculated and saved against the Order. Therefore when the Quote is being converted to Order, if the Tax Rate is changed then the Tax amount displayed for Quote and the respective Order will be different. The same is not the case for the Shipping amount.

[ZPD-12983] - Changes In Quote, Order, And Return Receipts

Shopper Experience

The following changes have been made in the Quote, Order, and Return Receipts on the web store:

• The value of the Job/Project Name is included in the Quote Receipt
• The value of Order Status and Order Number is included in the Order Receipt
• The value of the Return Status and Return Number is included in the Return Receipt
• The sequence in which the information is displayed is updated in the Quote Details, Order Details, and Return Details sections.

[ZPD-13882/ZLMC-2055] - Bundled Product Enhancements

Administration / Shopper Experience

Admin users will now have the ability to manage and import the quantities of included products (child products) per bundle. Therefore, when a bundled product is ordered or returned, the inventory of included products will be deducted or restocked according to the included quantities.

The UI of the Bundled Product Details page has also been enhanced to provide a more user-friendly experience to the customers (shoppers). 

[ZPD-11634] - New Znode Admin Dashboard

Administration

The Znode admin application Dashboard screen now includes quick links, recent sales information, general statistics, Accounts list, all with quick filter options for ease of checking recent and real-time data directly from a single screen.
The elements and the data displayed on the Dashboard screen vary depending on the access levels of the role assigned to the logged-in admin user.

[ZPD-12296] - Vertex Integration Enhancements

Commerce

Unnecessary calls were initiated to Vertex API when certain changes were made to the order from the Manage Order screen. Also, the details were not properly maintained in Vertex for Znode orders. Therefore the integration code has been enhanced to maintain clear details regarding the orders in the Vertex account.

[ZPD-14130] - Cache Eviction

Shopper Experience

Znode provides a robust and extensible cache eviction framework that can be customized to efficiently evict data as needed within the application. The Cache Eviction code has been further optimized so that it can be customized easily to efficiently evict data, especially from multi-server environments.

[ZPD-14136/ZLMC-2231] - Hangfire Support For Scheduled Jobs

Commerce

Znode now supports the Hangfire framework that helps to create, process, and manage the scheduled background jobs. The main advantages of using Hangfire with Znode are:

• It can manage scheduled jobs from its own DB therefore tracking the source from where the job is being executed becomes easy
• It removes Znode’s task scheduler exe dependency to manage background jobs
• Znode’s task scheduler exe is not supported by the Azure server

[ZPD-15312/ZPD-15362] - Maxwell’s Theme Optimization

Commerce

Certain unnecessary calls were removed from Maxwell’s Hardware theme.

These changes will not only enhance the performance but will also reduce the loading time of the web store.

[ZPD-14131/ZLMC-2236] - Usage Of Output Cache Instead Of Donut Cache

Shopper Experience

Output Cache is now used instead of Donut Cache for the below actions:

• HomeContent
• TopLevelList - category list
• FooterContent
• CategoryContent
• BriefContent
• ContentPageContent
• DetailsContent

This change will prevent any rare scenarios in which certain sections of the Category pages could display blank data.

[ZPD-12416] - API Request Timeout Setting In Config File

Commerce

Users will now have the ability to manage the API Request Timeout duration from the web.config file.

[ZPD-14185/ZLMC-2248] - Encrypted Username For Reset Password Feature

Commerce

The Username used for resetting the password will now be sent in an encrypted format in the Reset Password URL.

[ZPD-12610] - Performance: Create Order Workflow (Order/Create API) and Calculate Cart

Shopper Experience

To improve the performance of the Create Order workflow the following changes were made:

• The unnecessary call to validate addresses using shipping/isshippingaddressvalid API is removed.
• Multiple calls used for getting shipping details are combined into a single call.
• The unnecessary calculation calls have been removed.

These changes will not only increase the performance but will also reduce the order creation time.

[ZPD-12623] - Removed Unnecessary Calls Made To  Calculate API From the Checkout Page

Shopper Experience

Certain unnecessary calculate calls that get initiated when the address was updated from the recommended addresses are removed.

These changes will not only increase the performance but will also reduce the order creation time.

[ZPD-14064] - Performance: Remove Items From the Cart

Shopper Experience

When a line item or all line items from a Cart are removed, then instead of deleting line items from the database, a dummy Cart ID will be assigned in the respective tables so that the time required to perform the removal of line items is reduced. This change will increase the performance of the Cart screen.

[ZPD-12361] - Performance: Cart And Checkout Pages

Commerce

Certain unnecessary inventory calls are removed from the Cart and Checkout pages. Also, unnecessary inventory calls are removed from the Add To Cart process.

These changes will not only enhance the performance but will also reduce the loading time of Cart and Checkout pages.

[ZPD-13538] - Performance: Shipping Methods Section On Checkout Page

Shopper Experience

The code for the Shipping Methods section of the Checkout page has been optimized. This enhancement has improved the performance of the Shipping Methods section of the Checkout page and has reduced the time required to fetch the relevant shipping methods.

[ZPD-12505] - Performance: Removed Unnecessary SEO Calls From the Cart Page

Shopper Experience

Certain unnecessary SEO calls are removed from the Cart page.

These changes will not only enhance the performance but will also reduce the loading time of the Cart page.

[ZPD-12556] - Performance: Removed Unnecessary Calls From Cart And Checkout Pages

Shopper Experience

Certain unnecessary calls related to downloadable products, state code, and GetUserApproverList API are removed from the Cart and Checkout pages.

These changes will not only enhance the performance but will also reduce the loading time of the Cart and Checkout pages.

[ZPD-12637] - Performance: Removed Unnecessary Calls Made To GetShoppingCart API

Shopper Experience

Certain unnecessary calls made to GetShoppingCart API are removed for scenarios when the product details page is opened and the product is added to the cart.

Removal of such calls has increased the performance of the product detail page and the add-to-cart action.

[ZPD-12518] - Performance: Removed Unnecessary portal/getportalapprovaldetailsbyid/{portalId}  API Calls From the Checkout Page

Shopper Experience

Certain unnecessary calls related to portal/getportalapprovaldetailsbyid/{portalId}  API are removed from the Checkout page and API cache and invalidation logic are implemented.

These changes will not only enhance the performance but will also reduce the loading time of the Checkout page.

[ZPD-13879] - Performance: Select Shipping Operation

Shopper Experience

An unnecessary call used to get initiated when a Shipping Method is selected from the  Checkout page. This identified call has been removed to improve the performance of the Shipping Method selection operation.

[ZPD-12611/ZPD-12859/ZPD-12862/ZPD-12886/ZPD-12891] - Performance: FedEx Shipping Estimates

Shopper Experience

Earlier, when there were multiple FedEx shipping options configured with the store, the application used to call FedEx service multiple times to get the estimates.

With this new implementation, the application will call FedEx service only once to get the estimates for all the FedEx shipping options configured with the store on the Checkout page.

[ZPD-12629] - Performance:  Znode_InventoryPromotionPricingBySKUWrapper Stored Procedure

Shopper Experience

Znode_InventoryPromotionPricingBySKUWrapper stored procedure has been optimized to improve the performance of all the screens from where this procedure is called.

[ZPD-13061/ZPD-13064] - Performance: Users List

Administration

The following changes are made to the Users list:

• The columns Account Code, Account Name, Role Name, and Department Name have been removed from the Users list data grid
• Enable/Disable action has been removed from the Users list data grid
• The Search will only use Username, Full Name, and Email ID to fetch the results
• The data for this list will be fetched from fewer DB tables

These changes have not only reduced the loading time of all the per-page data records but have also reduced the time required to get the searched/filtered results.

[ZPD-13062/ZPD-13063] - Performance: Orders List

Administration

The following changes are made to the Orders list:

• Email and Phone number columns are added in the ZnodeOmsOrderDetails table
• The columns Shipping Zip Code, Created By, and Modified By have been removed from the Orders list data grid
• New columns Email and Phone number are added in the ZnodeOmsOrderDetails table
• The Search will only use Order Number, Phone Number, and Email ID to fetch the results
• The data for this list will be fetched from fewer DB tables

These changes have not only reduced the loading time of all the per-page data records but have also reduced the time required to get the searched/filtered results.

Important: When the values of Email ID and Phone Number are updated from the Manage User screen, they will not get updated for the respective Orders in the Order table.

[ZPD-14671/ZPD-13197] - Performance: Quotes List

Administration

The following changes are made to the Quotes list:

• The Customer Name, Email ID, and Phone Number columns have been added to the Quotes table
• The Search will only use Quote No., and Email ID to fetch the results
• The data for this list will be fetched from fewer DB tables

These changes have not only reduced the loading time of all the per-page data records but have also reduced the time required to get the searched/filtered results.

Important: Since the values of Customer Name, Email ID, and Phone Number will not be fetched from the ZnodeUser table therefore when the Customer Name, Email address, or Phone No. of a user is updated, it will not reflect on the Quotes list, and Orders list when Quotes are converted to Orders.

[ZPD-14671/ZPD-13198] - Performance: Returns List

Administration

The following changes are made to the Returns list:

• An Order No. column is added
• The Order No., Customer Name, and Email ID columns have been added to the Returns table
• The Search will only use Order No., Return No., and Email ID to fetch the results
• The data for this list will be fetched from fewer DB tables

These changes have not only reduced the loading time of all the per-page data records but have also reduced the time required to get the searched/filtered results.

Important: Since the values of Customer Name and Email ID, will not be fetched from the ZnodeUser table therefore when the Customer Name and Email ID of the user are updated, it will not reflect on the Returns list.

[ZPD-13080/ZLMC-1861] - Performance: Product Data Import Stored Procedure

Administration

The value of the ProductImportBulk setting is increased from 500 to 15000. This has enhanced the performance of the product data import process.

[ZPD-13946/ZLMC-2127] - Performance: Edit Products

[ZPD-13585] - Performance: Manage User

Administration

A lightweight stored procedure is now used to save the changes made to the user account. This new implementation has increased the performance of Manage User operations and reduced the time required to save the changes.

[ZPD-13922] - Performance: Manage User Screen

Administration

The code for the Manage User screen has been optimized to enhance the performance of the Manage User screen operations and to reduce the time required to save the changes.

[ZPD-13537] - Performance: Login Page

Shopper Experience

[ZPD-13562] - Performance: Edit Profile

Shopper Experience

A lightweight stored procedure is now used to save the changes made to the user account. This new implementation has increased the performance of Edit Profile operations and reduced the time required to save the changes.

[ZPD-14101/ZLMC-2209] - Removal Of Clear Cache Call From Change Locale Flow

Shopper Experience

Earlier, when a locale was changed from the web store, the cache memory of the web-store server used to get cleared because of which the average time required to access the data for the first time after changing the locale used to increase. 

With this release, after changing the locale, the cache memory of the web-store server will not get cleared, thereby providing faster access to the cached data.
