During this period we have primarily worked with admin "facelift" of the UI, and some new interesting features as well.
All these features are only released to Norce Commerce, not to the older Norce [Storm] platform.
Price list rounding has always been one of the few features hidden away, not having a UI for super users to handle themselves. So this is a welcomed feature, we hope.
Under Pricing -> Settings -> Rounding tab, you can check your rounding and update it as you will by youself.
The feature is documented here: Rounding
Note: This feature is still in preview and not activated yet in production
Many clients has the need to show same sale price for different markets, even when the VAT rate is different. This is common in EU for example. This has been already been possible by inheriting between two price lists, of the same currency (EUR), but with different sales areas. Since Norce commonly inherits exluding VAT prices, you had to fix this yourself by using a "Use standard price %" price rule with a rebate that makes the sale price be the same.
Now, Norce will allow you to inherit PriceSale (PriceStandard), PriceRecommended, PriceCatalog, based on the including VAT price. This is a setting on the client level and will only change the inheritance for prices. Cost information is not changed and will still be inherited excluding VAT.
To make it easier for ERP Integrations specifically regarding VAT calculation we have added two new fields to the OrderRequest message that is sent with the OrderNotification webhook. These are
- UnitPriceOriginalVat, on the items and
- UnitPriceVat on the PriceList collection under each item.
With these additions it is easier to resolve the VAT amount and the part of the rebate that was VAT, which might be important later on in accounting.
Added cropping whitespace to our image server. Read more about it here.
When using add or select product effects you can now choose "BestPrice", where you earlier only could choose a specific price list or default price list (which is the primary price list on the application).
BestPrice will instead automatically find the best price in the current context the promotion is used in and choose that specific price list. This is usually the lowest between the public price lists but can also be any other price lists passed in from the pricelistseed in the context.
Several additions in the Admin UI has been released. Here are a few.
