What's New

Customer Item Numbers

In some cases, your customers may not be familiar with the item numbers used in your SAP Business One system, which can hinder their ability to find products in the Sana webstore. They prefer to search using their own item numbers for convenience.

We are happy to introduce our new Customer item numbers feature, which you can use to address this challenge. All you need to do is to link your item numbers in your SAP Business One system to your customers’ or vendors’ item numbers and enable the Customer item numbers setting in Sana Admin. Then, both item numbers will be shown in the webstore. This capability enhances user experience by allowing customers to easily search and find products in the Sana webstore using familiar item numbers, streamlining their purchasing process and improving overall satisfaction.

The customer item numbers are shown wherever there are item numbers in the webstore, for example, on the product details pages, product list pages, in the shopping cart, checkout, order details, etc.

Sales Order Line Comments

We’re excited to introduce a valuable enhancement to our online shopping experience: item-specific comments!

Previously, customers could only leave a general comment for the entire sales order. With this enhancement, they can add personalized comments for each item in the shopping cart. It brings greater clarity and a more personalized shopping experience with detailed instructions for each product, ensuring your customers’ needs and preferences are met. Item-specific comments also streamline order fulfillment and reduce the risk of miscommunication.

Just like with the general sales order comments on a header level, item-specific comments are stored directly in the sales order lines within SAP Business One.

We hope this enhancement improves your customers’ shopping experience and makes it even more convenient.

Stock in Shopping Cart and Checkout

We’ve introduced a new feature to bring more transparency to your shopping experience. When customers add products to the shopping cart and proceed to checkout, Sana Commerce Cloud can show how many units of an item are available in stock. This ensures customers receive accurate availability information during checkout.

For more information, see Stock Presentation.

Subscription Order Indicator

Sana Commerce Cloud allows customers to automatically create recurring orders using subscriptions. This functionality has proven highly popular, and we are continuously enhancing it in both the Sana Commerce Cloud core product and SAP Business One. In our latest release, we’ve added an indicator that distinguishes between orders created manually by customers in the Sana webstore and those generated automatically based on subscriptions.

This enhancement increases sales manager satisfaction by providing clear visibility into the origin of each order, whether manually created or based on a subscription.

With this change, each sales order automatically created from a subscription also includes a link to the associated subscription in the Sana webstore.

Invoices have a field in the header that indicates whether the original sales order was created from a subscription.

Payment Costs Based on Percentage

In Sana Commerce Cloud 1.98, we released payment costs based on percentage. Previously, it was possible to set up only the fixed amount payment costs. This change introduced a flexible and transparent way to calculate payment costs based on the percentage of the transaction amount. It was designed to provide a more intuitive and accurate method for handling payment costs, ensuring a smoother payment experience for your customers.

With this release, Sana Commerce Cloud for SAP Business One now supports payment cost calculation based on percentage.
