Release date: March 27, 2024

Learn about new features, improvements, and bug fixes in this release.

What's New

Product Images

We continue to improve the functionality of product images and eliminate the remaining limitations. This time we have added support for two more features for product images in SAP ECC:

  • Now you can add product images to product variants in SAP ECC and show them in the Sana webstore.
  • We have added a modification date to product images. This means that Sana Commerce Cloud now tracks the date and time when a product image was changed and retrieves only those images that have been changed. This made updating product images from SAP ECC much faster.

Sales Order Attachments

When placing an order in the webstore, customers can now attach files. These files are saved to Sana Commerce Cloud, displayed on the order details page, and the link to the file is also saved to the sales order attachments in SAP ECC.

  • In a B2B scenario, business customers may need to attach some documents when placing an order, for example.
  • In a B2C scenario, this can be useful if you sell, for example, personalized products such as products with an image or engraving. Then your customers can attach a picture with an example of what they would like to see when placing an order.

Default Plant

We have extended the functionality of plants in SAP ECC by adding the ability to select a default plant.

This may be necessary if the material is kept in multiple plants in SAP ECC and:

  • If you retrieve plant data for the materials from the MARC table using the extra fields mapping. It is necessary to take the correct data for the selected (default) plant. Otherwise, the first available plant entry is used.
  • If you use the Estimated Shipment Date content element add-on. To show the estimated shipment date on the product details page for the default plant. If the default plant is not set, the estimated shipment date will be taken for the first available plant entry.

Sales Reports in Different Languages

Webstore customers can now download sales reports, such as order, delivery, and billing, in the webstore language of their choice.

This works if the print output of the sales document is available in the required languages in SAP ECC.
