What's New

Sales Document Line Extra Fields

In Sana Commerce Cloud 1.118, we introduced the ability to control the visibility of sales document line fields. At that time, webstore administrators could only manage the visibility of a default set of fields depending on the sales document, such as Item No., Title, Status, Shipment date, Price, Quantity, UOM, Quantity shipped, Quantity invoiced, and Outstanding quantity. However, other sales document fields from the ERP system couldn’t be added to the sales document lines in the Sana webstore.

With this new Sana release for SAP S/4HANA, that has changed. Webstore administrators can now add additional ERP fields to the sales document lines, allowing them to modify the sales document details shown in the Sana webstore to better fit their business needs.

To display specific fields in the Sana webstore, you must first enable this functionality in the Webstore Optimization window of the Sana connector in SAP S/4HANA.

You must also map the necessary fields in the Field Mapping Sana app, on the Extra Fields Mapping tab, in the SAP Fiori Launchpad. We have added new master data types there to support sales document lines with additional fields.

Note that this feature also requires Sana Commerce Cloud 1.124 or later.

Tax Number Formats

Tax number is the unique number that identifies a taxable person or business that is registered for tax.

We have added support for country-specific tax number formats in SAP S/4HANA.

This means that tax numbers entered by customers during registration, checkout, or by a sales agent creating a new prospect are now automatically validated against the correct format based on the selected country.

Benefits:

Ensures accuracy of tax number entries, reducing errors.
Saves time for both customers and merchants by catching formatting issues early.
Supports compliance with local tax regulations.
Improves data quality in SAP S/4HANA, enabling smoother order processing and invoicing.

This update enhances customer experience and streamlines financial operations for accountants, making tax-related workflows more reliable and efficient.

Plants and Storage Locations: Addresses

A small enhancement has been made to improve how addresses are handled in the multi-location stock functionality. If a storage location does not have its own address specified, the system will now automatically use the address of the plant to which that storage location belongs.

Sana Commerce Cloud relies on the storage location’s address for certain features. However, in many businesses, these addresses are not filled in within the SAP system. To ensure consistency and avoid issues, Sana Commerce Cloud will now fall back to using the plant’s address when the storage location’s address is missing.

Free Goods: Parent Material

We’ve enhanced free goods by specifying to which material they belong. Free goods are extra materials added to the shopping cart automatically when a certain material is purchased, or as a bonus. These materials cannot be removed or edited by customers in the shopping cart.

As a result, the free goods will now be visually grouped with their parent material in the shopping cart, checkout, and order confirmation e-mails, providing a clearer and more intuitive experience for customers, because earlier free goods were always displayed at the end of the list in the shopping cart. Now, they appear directly below their associated parent material.

In the order overview at checkout, there is no horizontal separator between the parent material and the free goods that are linked together.

Filter Contacts Based on Customer Account Group

Previously, the system did not verify whether the contacts sent from SAP S/4HANA to Sana were linked to customers relevant to the webstore. As a result, some invalid or irrelevant contacts were indexed by Sana Commerce Cloud.

While the system already checks which contacts are assigned to which customers, an additional improvement has been made - SAP S/4HANA now only returns contacts linked to customers that are relevant for the Sana webstore, based on the customer account group configured in the webstore settings in SAP S/4HANA.

Other Changes

Fields mapping: Changed the logic where no fields were returned to Sana Commerce Cloud if entity fields were not mapped in SAP S/4HANA. The logic has been updated so that when fields are not mapped, all entity fields are now returned to Sana Commerce Cloud.
Guest checkout: When buyers place an order without registration (guests), their e-mail address is now checked in SAP S/4HANA. If a customer of a guest type with the same e-mail already exists, the system will reuse that record instead of creating a new one. This prevents duplicate guest accounts and helps keep customer data clean.

Previously, in Sana for SAP S/4HANA, this validation didn’t work as intended - SAP S/4HANA didn’t check whether a customer of a guest type with the same e-mail already existed. This behavior has now been fixed, and the process works as expected.
Product availability dates: The calculation of product quantities in open purchase orders and production orders has been improved. Previously, open order lines with past dates were incorrectly included. These lines are now excluded, and only lines with current and future dates are considered.

Additionally, confirmed planned orders were not previously factored into product quantity and availability date calculations. They are now included to ensure more accurate product availability results.
