New Feature

Samples

> My Samples

> Convert to Product

The current workflow didn't allow users to choose the purchase method (Asset or Memo) they want when adding new products to their assortment. The system was creating both purchase methods in their active assortment and polluting it. 

We improvised the user flow which enables users to choose the purchase method when converting a sample to products.

Linesheet users can choose the purchase method as per their commercial requirements when adding new products to their assortments.
Improvement Pricing Service A race condition affected the Pricing Service and caused multiple simultaneous updates to overwrite one another.

We updated the logic to ensure the events are processed in the correct order.

Users will not see a discrepancy in the data.
Improvement Pricing Service The amount of cache memory available in each server recently became insufficient, resulting in excessive memory paging which affected overall Pricing Service performance.

We increased the maximum cache size to alleviate the need to page to disk.

You should not notice any impact as a result of this change, other than the continued operation of the system.
Improvement

Linesheet

> Product Detail page

Running Lines

> Product Detail page

The decimal place formatting was not consistent across the application. We updated the decimal place formatting based on the field requirement. You will now see data fields consistently formatted across the application.
Improvement

Linesheet

> Product Detail page
> Top header section

 

The current terminology used for Prices and Metal Lock was confounding for users and didn't give the clarity required.    

We renamed the below headers:

  • “Metal Lock” to “Linesheet Metal Lock”.
  • Calculated Set Cost” to “Linesheet Calculated Cost”.
  • “Price” to “Linesheet Calculated Cost”
Users will have clear terminology and would not need to make any interpretation for these critical fields.  
Improvement

Running Lines
> Cost Submission page

The current terminology used for Prices and Metal Lock was confounding for users and didn't give the clarity required. 

We renamed the following Cost Submission headers:

  • “Your Price” to “Price”
  • “Total Cost” to “Total Price” (within the Cost Analysis Section)
  • “Discounted Total Cost” to “Discounted Total Price” (within the Cost Analysis Section)
Cost Submissions should now be easier to interpret for vendors.
Improvement

Linesheet
> Memo Product Detail page
> Top header section

This page did not specify Purchase Method Type for Memo prices. 

We added Memo at the top header. 

It has now become easier for buyers to discern between Asset and memo detail pages.
Improvement

Running Lines
> Search

Vendors could not use Customer Set Reference in Text Search field and filter all products for a given set.

We included Customer Set Reference in the search parameter.

Vendor can filter their Running lines using Set reference code.
Improvement

Linesheet

> Edit a product

> SKU

In Retail Data Management, when the SKU field was marked as a dependent, users could still input values in this field. We greyed out this field, preventing editing from within Atelier. Users will be safeguarded from entering data incorrectly.
Fix

Linesheet

> Edit Drawer

Users were only able to enter a limited number of special and non-Latin characters at the same time when editing the Labels field of a product from the Edit drawer on Linesheet. We updated the input validation logic to remove this restriction. You can now enter all special characters and non-Latin characters when editing the Labels field.
Fix

Settings

> Teams

Users who lacked the relevant permissions would see rollover messages when hovering over the Sample Order Permission or Product Order Permission columns found in teams settings. 

We updated the message logic to prevent this issue. You will no longer see messages not relevant to your scope of access.
Fix

Cost Submission

Internal data collisions are causing some incorrect Option names to be displayed. 

We remapped the Options internally to enforce unique Option keys.

Vendors will now always see the correct option names on their Cost Submissions.
Fix

Linesheet

Due to a discrepancy between databases, a specific product was not visible on the Linesheet.

We aligned the databases to resolve the issue.

Users can now view this product on their Linesheet.
Fix

Cost Submission

Due to data corruption, vendors could not edit Cost Submissions for some products. Data corruption was resolved. Now, vendors can edit the Cost Submissions and submit them to their customers.
