Important information for upgrading Order Management to Australia

Before you upgrade to Australia, review these pre- and post-upgrade tasks and complete the tasks as needed.


Release	Release notes
Xanadu	Features introduced in the Xanadu release aren't supported in earlier releases of Order Management. If you’re upgrading from Order Management for Telecommunications and Media version 6.0 or earlier: Starting with the  Washington DC release, the  Monthly Recurring Charges  (MRC) and the  Non-Recurring Charges  (NRC) for product offerings and product attribute characteristics are no longer stored in the product offering data model. Instead, the MRC and NRC are stored in the Pricing data model in price lists and price list lines. If you want to upgrade your pricing information to use price lists after upgrading to  Washington DC, see the  Price Management Plugin (com.sn_csm_pricing) uptake for Telecommunications, Media, and Technology customers upgrading to Washington [KB1585863]  article in the Now Support Knowledge Base. After upgrading to the  Xanadu release, a fix script runs automatically to deactivate certain telecommunications list records that are no longer needed to resume the capture of an unfinished order. For more information on these records and using the former order capture process, see the  Deprecating Telco List for Order Capture [KB1586538]  article in the Now Support Knowledge Base. If you’re an upgrade customer who uses the contract start date and contract end date fields and has records, you can migrate those records to the latest data model by running the Migrate data from deprecated contract fields to new fields on Order and Order Lines scheduled job. This scheduled job must be manually executed by navigating to System Definitions > Scheduled Jobs. For more information on scheduled jobs, see Scheduled jobs.

New features

Between your current release family and Australia, new features were introduced for Order Management.


Release	Release notes
Xanadu	Add sales agreements to orders When an agent creates an order, the sales agreement associated with the account is automatically applied and the catalog is filtered with the agreement products and prices. Add business hours to Jeopardy Management tasks Admins can set planned task due dates, which are calculated based on business hours during weekdays in Jeopardy Management. Update specification versions Admins can perform a batch version update to a product inventory’s specification version. Add covered products to an order Agents can create covered products and modifications as part of an order capture to establish coverage relationships. They can also create change orders that remove sold products or install base items as covered products from entitlements and contracts. Order to Cash Operations Order Operations Case Management: Use the Order Operations Case Management application (com.sn_order_case) to create order cases that reference multiple line items, including orders and order lines. Agents can use these cases to process order-related services such as order changes, inquiries, and disputes. Case lines and workflows: Use the Case lines and workflows application (com.sn_case_line) to reference multiple line items on a case record, including orders or order lines, invoices or invoices lines, contracts, and sold products.
Yokohama	Business Portal for order case management Enable your customers to create cases for common order-related issues such as delivery delays, quantity disputes, and other routine inquiries directly using the Business Portal, ensuring faster issue resolution and improved customer satisfaction. This application is a feature of Customer Service Management and the Order to Cash Operations functionality for Order Management. Hierarchical view of order line items Enable order agents and order managers to use the hierarchical list view to view parent and child relationships within order lines. Price adjustment details for order lines Provides order agents and order managers the visibility into the price adjustments applied at each step of the pricing plan, including a detailed breakdown of all adjustments applied to the unit base price and unit list price to see how the unit net price is derived. Multi-instance product offering configurations Create multiple instances of a child product offering in orders to generate a custom configuration for each product offering instance. When a child product offering has a quantity greater than 1, agents can clone or split a child product offering to create multiple product offering instances so that each quantity has its own configuration. Transient products Add transient products, which are defined as one-time-use products or services, to new orders. Sold product and product inventory records are created but not maintained for transient products. Move, Add, Change and Disconnect (MACD) actions are not supported for transient products. Business Portal for Order Management Use the Business Portal to view product catalogs, select product options, and place orders. Customers can also view their order status using the Business Portal. Cases for multiple invoices Create cases for multiple invoices or for specific invoice lines. Agents can reference multiple invoices or invoice lines as case line items on an invoice case record. By using case line items, agents can track multiple issues for the same invoice case and resolve the issues in each case line item independently before resolving and closing the order case. This application is a feature of Customer Service Management and the Order to Cash Operations functionality for Order Management. Add subscription pricing to an order Enable order agents and order managers to access and view key calculated metrics such as monthly recurring price and annual recurring price. The subscription pricing fields are automatically calculated based on contract start date and contract end date. These metrics enhance revenue reporting and help you to better understand recurring revenue dynamics.
Zurich	Move order The move order helps agents to perform move journey that requires location change, the location and change of attribute values, the location change and add or delete the product. Pricing Adjustments for order line items Enables order agents to quickly view, add, and edit manual price adjustments for order line items directly from the list view, reducing clicks and streamlining the process. This new experience makes it easier for order agents to enter manual price adjustments and provides a holistic view of both automatic and manual adjustments. Summarization for Order Management Summarizes complex orders across products, services, and fulfillment tasks. This helps agents quickly understand status, take the right actions, and avoid navigating fragmented views. This results in easier next steps and improved productivity. For more information, see the Now Assist for Order Management release notes. Support for complex characteristics for orders Take advantage of the following complex characteristics for orders: Define complex characteristics for product offerings and specifications using object structures, data arrays, and other data input types such as String, Integer, Date, DateTime, and Decimal. For more information, see Defining characteristics and options. Define compatibility, decomposition, and attribute propagation rules based on conditions that use characteristics at any level of a complex attribute hierarchy. For more information, see Create a compatibility rule, Decomposition rules, and Domain order. Order header discount Provide order agents with the ability to apply discounts across multiple order lines with a single action through an order header discount feature. This feature streamlines discounting workflows, improves pricing consistency, and helps speed up order processing for large complex deals.
Australia	Delta pricing on orders Calculate pricing and quantity changes during MACD activities and renewals by deriving deltas from existing products, contracts, or purchases. This improves accuracy when processing order modifications. Defaults contract type and contract line type when empty, based on the order and line actions being performed. Adds delta pricing–related header and line fields, along with pricing adjustment rule identifiers and conditions, and supports mapping these fields across order, product instance, and order copy flows. Price and quantity ramps on order line items View price and quantity ramps directly on order line items to model planned changes over time within a single order, providing visibility into pricing changes without managing multiple orders. For more information, see the Product Catalog Management and Pricing Management release notes Manage order updates with Now Assist Use a conversational AI assistant to improve order triage and resolution.
