New in the Yokohama release
- 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.
Deprecations
- The Subscription start and end dates have been deprecated starting with the Q2 2025 release. Use the Contract start date and Contract end date to calculate Terms for setting subscriptions for recurring products.
- The fields listed for the following tables are no longer supported.
Table name Fields Order (sn_ind_tmt_orm_order) Total monthly recurring price, Total annual recurring price Order line item (sn_ind_tmt_orm_order_line_item) Cumulative monthly recurring price, Cumulative annual recurring price, Subscription start date, Subscription end date Order line item (sn_csm_om_order_line_item) Total recurring price
