New Features

TimeDim_Sql table is used by processes such as OLAP Data Warehouses to convert Macola Dates into real dates and easily track Year, Quarter, Month, and other info on a date. There is a process in Macola to extend this table, but it has to be ran manually. We automated that process with a job.

When using BirdDog's Field and Entity system there are many cases where you want a field to be a drop down list populated from another table of information. Imagine you add a field named Color or Brand and you want to limit the list to a pre-defined set. Prior to this enhancement you could easily do this with Field Values. However, if you had the same field with the same list on multiple Entities you would have to duplicate the work of maintaining the Field Values list. With this enhnacement you can create an Enitity with the appropriate values and then reference it from as many different fields as needed.

Added support to email templates for fields.

Add support for displaying BirdDog fields from Cart and Cart Line on the cart and checkout pages.

Added a new property to cart, invoice and order to show the sub-total before a discount was applied.

The Magento ERP uses ISO 3166-2 codes instead of ISO 3166-3, and we were initially expecting the latter. A coding change was required to allow some data to pass successfully from Magento to the M1 ERP using our BirdDog Connector Sub-System.

Prior to this update, uploading item info to Magento via the BirdDog Connector Sub-System was an all or nothing choice. If you chose to upload it would upload and overwrite everything. Now you can, for example, maintain your description on Magento and tell the connecctor to still upload price.

Additional fields in the Customer and Ship-To imports were added; specifically, these imports added Start Date, Require PO, Search Name, Address3, and Tax Exempt Number for the Customer import and Address3 for the Ship-To import.

A column name in one of our imports needed to be changed.

When setting up an import from a directory, the last part of the service data is an email address to notify. This email, however, needed to be in the system as a User which is not immediately apparent. Now that User no longer needs to exist in the system, it will be auto-created if it doesn't exist.

In addition to the fields added above in 11490500, we also added this field on this import.
