Issues resolved in this release
Connectbase resolved the following issues in this release.
Internal Ref # | Issue/resolution |
|---|---|
QTO-1019 | Resolved an issue where approving or rejecting a CBM request resulted in a "Something went wrong" error in the UI, despite the approval being successful. Now, when a user approves or rejects a CBM request, no error message will appear, and the updated pricing will be correctly reflected in the quote without confusion. |
Supplemental updates since previous release
The following updates were released in hot fixes since the previous release.
Fixed an issue in the email templates feature where placeholder fields like {First_Name} were not populating correctly in the subject line. This resulted in incomplete or inaccurate subject lines, potentially causing confusion for recipients or breaking external integrations for customers relying on these placeholders. The fix specifically addresses two CBM templates (New Bid Management Request (External) and New CBM Request (Internal)), ensuring placeholders in their subject lines now populate as expected. Other templates will be addressed and fixed iteratively in future releases.

API Enhancements
We are please to announce that the Eurofiber France WAZA platform has been integrated as a Seller in The Connected world.

Issues resolved in this release
Connectbase resolved the following issues in this release.
Internal Ref # | Issue/resolution |
|---|---|
QTO-425 | Resolved an issue where P2P pricing configurations set up in the seller's instance caused location fallouts when quotes were run in the buyer's instance. However, quoting worked correctly within the seller's local instance. The fix ensures accurate P2P pricing across connected instances, preventing location fallouts in the buyer's CPQ. |
QTO-986 | Resolved an issue where a reseller defined margin was applied twice in the buyer’s instance for products the reseller sells but does not own i.e. connect to the buyer via sub-quotes. The fix ensures margins are applied correctly, aligning pricing between reseller and buyer instances. |
QTO-1038 | Resolved an issue that prevented users from editing CPQ rules due to errors or latency. Optimized functionality to allow users to edit rules within seconds. |

Issues resolved in this release
Connectbase resolved the following issues in this release.
Internal Ref # | Issue/resolution |
|---|---|
QTO-728 | Resolved an issue causing errors when uploading 500+ addresses to created deals. The system now processes address uploads smoothly. |
QTO-848 | Resolved an issue preventing buyers from placing orders in TCW due to the custom field 'Sub-domain' not being passed in the order payload to Neustar. The 'Sub-domain' field is now saved correctly during quote creation and included in the order payload. Buyers can place orders successfully, with the workflow status 'Ordered', provided the sub-domain and external integration credentials are correctly configured. |
QTO-882 | Enhanced location validation handling in Deals to ensure that Global Location Id, Cllicode, and LATA are correctly populated for addresses (present in My Locations), even with slight variations (e.g., "Road" vs. "Rd"). |

Issues resolved in this release
Connectbase resolved the following issues in this release.
Internal Ref # | Issue/resolution |
|---|---|
QTO-821 | This release addresses an issue where quotes were unable to retrieve pricing in the buyer’s quoting instance when the CPQ Rules under the CPQ Rule Chain with a 'Buyer' scope were active in the reseller’s instance and triggered via sub-quotes. |
QTO-847 | We've resolved an issue in CPQ where LATA-based geography pricing was not displaying correctly when configured alongside Default pricing. This was happening due to a missing LATA value while adding locations to a deal, causing the quotes to default to generic pricing. With this fix, CPQ will now accurately display LATA-specific pricing where defined, ensuring precise and consistent quoting based on geography. |
