Prerequisites

• From Magento v2.4.4 with PHP v8.1, the following setting must be set to ‘Yes’ in order to make successful connection with the Infor ION API.

  

Highlight

• eConnect module is now compatible with Magento v2.4.4 and PHP v8.1

• Improved the way of fetching ODSAPR to update it as Item Price

• Product, Price, Category, AttributeSet, Customer Price, Shipment & Invoice creation(Order Module) will now get updated even when the SKU and ERP Item Number is different for a product

• eConnect will support the Open Shipments from M3 i.e. when the same shipment number is created for two different customer orders

Enhancements

• Improved the way of fetching ODSAPR from OPRBAS with the below things
  • ODSAPR will now be retrieved via EXPORTMI instead of using the below APIs
    • OIS017MI/LstPriceList
      • Reason:
        • LIST API will always bring the whole data including different PriceCodes & CurrencyCodes irrespective of what input data we pass.
        • Also, eConnect was always getting the first record from the LIST APIs result without checking the PriceCode and Currency values to fetch the FVDT value which is required to call OIS017MI/GetBasePrice.
        • Sometimes it fetches the FVDT value which doesn’t matches with the PriceCode and Currency specified in the Backend ‘Basic data configuration’
    • OIS017MI/GetBasePrice
      • Reason:
        • Due to the reason mentioned under the LIST API, we have moved to EXPORTMI which brings all the necessary data we need
  • Added the following additional validations in the EXPORTMI while fetching the ODSAPR

    • FVDT(Valid From Date must be equal to and lesser than the current date) & LVDT(Valid To Date must be greater than the current date

    • If the result contains more than one entry with a valid date then the ODSAPR will choose the entry with the nearest date

  • Added an additional field in the Backend Configuration to choose whether the MMSAPR value can be set as an item price if the ODSAPR value is 0 for the item

    • If Item Price field is selected as ‘ODSAPR’ then a new setting called ‘Fallback Item Price’ will appear

      • If the above setting is set to Yes, then the item price will be updated with MMSAPR from MITMAS only if the ODSAPR from OPRBAS is 0 or there is no valid price data for the item.

      • If the above setting is set to No, then the item price will be updated with ‘0.00’

• External tracking number information will get updated via MWS410MI/GetHead API since it is not coming under the Shipment BOD

• Re-aligned the eConnect-ION backend configuration settings in a user friendly way

Compatibility Fixes

• Resolved all the compilation errors thrown after running the command ‘setup:di:compile’

• Unable to read messages from the queue so removed the additional and unused abstract classes with null values used in the constructors

• Resolved the SQL error thrown while reading the SalesOrder/Shipment BOD from the Queue

• JDCD value will be sent as 1 in the order creation request when the ‘Ship Complete’ checkbox is checked while placing the order

• Resolved the PHP error ‘false to array conversion’ thrown in customer module

• Resolved the PHP warning(trying to access array on boolean) while trying to update customer price

Bug Fixes

• Customer Price will get displayed in the frontend based on the currency value specified for that store in the backend

• Errors shown in the phtml files(Order History, Order View, Invoice History) related to PHP Tag are now resolved

• Product’s visibility will get updated even when there are multiple sites available

• Handled the strict validations for all the PHP built-in functions used in eConnect

  • trim()
  • substr()
  • explode()
  • strtotime()
  • strpos()
