Quote and Quick-charge Fixes
The following issues were fixed with this release:
While creating a quote for a one-time charge and adding a manual discount of 0%, the error message was not getting displayed as it is supposed to be, when the discount value is 0.
We've fixed the misleading error messages that are displayed while adding a quick charge when currency is not specified.
Visual Report Fixes
This release includes the following fixes:
The Entity Switch option available in Chargebee did not reflect in the RevenueStory dashboard earlier but this is now visible in the latter after this fix.
While building a Visual report, the field added to X-axis does not move to Break-by as it did earlier. The visualization type changes instead of the field position.
The Only metrics field available under values in Visual reports is not empty on the first-time view/sign-in as it appeared earlier.
Data source description text was updated for products, monthly component histories, and yearly component histories to help users better identify the correct data source for their needs.
Fixed subscription status color
We have changed the color of NON-RENEWAL and CANCELLED subscription status for a better user experience. The following are the pages and their fields that reflect these changes.
Subscriptions - Subscription Index > Subscription Info.
Customer - Customer Index > Subscription Info, Customer Details > Subscriptions Available.
Invoice - Invoice Details > Subscription Info.
Select currency and billing frequency by default
We have improved the user experience during a plan addition for a new subscription. The process of adding a new plan is no longer interrupted by repetitive tasks such as selecting a currency or billing frequency.We have done the following improvements.
Provided options for selecting only those currencies for which a price point is set.
If there is only one selection to be made in either currency or billing frequency then you can choose that option as default.
Fixed trial subscription with active state
Now you can see the active subscription info of a customer with multiple subscription statuses. This helps you and the support team to look through the details without navigating to the customer details page. We have done the following improvements.
On Customer Index Page, the first active subscriptions appear. This will minimize the cost of an operation such as a view subscription for a customer.
Sorting Order - Active - These subscriptions are charged based on the plan, add-ons, and billing period. - Future - Subscriptions that are going to be In Trial or Active state on the specified date. - In Trial - Active subscriptions that are in the In Trial state. - Paused - Active subscriptions that are temporarily stopped. - Non Renewing - Subscriptions that are scheduled to cancel and will no longer renew. - Cancelled - Inactive subscriptions that will no longer renew.
VAT and Usages-related Fixes
The following bugs were identified and fixed with this release:
An error message Billing country needed to validate the VAT number was being displayed during checkout, even after specifying the VAT number and Billing country.

User Interface Fix
Shipping addresses are being displayed incorrectly, that's not right!!! We noticed that the shipping address field was being populated incorrectly while switching between customer records. Also, page refresh errors caused accounts to display child accounts incorrectly. These issues are now resolved.
