Invoice-related Fixes
The following issues and enhancements were released in this update:
An error Sorry, we couldn't find that resource was reported to be displayed during Checkout with zero value charge and coupon associated. This is fixed.
An e-invoice was found to be generated with the wrong dates. Fixed!
While creating a subscription and looking to schedule advance invoicing 30 days in advance till the subscription ends, an error You can bill up to 0 future renewals for this subscription. was reported to be displayed. The issue is fixed.
We've ensured that when an invoice is deleted, the corresponding line items are also deleted such that the invoices can be re-imported without changing the line item ids.
We've identified and fixed the inability to delete a custom field, due to its association with the invoice customization page.
For invoices that have a payment associated with the Mollie Gateway, the dunning banner was found to be blank. Fixed!
Manual Discounts Feature Release
The manual discount feature is released for Chargebee. With this feature, you can choose to manually update the discounts without the use of coupons. Learn more here.
Invoice and Credit Note-related Fixes
The following features were added and issues were fixed with this release:
We've introduced additional Credit Notes and Invoice settings to display fields such as the credit note number, service period, and invoice date on the PDFs.
Users were allowed to add blank shipping addresses by specifying just the label which was displayed erroneously while adding one-time charges and quick charges. We've verified and corrected this behavior to ensure that blank shipping addresses or specifying just the label are not allowed.
The invoice note option under customer records was found to not work for users with the sales manager role. This is now fixed!
The discount data specified in the e-invoice XML sent to the customer was found to be indicated in a non-compliant way. This is now fixed!
The void credit note functionality was found to not work when tried for a second time. Fixed!
Proration Updates
Any changes made to an existing subscription when a previous change was effected without proration credits will lead to the customer not receiving the benefits associated with the change. To ensure this information is made available, our user interface will display a pop-up confirming your selection with regard to the proration and advise of the impact of future updates.
HubSpot Quote-to-Cash integration
Includes the following releases:
Our new Customer Linking feature allows you to link multiple Chargebee customers to one HubSpot company.
Sync Rules for Customers - The integration allows you to configure how the customer data in Chargebee is synced to company and contact records in HubSpot.
Subscription to Chargebee using Checkout.com
Upon completing 3DS authentication in Checkout.com, the end customer will now be able to successfully subscribe to Chargebee.
Onboarding Experience Optimised
We have enhanced the onboarding experience in entitlements by updating the messages, labels, and descriptions appearing in the Entitlements screens. We have also optimized the hyperlinks to our support resources like Chargebee API Docs and Chargebee Help Docs.
Set FPOC/SPOC as blank
When a user is deleted from the system, a lot of data in the system continues to be associated with that user. This has a downstream impact on various features like views/reports, auto-engagement, collector queue, etc. Hence, once a user is deleted, for all the customers for which the deleted user is FPOC/SPOC, the FPOC/SPOC field should be set as blank.
Minor enhancements - Landing Page
The following enhancements have been made to the Landing Page:
Added Unutilised Credits at the company level to the top stats as we already have in the Receivables dashboard.
Replaced Payments Received & Payments Failed on the top stats with Payments Received(Sep) & Payments Failed(Sep) where (Sep) is the current month.
Changed the tooltip of Collectables For September under the Outstanding tab to 'Sum total of invoice amounts to be collected during the remainder of the month'.
Changed the tooltip of Payment Errors under Payment Failures tab to 'Sum total of invoice amounts that failed during the current month due to various errors.
Changed the header of Retries Exhausted under Payment Failures tab to Retries Exhausted to Dunning Exhausted and the tooltip to Sum total of invoice amounts that are due during the current month and have their retries exhausted.
Minor enhancements - Receivables View
The following enhancements are added to the Receivables view
Added Due for September metric in the top stats as per the placement order followed on landing page where September is the current month.
Replaced Payments Received & Payments Failed on the top stats with Payments Received(Sep) & Payments Failed(Sep) where (Sep) is the current month.
Other Fixes
Other fixes with this release include:
Pay Now button is now visible in the Client portal when accessed via mobile.
Set reminder - Notes Modal State was retained with previous action data which is now fixed so previous notes data will not be visible anymore if the user tries to create a new reminder.
Under Collector Queue, the email body sentence was breaking. This has been fixed.
Ignore phone numbers in CB Transformation - Since Chargebee customers are from the US, Europe, and other regions where the phone number format differs from India, our import contacts were failing. This has now been fixed.
Acc statement and Ledger: When there is no date filter or As on Date filter is used for a date range, the downloads were not showing any data. This has been fixed.
