Identifying the latest B2B features

SAP Commerce Cloud composable storefront now enables B2B buyers (as well as sales) to create and manage quotes, providing a streamlined mechanism for negotiating the final price of an order. This robust feature enhances the flexibility and efficiency of the B2B purchase process, allowing buyers/sales to easily submit quotes and engage in price negotiations directly within the platform.

To optimize system performance, a new toggle:

1
toggle.quoteWithoutCreatingNewCart.enabled

has been introduced. When activated, this feature ensures that no empty cart is created while retrieving quote details, thus enhancing the efficiency of the quote API. This is particularly beneficial for maintaining streamlined operations and reducing unnecessary data overhead.

Featuring a new toggle:

1
toggle.cart.quoteStatusValidation.enabled

this update ensures that the quote's linked cart can only be edited when it is in certain predefined statuses. With the toggle set to true, this functionality supports merchants in working more efficiently by preventing unauthorized or erroneous changes to quotes during critical stages of the sales process.

For precise financial reporting and analysis, a new field sapSubtotalExcludingOrderLevelDiscount can now be returned during quotation. This field shows the subtotal of an order excluding any order-level discounts. Complementing this, a feature toggle

1
toggle.quoteSubtotalExcludingOrderLevelDiscount.enabled

allows users to enable this functionality as needed, ensuring accurate and transparent financial data is provided during the quotation process.
