GENERAL
With the releases 4.0.0-RC2 | 3.5.0 | 2.5.4 of the B2Bsellers Suite, we are closing the circle between stability and further development..
While we are fully focused on the 4.0 generation, versions 3.5.0 and 2.5.4 bring valuable improvements and bug fixes for those who are still running their B2B platform on older versions.
With the launch of the 4.0 generation in September, we have clearly focused on the next stage of development for the B2Bsellers Suite. 4.0 stands for more performance, a modernized architecture, and the basis for upcoming features.
At the same time, we want to continue to offer all customers who are still using the 3.X or 2.X line the stability and smooth user experience they are accustomed to. To this end, two accompanying updates, versions 3.5.0 and 2.5.4 are being released to optimize existing installations and make noticeable improvements in many areas.
With these releases, we are bridging the gap between progress and stability.
Focus on the future: Version 4.0.0-RC2
With 4.0.0-RC2 we are continuing our work on the new generation of the B2Bsellers Suite. This release is all about greater efficiency, data transparency, and smarter process support.
Reworked budget function: Budget management has been completely redesigned and now offers significantly more clarity, control, and flexibility. Companies can manage budgets centrally, adjust limits dynamically, and track usage in real time. We show how this works in practice in our Video about the new budget function.
Catalog and price list export (available upon request): Another new feature is the option to export product catalogs and price lists in various standard formats—individually upon request. Supported export formats: CSV, BMECAT, Datanorm 4, Datanorm 5 and EDIFACT Pricecat This makes it even easier to integrate product and price data into external systems and exchange it with trading partners.
Forecast: Approval process: The also announced approval process is currently under development and will be available with one of the upcoming updates.
Learn more about version 4.0.0! Update to version 4.0.0: minimum requirement Shopware 6.7 Version 4.0.0 of the B2B Sellers CORE Suite is available as a release candidate. Please note: this release is compatible only with Shopware 6.7 and requires at least this version.
As this is a release candidate version, changes or adjustments may still be made. We recommend that you first perform the update in a test environment before using it in productive systems with the official release 4.0.
