    • Rejection reasons – The approver can add a reason for rejecting a product, giving valuable feedback.
    • Approval and rejection notifications for mechandisers – The merchandiser receives a notification with the approval or rejection.

PIM Connector release

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the sync job between PIM and Configured Commerce stopped completely when it encountered an error. Now, if a product batch encounters an error, PIM divides it into smaller batches of 10 records each and processes them individually in sequence. If any batch encounters a problem, PIM reviews each record within that batch to find the exact error and disregard the problematic record. This continues until it processes all records successfully.
  • Resolved an issue where product descriptions for Danish (DK) and Norwegian (NO) languages were not syncing from Optimizely PIM to Configured Commerce, resulting in "No description available" messages
