🚀 Major Highlights

• Differentiated discount management for appliance lines (#2644)
  
  We have introduced a new feature that allows applying supplier-specific discounts to appliance lines, ensuring greater flexibility and accuracy in pricing. Previously, discounts were applied uniformly based on the project header, which did not accommodate scenarios where certain product categories, such as appliances, require a different discount logic.

  With this enhancement, discounts for appliance lines are now calculated starting from the supplier’s list price, rather than using the general discount defined at the project header level. This approach ensures that pricing reflects the agreements and conditions specific to each supplier.

  
   Implementation of “sconsigliate” in variant master data (#2423)
  
  A new functionality has been introduced in the variant master data to allow variants to be marked as “sconsigliate” (not recommended). This feature provides greater control over the design and selection process, thanks to a new toolbar button that has been added to the variant master data interface. 

  This button enables users to easily flag a variant as “sconsigliata” and is visible in the classic forms and in dauFiltraVarianteGraficaNew.
  
  
   

• New print command !MERGEPDF
  
  Introduced a new command for PDF merging:

  !MERGEPDF 0 $(PDFFILE)

  
  • parameter 1 = 0: merge files in $(PDFFILE) and save to the current document
  
  • parameter 1 = 1: merge files in $(PDFFILE) and append them to the current document
  
  • parameter 2 = $(PDFFILE): list of pdf files to merge, separated by “;”
  
  Note: File names and paths must not contain spaces.
