Manage the Availability of NCE Billing Plans on Accounts
With this release, you can now manage the availability of Billing Plans (installments) offered by the New Commerce Experience (NCE) products with the introduction of a checkbox option called Enable Billing Plans. This option is offered per account and can be enabled or disabled from the Ordering options of a BSS account. This checkbox requires that all the NCE products, in your Microsoft catalog, must be updated with their corresponding Billing Plans.
Along with this new option for managing the availability of NCE Billing Plans per account come three related improvements. More specifically:
When an NCE product that offers Billing Plans is copied, then those Billing Plans are also copied along with the NCE product.
When an NCE product that offers Billing Plans is deleted, then those Billing Plans (for that product) are also deleted along with the NCE product.
All the subscriptions that have been purchased with a Billing Plan, can be seen on the Storefront subscription list page since a new column named Billing Plan has been added to display the Billing Plan of each subscription. The same column is added to the exported XSL results.

ConnectWise Improvement on Pushing Subscriptions As Agreements
Subscriptions can now be synchronized to ConnectWise as agreement additions. For this synchronization to work, the following steps must be followed:
Have an agreement per billing cycle and customer in your ConnectWise. If you are selling both monthly and annual subscriptions, you will need to create two agreements in ConnectWise for each new customer.
Link your BSS account with the ConnectWise agreements using the custom fields you need to create for this purpose.
Extend the ConnecWise additions by introducing new custom fields for keeping subscription details.
This preparation is necessary for our connector to be able automatically to create and update additions in ConneWise agreements for the subscriptions managed by our system.
Please check the Synchronizing Subscriptions with ConnectWisearchived page for more information.
Improvement on All Suspended Subscriptions
All suspended subscriptions in the BSS platform do not allow editing of their pricing or changing their quantity. This improvement applies also to Microsoft New Commerce Experience (NCE) subscriptions.

Improvement on Storefront for Right to Left Languages
