Pimics PIM

Pimics PIM 14.0.2

Bugfixes

Identification Title Release Note Summary
#31490 Validate Publication Structure Type for Sana on the Publication Card You can no longer set up a Sana publication with the unsupported Single Item Group publication structure type; this is now validated directly on the Publication Header and Publication Channel.
#37574 Publication Group: Include Feature values is not used The Include Feature Values field on Publication Group has been marked as obsolete and is no longer visible on the card.
#40150 Product Feature, add column Value Set Description The Product Feature list can now show an optional Value Set Description column, making it easier to identify which value set a feature uses.
#40880 Number field of Product Feature does not link to class The Number field on a Product Feature line now links to the Class table when the line references a class, matching the existing links for Feature and Feature Group.
#41180 API Translation - Overtakes 1st translation line for Item description Pimics finds, if language is not specified API Translation now checks that a language code is set on the Publication Header instead of always using the first translation line found when no language is specified.
#41571 Repository actions fail if document repository differs from default repository Actions such as Move to Default Repository, Refresh Metadata, and Refresh Thumbnail now work correctly when a document's repository differs from the default repository setup.
#43198 SharePoint - function allowing to select specific file and provide it You can look up and select a specific file from a SharePoint site, library, and folder directly, instead of only browsing folder contents.
#43443 Align Code Duplicity checking for Product Feature Element and Inherit Path The duplicate-code check for Product Feature Element and Inheritance Path no longer raises an error when only viewing structure (for example, the Allocation Tree or FactBoxes); it now applies only when inheritance of the product feature itself is evaluated.
#43797 Catalog Group still referenced in Standard Catalog Group after deletion Deleting a Catalog Group now clears the Standard Catalog Group reference on its child categories, preventing invalid references from remaining after deletion.
#43802 Item delete blocked by certification update Deleting a certified item with Product Features no longer fails because deleting the features triggers a certification update that blocked the item delete.
#43921 Gallery action "Set as main picture" doesn't trigger change in "Picture Document ID" Using Set as main picture in the picture gallery now correctly updates the Picture Document ID on the parent record.
#43922 Gallery action "Set as main picture" is not enabled The Set as main picture gallery action is now enabled for all non-main pictures after adding multiple pictures at once.
#43923 Text deletion - Inherit set as delete, but choice dialog is shown Deleting a Description Text now respects the Inherit Delete = Delete setting in Catalog Setup instead of still asking you to choose between stop, keep, or delete.
#43928 Description Text deletion on Item raises choice dialog for deletion - copy/delete Deleting a Description Text on an item no longer shows an unnecessary copy/delete choice dialog when there are no related records to consider.
#43955 Feature Value Type is not correctly filled on Publication Line The Feature Value Type on a Publication Line is now correctly set to Range Numeric for features of that type, instead of Number.
#43964 Cross refference delete error Deleting a Cross-Reference no longer triggers an unnecessary copy/delete confirmation dialog when the entity has no inheritance set up.
#44039 Bulk Edit Items no longer in Pimics Base The Bulk Edit Items action is available again without requiring the Pimics Beta application area.
#44107 Allow page action "Reorganize Publication Line" for custom entities Custom publication line types, such as Picture Group, can now be included in the Reorganize Publication Line action through a new integration event, instead of being limited to standard entities.
#44139 Allocation Line - can't add different Line Type once already one is set You can now change the Line Type of an existing allocation line instead of it staying locked to the type used on the first line.
#44149 Pre-Translate not working for Item Descriptions Pre-Translate for item descriptions now runs correctly instead of the dialog closing without applying any translation.
#44187 Picture not found Fixed a Picture Document has not been found error that could occur when linking entities in an allocation structure due to an incorrect Picture Document ID reference.

Pimics PIM 14.0.1

Release date: 28.08.2026

Bugfixes

Identification Title Release Note Summary
#40153 Allocation Tree doesn't show newly added top-level elements Newly added top-level entities now appear immediately in the Allocation Tree without requiring the page to be reopened.
#40158 Allocation Tree does not always show main picture The Allocation Tree now consistently displays the main picture for the selected entity.
#40950 Pimics Users: Create Self does not recognize delegate admin Create Self now correctly recognizes delegate administrators.
#41336 Description title not updated when changing Description Class Changing the Description Class now updates the Description Title when the title has not been manually changed.
#41998 Rule action convert units: parameter selection appends to existing value without separator Selecting To Feature ID values in the Convert Units rule action now replaces the previous selection instead of appending to it.
#42904 Value ID is not assigned when entering numeric/boolean feature values manually Manually entering a numeric or boolean feature value that matches a predefined value now assigns the corresponding Value ID.
#43724 FeatureMatrix: Button 'Product Features' throws error The Product Features action on the Feature Matrix now opens correctly without a Type can't be empty error.
#43729 Error because of outdated record when saving picture order Saving a changed picture order no longer fails because of an outdated catalog document record.
#43766 Parent Group Type and Code not cleared when clearing standard group field Clearing a standard group now also clears Parent Group Type and Parent Group Code.
#43780 Value is always created for numeric, date and logical features Numeric, date, and logical feature values are no longer created automatically when no matching predefined value exists, preventing unnecessary PIMX Value records.
#43824 Rule list/card cannot be opened anymore when Update Field parameter "Type" is empty, but "Field No." is set Rule lists and cards can now be opened when an Update Field action has a field number but no type selected.
#43840 'The record is not open' when opening Bulk Edit Cross-References from page search Bulk Edit Cross-References is no longer available from page search without the required source record, preventing a The record is not open error.
#43881 Error when reorganizing items with existing publication price line without currency code Reorganizing items with legacy publication price lines that have no currency code no longer fails when the local currency is assigned.
#43893 Error when switching publication rule type to Hide Empty Group You can switch a publication rule to Hide Empty Group without receiving a dictionary error from leftover rule parameters.

Pimics PIM 14.0

Release date: 24.08.2026

New and updated features

Identification Title Release Note Summary
#8197 Copy publication You can copy an entire publication either into a new target publication or into an existing one without lines, instead of rebuilding structures manually. This update improves publication target selection and number-series handling, reducing setup effort for repeated publication variants while keeping channel configuration consistent.
#14694 DeepL - Ignore Tags, Using Glossary You can prevent selected product terms from being translated by using ignore-tag handling and support glossary-driven translation confirmation workflows. This update helps preserve product names in multilingual text and improves translation quality for long descriptions.
#24674 Set picture order easily You can reorder pictures in a dedicated UI workflow based on drag-and-drop style interaction instead of maintaining order values manually. The requested implementation uses a temporary working dataset and writes sequential order values back to Business Central after confirmation, including support for entity-specific column layouts and follow-up usability improvements.
#30403 Deleting of master data in Pimics You get a more structured deletion concept for Pimics master entities, focused on balancing user-friendly cleanup with dependency protection and clear user feedback. It adds safer handling for entities with related features, texts, pictures, and references so deletion is more predictable in complex data structures.
#31256 Issues with Synchronize Features to Attributes and consistency Feature-to-attribute synchronization is aligned to be more consistent, including linked translation synchronization behavior for attributes and attribute values. Synchronization now covers translation updates when sync settings change and when source feature/value translations are created, updated, or deleted, reducing long-term data drift between Pimics features and BC attributes.
#31794 Update Pimics' number series' "Last Used No." according to the existing objects You can update Pimics number-series state from existing records when migration or manual corrections bypass standard insert logic and leave Last Used No. inconsistent. A dedicated Catalog Setup action evaluates configured series and updates sequence continuity to prevent collisions when new records are created after imports or corrections.
#34898 E-Class Import E-Class import is improved to better support real datasets and practical usage. This includes hierarchy-constraint adjustments, identifier and search behavior for classification IDs, and validation for cloud and supplier-catalog scenarios so imported structures can be used reliably in operational processes.
#37628 Exchange PIM Pictures with Variants Variant-picture handling is extended for BC28 capabilities, including controlled overtake of media and synchronization between Pimics catalog documents and Item Variant thumbnail behavior. It also improves main-picture assignment and compatibility handling for variant-specific visual differentiation.
#38581 Mapping of Features Feature mapping introduces a mapped-value concept where Pimics feature values can be derived from fields on Item, Variant, or Catalog Item records instead of manual entry. It also improves source-of-truth behavior, fallback logic, and extensibility to keep mapped values synchronized while reducing repetitive maintenance effort on large assortments.
#40762 RegEx replacement support for rule action and import transformation RegEx processing is expanded from simple match extraction to full replacement scenarios for rule actions and import transformations. The specification adds a replacement parameter, scoped match behavior, whole-input replacement control, and upgrade-safe defaults so existing configurations remain stable while enabling advanced cleanup and normalization use cases in vendor-catalog and transformation pipelines.
#41553 Inheritance from Catalog Groups Inheritance behavior is extended for Catalog Group relationships, including Catalog Group to Catalog Group and Catalog Group to Chapter scenarios with texts, features, pictures, and related data. The defined scope includes page controls, alignment with default setup, and explicit prevention of circular inheritance loops to make inheritance usable in broader production structures.
#41631 Cross Reference entities with related data in API API behavior is adjusted so cross-reference entities can be consumed together with relevant related data in the beta/2.1 model without circular expansion problems. The update removes restrictive source filters, adds reference-type context to items/categories endpoints, and extends references with structural context fields to simplify integration.
#41685 Sana Commerce: Handle deleted data Deleted data handling for Sana integration is formalized across items, cross-references, media, and category-related outputs so update-index responses remain complete after removals. Publication-line change tracking is used to propagate affected-item updates and reduce stale storefront content when data is deleted or detached in Pimics.
#41866 Option to enable/disable Sana web service log You can control request/response logging for Sana web services to reduce high activity-log volume and disk consumption in large environments. The implemented scope introduces a setup flag in publication setup context for message logging decisions while preserving error logging, giving administrators operational control between diagnostics depth and runtime overhead.
#41906 Worksheets > Export Description Text: Export Text Translations with filter on Translation Type and Language Export Description Text now supports translation-focused filtering by adding filters for language and translation type. Base description text remains part of the export while translation selection becomes controllable, improving precision of multilingual export payloads for external processing.
#42066 Default inheritance and translate setup on existing items/nostock items after Pimics install Post-install setup now addresses existing items and non-stock items more explicitly, because default Catalog Setup flags alone do not retroactively apply to historical records. Assisted setup steps now support translation and inheritance initialization so customers can prepare existing datasets consistently after installation.

Bugfixes

Identification Title Release Note Summary
#43257 Custom Line Types are not handled using "Edit Publication Tree" Edit Publication Tree now correctly handles publication lines with custom line types, including their lookup and custom-data processing.
#43563 Empty nodes Sana category responses no longer contain empty Node elements when a category line is skipped.
#43617 Item delete error : update from certification (by delete allocation) Deleting a certified item with a parent Item Group no longer causes an outdated-record error when related allocation lines are removed.
#43637 Document inheritance Document inheritance now correctly supports category relationships, including enabling and disabling inheritance and resetting the inherited state for catalog documents.
#43639 Perfomance of assisted setup when overtaking data from BC Assisted setup performance is improved when existing data is overtaken from Business Central.
#43725 Channel GET when publication header channel empty Publication reorganization now handles a publication header with an empty channel when preparing channel data.

Vendor Catalog

Vendor Catalog 14.0

Release date: 24.08.2026

New and updated features

Identification Title Release Note Summary
#40762 RegEx replacement support for rule action and import transformation RegEx transformation in Vendor Catalog now supports both classic match extraction and configurable replacement logic. You can define a replacement template with group references, choose whether replacement is applied to a selected match only or reflected in the whole input text, and keep existing mappings stable because default parameters preserve previous behavior.

Bugfixes

Identification Title Release Note Summary
#43449 Vendore item changes activation status despite error Activation flow in codeunit PIMX Item Activation now raises dedicated integration events before Integration Status is set to Activated, so extension logic can run and fail before the status transition is persisted. This prevents inconsistent states where activation status was changed although downstream processing still failed.
#42481 Excel Mapping Line: Assist Edit button has no effect The non-functional AssistEdit behavior on the Excel mapping line UI was removed, and users now use the existing lookup behavior for Destination Relation Filter without a misleading extra action state.
#43012 Destination relation settings (PIMX Filter) and transformation parameters not deleted when deleting import mapping Cleanup on mapping deletion was extended across Excel and XML mapping structures so related PIMX Filter and import-transformation parameter records are removed together with parent mapping records, preventing orphaned configuration data after deletes.
#43013 Mapping From Excel creates invalid destination relation settings after first matching feature column Mapping creation from Excel now limits relation-filter creation to valid feature-mapping cases and avoids carrying invalid mapping context to subsequent columns. Import processing was aligned to apply relation filters only for matching table context, reducing invalid field-target combinations during import execution.
#41007 Import Excel Import Mapping: Invalid Destination Table No. Excel mapping import/export handling was corrected so destination-table context is preserved during mapping transport. This prevents imported mappings from ending with table number 0 and eliminates downstream destination-field lookup failures.

Pimics AI

Pimics AI 14.0

Release date: 26.08.2026

New and updated features

Identification Title Release Note Summary
#41428, #43507 Generate Image Alt Description Text Pimics AI now provides a consolidated alternative-description workflow for pictures that supports accessible e-commerce content, so visitors who are blind can understand what a picture shows through meaningful alternative text. It combines earlier concept validation with productized implementation in Pimics365. You can generate descriptions from picture context using a dedicated proposal dialog, apply them in single or multi-record flows, and manage approval with explicit confirmation actions. Configuration support was added for default description class and deployment selection to make rollout predictable across environments.

Bugfixes

Identification Title Release Note Summary
#37795 Pimics demo: AI Feature proposal startIndex ('-1') must be a non-negative value. (Parameter 'startIndex') Actual value was -1. Feature-value suggestion error handling was hardened in PIMX AI Feature Proposal and PIMX Azure OpenAI Wrapper. The fix validates and normalizes malformed AI XML responses before parsing, adds clearer invalid-response errors, and enforces safer Azure OpenAI resource-type usage for on-premise and managed/custom scenarios through setup validation and runtime checks.
#38202 The XML node with the name 'Number' could not be found. Feature-value parsing was aligned to a strict XML contract in PIMX AI Feature Proposal and PIMX AI Prompts. The prompt now requires <Root><Features><Feature ... /></Features></Root>, and parser logic validates /Root/Features/Feature nodes and mandatory Number attributes before writing values, preventing failures caused by inconsistent AI response structures.
