To support SPTM users in the FDA approvals activities, an Event called FDA Action has been added and a Submission Type called FDA Action has been introduced in Legislation Rules.

For Legislation Rules with Submission Type as FDA Action, the Price Threshold (Legislation UOM Threshold) or Price Increase Threshold, if added, are not taken in account as these are irrelevant for an FDA approval process.

You can create an FDA Action Event for one or more product families. You can add details of the event. When you save the event, the Price Compliance sub tab is populated with data.

From the Pricing Compliance sub tab, you can Save Disclosures, Generate Disclosures, and Regenerate Disclosures for FDA Actions.

You can create/regenerate disclosures for only US events of type Price Change, Product Launch, and FDA Action.

Administration - To add up to 10 fields in related lists section for the Price Threshold or Price Increase Threshold objects of the Legislation Rule object

Overcoming discrepancy during price update caused due to difference in user date format and GMT date format

As a SPTM user, when you make the price changes at 11:59 PM on a date X then you want the same date to appear in all the Salesforce reports.

Prior to this release, the Price change date scenario mentioned here displays correct date in SPTM screens but the date is displayed as X+1 in Salesforce reports. This has been corrected now.

Two new fields called Start Date GMT and End Date GMT have been added to the Master Price object.

price_update_discrepancy_sptm1.png

You can add the Start Date GMT and End Date GMT fields to any standard report.

Using SPTM - Setting Preferred Date Format

These new fields and advanced user setting for preferred date format help in overcoming the discrepancy during price update caused due to difference in user date format and GMT date format.

 

Usability Enhancements

Net Yearly Increase now considers the proposed price until the end of event date year

For Spring 23 and prior releases, if Net Yearly Increase has been selected, then the average weighted price for the event or PCR calendar year is considered and compared to the average weighted price for the same dates in the previous calendar year. 

For Fall 23 and later releases, if Net Yearly Increase has been selected, then the average weighted price for the event or PCR calendar year is considered along with the proposed price (if any) and compared to the average weighted price for the same dates in the previous calendar year. 

Using SPTM - Adding State Price Transparency Management compliance records 

WAC Report displays a message when user add duplicate SKUs data to it

Duplicate Information dialog is displayed if the user adds duplicate SKUs in using the Add Products option of WAC disclosure. Duplicate Information dialog displays all the duplicate SKU names which are being added. If you click OK, the prices of the duplicate SKUs are updated as per the date. If you click Cancel, you are navigated back to the Add Products option so that they can revise the product selection.

Disclosure generation and email notification for the same are now treated independently

Prior to this release, if the SPTM_Disclosure_ReplyTo_Email custom setting is set to invalid or incorrect value, the disclosures were not get generated because disclosure generation process contains email notification email trigger as well (which fails due to invalid or incorrect value). As a result, the disclosures were also not generated. 

From this release onward, user can create the disclosures irrespective of the email being sent. Email generation and disclosure generation are now independent of each other. This is applicable to Product Launch, Price Change disclosures created from the Price Change Requests and Events, And Product Identified and WAC disclosures created from the legislation rules. 

Additional Information field in the Disclosure Content Template

From this release onward, the Additional Information field in the Disclosure Content Template is a long text area with 32768 character limit.

Field Label Field API Name Data Type Options/
Restrictions
Description Where Used Track History

Ability to create Product Family or Product SKU with same description but different Unique ID

The Product Display Name field is added to the Product Family object and the SKU Display Name field is added to Product SKU object. Both the fields are Formula fields. These fields display the product family and product SKU names by removing the labeler code from the Product names.

These fields can be used in the Reference field of the Disclosure Content Template object.

Enhancement to Disclosure creation and remainder email notifications

Created By and Report Owner fields are now displayed in disclosure creation and remainder email notifications of the disclosure template. 

Report Owner 1, Report owner 2, and Report owner 3 are displayed in email as per the data in the disclosure template. 

If Report Owner 2 and Report Owner 3 fields are empty, then these fields are not displayed in the mail.

For example,

Message indicating no disclosures are generated due to no breach in Thresholds

When the prices do not breach any Thresholds in the Price Compliance tab a message is displayed stating that there are no disclosures to generate. 

  • For Price Change Requests (PCRs) -
    • Saved PCRs that did not breach threshold values for prices - "No Disclosures to generate" message is displayed along with last processing time.
    • Saved PCRs with saved disclosures - Last processing time is updated.
