NEW FEATURE |
Add a script to remove/update customer benefits. The new Remove or Update Customer Benefits script and script definition have been added. The script removes benefits or updates the benefits' 'Valid Until Date' for a set of customers.

If the specified benefit(s) are not found on a customer, the script will return an error for that customer, and move on to the next customer. |

NEW FEATURE |
Add a script to update most values on orders. The new Order Update script and script definition have been added. (The existing Order Update, script and script definition have been renamed to Order Price Type Update and Add Payment to better reflect what the script does.)

NEW FEATURE |
Add a script to update miscellaneous item option availability. The new Update Miscellaneous Item Option Availability script and script definition allow you to update the availability status for options on miscellaneous items. For example, the script can be used to make a particular size of T-shirt unavailable.
The script expects a BI or CSV source file containing the miscellaneous item name, option name, and the status to be set. Alternatively, the option can be identified by using the miscellaneous item option 'Data 1' field. An execution field on the script job is used to select the identifier.
When using the miscellaneous item 'name' and 'Option Name' to identify the option to be updated, the script can only update one option per miscellaneous item. This issue will be resolved in a future release (AV-1988). |

Add a script to update customer communication and marketing preferences. The new Update Customer Communication and Marketing Preferences script and script definition allow you to update communication preferences and marketing preferences on customer records based on a source list of customers and using execution fields on the script job.
The script expects a single BI or CSV source file containing a customer identifier. The identifier can be the customer number, email address, customer ID, or any of the three 'Legacy Customer Number' fields. If email address is used, the script checks for matches against the email, e_address1, e_address2 and e_address3 fields.
