Blizzard Blue Release – ACP Notes
Released February 6th, 2026
Overview
This release focuses on making ACP more reliable and easier to operate day‑to‑day:
Smarter and more predictable Rule Center automation
Cleaner order validation, address handling, and date filters
Better admin troubleshooting tools
Clearer invoices and data alignment with finance systems
All changes below are already live in ACP as part of the “Blizzard Blue” sprint release.
Order Validation, Addresses & Dates
Better handling of full country names
Address validation now correctly recognizes certain full country names (for example, “U.S. Virgin Islands”) and maps them to the correct country codes.
This reduces “Invalid Country” errors for otherwise valid addresses.
Consolidation point addresses in the address book
Consolidation point locations can now be stored and selected directly from the address book, rather than entered manually.
This improves accuracy and saves time when using consolidation points.
More intuitive date filters in Orders & Tracking
Updated how ACP applies date filters so they no longer rely on unused timestamps and time zones.
Filters on the Orders and Track Package pages now behave more predictably across time zones, reducing confusing or empty result sets.
Rule Center & Automation Improvements
New Requested Ship Date rules
Rule Center’s Requested Ship Date condition now supports additional comparison operators (such as “today or earlier” and “today or later”).
This lets you build time-aware automation (e.g., treat overdue orders differently from future‑dated orders) without hard-coding specific dates.
More predictable rule execution order
System‑level carrier rules now run after Rule Center logic, so your custom rules take effect first.
This reduces surprises where a system rule might previously override a carrier change made by Rule Center.
Rule Center usability and stability fixes
When deleting rules from long lists, ACP now keeps you near your previous scroll position instead of jumping you back up the list.
Fixed a database error that could occur when saving carrier mappings with conflicting codes, improving overall stability.
Correct handling of Rule Center-added items on merges
When merging orders, items automatically added by Rule Center (for example, “make sure there’s a specific SKU”) are now reliably retained on the final merged order.
Warnings, Exceptions & Order Behavior
Incompatible warnings behave more consistently
Once an Incompatible warning (e.g., ice pack + incompatible item) has been cleared by Authorize Shipping, it will not reappear on Resubmit, as long as no new incompatible items are added.
On Copy Order, incompatible warnings for bundles now show correctly under the bundle that contains the problematic item, making it clearer what needs attention.
System items no longer trigger “Item not found” errors
Fixed an issue where certain system items could incorrectly generate “Item not found” exceptions on DTT orders.
Orders using these items should now validate cleanly.
Billing & Data Accuracy
Consistent price formatting on DTT invoices
Unit Price, Extended Price, and Subtotal on the DTT invoice now always show two decimal places, matching standard financial formatting and reducing ambiguity during reconciliation.
Vendor account synchronization with finance systems
Vendor account values from your finance system (D365) are now synchronized into ACP on a regular cadence.
This helps keep vendor identifiers aligned, reducing mismatches and manual corrections.
Behind-the-Scenes Improvements
These updates are mostly invisible in the UI but improve reliability, traceability, and future development:
Versioned API responses
ACP APIs now include a build/commit identifier in responses and telemetry, making it much easier for our team to trace incidents back to the exact code version and resolve them quickly.
Indexing and search updates
The search indexer for Orders and Tracking Numbers was updated ahead of this release to support the new date-handling behavior and ensure consistent search performance.
Developer tooling & guidelines
New internal configuration and documentation for our development tools (including GitHub and AI-assisted coding) help keep the codebase more consistent and maintainable, leading to safer future releases.
