Proxy Objects allows users to manipulate data directly in external systems, such as Salesforce. This feature provides the ability to always interact with live data, avoiding duplicating and conflicts between the systems.

This feature allows the user to define a default value for object picklist fields. Default Value can be configured for custom fields from both Custom and System Objects.

This feature allows the user to require that a field's values be unique inside of that column. When this is configured, the system will not let two records have the same value for that field, behaving similarly to a key to that entry.

This feature adds a new field type “Date and Time”. A Datetime value stores a year, month, day, time, and time zone. With this field, users will also be able to create time ranges, manage priorities and order entries well, and to give more context and assertiveness to the data.

Evolving the extensibility of system objects through objects framework, this feature allows users to create and update System Object entries through Object Actions as they can with Custom Objects.

OTB workflow that will split a mixed basket of goods a customer places from different suppliers, into individual supplier orders to support marketplaces and webshops where partners are also present.

Used in Conjunction with Supplier Accounts, this object's rule, once configured, splits Commerce Orders automatically by the Catalog that each Product belongs to. The Channel on the Order is updated to be the channel linked to the same supplier that the Catalog is linked to. The order splitting rule effectively allows the supplier to manage orders for their own specific products.

OTB Support for Customers to request quotes for catalog products or baskets and to restrict pricing to be only available on request:

• Enable Product Catalog managers to initiate contact with a Sales Agent to process a quote.
• Allow customers to request a quote for a catalog product.
• Submitted Quote requests will be assigned to the sales agents to review and process.
• Allow clients to request a quote for individual products instead of setting a price. 
• Includes the option to use a Price List or a Promotion to price the Product as "Price on Application". 
• There is also the ability to activate the "Request a quote" option on a fully priced cart for a particular channel.

In order to make it easier for users to configure certain accessibility properties to their liking or needs, we have created our Accessibility Menu.

The Accessibility Menu allows each user to customize certain accessibility settings in a specific way, so that DXP has a custom accessibility setup based on the needs of that user. It can be accessed via keyboard navigation using Tabulation, right after the “Skip to Content” option.
