TCB v3.1.2 – Release Notes

General Improvements

This release also includes performance improvements, usability enhancements, and minor bug fixes to improve the overall platform experience.

All features are available in the TCB development server (try.thecouponbureau.org) and will be pushed to Production August 27, 2026.

Redemption End Date Protection

The redemption end date for a Master Offer File (MOF) can now only be extended after a campaign has started.

Once a campaign is active, the redemption end date may be updated to a later date but cannot be changed to an earlier date. This enhancement helps preserve offer integrity and ensures a consistent consumer redemption experience.

Live Store CSV Download

Distribution Provider users can now download Live Store information in CSV format directly from the portal.

The exported file now includes only live stores, providing a cleaner and more accurate dataset. Previously, the download included both live and non-live stores.

Brand Management Enhancement

Enterprises can now create multiple Brands with the same Brand Name within a single Enterprise.

Each Brand is assigned a unique Brand ID, allowing organizations greater flexibility while maintaining unique brand identification.

Enhanced Store Location Management

Store location management has been enhanced to provide greater flexibility for Retailers and Accelerator Enterprises.

Store Management

• Store locations can now be created for any retailer, regardless of Live status. 

• Users can designate whether a newly created store location is Live or Not Live. 

Accelerator Support

• Accelerator Enterprises can now create and manage store locations for their assigned retailers based on their permissions. 

Store Upload Workflow

• Retailer and Accelerator Enterprises can upload store locations using a CSV file. 

• Submitted files are routed to the TCB team for review and approval. 

• Once approved by the TCB team, new store locations are displayed in the stores section of Retailer / Accelerator enterprise.
  

Manage Providers Enhancements

The Manage Providers page has been enhanced to improve Master Offer File (MOF) distribution management.

Circulation Summary

• View Allowed Circulation, Reserved Circulation, and Available for All (First-Come, First-Served) allocations at a glance.

Provider Search

• Search for Providers associated with a Master Offer File to quickly locate and manage distribution assignments. 

These enhancements improve visibility into circulation allocation and simplify provider management.

Campaign Metadata Validation Improvements

Campaign Metadata validation has been enhanced to improve the data entry experience.

Instead of displaying a generic error message and clearing all entered information, the system now:

• Displays field-specific validation messages directly on the Campaign Metadata page. 

• Preserves previously entered data when validation errors occur. 

This enhancement enables users to quickly correct validation issues without re-entering campaign information.

Distribution Provider Marketplace

The Distribution Provider Marketplace enables Distribution Provider Enterprises to create and submit Marketplace profiles directly through the TCB portal.

Provider profiles can include company information, products, services, and other relevant details. After review and approval by the TCB team, approved profiles become visible to Manufacturers (CPGs), Retailers, and Authorized Partners searching for distribution solutions through the Marketplace.

This enhancement improves provider visibility and simplifies the process of discovering and evaluating distribution partners.

Funder Update Enhancement

Updating a Funder ID now modifies the existing funder record rather than creating a new one.

Previously, changing a Funder ID resulted in the creation of a new funder while retaining the original entry. With this enhancement, the existing funder is updated, simplifying funder management.

Note: Existing Master Offer Files associated with the original Funder ID remain unchanged and will continue referencing the previous Funder ID. Only new associations will use the updated Funder ID.
