New and improved

You can now add and update exemptions without certificate images in CertManager and the CertManager API.

• You can add an exemption directly in CertManager instead of adding and converting the certificate.

• We updated the bulk exemption upload template to support exemptions without images. To download the new template, follow the steps for adding exemptions in bulk using the CertManager template.

  Important: From now on, you must use the updated template to add exemptions. If you use a previous template, your upload will fail.

• We added several APIs to support exemptions without images:

  • Create an exemption (V3)
  • Update an exemption
  • Create an image
  • Delete an image
  • Pull image metadata

• We added a filter to the Exemptions page and Exemptions report to only include exemptions without images.

Bug fixes

• The notes field for the APIs for creating an exemption (V1 and V2) will now save correctly.

• If you add an exemption in CertManager that matches an exemption already in Tax Determination but with a different reason for exemption, the exemption will have the IN_PROGRESS status. Previously, the exemption would have the AUDITABLE_INCOMPLETE status, which prevented users from editing the reason for exemption or deleting the exemption.

• You will now receive a message when moving the effective date for an existing exemption to an earlier date, as the effective date must be manually updated in Tax Determination.

• You will now receive a message when entering an effective date that is more than one year into the future to reduce the chance of saving an incorrect effective date.
