Enhancements and Updates

Security Updates
- Platform Stability: Backend security updates have been implemented to maintain platform stability and ensure compliance with current industry standards.
Bug Fixes
- Admin Dashboard Shortcut Count: The Order Management Shortcuts on the admin dashboard will now correctly display "100+" when the count exceeds 100, fixing a bug where the "+" sign was removed.
- Discount Code Validation: Validation has been added to the Pricing by Wholesaler Discount Code field to prevent empty values.
- Sales Report by SKU: The WSOD (White Screen of Death) error on the Sales report by SKU has been fixed.
