If you receive many supplier invoices every day through electronic invoicing, you know how important it is that nothing gets lost along the way. The latest improvements to our apps within Finance and documents are all about making the receipt of electronic documents more reliable and your approval flow more robust. If you want to understand OIOUBL, NemHandel and PEPPOL in context, you can read more in our guide to electronic invoicing in Business Central.
VisionOIO
No invoices are skipped
When you retrieve incoming documents from your provider, for example Sproom, the provider uses the sender's document date. That date can be back-dated, so an invoice you receive today may carry an earlier date. With the new back-dating window, you can decide for yourself how many days back the import should look, so these documents are still included and not skipped. This is especially important for those of you who also receive the same documents by email, because you now avoid any doubt about whether the invoice came in or not. This issue only occurred if you use the API integration. With the file integration it was not a problem.
Fixed dimensions that hold through approval
If you create a purchase invoice or credit memo with fixed dimensions from an OIO document, the setting is now applied after the document lines have been created. Previously, the dimensions could be validated before the lines existed, so a document sent for approval could fail validation or lose its fixed dimensions. Now documents with fixed dimensions are created correctly, even when they are passed on for approval. This gives a cleaner flow for those of you who process many invoices in an approval workflow.
Stable file handling for environment copies
If you copy a production environment to a sandbox, your file setup is now kept intact, and the connection is switched to the provider's test environment, instead of Legacy File Mode unexpectedly taking over. Environments that already use External File Storage or the incoming API therefore keep their modern file setup. At the same time, we have fixed an error where delivery to an external file account could stop when the path was specified as an absolute path on, for example, Azure File Share, SharePoint or OneDrive. Delivery no longer fails with the message about invalid characters.
Correct Finnish references on PEPPOL invoices
If you send invoices to Finland, Finnish viitenumero references (the Finnish invoice reference number) on PEPPOL invoices now use the correct check digit with the weights 7, 3 and 1 required by the Finnish banks. Previously, the reference could be rejected by, among others, Nordea, so the payment could not be completed. This is now in place.
In addition, we have made a range of quality and stability improvements that keep the solution running smoothly on the supported versions of Business Central. If you would like to hear how VisionOIO fits your flow of supplier invoices, you are always welcome to contact us.
