New and improved​

Recurring orders​

Recurring orders let you save an order as a template and put it on a schedule, so Zudello raises it for you. Last edition introduced templates and schedules. We've now added the controls you need to run them day to day.

Pause and resume a schedule

• Pause a template from its row in the recurring templates list, or with Pause on the template itself. Resume carries on from the next scheduled date.
• Orders that fall due while a template is paused are skipped rather than raised later. Zudello tells you this before you pause.
• A paused template shows a Paused tag, and the list reads Paused in place of the next order date, so you can see what's on hold at a glance.
• Pausing and resuming are recorded in the template's history.

See every order a template has raised

• Templates now open on a Generation history panel, listing each order the template has produced with its status, total, supplier, and who raised it.
• An order you raised yourself with Order now is marked Manual, so you can tell it apart from the ones the schedule raised.
• The panel also records when the template was created, and the order it was created from.
• Select an order to open it, then use Back to return to the template, and search the list to find a particular order.

Recurring sales orders

• Recurring orders now work on sales orders as well as purchase orders, including Make recurring, schedules, Order now, pausing, and generation history.
• Recurring orders need to be turned on for your sales order document type before the options appear.

Choose what happens on weekends and public holidays

• A new Scheduling setting in Team Settings lets you choose a public holiday calendar for your team, and whether an order that lands on a weekend or public holiday is raised the day before, the day after, or on that day anyway.
• Calendars are available for each Australian state and territory, New Zealand, England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the United States. You can also treat weekends alone as non-business days.
• The setting reads back as a sentence with a worked example, and every schedule shows the rule that applies, with a link to change it.
• It applies to every scheduled document in your team. Automations aren't affected.

Contracts​

Every contract has a primary document, the main file you see when you open it. When a signed copy or an updated contract arrives, you can now make it the primary document without losing the one it replaces.

Make an attachment the primary document

• Make primary document sits next to each attachment on a contract. Select it to swap that file in as the primary document straight away.
• Zudello asks you to confirm first if the contract already has a primary document.
• Changing the primary document doesn't rescan the contract, so the details you've already captured stay as they are.
• Access is controlled by a permission you can grant to the user groups that manage your contracts.

Previous primary documents are kept as versions

• The document you replace stays in the attachments list with a Version tag, so you always have the earlier copy.
• Versions can't be deleted, which keeps a record of every file that's been the primary document.
• Select the up arrow on a version to restore it as the primary document.

Corporate cards​

Debits and credits on your card transactions sat in separate lists, which made it hard to review everything over a period. A new Debits & Credits tab brings them together.

• Each row shows whether it's a debit or a credit, its reconciliation status, and the amount still to reconcile.
• Filter by Reconciliation to pull up only the transactions that still need attention, and filter by document type across both debits and credits.
• Sort by reconciliation status on any Corporate Cards transaction screen.
• The tab appears for anyone who can already see debits or credits, so there's no new permission to set up.

Automations​

Automations act on your documents when the conditions you set are met. You can now run an automation when a document is reconciled, and use its reconciliation status in conditions.

• A new trigger runs an automation when a document or payment is reconciled, so you can act on it straight away.
• Reconciliation status now offers Not reconciled, Partially reconciled, and Fully reconciled as condition values, where it previously showed an empty list.
• Combine them with Reconciled amount. For example, move an invoice straight to complete once it's fully reconciled against a card payment.

Data permissions​

Data permissions control which records each user group can see, based on details like location, subsidiary, or category. We've added more of the categories you can build them on.

• Contract Category, Contract Group, and Account Category can now be chosen when you create a data permission, so you can limit access to contracts by how they're categorised.

Statements and remittances​

Statements and remittances can record a location and subsidiary against each line. You can now see them without opening each document.

• The statements and remittances lists now show the locations and subsidiaries from each document's lines, in both list and grid views.
• The Lines column counts statement lines, so you can see how many lines each statement holds.

Resolutions​

We're constantly working to refine Zudello's functionality and address any issues as soon as possible. As part of this release, we've made the following resolutions:

• We've fixed two- and three-way line price matching on invoices, which wasn't running for some document types. Price checks now run as configured, so you may see price mismatch flags on invoices that didn't show them before.
• We've fixed invoices that arrived before their goods receipt keeping a "Receipt allocation items required" flag after they were matched, which stopped them moving on automatically.
• We've fixed supplier matching on invoices where extraction picked up a tax number, such as an ABN, that isn't on the document, which could match the invoice to the wrong supplier. A tax number is now only kept when it appears on the page.
• We've fixed scans failing for teams whose auto-coding sets a default on a line field, such as subsidiary, account, or tax rate. A default or coding rule that points to a record that doesn't exist is now skipped, and the rest of the document is still processed.
• We've fixed reconciliations with an adjustment, such as a fee, leaving both documents partially reconciled. A $100 expense with a $2 fee matched to a $102 payment now shows both sides as fully reconciled, and reopening a saved match no longer counts the adjustment twice.
• We've fixed card payments failing to reconcile with a message that a reconciliation couldn't be removed from a transaction already sent to your ERP. Matches that were removed earlier no longer get in the way.
• We've fixed scheduled automations with a condition comparing a date to today, which weren't running.
• We've fixed the schedule options in the automation builder being cut off at the edge of the window.
• We've fixed the document viewer showing "No file available" when a file failed to load, as though nothing was attached. It now tells you the file couldn't be loaded and gives you a Retry button.
• We've fixed the document viewer briefly showing details from the previous document, such as its approval flow, when you moved quickly between documents. This only affected what was displayed.
• We've fixed approval email links taking some approvers to the dashboard instead of the document waiting on them.
• We've fixed delivery address checks on sales orders not showing in the banner when the address had no country, which blocked the order without saying why. The mismatch now shows in the banner, and the address is marked Not verified with a prompt to add a country.
• We've fixed upload and split errors showing a generic "The given data was invalid" message. You now see the actual reason, such as an unsupported file type.
• We've fixed splitting a document, which could queue blank or invalid page ranges. Split now waits until the file has loaded, and tells you when a document has no file or only one page.
• We've improved performance in large documents, which could slow down or crash the browser while editing many lines.
• We've fixed recurring order schedules showing times in your browser's time zone rather than your team's, which made the time appear to change when you opened the editor.
• We've fixed schedule end dates stopping a day early, so a schedule set to end on 29 September now includes the 29th.
• We've fixed document history showing "rescand" instead of "rescanned". Changing a contract's primary document now reads "changed the primary file of".
• We've fixed renamed dimensions showing their original names in budget and contract dimension pickers, price book settings, and allocation autofill fields.
• We've made the potential issues alert collapsible, with the number of issues in its header, so a long list doesn't push the document out of view.
• We've changed dates in notification emails to read day, month, and year, such as "3 September 2026".
• We've added a link to Zudello's terms and conditions under the app version in Settings.
• We've hidden Remove two-factor methods for users who don't have any set up, so it only appears when there's something to remove.

New and improved​

Contracts improvements​

Contracts let you store and manage your supplier and customer agreements in Zudello, with automatic extraction to pull key details directly from your documents. We've made two improvements to give you more control over how contracts are processed and enriched.

• Rescan contracts from the interface
  • You can now trigger a rescan of a contract directly from the interface to re-run extraction and enrichment against the latest document content.
  • This makes it easy to refresh contract data without needing to re-upload or recreate the record.
• Automatic supplier and customer matching on contracts
  • Contracts can now be configured to automatically link to a supplier or customer record.
  • Once matched, Zudello applies any relevant defaults from that record — such as default coding, payment terms, and addresses — so your contracts stay consistent with the rest of your data.
  • Admin users can configure the matching direction (supplier or customer) from the document type settings.

Export permission improvements​

Zudello's export tools let you extract data from the platform for reporting, reconciliation, and integration purposes. We've added a new permission level to give you more control over who can access export data.

• View own exports permission
  • A new permission level lets you grant users access to view only their own exported data, without giving them access to exports run by other users.
  • This makes it easier to align export access with your organisation's security policies, without restricting users from getting the data they need.
  • When an export is ready, the notification email now includes a direct link to the exports page so users can access their data straight away.

For more information on exports, see Exporting records.

Other improvements​

Infrastructure and performance improvements

• We've made a number of backend improvements to improve the stability and reliability of the Zudello app.

Resolutions​

We're constantly working to refine Zudello functionality and ensure that we address any issues as soon as possible. As part of this release, we've made the following resolutions and improvements:

• We've fixed an issue where users were sometimes redirected back to the login screen when selecting a team, requiring them to log in a second time.

Release date: Monday 9 February 2026
Version: v3

Here's the latest summary of what's new and improved in Zudello, as well as what we resolved in the latest release.

In this release:​

• Corporate Cards improvements for more flexible and accurate reconciliation
• New purchase order balance field for exports

New and improved​

Corporate Cards improvements​

The Corporate Cards module helps you manage the full lifecycle of company card expenses, from capture through to reconciliation, approval, and payment. We've made several improvements to give you more control over the reconciliation process and keep your data accurate throughout.

• Adjustments for bank fees and currency conversions
  • Banks fees and currency conversions can lead to small differences between your receipt total and the payment amount.
  • You can now record these adjustments directly during reconciliation, without needing to modify the underlying expense document.
  • For detailed steps, see our guide on Handling small differences with adjustments
• Over-reconciliation controls
  • You can now configure limits to control how much a corporate card transaction can be over-reconciled.
  • When over-reconciliation occurs, a reason code is required, giving you a clear record of why the reconciled amount exceeded the original transaction.

• Automatic submission after full reconciliation
  • Once a corporate card expense is fully reconciled, it's automatically submitted for approval. Your team doesn't need to take any additional action to move it through the workflow.
• Transaction locks
  • Corporate card transactions that are complete or currently in an approval workflow are now locked from modification.
  • A visual indicator on the transaction makes it easy to see when a lock is in place.

Validation before reconciliation​

Documents must now pass all validation checks before reconciliation can proceed. If a document has validation errors, reconciliation is blocked until the errors are resolved, helping to keep your data clean and accurate.

Purchase order remaining balance field for exports​

When building a purchasing export template, you can now include the Remaining amount field, which shows the outstanding balance on each purchase order. This makes it straightforward to export accrual reports and track open purchase order balances across your team.

For more on building and running exports, see Exporting records from Zudello.

Resolutions​

We're constantly working to refine Zudello functionality and ensure that we address any issues as soon as possible. As part of this release, we've made the following resolutions and improvements:

• We've fixed an issue that caused failures when receipting against a purchase order with multiple lines
• We've resolved an issue where exports with empty statuses appeared stuck in a perpetual Pending state

Release date: 20 August 2025
Version: v3

Here's the latest summary of what's new and improved in Zudello, as well as what we resolved in the latest release.

In this release:​

• Email matching for user assignment
• Smarter document defaults
• Next generation expenses
• Bulk action refinements and more

New and improved​

Enhanced automation capabilities​

Zudello's automations help streamline your document processing by automatically applying business rules and workflows. We've introduced powerful new automation features to reduce manual work and improve accuracy.

Find and assign users automatically​

We've launched a new automation action that automatically finds and assigns users based on email addresses in your documents:

• Automatic user matching

  • The system can now find users by email address from fields like the sender (From email) field
  • Automatically adds matched users as assignees on documents

• Smart error handling

  • The automation continues smoothly even if no email is present or no matching user is found, preventing unnecessary workflow disruptions

This enhancement is particularly useful for automatically routing documents to the right team members based on who sent them.

Enhanced approval workflows​

Zudello's approval system ensures documents are reviewed by the right people at the right time.

When a document is rejected, the rejection reason is now automatically posted to the document's chat.

This provides better visibility when approvals are restarted after resubmission, and ensures integrity and accuracy of approval audit trails.

Document type configuration enhancements​

Document types help you customise forms and workflows for different kinds of transactions. We've improved how the system handles default document type to reduce the need for manual adjustments.

Smarter default application during enrichment​

Document enrichment automatically applies coding rules and defaults to reduce manual data entry. We've enhanced when and how document type defaults are applied:

• Automatic default application

  • Document type defaults are now applied during the enrichment process. This occurs in the background before you open a document.
  • This removes the case where validation errors appear in the submodule view, but disappear when you open the document.

• Enrichment order of operations

  1. Keyword coding rules
  2. Supplier/customer/item matching
  3. Allocations auto-filling
  4. Apply coding defaults (employee, user, inbox, subsidiary, location, item, supplier/customer)
  5. Document type defaults

• Smart field population

  • The enrichment process runs in the order above, but only fills empty fields (unless force overwrite is enabled).
  • This leaves any previously set values from other rules unchanged, ensuring general defaults like document defaults don't overwrite more specific defaults like item default coding.

For more information on automated coding rules, see Keyword coding rules, Supplier default coding, and Item default coding.

Improved document conversion handling​

Document conversion helps transform one document type into another, such as converting quotes to purchase orders. We've refined how the system handles automation events during conversion to prevent conflicts.

Streamlined event handling​

The system now raises appropriate events based on document origin:

• System created documents

  • Only raises a Converted event when converted

• Uploaded or emailed documents

  • Only raises an Extract event when converted

This prevents conflicting automations from trying to update the same record simultaneously, eliminating deadlock issues.

Export template enhancements​

Export templates help you extract data from Zudello for reporting, analysis, or integration with other systems. We've added new fields to provide better document tracking and reference capabilities.

URL fields​

You can now include Zudello document URLs in your exports:

• Short URL: Direct link to the record within Zudello
• External URL: Reference link to related records in your ERP (only when populated by integrations)

This makes it simple and easy to reference specific Zudello transactions from exported spreadsheets or reports.

Extracted SKU field​

We've added the extracted SKU field to transaction exports:

• Available in purchasing, sales, and receipt exports
• Shows the original SKU as extracted from documents

Note: This field is only populated for transactions processed after the date of this release.

Email processing improvements​

Email processing helps automatically capture and process documents sent to your Zudello inboxes. We've enhanced duplicate handling and added new reprocessing capabilities.

Enhanced duplicate detection​

The system now provides more transparency when emails are blocked due to duplicates:

• Links to the existing document that triggered the duplicate check
• Connects the email to the existing document for easy review

• Adds quick filters and labels in the inbox for finding duplicates

Reprocess action​

You can now reprocess emails without requiring them to be resent:

• Available when the original document has been deleted
• Automatically creates new transactions and sends them for extraction
• Eliminates the need to ask senders to resend documents

This is particularly useful when documents need to be processed by different team members or when the original sender isn't the authorised approver.

Required permissions​

To reprocess documents you need the following permissions:

• Reprocess permission for the relevant module
• E.g. Purchasing Reprocess

Expenses improvements​

We're making significant investments in improving the expense management experience:

Streamlined claim validation​

Claims now validate all linked expenses automatically when submitted:

• View validation issues for all expenses directly from the claim
• No need to open individual expenses to check for problems
• Configurable validation rules including:
• Matching employee records across claim and expenses
• Consistent expense types (e.g. card spend vs personal spend)

Simplified expense editing​

We've removed unnecessary complexity from the expense editing process:

• For claims in Approval status, the editability of all linked expenses is now derived from the claim milestone settings
• This is combined with unlock permissions for better control
• Eliminates the need to reopen both expenses and claims to make edits

Automatic status synchronisation​

Expense statuses now automatically update to match their linked claims:

• Expenses follow claims through approval statuses
• Automatic status updates for completed or rejected claims
• Unlinking expenses from claims automatically reopens them for further editing

Improved user experience​

Several enhancements to reduce clicks and improve workflow:

• Optional confirmation prompts for dimension summary updates
• Simplified reject function without email requirements
• Better handling of expenses without policy issues

These improvements are currently in alpha testing and are available only for selected teams. To discuss enabling these features for your team, reach out to support@zudello.com.

Bulk processing enhancements​

Bulk actions help you efficiently process multiple documents at once. We've improved the user experience for bulk approvals and submissions. Users can now easily deselect specific records after making their initial bulk selection, providing more precise control over which documents are processed.

This removes the need to exit the bulk submit or bulk approval modal and reselect the records for submission.

Resolutions​

We're constantly working to refine Zudello functionality and ensure that we address any issues as soon as possible. As part of this release, we've made the following resolutions and improvements:

• Enhanced security by automatically rejecting emails with malicious file attachments and posting notifications to the email thread
• Resolved an issue where supplier email validation was incorrectly blocking document submission even when email validation wasn't enabled
• Fixed circular delegation loops that could cause authentication and team data errors
• Improved persistence of default status settings for create and revert actions
• Enhanced synchronisation between landed cost tables and item tables, preserving custom fields while updating matching fields
• Various performance improvements to backend processing
