New and improved
New feature: Keyword coding rules
We have launched our new keyword coding rules feature, which automatically applies predefined coding when specific keywords are found on a document.
For more information on setting up and managing these rules, see Keyword Coding Rules guide.
New Create a goods receipt feature
Goods receipts help you track when items have been received, ensuring accurate inventory management and supporting three-way matching for invoice processing.
Users now have the ability to create goods receipts directly from the related purchase order. The two documents will be automatically linked, and all header and line information can be automatically copied across.
For more information, see our guide on Creating Goods Receipts.
Editable approvals
Approval workflows help ensure the right people review and approve documents before they're processed. We've improved how editable approval milestones work to enhance system performance.
- We've implemented a new "Unlock" feature for editable milestones that makes approvals faster and more efficient
- By default, editable milestones are now read-only during the approval process
- When you need to make changes, simply click the Unlock button to edit the document
- After editing, you can choose to:
- Update to save your changes without approving
- Approve or Reject to complete the approval process
