January 2024 Release
1. Ability to control the grouping of invoices π
Purpose
Finexio has introduced the ability to indicate, when submitting a batch of invoices, how they need to be grouped together within payments.
Using the PaymentGroupId in the Portal
A new column has been introduced in our invoice template. This column, named βPaymentGroupId,β is optional and will control how invoices are grouped together within a payment.
In the example below, the five invoices that are uploaded are meant to be paid to the same supplier. The 3 first invoices have a PaymentGroupId of β1,β while the last 2 invoices have a PaymentGroupId of β2β.
This will result in one payment being issued to the supplier, which covers the first 3 invoices, and in another payment being issued to this same supplier, this time covering the last 2 invoices.
Using the PaymentGroupId in APIs
The same mechanism has been introduced in Finexio API v2. The grouping can be achieved using the PaymentGroupId attribute which has been introduced in the /invoices/batch /endpoint.
Benefit
This new feature provides flexibility to users who wish to fully control which invoices are covered by a given payment.
2. Compliance-related changes in the Portal's supplier history π€
Purpose
Finexio has enhanced the Supplier Management feature in the Portal so that system and compliance-related events are no longer shown in the supplier history.
Benefit
This change will allow for easier identification of changes made to a given supplier when browsing its history in the Supplier Management feature in the Portal.
3. Instrument number for re-issued payments π¦
Purpose
Finexio has improved the way instrument numbers are stored and retrieved so that those numbers can be provided for re-issued payments.
Benefit
Providing the latest instrument number of a re-issued payment will increase traceability and reconciliation capabilities for our customers.
