January 2024 Releases

January 2024 Release

1.  Ability to control the grouping of invoices πŸ“„

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 β€œPaymentGroupId,” 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 β€œ1,” while the last 2 invoices have a PaymentGroupId of β€œ2”.

 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 πŸ‘€

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 🏦

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.
