- The relevant supplier is selected on the invoice.
Updating ‘vendor settings’ on new supplier
When a supplier is archived or marked as obsolete, and a new supplier with the same ‘supplier ID’, ‘company’ and/or ‘ledger’ is imported, from now on the ‘supplier settings’ will automatically be updated with the new data.
This change ensures that the 'vendor settings' are always up-to-date.

More extensive examples have been added to the API documentation.

*UBL improvements
*Several improvements have been made to the UBL standard. These changes improve the structure and validation of UBL, and provide more consistency and accuracy in data processing.
