Contracts

New

• The bonus agreements have been expanded with a forecasting reporting functionality. Forecasting periods can be set in Admin > Contracts settings > Bonus agreements. These periods are used in the new reporting functionality which can be found in the details of a bonus agreement in Forecasting > Reporting. Based on the settings
  agreements, the system can calculate the bonus amounts at the end of the period
  should be received from the various suppliers.
  Because these bonuses are not a surprise for purchasing organizations, there is also a possibility
  an internal obligation to report on this during the term of the agreements
  so that the bonus amounts to be received can be taken into account financially.
• By default, draft contracts are only visible to the user who created the contract. In Admin > Contracts settings > Settings, a new option has been added: Show all draft contracts. When this option is activated, all draft contracts are visible to all users of the Contracts module.

Fixes

• The active/inactive option for signers in E-Signing requests has been restored.

Admin

New

• In Admin > General settings > Users > Connect users to categories, we now also show any category roles in the 'Linked users' overview.
• When transferring category links from a profile to a user, category roles are now also transferred.
• Three new tokens are available under contract notifications (Admin > Contracts settings > Contract notifications):
  

  [CONTRACT:COMPANYCODE] = company ref of the company associated with the contract
  [CONTRACT:COMPANYNAME] = company name of the company associated with the contract
  [CONTRACT:SECONDVENDORNAME] = Name of 2nd party associated with the contract

AP Automation

*E-Invoicing with E-connect 

Through a new partnership with E-connect, ISPnext can now also support PEPPOL or unknown XML invoices.

*Please note: this functionality can be activated through additional configuration and involves additional costs.

Vendor VAT number on header

From now on, it is possible to display the vendor's VAT number on the header of the invoice.

Do not show order lines without value

From now on, it is possible to show or not show lines without quantity with the use of a check box. 

*Orders with a quantity of zero cannot be added as logistics lines. In doing so, the order with a quantity of zero will be visible as a selected order, but there will be no lines from this order in the logistics lines. 

Infor LN CE

Maximum number of characters added

To ensure that a field never contains more characters than the ERP allows, a maximum has been set as of now. This applies to fields that support characters.

Financial dimensions and coding lines visible earlier 

From now on, coding lines and financial dimensions are visible in the ERP system at an earlier stage. The ability to put invoices on hold with a reason has been added. This allows encoding lines and financial dimensions to already be exported to Infor LN CE while the invoice is still blocked for payment.

View payment date and amount

From now on, it is possible to view the payment date and the amount of an invoice in Infor LN CE and ISPnext. ISPnext has added the payment date and amount to the export.

VAT validation header and coding lines cost invoice

A new VAT validation is added whereby it is possible to check the VAT match on the header and coding lines of an cost invoice.

Infor LN on Premise 

Standard mapping extended 

The import of order data has been extended to include the following fields:

• PurchaseOrder vat code

• PurchaseOrder base country

Standard mapping extended 

From now on, when foreign currency is set, the value of the foreign currency will overrule the amount on an order line. The operation is as follows:

• When foreign currency is provided, overrule the price and amount with the provided price and value. 
• If no foreign currency is provided, use the specified price and amount. 

Fixes

General

• In AP Automation mobile, the PDF sometimes showed as a black area with a few lines. This has been fixed.
• Implemented some visual improvements: 
  • Solved focus issues when click and paste functionality was used in AP Automation.
  • PDF text dark highlighted has been changed to light highlighted for better readability.  
• In specific cases It could previously happen that when a posting period was closed manually, the posting periods on the invoices were not updated. This has now been fixed.
• Autocoding no longer gives an error if the coding template is defined on a different vendor record but with the same vendor id. 
• Fixed an issue where an invoice with multiple header charges sometimes got an error message regarding VAT.

Fixed an issue where partially deducted VAT was not always calculated correctly.
