Maintain Master data in ISPnext

From now on, it is possible to maintain and set up the following master data elements yourself with the appropriate permissions via setup → financial setup. Here it is possible to upload the master data element data via a specific Excel format or add it manually.

*This functionality can only be configured if ERP configuration API is used.

The following elements can be maintained via setup:

• VAT groups
• VAT codes
• Currency
• Business areas
• Base countries
• Countries
• Payment methods
• Journal types

For more information please see the pages under: Financial setup 

*Complex payment terms

Besides other master data elements, it is also possible to support the calculation of complicated payment terms. 

• Complicated payment terms may include, for example: End of month + 2 months + 4 days. Besides that, there are many other options supported. 
• It is possible to upload the payment terms via a specific Excel format or add the payment term manually.

*If this functionality is used, the payment terms are no longer imported from the ERP package, including the standard payment terms. 

**Please note: this functionality can be activated through additional configuration and may involve additional costs. If you would like to have this functionality, please submit a change request to our support department. The support department will assess the change and share a cost estimate with you.

Navigating back to ‘My activities’

When an invoice is opened, and then ‘back’ is clicked to navigate to the overview, the page now opens ‘My activities’ instead of ‘All invoices’.

Advanced search improvements implemented

• When performing a search in the advanced search/ or normal search with no overview selected, a search in ‘all invoices’ will now be performed automatically.
• It is now possible to click away a search filter using the  icon. 

SAP

*G-split adjustable

From now on, it is possible to make an automatic calculation of the g-split. To facilitate this, under ‘Setup’ → 'Vendors’ → ‘Vendor settings’ → ‘AP Automation’ the option has been created to set the G-account calculation method to the net or gross amount. 

SAP Catchweights alternative price

• From now on, ISPnext offers more flexible booking options by supporting alternative price after alternative unit and quantity.

DTS/ open API

Chamber of Commerce added to the supplier settings

From now on, it is possible to define the Chamber of Commerce number in the supplier settings.

Please note: if the ERP already supplies a Chamber of Commerce number, this has priority, if the Chamber of Commerce number is not filled, the number is taken from the vendor settings.

D365 F&O

Support for international bank accounts

From now on, international bank accounts that do not have an IBAN are also supported. This makes it easier to support international suppliers.

Fixes

General

• Performance of the audit report has been improved.
• As the 4-eye principle does not apply to every customer, therefore functionality has been made more flexible. From now on, a single approver can also be chosen.
• From now on, the real-time ongoing cost report takes into account the selected company.
• It could occur that an accrual report was not generated because some characters were not supported. This is now solved.

M3

• When multiple purchase orders were linked to an invoice, it sometimes occurred that the logistics rules were duplicated. This has been resolved.

Procurement

Manually placing purchase order 

A new tab has been added with e-mail information. This makes it possible to manually send a purchase order to the desired sender. This added functionality makes it easier to manage purchase orders manually or pick them up manually when desired.  

It is possible to enter the sender, subject and content of the e-mail. In the Audit, it is thus possible to see to whom the e-mail was sent.
