Fixes

General

• Resolved: With multiple, similar mailbox settings for the smartscan, the correct company could sometimes not be set.
• When changing a purchase order invoice in the ERP while it was already in the approval flow, an error could occur. This has now been fixed.
• When a free field was set without ‘combo box’, ‘null’ was displayed in the invoice header under free fields instead of an empty field. From now on, this field will remain empty.
• The G-split button could sometimes wrongly disappear. This problem has been solved.
• Placing an order without known vendor settings, and not involving an OCI order, could result in an error message. This has been fixed.
