IMPROVEMENTS

So, we are always updating our software. Sometimes it’s little bug fixes that you need never concern yourself with and other times, we’ll have found a new or improved ways of presenting the information. Either way, we’ll keep you posted on all our big and not so big fixes.

NEW TASK STATUS REPORT

We have updated the Approver Status Report and made some improvements. Now called the Task Status Report, and located in the reports tile on the dashboard, we have three levels to the awaiting action screen.

  • ‘Invoice & Credit Note’  –  For invoices awaiting approval
  • ‘Purchase Order’– For POs awaiting approval
  • ‘Review Documents’  – For invoices awaiting review

Take a look at the attached video to see exactly how to find these reports.

TRANSFER DOCUMENTS

We have also added the option to transfer one document at a time from one user to another. You will see the change where we added tabs, widened the box on the screen and included a new image of two crossed arrows to depict the transfer option.

Why use this feature? If you are unsure whether to approve a document based on price and quantity  or if you need the input from a colleague, simply transfer the document to transfer the approval request.

Follow the process on screen and if you need any further information or assistance, just let us know.

FLEXIBLE PAGE NUMBER WARNING

This is a small but mighty change to the document import process. Previously when a document was uploaded to the system, if it was over 5 pages in length, it was sent to alerts. This was in case the document comprised several different invoices. It gave the customer the opportunity to review, process or split the document into different pages. The limit of 5 pages can now be changed by the individual company at a global and supplier level.

Ideal for situations where invoices are lengthy and run over several pages. Make the most of this addition by updating your account. At global level, update the Company settings in your Document Settings. For Supplier level changes, update under the Supplier rules.
