Release 3.20 will be available in Demo on the 15th of October and will be released to Production on Monday 22 October.
New Features
Create Invoices
We have added a new Create Invoice feature that allows a community to process invoices that do not have a matching order in the system. User's with the Create Invoice role (typically the AP Team) can now create an invoice in the system by entering the lines, invoice number, supplier and all invoice details. The invoice is then routed to the originating buyer for acceptance and if accepted the buyer can checkout and code a matching retrofit requisition for delegated approval. Once the requisition is approved an order will be created and automatically matched to the invoice for payment. This process is designed to further streamline the current retrofit order process and will be available to all customers with the eInvoicing module.
Important Note!
There are now 2 ways to create invoices so there are 2 menu items! We have made a name change to some menu items so please take note of the changes below.
Order to Invoice: This is existing the PO Flip process (which was previously called Create Invoice)
Create Invoice: This is the new process for entering an invoice which has no order.
Select a supplier, specify the Invoice number, invoice date and buyer. Then add 1 or many lines to the invoice until it matches the (paper) invoice received from the supplier.
Invoices will be routed to the buyer for acceptance. They appear in the Tasks menu. Once accepted the invoice details are copied to the cart and the buyer needs to checkout and code a retrofit requisition for approval.
Outbound Requisition-Update Interface
We have added support for sending outbound requisition messages for communities that are using Unimarket approvals. This means that Unimarket can update an external system with requisition details each time there is a change in Unimarket such as each time it is approved, modified or declined.
