Bug fixes

Functional areaDescriptionID
Documents and TemplatesZero amounts in document lines on the document card were not displayed when the Blank Zero setting on the template field card was set to False.51260
Documents and TemplatesThe No. Series field in the template header for the purchase order category now supports lookup, similar to those available for invoices and credit memos in the Purchase category. If no valid document type is recognized, the lookup defaults to the number series for purchase invoices.53126
Documents and TemplatesWhen updating a purchase order from the document journal under the Purchase Order category, the Quantity and Unit Cost fields in the purchase order were incorrectly set to zero when registering the document, despite the values not being captured or recognized.53522
Documents and TemplatesThe XML master templates previously had the Ask to Set Default Account No. option set to No by default. This setting has now been changed to Yes, prompting users to confirm whether they want to set an account as the default when entering an account type and account number.53638
Documents and TemplatesDocument lines in the document card that had validation errors were incorrectly marked as valid (OK). This issue has been resolved.54221
Documents and TemplatesPreviously, when using the vendor creation wizard, users could select Next Address even when duplicate addresses were detected.54578
Documents and TemplatesWhen using a formula on the No. Series template header field to define the number series for created purchase documents, an error occurred when recognizing fields in the document journal for credit memo documents. The following error message was displayed in the comments section:
  • No. Series is not correct
This issue occurred because the purchase document was incorrectly identified as an invoice during validation of the No. Series template header field.
56198
Documents and TemplatesThe Search for Value setting on the template field card was previously disabled by default for newly created template line fields.57178
Documents and TemplatesWhen unchecking a boolean (Yes/No) master template field and confirming updates to templates created from that master template, the update did not apply if the language in use was not English (ENU). This issue has been resolved, and the update now applies correctly regardless of the selected language.57388
Documents and TemplatesWhen the blank (space) character was configured as the decimal separator in the User Defined Decimal Separator setting on the template field, the decimal part of a detected number was not recognized.57476
Documents and TemplatesWhen users attempted to split multiple pages within the same document, the following error message was displayed, requiring the Split and Merge Documents page to be closed and reopened after each split action:

You cannot select pages from single-page documents or pages that are the first page in a document.
57519
Documents and TemplatesPreviously, the asterisk (*) character was not included in the automatic rule creation when Enable Rule Generation was activated for a template field. Now, the asterisk is included in the automatically generated expression – with the required escape character (\). See the examples below:
  • Captured string 123456 generates the rule \*[0-9]{6}\*
  • Captured string 123A456 generates the rule \*[0-9]{3}A\*[0-9]{3}\*
57534
Documents and TemplatesWhen using the QR-Bill Management for Switzerland app in the document journal to scan a QR code containing billing information, the vendor was not identified if the IBAN/QR-IBAN in the vendor bank account card contained spaces. As a result, when registering the document in the document journal, a new vendor bank account with the same IBAN (but without spaces) was created.57656
Documents and TemplatesWhen performing a lookup of the Customizable Columns on the Document Category page, selecting a column had no effect.57710
Documents and TemplatesIn certain cases, the following error message appeared during document recognition when using relative line capture:
  • Overflow under conversion of Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Runtime.Decimal18 value to System.Int32
57750
Documents and TemplatesWhen moving XML documents to another company, the preview in the Document Viewer FactBox is now automatically displayed.57868
Documents and TemplatesAn empty configurable message was generated if the Multi-Entity Management (MEM) app was not installed in Business Central.58762
Documents and TemplatesThe process when selecting Remove Template Field for multiple fields directly from the document journal or document card is now identical to using the Delete action in the Fields section on the template card. Instead of confirming the deletion of each field individually, you can now confirm to delete all selected fields in a single action.59734
Documents and TemplatesWhen using AI as the document line recognition method, the Search for Value setting was not respected. The columns were still recognized, even when Search for Value was set to False.59854
Documents and TemplatesWhen using the Create Vendor guide, the configured number series from the vendor template wasn't applied to the newly created vendor.59925
Documents and TemplatesWhen creating a new customer or vendor using the Create Customer or Create Vendor guide in the document journal, certain values from the newly created customer/vendor were not populated on the related contact card.60703
Documents and TemplatesWhen using an XML Path in a template field, an error occurred when capturing a value exceeding 1024 characters. The error message displayed was:
  • The length of the string is <String Length>, but it must be less or equal to 1,024 characters. Value: <File name>
60545
Documents and TemplatesOn the Purchase Invoice page, using Next or Previous in the Document Viewer FactBox for a multi-page document did not navigate to the subsequent page as expected.61335
Documents and TemplatesThe Delete Blanks field in the template field table was incorrectly displaying the Danish translation – instead of the appropriate language for the user's localization.60806
Documents and TemplatesThe Set Up Template Field assisted guide has been enhanced to allow the setup of new template fields as either header or line fields. Previously, when using CTRL and selecting a value or caption in the document viewer to create a new header template, the following error message would appear:
  • Type must be equal to 'Line' in Template Field: Template No.=T000002, Type=Header, Code=STDINVDISC. Current value is 'Header'.
60755
Documents and TemplatesThe following issues were observed in certain cases when recognizing document lines in a PDF:
  • The last line of the document was not recognized.
  • The bottom line of the document was duplicated and thereby captured twice.
60508
Documents and TemplatesDuring document import, if a template was already available in another company for the same vendor, the user was prompted with the following dialog:
  • A template for has been found in company , do you want to copy this template?
Previously, selecting No stopped the process. This has been changed to instead create a new template from the master template in the current company.
60513
Document ApprovalTo maintain approval flow integrity, inserting an approver in an approval flow now requires selecting an approver ID.57099
Document ApprovalThis update applies only to Business Central app versions supported by this Document Capture release. You can find the list of supported versions in Supported On-Premises Versions for Document Capture.

When deleting an approval sharing configuration record created using the Set up Out of Office feature, the following error message was displayed:
  • JIT loading of field(s): 'Display Order, Forward E-mails' failed for table: 'Approval Sharing' identification values: 'Owner User ID=<User ID>, Shared to User ID=<Shared User ID>, Sharing Type=Out of Office, Valid From=<From Date>, Valid To=<To Date>'
57893
Document ApprovalAn overflow error occurred when users opened the Purchase Approval Entries page if the vendor name contained 99 or more characters.59610
Document ApprovalWhen sending the status email to approvers, the Amount Incl. VAT column incorrectly displayed zero for purchase orders. This issue has been resolved, and the correct amounts are now shown.58523
Document ApprovalWhen the Type was set to Resource on the Approval User Group Permissions page, the permission type incorrectly displayed as 7 in the Permissions FactBox on the Continia User Setup Card. This caused the following error when attempting to open the document in the Web Approval Portal after sending an approval request:
There is an error in XML document (1, 1544)
59713
eDocumentsWhen sending an eDocument using a network profile (cbc:ProfileID) different from the default one in the XML structure, the profile was not updated in the XML document – and the default profile was used instead.

  • Tax Scheme ID is mandatory.
61242
eDocumentsImport of regional Payment IDs is now supported in the localizations below:
  • eBilling NO (Peppol): A new template field, KID, has been added to the master template to capture the payment reference from the XML document.
  • eBilling DK (Peppol and OIOUBL): A new template field, FIK, has been added to capture the payment reference. Update the XML structure for OIOUBL to ensure proper capture.
  • eBilling SE (Peppol): A new template field, OCR Nummer, has been added to capture the payment reference.
All fields are created using the same field codes as in XML import, so captured values will be transferred to the purchase document in the same way.
61607
eDocumentsWhen sending an invoice through the Continia Delivery Network, the Invoice/cac:AccountingCustomerParty/cac:PartyName/cbc:Name XML element incorrectly displayed the Customer No. instead of the Customer Name.61235
eDocumentsMultiple issues related to OIOUBL Credit Note and Invoice validation when sending documents through the Continia Delivery Network have been resolved. These include:

  • Missing or incorrectly populated mandatory fields in the OIOUBL document structure.

  3. Apply a filter to the XML Path field: cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cbc:EndpointID/@schemeID.

  5. Update the Translate to Value field with the correct scheme, e.g., 0007, and then select OK.

Functional areaDescriptionID
Country and RegionalThe following applies only to the Spanish localization.

If you have configured payment days on the Company Information page for the selected company or vendors, the document journal now calculates the document's due date based on both the vendor’s payment terms and on the configured payment days. If payment days are not configured, the due date is calculated solely based on the vendor’s payment term.

For payment days to be considered when evaluating the recognized due date, the Show Default Field Value setting must be enabled on the Document Category card. Additionally, if the Search for Value setting on the template header field Due Date is disabled, the expected due date is calculated and shown based on the document date and on the vendor's payment terms – including the configured payment days.
53256

40910

  • WARNING: A potential duplicate transaction exists in Expense Management (Expense Entry No.=[Expense Entry No.], Amount=[Expense Amount], Currency=[Currency Code], Document Date=[Expense Document Date])
53235
Document and TemplatesIt is now possible to view the expected default values that will be used when registering the Document Capture purchase or sales document.

Document ApprovalA new cross-company dashboard has been introduced in the Continia Web Approval Portal. This feature allows users to view all approval documents from all companies they have access to, including purchase contracts.53214
Document ApprovalWhen using advanced approval, documents are routed to a specific approver based on the dimension values and amounts on the document lines. Depending on the approval configuration, the user could, as an example, be allowed to approve the dimensions used on document line 1 (e.g.: Department - Sales), but not the dimensions used on document line 2 (e.g.: Department - Administration).

Up until now, it has not been evident what document lines the user was actually approving. With this change, the document lines that can be approved by the current user are marked in bold. The change is available on the Purchase Approval Entries page in Business Central, as well as on the Web Approval Portal.
53258
Document ApprovalApproval flow codes are now supported when using advanced approval workflows. Approval flow codes can be applied to the following document types and corresponding advanced approval workflows:

Please refer to the article Purchase Contract Approvals for a description of the functionality.
56986
Purchase ContractsA new action, Match To Purchase Contract, has been added to both the document journal and the document card. Selecting this action opens the Purchase Contract Selection page, which displays all of a vendor's purchase contract lines, allowing you to link the document to the related purchase contract and its lines.56993
Purchase DocumentsWhen selecting the Find Entries action from a purchase allocation, the related Document Capture document is now included in the search result. Previously, the search results only included the related G/L entries.14633
Purchase DocumentsThe option Use same setting as Send for approval has been added to the Amount Validation on Post field on the Document Capture Setup page.

46397
Purchase DocumentsWhen the registration of a Document Capture document updates an existing purchase order or purchase return order, the purchase document is automatically archived prior to the update. This automatic archiving happens when:
  • Registering a Document Capture document as an invoice or credit memo using the Match & Update Order or Match & Update Return Order register options in the purchase category.
  • Registering a Document Capture document using the Create or Update Order, Update Order, or Update Order Receipt register options in the purchase order category.
The archived version of the purchase order includes a comment line specifying the document number and, if available, the vendor order number of the document that updated it.
47254
Purchase DocumentsPreviously, it was possible from a general journal or purchase journal to delete attachments associated to a posted ledger entry having the same document number as the unposted journal entry. Now, it is only possible in the journals to view the attachments that are related to the posted entries.

In addition to the above change, the attachments added to an unposted general or purchase journal with the same document number as the posted entry are viewable from the general ledger entries but can't be deleted.
54349
Purchase DocumentsWith the introduction of allocation accounts in Business Central, postings from documents and journals can be split across different G/L accounts and dimensions.

When recognizing lines, Document Capture now supports the registration of documents with the account type Allocation Accounts in Accounts for Amounts, Translate to Type, and Translate To No. Currently, only allocation accounts with the account type set to Fixed are supported.

When registering a document, the purchase lines of type Allocation Account are automatically expanded to the underlying account types using the standard function Generate Lines From Allocation Account Line – which is available on the standard purchase document pages.

Note that the validation of the total amount incl. VAT/GST is not carried out when allocation accounts are in use. This is due to Business Central not calculating the VAT/GST amount on documents containing lines with allocation accounts.

This field allows you to set an alternative electronic format code to support different document types.
