New or changed functionality

Functional areaDescriptionID
Country and RegionalOn the Ready to Import page, the Email Received field has been renamed to Email Received UTC. New Email Received and OCR Processed fields have been added to display the email receipt time and OCR processing time in the user's local timezone.73864
Documents and TemplatesA new field, Process Document Type, has been added to the Document Category Card. This field controls how PDF and XML files are handled during import when both file types are attached to the same email. Depending on the selected option, either one or both file types are processed, while unprocessed file types are added as attachments. For more information, see Working with paper and PDF documents.53232
Documents and TemplatesA Document Status Code column has been added to the Message Center Setup page, enabling automatic assignment of document status codes based on predefined comments.54383
Documents and TemplatesThe message shown when changing the value in the header field No. in the document journal has been updated for clarity. It now guides you to review potential changes in Accounts for Amounts, as values such as VAT posting groups and posting descriptions could be overwritten.57954
Documents and Templates

Several labels and actions related to the custom columns functionality have been updated to align with standard Business Central naming:

  • In the document journal, the Custom Columns action has been added to the Page action group.
  • The page for configuring custom columns has been renamed from Custom Field Card to Custom Columns.
  • The Customizable Columns FastTab on the Custom Columns page has been renamed to General.
  • On the Document Category page, the Customizable Columns FastTab has been renamed to Custom Columns.

Documents and TemplatesPreviously, when using AI line recognition, template line fields that had been manually recognized could only be reset to AI-only recognition by recreating the template. It is now possible to reset a line field to AI recognition by selecting the field and then left-clicking an empty area in the Document Viewer, allowing the AI engine to recognize the field again.63855
Documents and TemplatesPreviously, changing the Notification Email Address on a document category did not trigger an automatic export of the OCR configuration files. The OCR configuration is now automatically exported when this field value is updated.65287
Documents and TemplatesItem tracking capture has been enhanced to make it easier to process documents containing multiple item tracking values. Multiple values can now be captured for each item line, allowing all relevant item tracking information to be captured directly from the document.69972
Documents and TemplatesPreviously, blocked dimension values were included when looking up dimensions in Accounts for Amounts. Blocked values are now excluded from the list.72173
Documents and TemplatesDuplicate invoice validation has been improved to provide a complete overview of potential duplicates. Previously, when duplicates existed across unregistered, registered, and posted documents, not all relevant warning comments were displayed. All applicable duplicate warnings are now shown together, making it easier to identify and assess every potential duplicate before proceeding.75558
Documents and TemplatesVendor VAT number and vendor bank account number validation comments can now be configured as errors, warnings, or information, providing greater flexibility in how mismatches are handled. This allows documents to be registered when a mismatch is acceptable for the specific business scenario.78551
Document ApprovalOn the Approval Sharing - Document Capture (DC) page, the Both Users option in the Send Email To field was previously blocked and could not be selected. The option is now fully supported, allowing both the original approver and the substitute to receive notifications when the Send Status Email to Approvers function is used.54693
General ApplicationIntegrating Sustainability with Document Capture has been simplified through a new guide available in Assisted Setup. Completing the guide automatically adds the required sustainability fields to all purchase document master templates.69401
General ApplicationWhen entering text in the document header No. or Bal. Account No. fields, the matching account is now automatically identified based on its name or search name, and the correct number is filled out. For the No. field, this is supported for G/L Account, Item, Resource, Fixed Asset, and Item Charge. For the Bal. Account No. field, this is supported for G/L Account and Bank Account.69567
Order & Receipt MatchingPreviously, when using the Create Line on Purchase Document action on the Match Lines page, only one order line could be created at a time. It is now possible to select multiple captured lines and create corresponding purchase order or return order lines in a single action.58617
Order & Receipt MatchingWhen a partial receipt is received against a purchase order – and the auto-match configuration (e.g.: matching on order number, item number, and quantity) can not find a match for lines with differing quantities – it's now possible to manually set the Matched Quantity on the Order Lines section in the Order Matching.69212
Order & Receipt Matching

Standard Business Central order matching actions introduced in BC 28.0 are hidden when using Document Capture.

When Document Capture is active, the standard Business Central Get Order Lines and Matched Order Lines actions, along with their corresponding columns, are hidden on purchase invoice and posted purchase invoice lines to avoid duplication with Document Capture’s order matching functionality. You can continue to use the dedicated Document Capture matching experience without interference from standard Business Central features.

76809
Order & Receipt MatchingIt is now possible to enable a new purchase order and receipt matching engine that significantly improves the performance of three-way matching for purchase invoices and credit memos. The improvements apply to both header-level and line-level matching and are particularly beneficial in environments with large numbers of open purchase orders and receipts.78406
Platform and TechnologyWhen a GP-to-Business-Central cloud migration was performed in environments with Continia apps installed, the migration could fail in some cases. This occurred because Continia added entries to the Migration Table Mapping table without first verifying whether the migration was a GP-to-Business Central or a Business-Central-to-Business-Central migration. Now, Continia checks the product ID before adding custom table mappings – ensuring that GP-to-Business-Central migrations complete successfully.79154
Purchase ContractsA new field, Approval Date Adjustment, has been added to the Purchase Contract Card to define a lead-time period (a.k.a. offset) for contract approvals.57000
Purchase ContractsA Create Purchase Contract action has been added to the Purchase Contracts page, providing the same guided experience for creating purchase contracts as from the document journal.68051
Purchase ContractsWhen a document is matched to an unapproved purchase contract and Purchase Contract Approval is enabled, a configurable warning comment is now shown if the document is expected to be approved automatically based on the configured template's and contract's approval settings. The warning informs you that the purchase contract must be approved before the document is registered for the resulting purchase document to be approved automatically.69916
Purchase DocumentsWhen importing ZUGFeRD or other XML-based documents containing embedded files, the embedded files are now imported as well.70625
Purchase DocumentsWhen registering purchase documents where a Standard Amount Distribution Code is applied, blank values on the Standard Amount Distribution Code line now default to the captured value from the document.81294
Purchase DocumentsDocument Capture now uses AI to suggest a G/L account, item, item charge, resource, or fixed asset for each unrecognized document line – significantly reducing the manual work required to code purchase invoices. For every suggestion, the AI provides a confidence level and a plain-language explanation of why the value was suggested, giving you the information needed to review and confirm the AI recommendation before it is applied to the document.81301
Country and Regional

The scenario framework can now be used with custom document tables. Previously, the eDocument Scenario Flow field was only populated and transferred to posted documents for standard Business Central sales, purchase, and service documents. When the field was added to a custom document table, the scenario flow was not transferred to the posted document. A new public codeunit, CTS-CDNSF Scenario (6252612), has been added to the scenario framework, enabling extensions to:

  • Set and update the scenario flow on custom document records.
  • Open the Record Coding Values page for a record.
  • Copy scenario values between records.
  • Validate that required header and record values have been populated.
  • Transfer scenario coding from unposted to posted documents during posting, consistent with standard Business Central documents.

The Scenario Flow and Record Coding Value tables, as well as their related enums, are also available to extensions. Standard Business Central sales, purchase, and service documents continue to work as before.

82082
eDocumentsPreviously, only a predefined set of XML formats could be imported into Continia Inbound eDocuments through third-party integrations. This restriction has been removed, allowing partners to develop custom integrations that import other XML formats directly into Continia Inbound eDocuments.80998
eDocumentsThe app name and related texts in the Customer Onboarding app and Continia Delivery Network have been updated from Continia KYC to Continia Customer Onboarding. References to KYC as an industry term, as well as its use in AL object prefixes and telemetry identifiers, remain unchanged.81655

Bug fixes

All relevant bug fixes released in service packs and hotfixes up to ????? for Document Capture 2026 R1 (28.00) are also included in Document Capture 2026 R2 (29.00). The description of these bug fixes is not repeated on this page.

Functional areaDescriptionID
Documents and TemplatesPreviously, the Capture Only Match setting on field rules was not enforced when values were captured via AI recognition or key-value pair matching on PDF invoices. If a field rule was configured to capture only values matching a specific pattern (e.g.: a project number format), the rule could be ignored – resulting in incorrect or unfiltered values being stored. The rule is now applied consistently across all capture methods, ensuring that only matching values are captured.71811
Documents and TemplatesPreviously, when using the Create Vendor or Create Customer actions in the document journal, clicking the Open PDF action opened the document preview in a reduced size – making the content difficult to read.72285
Documents and TemplatesPreviously, XML identification templates could incorrectly prevent the creation or copying of PDF identification templates within the same document category. PDF and XML identification templates are now validated independently, allowing both types to be created and copied within the same document category.73231
Documents and TemplatesPreviously, copying a template marked as default could result in multiple default templates for the same source. Copied templates are no longer set as default.74618
Documents and TemplatesPreviously, the Capture Only Match setting on field rules was not enforced when processing XML documents. As a result, fields could be populated even when the captured value did not match the rule’s pattern (e.g.: a 6-digit order number).75110
Documents and TemplatesPreviously, changing the Filter Type to Document Field in a look-up field's Source Table Filters could, in some cases, result in an incorrect validation error before the Filter value was populated.78053
Documents and TemplatesPreviously, in rare cases where the AI-based OCR did not detect any invoice lines, the Recognize Lines field on the Document Card was not shown – even if lines were subsequently recognized manually. The field is now displayed when manually recognized invoice lines are present.79560
Documents and TemplatesPreviously, when changing the When Value is Empty option on a template field, the confirmation dialog could incorrectly indicate the opposite of what would happen to the formula. The confirmation dialog now correctly indicates whether the formula will be cleared.81190
Document ApprovalWhen using approval flows configured with All to First Qualified, documents could previously be approved and released beyond assigned approval limits under certain forwarding conditions.72345
Document ApprovalPreviously, purchase invoices matched to receipts or return shipments could, in some cases, be auto-approved even if the related purchase order was still pending approval. The status of the related purchase order is now validated before the invoice is auto-approved.74504
Document ApprovalWhen opening the Purchase Approval Request Entries page from Approval Entries by Approver, refreshing the page in the web browser (Ctrl + R or F5) removed all system-applied filters, causing all approval entries to be displayed regardless of the approver.75366
General Application

Previously, sending an email with more than 200 characters in the subject line could result in the following error message during document import:

  • The length of the string is x, but it must be less than or equal to 200 characters. Value: <StringThatIsTooLong>.

The subject line is now automatically truncated to 200 characters, ensuring successful import.

76845
General Application

Previously, selecting the Recognize Fields action for a PDF could in some cases result in the following error being shown:

  • The XML Structure Setup does not exist, Identification fields and values: Code=".
76965
General ApplicationIn the Document Capture role center, selecting the Std. Amount Distributions Code menu item would incorrectly navigate to the Purchase Reason Codes page.78345
Order & Receipt MatchingPreviously, filtering credit memo matching by order no. could fail when the order number exceeded 20 characters. The filter now supports order no. values up to 250 characters.74536
Platform and Technology

Previously, upgrading Document Capture to version 28.0 could fail with the following error:

  • This function requires the following module to be activated: Continia Document Capture, Advanced Capture.

This occurred in environments where one or more document categories had a legacy IMAP password value stored and the Advanced Capture module was not activated at the time of upgrade.

The upgrade now completes successfully, regardless of the activation state of Advanced Capture.

77135
Purchase ContractsPreviously, when a document was recognized and its vendor contract number matched an active purchase contract, the document was automatically linked to the contract and marked as OK. This happened even when the invoice amount differed from the contract amount or the contract contained expired lines.64444
Purchase ContractsOn the Purchase Contract Card, modifying the Max. Allowed Line Variance % or the Max. Allowed Line Variance fields now triggers a new approval process by updating the Approval Status to Approval Needed.68109
Purchase ContractsPreviously, no warning was shown when attempting to match an invoice line to a purchase contract line that had already been fully consumed for the current invoicing period. This could allow further matching and approval against an already consumed line.68166
Purchase ContractsIn the document journal, recognized document lines are now automatically matched to the corresponding purchase contract lines when capturing a document linked to a purchase contract.76291
Purchase DocumentsAttachments from Posted Purchase Receipts were incorrectly shown on Posted Purchase Invoices with matching document numbers.65613
Purchase DocumentsWhen downloading an attachment from a posted document (invoice or credit memo), the internal storage filename was used instead of the original filename. This affected environments using Azure Blob Storage or File Service as the document storage type.75171
Purchase DocumentsPreviously, when Secure Archive was enabled, deleted attachments were still included in the attachment count displayed in places such as Find Entries and invoice pages. The attachment count now correctly excludes deleted attachments.78214
eDocumentsAdded mapping of Prepaid Amount in the eBilling Header to the relevant field in the CIIEN16931 XML structure when sending ZUGFeRD eDocuments.82182
eDocumentsThe note on the final step of the onboarding assisted setup guide now correctly refers to the Network Participations page when explaining where the registration status can be reviewed.82071
