| Expenses | The Invoice No. is transferred to the External Document No. when posting, together with information about the expense document number. The Invoice No. is captured by the AI Receipt Scanner. In the Spanish localization, the field Vendor Invoice No. can be configured for expense user input, for similar purposes. In this case, the Vendor Invoice No. value will be transferred to the External Document No. | 59773 |
| Expenses | The following event has been added to Report CEM Export Attachments:
| 61796 |
| Expenses | The Post in Expense Currency feature now ensures that expenses for users associated with an Employee, where the Currency Code is specified, are posted in their respective currencies—consistent with the behavior for users associated with a vendor. | 62142 |

| General Application | When running Run GDPR Maintenance in Expense Management Setup to delete old documents, the associated Document Log entries are now also removed. | 60996 |
| General Application | The values in the Request Page fields for batch posting reports are now retained for future use. | 61937 |

| 61621 |
| Mileages | In the Danish localization, when the 60-day rule is enabled, a warning comment now appears if neither the From Home nor the To Home checkboxes are selected, but there is a clear correlation to a previously used home address within the default range of 300 meters. | 62432 |
| Mileages | In the Danish localization, when the 60-day rule is enabled, a warning comment now appears if GPS coordinates are missing on a mileage. GPS coordinates are used to determine proximity to a destination address and validate home address checks. If GPS coordinates are missing, the system defaults to identifying similar destination addresses based solely on the address text, which may affect the accuracy of the 60-day rule calculation. | 62433 |
| Mileages | In the Danish localization, when the 60-day rule is enabled, you can now see a warning comment if a mileage has eitherFrom Home or To Home specified but the home address is outside the 300 meter range when comparing with the previously used address. | 62467 |

| 62512 |

| 62744 |

| 62215 |

| 62402 |
| Mileages | The Expense App now sends push notifications when Mileages, Per Diems, and Expense Reports are approved. | 62401 |

| Country and Regional | In the Canadian localization, functionality has been enhanced to support multiple tax jurisdictions of the same type (e.g., PST1 and PST2). The Tax Amount is now distributed proportionally based on the respective tax percentages for each tax entry. Previously, this setup would have resulted in an error. This improvement is particularly useful for expenses that are capitalized. | 60308 |
| Document Approval | In the Business Central client, when a document is rejected and sent back to the previous approver, the system will prompt the user to provide a comment. | 60596 |
| Document Approval | Event Publisher has been added to Codeunit CEM Approval Management:
| 61006 |
| Expenses | Deleting a document from the Documents for Import queue in Document Capture will clear the Applied Document No. field on the linked expense. If the expense has already been posted, the expense will be reopened as well. | 59523 |
| Expenses | Expenses can now be sent to Document Capture, even if the attachment is not a PDF file. | 59779 |
| Expenses | It is now possible to specify the Volume Unit on the Expense Management Setup page. The Volume Unit, along with the Distance Unit, will be used in various areas. | 60178 |
| Expenses | When Applied Purch. Doc No. is manually updated, Process with Document Capture will not longer send the document for OCR processing because a document is already applied. | 60651 |
| Expenses | Invoice documents associated with an expense report cannot be processed with Document Capture. The document must be detached first. | 61240 |
| General Application | When running the data maintenance job, users will now see an overview of the data scheduled for deletion. Additionally, the date intervals have been aligned with those in Document Capture. | 54571 |
| General Application | A new field Posted Document No. has been added to the Posted Expense Report card, and list pages.

| General Application | In earlier versions of Business Central, upgrading from on-premises to cloud could unintentionally run the upgrade process more than once, leading to data inconsistencies.

Expense Management 2024 R2
Release date, online: October 1, 2024
Release date, on-premises: October 21, 2024
App version: 25.0.0
Fob version: 25.00
New or changed functionality
| Functional area | Description | ID |
|---|---|---|
| Credit Card Transactions | When the Card No. is blank on transactions imported as .csv file through Transaction template tool, users will get an error when trying to Approve and Transfer. | 54141 |
| Document Approval | When using the standard page Requests to Approve, the Expense Management workflow was creating inconsistencies and differences compare to when the same actions were taken from the Approval Entries (EM) page. Rejecting Expense Management documents from within the standard Requests to Approve page would have left the approval document in status Pending Approval, while the approval entry would have actually been rejected. Approving from the same page would have not sent a release notification to the expense user. | 21200 |
| Document Approval | A new event was added in Codeunit CEM Approvals Mgt.:
| 54466 |
| Document Approval | A new cross-company dashboard has been introduced in Continia Web Approval Portal. | 58048 |
| Expenses | The fields Payment Type and Expense Type are now enforced to have a value before allocating an expense. | 52911 |
| Expenses | A warning will be shown in case the manually entered VAT amount does not match the calculated VAT amount on an expense. The warning is created as a configurable comment. | 54777 |
| Expenses | When creating a Purchase Invoice/Purchase Credit Memo during Expense posting, an existing Purchase document will no longer be re-opened if it's status is "Pending Approval" or "Released". The system will create a new Purchase document instead. | 57971 |
| General Application | Expenses documents can now be sent to Document Capture for processing. In this way, the bookkeeper takes full advantage of the purchase handling capabilities in Document Capture, while the refund will be handled in Expense Management. The expense will then be posted without generating the purchase side. As soon as the purchase document is posted, Expense Management will apply a payment to that document, refunding the employee. Furthermore, an expense can be linked to a Document Capture document or a purchase document (purchase invoice or credit memo) directly. The new fields Applied Document Type and Applied Document Number have been introduced for this purpose. The functionality is only available when cloud OCR is enabled in Document Capture. | 16409 |
| General Application | Job queues can now be set up with ease from withing the Expense Management setup page, simplifying the administrative processes for recurring jobs. Moreover, when sending emails (approval, reminder or expense status report), the functionality makes sure that there has been a recent synchronization, avoiding sending outdated information. | 53988 |
| General Application | Procedure LockToSpecificDocumentNo() has been made externally available on all the relevant card pages. | 54658 |
| General Application | Users can now change Document Storage Type in Exp. Management Setup page without having to move existing files in the storage. | 54715 |
| General Application | In Canada, sales tax handling has been enhanced to ensure that the specified tax amount is now posted into the Tax Ledger Entries, even when using Expense Posting via the General Journal in Expense Management. In Microsoft Business Central™, the handling of tax differences produces varying outcomes depending on whether the differences are posted through a Purchase Invoice or the General Journal. Since Expense Management typically defaults to posting via the General Journal, this can further contribute to discrepancies. To address this issue, Expense Management has been refining its posting routines. It now posts directly into the sales tax accounts and strives to replicate, as closely as possible, the results of posting through a Purchase Invoice. | 54850 |
| General Application | Event Publisher has been added to Codeunit CEM Mileage Inbox-Transfer:
| 55180 |
| General Application | We have enhanced the way comments are displayed in Expense Reports. Previously, comments were marked by a flag on the line item, requiring users to navigate to the comments page through the actions menu. With the latest update, the expense report level now features a summarized comment line that indicates the total number of comments, while each individual line displays the most relevant comment directly on the line item. Users can still access the full comments page by clicking on any displayed comment within the report. These improvements aim to provide a clearer and more efficient way to manage and review comments. | 55275 |
| General Application | A new Event Publisher has been introduced in Codeunit 6086373 "CEM Proxy Response Handling" that allows setting show/hide parameter for the confirmation dialog when deleting Continia User Setup record:
| 55619 |
| General Application | Enhancements in the demo machines, setup configuration files and demo data have been made. | 55945 |
| General Application | The Payroll Integration is enhanced to collect all the requests into the External Interface Queue view. This insures that requests to external payroll interfaces (for example, Dataloen), are only sent when all documents are posted. The functionality enhancement ensures no duplicated calls are made to the interfaces, creating better traceability of the process. | 56349 |
| General Application | The following events were updated in Codeunit 6086319 "CEM NAV-version Mgt.":
| 57028 |
| General Application | The following events have been added in the codeunit CEM Settlement-Post, to facilitate integration with other payroll systems.
| 57039 |
| General Application | The fields Employee No. and Vendor No. have been added to the following pages for easier sorting and filtering. The fields are hidden by default.

| 57813 |
| General Application | The following event was added in order to allow additional posting before the preview stops the process and before the COMMIT. Codeunit CEM Settlement-Post (6086338)
| 57955 |
| General Application | Event Publisher has been added to Codeunit CEM Approval Functions (WS):
| 58646 |
| General Application | The following events were updated on Page 6086402 "CEM Client Addin - Settlement":
| 58788 |
| General Application | Administrators can now view detailed information about the types of sign-in being used by users, including Microsoft 365 and other authentication methods. They can upgrade the authentication method. As a result, the welcome mail is also tailored to the users' authentication method. | 27051 |
| Mileages | Attachments requirements on mileage can now be setup, similar to the existing functionality for expenses. Furthermore, the settings will be reflected in the Expense App and Portal. Similar to expenses, the mileage attachments can be: Recommended, Mandatory and Optional. The attachment requirement can be setup on a company level, in Expense Management setup, when the Vehicle field is not configured. When the Vehicle field is configured, the attachment options can be set individually on each vehicle. The customers that currently use fuel rates, where attachments are currently enforced in Business Central will be upgraded to have attachment mandatory. | 45583 |
| Per Diem | Enhanced control over the defaulting of per diem allowances. It is now possible to specify on each allowance type whether is should be Disabled (no allowances by default) or Enabled (allowances by default). | 55204 |
Bug fixes
| Functional area | Description | ID |
|---|---|---|
| Credit Card Transactions | When setting Enable Multiple Users per Card, the Bank Account No. was not being set on the transactions, impacting the reconciliation. | 54229 |
| Document Approval | When forwarding approval entries, the system previously did not consider the approval limits of the approvers. This allowed approval entries to be sent to approvers with lower approval limits. The functionality has now been enhanced to ensure that a user with sufficient approval permissions is always included in the approver chain. To support this improvement, workflow responses have been redesigned, and workflow template upgrades are required. If you are using extensions, the upgrade process will automatically disable the old workflows and recreate them based on the updated workflow templates. However, for FOB-based versions, this step must be completed manually as part of the upgrade process. Detailed instructions for this step can be found in the relevant upgrade articles, which you will need to follow anyway as part of the upgrade routines. Note that after the upgrade, any existing documents in a Pending Approval status will continue to follow the previous workflow behavior. This is because such documents will remain tied to the old workflows until they are either fully approved or rejected. To transition these documents to the new workflows, simply reopen the document and resubmit it for approval. | 13674 |
