New or changed functionality
| Functional area | Description | ID |
|---|---|---|
| Platform and Technology (Document Capture) | The custom FactBox pane resizing implementation has been disabled when running on Business Central 26.0 and above, in favor of Microsoft's new native resizing feature. The native implementation limits the FactBox pane width to a maximum of 50% of the screen, whereas the previous custom implementation allowed for wider expansion. | 65063 |
| Credit Card Transactions | You can now customize how bank transaction postings appear in the general ledger by defining a description template. Instead of generic text, the template can include key transaction details, enabling faster reconciliation and improved clarity during audits. | 29474 |
| Document Approval | It is now possible to select and approve multiple entries simultaneously on the Approval Entries – Expense Management page. | 54462 |
| Document Approval | Custom filters applied on the Approval Entries – Expense Management page now remain active as users work with approval records. This enhancement improves usability by preserving filter context. In addition, the following procedures have been made available for external access, enabling better extensibility and integration:
| 66088 |
| Expenses | Reminder emails previously failed to display merchant information when the Description field was empty, making it difficult to identify pending expenses. This has now been fixed. If no description is provided, the merchant name is now shown to help users identify which expenses require attention. | 67001 |
| Expenses | Applied Purchase Document Type and Applied Document No. are no longer visible for expenses attached to an Expense Report. The functionality was not supported from this level. | 67180 |
| Expenses | When using Expense Management in combination with Continia Sustainability, it is now mandatory to specify an Emission Unit Code on an expense if an Emission Quantity is provided. | 65797 |
| Expenses | To enhance the integration between Expense Management and Document Capture, the system now automatically sends expenses for approval when the user selects Process with Document Capture. Additionally, expenses that have been sent to Document Capture will be automatically posted once they are approved. | 63252 |
| Expenses | Expenses now include an External Document No. field that will be used when posting. This enhancement gives users more flexibility to choose between values provided by OCR, the Applied Document No., or the default posting value (such as EXPENSE 123), depending on their preferred setup and processing flow. | 65844 |
| Expenses | The following event publisher has been added to Codeunit 6086338 "CEM Settlement-Post". It provides an opportunity to adjust the VAT amount as necessary when posting Expenses:

| General Application | The configurable messages related to Invoice No. and Process with Document Capture have been downgraded from Warning to Information level. | 68813 |
| General Application | The navigation available via Business Central’s Explore more roles feature has been restructured to provide a clearer and more comprehensive overview of Expense Management functionality. Related features are now grouped into logical sections—such as Expense Reports, Transactions, Mileage, Per Diem, and Approval—making it easier for users to navigate and understand the full scope of available capabilities. | 57715 |
| General Application | The Tax Report has been enhanced with additional per diem details, including destinations, meal allowances, and deductions. It now also includes Payment Type on expenses and displays associated document numbers. Additionally, the report now supports filtering by a single document type, providing more precise reporting and analysis. | 67127 |
| General Application | Users can now assign specific projects and tasks to individual destinations, within per diems, on a daily basis. When multiple destinations with different projects are visited on the same day, the system posts separate Job Journal entries for each project, using the total daily amount per project. To support customization, new integration events have been added, to tailor the posting behavior to specific business needs. | 62098 |
| General Application | Procedure SetGlobalVars in report, CEM Status Report is now available for external access. | 64982 |

| Mileages | It is now possible to set up environmental accounts on vehicles in Expense Management. This enables the collection of emissions data from mileage entries, supporting environmental reporting and analysis. | 66478 |
| Per Diem | When Enable Per Diem Destinations is set, the Departure Country/Region field is now automatically populated with the most recently used value during Per Diem creation. Manual override is still possible, and no additional setup is required to use this enhancement. | 64120 |
| Per Diem | On the Per Diem Rate page, meal values for breakfast, lunch, and dinner now display dynamically, based on your configuration:
| 65790 |
| Per Diem | The Per Diem Card now displays full country and region names instead of codes, providing a more user-friendly experience. Users can enter the country name directly or select from a lookup list, with the system automatically matching partial entries. The underlying code values are still used for data integrity and compatibility. | 66919 |
Bug fixes
| Functional area | Description | ID |
|---|---|---|
| Document Approval | When using Danish language in the Business Central client, and filtering approval entries by Document Type on the Approval Entries - Expense Management page, the following error occurred when attempting to approve documents:
| 68994 |
| Expenses | Expense validation has been enhanced to provide clearer feedback when the Description field is empty: - An error is shown if the description is mandatory. - A warning is shown if the description is optional. Additionally, the display of the Merchant field has been standardized across all expense cards to improve UI consistency. | 66563 |
| Expenses | In the Canada (CA) localization, when a Tax Group Code was configured on an Expense, submitting or re-submitting the expense with Allocations caused Business Central to update the allocations in Continia Online with blank Tax Group Code values. This issue has now been fixed. The correct Tax Group Code is preserved during submission and synchronization. | 69133 |
| General Application | Previously, there was a bug when transferring expenses or mileages using Move To Company; Attached documents that were transferred with expenses or mileages between companies (that were configured with Azure blob storage) became inaccessible for the destination company. | 68840 |
| General Application | Open expenses are now also included in the usage statistics. | 68776 |
| Per Diem | Validation has been added to prevent sub-rate minimum hours from being equal to or greater than the Full Day Minimum Hours threshold. This ensures logical consistency in per diem calculations and prevents overlapping or conflicting rate conditions. | 67210 |
