Service Excellence Continuing Investments

In this update, our ongoing investment in service excellence includes improvements in performance, usability, and messaging. Refer to the What's New for more information.

Taxes

Tax Exception Application to Related Taxes

Apply the tax exception derived for a source tax to related taxes in the same regime or jurisdiction. For example, apply the tax exception derived for a US State tax to City or County taxes. This reduces the setup and ongoing maintenance, and improves the run-time performance during tax calculation processing.

Tax Registration Number Masking

Mask the tax registration number on all transactions to comply with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation for data protection and privacy of all individuals within the European Union and European Economic Area. The tax registration number is overwritten with a random number.

Web Services

Customer Dispute Submission Using a REST API

Submit customer disputes for one or more transaction lines using the Receivables Dispute REST API. Specify the specific transaction line or lines to dispute and the reason for the dispute. The REST API both creates the dispute and initiates the credit memo approval workflow.

Party and Party Site Fiscal Classification Assignment Using REST APIs

Create party fiscal classification assignments for suppliers and customers using the Party Fiscal Classification Assignment REST API, and for supplier sites and customer sites using the Party Site Fiscal Classification Assignment REST API. This avoids manual user intervention to assign party fiscal classifications after creating a party or party site using a REST API.

Print Attributes Update Using a REST API

Update print attributes, such as the print status, when printing or reprinting transactions using the Receivables Invoice REST API. This helps users maintain the most current record of printed transactions.

Workflow

Simplified Workflow Rules Configuration

Use the Simplified Workflow Rules Configuration feature to create workflow rules for Payables Invoice Approval and General Ledger Journal Approval workflows using spreadsheets. Download templates using the Manage Workflow Rules in Spreadsheet task to create and manage workflow rules as per your approval policies.

This feature was introduced in update 18C. In update 21D, you can specify custom values for start approver name for rules using Supervisory Hierarchy or Job Level Hierarchy approval routing. Example: 'Manager of Invoice Line.Project Manager Name' or 'Invoice Line.Project Manager Name'.

Expenses

Attendee Capture in Expenses Mobile Application

Capture employee and non-employee attendee details for all expense types to accurately track attendees.

Auditing of Duplicate Expenses and Expenses Under Receipt Threshold

Route expenses for audit that were identified as duplicates by the Expenses application and changed to actual expenses by employees. Detect expenses that circumvent receipt requirements by being under the receipt thresholds enforced by the company.

Detailed View of Audit Results in Expense Audit

Display automatic audit checks performed on expense reports using audit rules. Provide auditors with a detailed view of these audit results.

Expense Report Risk Indicator in Expense Audit

Evaluate the potential risk of an expense report using preconfigured rules and provide visual indicators for risk in the expense report audit.

Pay Group for Cash Advances and Expense Reports

Enable specific pay groups for cash advances and expense reports with negative reimbursement amounts. Creating distinct pay groups allows companies to process cash advance and expense reimbursements separate from the refunds collected from employees.

Policy Enforcement for Miscellaneous Expenses in Mobile Application

Validate miscellaneous expenses for policy violations within the Expenses mobile application. The mobile application performs the same validations that are enforced online. If your company policy permits submission of expenses with policy violations, provide a justification in the mobile application. If company policy does not allow an expense report submission with policy violations, you cannot submit an expense item. You must correct the expense item using the mobile application.

Project Expenditure Organization Capture in Expenses Mobile Application

Capture project expenditure organization in Expenses mobile application for project-related expenses. Provide a default project expenditure organization when applicable and restrict selection to valid project expenditure organizations.
