New document flow: purchase requests
APconnect One now supports the creation and approval of purchase requests. Users can submit requests directly from the APconnect One portal, using SAP Business One master data, without requiring an SAP Business One license.

Purchase requests follow their own workflow while maintaining the same approval experience as invoice processing. Once approved, requests are automatically transferred to SAP Business One, streamlining the purchasing process.

Please contact Amista at sales@amista.com  if you would like more information or a demonstration of this new functionality.

Improved attachments viewer
The attachments viewer now provides access to all attachments and related documents from a single interface. Users can switch between documents using a dropdown list, while the attachment badge displays the total number of available items.

Linked documents such as credit notes are also included, and non-PDF files, including email files and Peppol XMLs, are automatically rendered for easy viewing. Each document can be downloaded directly from the viewer.

Support for French e-invoices
APconnect One now supports the reception and processing of French electronic invoices. Incoming e-invoices are automatically received through the certified French e-invoicing network and processed using the standard APconnect One workflow.

The solution also supports mandatory invoice refusal reporting for French legal entities. Users can register a refusal reason in APconnect One, after which the required status reporting is automatically transmitted through the French e-invoicing network in compliance with French regulations.

Cost invoices 

Manual booking 

When processing a cost invoice in the Keyentry application, you can mark it for manual booking. 

When manual booking is set to yes, no automatic booking is sent to SAP for this invoice. Instead, after approval, a registration task is assigned to the accounting group in which they can set the book number and/or SAP document id.

It is now possible to process a cost invoice with amount excl. VAT equal to 0. You need to add one analytical line with amount 0 for the booking in SAP to succeed. 

Goods invoices

The match type ‘manual booking’ is no longer remembered based on the supplier; it needs to be selected every time.
VAT amounts on invoice lines with total amount 0 are now automatically calculated as well.

New in our invoice processing: AI-supported field recognition

From now on, we will use AI recognition to automatically fill in invoice fields, even if they have not been learned from the invoice layout before.
This saves you time and makes data preparation a lot smarter.

How does it work?

• AI recognizes the content of new or unknown fields on your invoice
• The recognized values are highlighted in orange so that you, as a KeyEntry user, can easily check them
• In this first version, the AI results are not automatically validated—this prevents potential errors from slipping through unnoticed
• The invoice description is automatically filled in with a summary of the invoice, generated by AI

What does this mean for you?

• Work faster: less manual retyping
• Better data preparation, even for new invoice layouts
• You remain in control: AI does the groundwork, you validate

New workflow version

The following features were added:

• A field was added with the Key-Entry user to cost- and line-based invoice matching, this field can also be adopted in SAP
• Suppliers can be set so that their invoices are always imported as goods invoices. If you want to use this feature, you can provide us with a list of supplier codes per company for which this may be set.
• The default match type is set to ‘GRPO’ when this is unknown to the supplier
• Validation of amounts on invoice lines were improved: empty or zero quantity/amount is not accepted

Use cash discount percentage in VAT code calculation for cost- and line-based invoice matching

From now on, you can manage cash discount thanks to our new Cash Discount feature. When the cash discount percentage is entered, it is taken into account in the automatic calculation of VAT amounts.

This makes it easier to process commercial agreements correctly and transparently.
