Release Notes: New Releases

Employees can now sign off on their timecards or submit disputes directly in Timecards, including suggested corrections and notes.

Areas Updated

• Timecards (employee mobile and web experience)

• Timecard manager views and audit logs

Employees can now sign off on timecards or submit disputes with notes and suggested corrections, while entries show clear status indicators.

Managers can review disputes, approve or decline them with comments, and all actions are tracked through notifications and audit history. Learn more about handling Timecard Disputes.

You can now manage comments and attachments, as well as review purchase orders linked to AP invoices directly in the R365 Mobile App, giving managers the ability to take action on the go — whether on the floor, in the back office, or off-site.

Menu items can now be created in R365!

Previously menu items were only imported from the POS. Now, users with the Create Menu Items permission can manually create menu items that may not have been imported into R365. Menu items can be created using:

• the Create button on the Menu Items page

• the bulk action bar on the Point of Sale Items page

• the menu item dropdown on the POS item record

An enhanced Draft Transaction screen is now available to all Capture AI customers. The new screen keeps more information and actions in one place to improve the user experience and support faster invoice and credit memo creation.

The new Draft Transaction experience is available to all organizations with Capture AI:

From the Legacy Draft Transaction, open the menu and select Try new form.

To go back, open Actions and select Classic Form.

Users with access to more than one brand-managed instance, including corporate and franchisee instances, can now switch between instances directly from the system header using the multi-instance switcher. This update streamlines navigation and removes the need to log in and out of each instance separately.

From the Instances screen, multi-instance users can also favorite instances for quicker access.

Welcome email delivery controls are now available on the Single Sign On page for all SSO-enabled instances, allowing admin users to determine whether R365 welcome emails are sent when new users are created.

These settings support SSO-based onboarding workflows by reducing duplicate or confusing invitations when access is managed through the SSO provider.

For brand-managed instances, these controls can be configured at the brand level and enforced for linked franchisee instances.
