Accounting
Bank Activity
Bank Activity Imports - New CSV Option
Bank Activity now supports CSV file imports. When uploading a CSV file, a mapping window opens, allowing users to assign file columns to bank activity fields. Saved mappings can be reused for future imports.
New Expand All/Collapse All Option for Multiple Potential Matches
In the Unmatched tab of Bank Activity, users can now collapse or expand all sections (defaulted to collapsed) for a quicker view of multiple potential matches. Suggested matches are shaded in gray to enhance readability.
Capture AI
Restore Documents to Docs to Process
Users now have the option to restore documents to Docs to Process when deleting an attached document from a transaction, provided the document originated there. This functionality is available in both Accounting and Smart Ops.
OCR - Recognize Negative Totals as Credit Memos
Capture AI now recognizes negative amounts as credit memos, ensuring accurate transaction creation. When the invoice amount is negative, the draft transaction is created as a credit memo. Supported formats include negative amounts with or without a dollar sign, such as -12.34, $-12.34, or -$12.34.
R365 Payments
No Hold Days for Checks
For vendors previously paid by check, the R365 Payments service now eliminates hold times for subsequent check payments, reducing processing times. The first payment may take 7-10 business days, but all subsequent payments will arrive 2 business days faster, improving payment efficiency.

A new R365 Payments tab has been added to the Bank Account record. This tab displays the Estimated Delivery Banking Days and Funding Hold Banking Days for increased visibility into payment timing.
Bank Account Availability in Payment Runs
When creating a payment run, bank accounts are now categorized by their availability for R365 Payments, providing greater clarity when selecting bank accounts for payments.
Verified and enabled accounts appear in the ‘PAY WITH R365 PAYMENTS’ section.
Accounts not verified or not enabled are listed in the ‘PAY WITHOUT R365 PAYMENTS’ section.
Email Reminders for ‘Not Sent’ Payments
Email notifications are now sent for payments in the Not Sent status, providing users with timely updates to address unresolved transactions.

A payment remains in Not Sent status for 7 days.
This feature is controlled by a new Reminder for Not Sent Payments checkbox on the Payments Tab of System Preferences.

Funding: The payment is in the process of being funded.

Supplemental now replaces the previous ‘Flat’ method.
