Release notes
Blue10

New functionalities

General

• Blue10 login method expanded with multi-factor authentication
  It is now possible to add an extra layer of protection in Blue10 when logging into the Blue10 environment. This extension to the login method is optional and works for users who log in with an email address and password. With the extension, Blue10 asks for a verification code in addition to a correct email address and password combination. The user generates this code themselves using an external app of their choice, such as Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator or 1Password. A user with an administrator role has various options for managing multi-factor authentication via Administration > Authentication Management, such as an obligation for all users in the managed environment and how often Blue10 requests an authentication code when logging in. Would you like to know more about multi-factor authentication? Read more here.

Improved

Contract Management

• End date required for new contract
  Are you entering a new contract in Contract Management? To see in good time when a contract is (about to) expire, it is now mandatory to enter an end date under ‘Terms’ when creating a contract. If the contract does not have an end date because it has been concluded for an indefinite period, switch the ‘Indefinite period’ slider on. This is switched off by default.
• File size for contracts and attachments increased
  From now on, it is possible to upload contracts and attachments of up to 25MB per document in Contract Management. Previously, this was a maximum of 10MB per document.

Exact Online

• Changes in working with return orders in combination with Exact Online
  Are you linking your Blue10 with Exact Online and working with return orders? A number of changes apply that ensure your return orders are processed in the same way as a purchase order:1. Are you working with a credit invoice? If you choose ‘Credit’ in the Currency/Type field during validation, the number in the Quantity column in the coding lines will be positive. Are you working with a debit invoice? If you choose ‘Debit’ in the Currency/Type field during validation, the number in the Quantity column in the coding lines will be negative. Want to know more about processing a credit note with return lines in Exact Online? Read more here.2. From now on, the field for the number of returns on the Document detail page: Purchase (Return #) will be filled in automatically. This way, you can be sure that the number of returns is correct when the Order status is set to Completed.
  Note: If you want to use this functionality, you will need to reconnect to Exact Online. Read more here.

Invoice Management – General

• Requesting a Peppol ID in Blue10
  Would you like to receive documents via Peppol in Blue10? As an administrator, you can now request a Peppol ID in Blue10. To do so, go to Administration > Inbox settings. Select the desired company. Click on ‘Request Peppol receiver ID’. A new window will open. Fill in the requested fields and click ‘Send’. We will then contact you for further processing. Want to register multiple companies? Because each ID is unique, you must register each company separately. Does the company already have a Peppol ID? Then you will see the Peppol ID for the selected company. Want to know more about receiving and processing documents via Peppol in Blue10? Read more here.

• Peppol ID shown in inbox settings
  Once you have registered one or more companies to receive invoices via Peppol, you will now also see the Peppol ID in Blue10. This can be done via Management > Settings > Select the desired company.

Improved

Invoice Management – General

• The page ‘Email settings’ in Blue10 has been renamed ‘Inbox settings’.
  The ‘Email settings’ page has been expanded with additional options, so that it is now also possible to request or view a Peppol ID for each company. Because the description ‘Email settings’ is no longer sufficient, the name has been changed to ‘Inbox settings’. You can find these under the heading ‘Settings’ in Blue10.

New functionalities

Invoice Management – General

• View, change and unlink login methods
  As of today, users can view the login methods associated with the respective Blue10 account. It is also possible to unlink these login methods or change the password. With this new functionality, you have more control over your used login methods. This functionality can be found in User settings under the new heading ‘Login methods’.
  Do you work in an Enterprise environment where you can only log in with Microsoft or Google? Then it is not possible to change an e-mail address or password or unlink your account, as these methods are managed centrally.

• Uploader of document visible in validator screen
  It is now possible to see which user uploaded a document. This gives more insight and can be useful for further processing of the document. To do this, go to Validate in Blue10. Open the desired document. In the middle block, to the right of Purchase Invoice, you will now see the icon of a user. When you hover your mouse over this, the name of the user who uploaded the document appears.

Improved

Invoice Management – General

• Spaces before and after entered value in Validating screen automatically removed
  If a user entered a text field in the invoice header such as Invoice number, Description or Packing slip number with a space before or after the value, this could lead to incorrect processing in Blue10. From now on, a space before or after the entered value is automatically removed, so Blue10 will better recognise and process the values.

• Notification when invoice date is too far in the future
  If an invoice date is more than 90 days in the future from the current date, users will now see a notification in the validation screen. It’s not often that an invoice date is so far in the future, so the notification can help prevent errors in registration. You can click away from the notification and still save the invoice, or cancel saving the invoice. The alert will appear once per session and will reappear if the scenario occurs again.

Invoice Management – AFAS

• Update confrontation process AFAS Profit 4
  Since November 2024, AFAS has delivered Profit 4. In line with this update, we have made changes for the confrontation process. Due to these changes, the confrontation process works the same as before the update of AFAS. So for the user, nothing changes in this area compared to previous versions of AFAS Profit. More information about AFAS Profit 4 can be found here.

Invoice Management – Enterprise

• Change to search by name or email address when creating a new user in closed Enterprise environment
  Enterprise users with an administrator role who work in a closed environment and want to create a new user previously had to select a name or e-mail address from a sometimes long and confusing list. From now on, you enter the first three letters and then a dropdown appears with suggestions. With each letter typed, the results in the list become more accurate. This can be done via Settings > Users > + New user.Note: are you working with Google workspace? Then it is possible to search by typing part of an e-mail address, first name or surname. Do you work with Microsoft Entra? Then it is possible to search by typing the first letters than an e-mail address or first name.
