Invoice Management – Business Central

• Select purchase order line(s) when linking a purchase order to a purchase invoice
  In the link between Blue10 and Business Central, it is possible to select a purchase order in the validation screen and forward it to Business Central. Business Central then matches the purchase order with the purchase invoice.
   
  This functionality has now been extended to include a purchase order search window. This window provides more information about the selected purchase order and also gives the option to select one or more purchase order lines. In this way, users can see which purchase order(s) and/or purchase order line(s) are known and matched in Business Central.
   
  If you want to use this functionality, first make sure you have the latest extension of Blue10 in Business Central. Then activate the purchase order search window via Settings > Companies. Under the heading Logistics package properties, you will now find the “Select purchase order lines” setting. Turn it on.
• Display made clearer for multiple purchase orders
  When selecting a purchase order line in combination with Business Central, the display has been improved. It is now clearer that you can also select a line from another purchase order. Previously, the other purchase orders were greyed out after selecting a line, which could be confusing. Now it remains visible that these are still selectable. You can select multiple lines from different purchase orders at the same time, but still only one complete purchase order.

Invoice Management – General

• Coding invoices in the validation screen in combination with Finance & Operations
  Users working with a link to Finance & Operations can now code the cost invoice in Blue10, in addition to recording the header data. This includes coding by ledger, deferral code and dimensions 1 to 5. It is now also possible to include a discount with the Discount percentage.
   
  Activating the functionality “Coding in Blue10” is optional and can be set via Settings > Companies. The ability to code in Blue10 requires the latest Blue10 extension. If you don’t have it yet, feel free to contact Customer Support. It remains possible to record only the header data in Blue10, and the booking rules in Finance & Operations.
  
• Period shown in invoice header in F&O
  The period is now automatically shown in the invoice header for companies working with F&O. The period is determined based on the reporting date of an invoice.

Invoice Management – Business Central

• Booking invoices without line type in Business Central
  When users left the line type field blank while coding an invoice and had the project setting ‘Apply user link’ on in Business Central, they received an error message and the booking was undone. For customers with the Blue10 extension 7.2.0.2, we now show a warning and the invoice is no longer undone.

New functionalities

Invoice Management – General

• Calculations possible in the coding lines
  It is now possible to perform calculations in the encoding lines, in all fields where you enter amounts. You can use the standard calculation symbols: add (+), subtract (-), divide (/) and multiply (x). Enter a sum in an amount field and press the Enter key and Blue10 will automatically calculate it for you. You can also enter several calculation steps at once; the usual calculation order is then applied.

Contract Management – General

• History now also available in Contract Management
  It is now possible to view the history of a contract in Blue10 Contract Management, similar to what you already know from Invoice Management. You can now see per contract what has been changed, by whom and when. You can also see what notifications have been sent. Previously, this information was limited in the audit log, which made retrieval difficult. The history can be found on the contract page, above the visualisation of the contract.  Note: Only actions performed after this update (27-5-2025) are visible in the history. Changes before this time may not be fully available. 

Improved

Invoice Management – General

• By default, only active companies are shown in the Company Overview 
  In the Company Overview, only active companies are now shown by default. A filter has been added at the top right, allowing you to switch between; active companies, inactive companies and all companies. This change provides more overview, especially for organisations with many inactive companies. 

Contract Management

• Speed improvement of Blue10 Contract Management
  Blue10 Contract Management has been optimised, making data retrieval significantly faster than before. In addition to this optimisation, we continue to work on new improvements to Blue10 Contract Management.
• Contract tab on the document detail page has been optimised
  The contracts tab on the document detail page has been optimised and now better matches the way the attachments tab works. Since the supplier of the document and contracts is always the same, the supplier name is no longer repeated with each contract. In addition, the ‘Upload contract’ button has been removed, as it only redirected to the Contract Management home page. 

Invoice Management – Business Central

• Business Central: Select default payment method when creating supplier  
  When creating a new supplier, a new field is available: the default payment method. This setting is optional and is intended to indicate the preferred payment method of the newly created supplier. This value can also be found on the supplier card in Business Central and in the invoice header in the validation screen.
• Business Central: Default payment method shown in invoice header during validation screen  
  In the link with Business Central, the default payment method is now shown in the invoice header during validation. This field is optional and is filled when the value is entered in Business Central on the supplier card. 

Invoice Management – Exact Online

• XML file is also sent to Exact Online  
  If the setting ‘Add PDF/XML to posting’ is enabled, invoices imported via the Peppol network will now also have the XML file sent to Exact Online. In Exact Online, this XML file is visually displayed, just as you are already used to from a PDF file.   

Invoice Management – Finance & Operations

• New extension available for Finance & Operations users
  The new extension adds the following new features and fixes a number of bugs.
  • Booked invoices that received two voucher numbers because the booking spans more than one period can now be processed via Blue10 without disruption; 
  • Support for booking at closed periods has been improved based on the ‘Adjust invoice posting date automatically’ in the Accounts Payable Parameters -> Ledger and Sales tax. All settings are supported in this version. 
  • Blue10 no longer checks itself for 0.- amounts when creating an invoice record. 
  • You can no longer add extra vouchers to an invoice approval journal if it already contains a voucher created by Blue10. 
  • For successfully booked Pending Vendor Invoices, the empty approval journal can be automatically removed by enabling the setting ‘Remove Approval Journal with Purchase order after successful posting’ in the Blue10 parameters. 
  • It could happen that the Payment method was not filled for a vendor transaction. This has been resolved. 
  • Packing slip numbers that started with 0 were not found during the matching process. This has been resolved. 
  • When encoding on all dimensions and where the last dimension value was empty, an error message occurred. This has been resolved. 

Resolved issues

• Drag and drop possible after adding an attachment
  After previous optimisations of the attachment tab, the drag and drop functionality worked only once. Once a document already contained an attachment, it was only possible to add additional attachments using the ‘Add file’ button. It is now again possible to add attachments using drag and drop, even when attachments have already been added. When you now drag and drop files to the attachments, it visually displays in which field you can drag the attachments.

Improved

Invoice Management 

• New ‘Attachments’ tab
  A new ‘Attachments’ tab is now visible in both the Validation screen and the Coding screen. This tab allows you to select and view a PDF attachment directly.
• PDF attachments visible in Validation screen, Document detail page and Coding screen
  PDF files attached to a document can now be viewed directly via the Validation screen, the Document detail page and the Coding screen. Previously, you could only view PDF attachments after downloading them.
  If you select an attachment, it will be displayed directly on your screen. This can help with coding, for example, or when you receive Peppol invoices via Blue10. Some suppliers send a PDF invoice along with a Peppol-XML.
  For now, it is only possible to see attachments in PDF format. Our wish is to extend this to other formats in the future.
• E-invoices now also downloadable from the archive
  Peppol e-invoices are now also available in archive downloads. Previously, only PDF documents were downloaded from the archive. You can find this function through Settings > Download archive. This makes downloading the archive more complete.
• Expanded display of data from Peppol XML documents
  The legal registration name of the supplier is now also displayed. Previously, only the supplier party name was shown in the overview, which did not provide sufficient clarity in some cases. In addition, the item description will now also be shown, giving you more detailed information about the invoiced items.

Exact Globe

• Project code and cost unit now also shown in invoice header in Exact Globe
  The project code and/or cost unit you enter on the first coding line in the validation screen is/are now automatically copied in the invoice header. Previously, you had to add this manually in Exact Globe to be able to filter on it. This change allows you to find invoices faster and create overviews more easily in Exact Globe.

Finance & Operations

• Preferred ledger number of a supplier automatically filled in in validation screen
  In Finance & Operations, it is possible to enter multiple preferred ledgers number on the supplier. These are then shown first in Finance & Operations when booking. If you have a list of multiple preferred ledger numbers, you can again select one default preference from that list, which always appears first.
  If you have set the default preferred ledger number from the list of preferred ledger numbers in Finance & Operations, Blue10 automatically uses this in the validation screen.

Resolved issues

Invoice Management – General

• Improved navigation: Next/Previous document
  Navigation between documents via the document detail pages (Purchase, Sales and Packing slip) has been improved. The navigation arrows are immediately visible and lead to the next or previous document with virtually no delay.

New functionalities

General

• Blue10 login method extended with multi-factor authentication
  It is now possible in Blue10 to add an extra layer of protection when logging into the Blue10 environment. This extension to the login method is optional and works for users logging in with an email address and password. With the extension, Blue10 asks for a verification code in addition to a correct e-mail address and password combination. The user generates this code himself via a self-selected external app, such as Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator or 1Password. A user with an administrator role has several options via Settings > Authentication Management regarding the management of multifactor authentication, such as a requirement for all users in the managed environment and how often Blue10 asks for an authentication code when logging in. Want to know more about multifactor authentication? Read more here.

Improved

Contract Management

• End date mandatory with new contract
  Are you entering a new contract in Contract Management? To see in time when a contract is about to expire, it is now mandatory to enter an end date under ‘ Periods’ while entering a contract. If the contract does not have an end date because it has been concluded for an indefinite period, flip the ‘Indefinite’ switch. This is 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 with Exact Online
  Do you link Blue10 with Exact Online and work with return orders? A number of changes apply, one of which is that you process return orders in the same way as a purchase order:

1. Do you link Blue10 with Exact Online and work with return orders? A number of changes apply, one of which is that you process return orders in the same way as a purchase order:1. Are you working with a credit invoice? When you choose ‘Credit’ in the Currency/Type field during validation, the number in the Number 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.

• 2. From now on, the return number field on the Document detail page: Purchase (Return #) is automatically filled in. This ensures that the number of returns is also correct when the Order status is set to Completed. Please note! If you want to use this functionality, it is necessary to reconnect to Exact Online.

• Requesting a Peppol ID in Blue10
  Do you want to receive documents via Peppol in Blue10? From now on, as an administrator, you can request a Peppol ID in Blue10. To do so, go to Settings > Inbox settings. Select the desired company. Click on ‘Request Peppol receiver ID’. A new window opens. Fill in the requested fields and click on ‘Submit’. We will then contact you for further processing. Would you like to register several companies? As each ID is unique, you need to register each company separately. Does the company already have a Peppol ID? Then you will see the Peppol ID with 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

Improved

Invoice Management – General

• ‘Email settings’ page in Blue10 is now called ‘Inbox settings’
  The ‘Email settings’ page has been expanded with additional features, so that it is now also possible to request or see a Peppol ID per company. As the description ‘Email settings’ is no longer adequate, the name has been changed to ‘Inbox settings’. This can be found under the button ‘Settings’ heading Blue10.

Invoice Management- General

• View, change and unlink login methods
  From now on, users will be able to see 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 as a user have more control over your used login methods. This functionality can be found in My settings under the new heading ‘Login methods’. Are you working in an Enterprise environment where you can only log in with Microsoft or Google? Then it is not possible to change an email address or password or unlink your account, as these methods are managed centrally.

• Uploader of document visible in validation 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 see this, go to Validate in Blue10. Open the desired document. In the middle block, to the right of Purchase Invoice, there is now the icon of a user. When you move your cursor over it, the name of the user who uploaded the document appears.

Improved

Invoice Management – General

• Spaces before and after entered value in Validation Screen automatically removed
  If a user entered a text field in the invoice header such as an Invoice Number, Description or Packing Slip Number in the Validation screen 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 if invoice date is too far in the future
  When an invoice date is more than 90 days in the future from the present date, users will now see a notification in the validation screen. It’s not often that an invoice date is that far in the future, so the notification can help prevent errors in registration. You can click away the notification and still save the invoice, or cancel saving the invoice. The notification appears once per session and then reappears if the scenario occurs again.
  

Invoice Management – AFAS

• Update confrontation process AFAS Profit 4 
  Since November 2024, AFAS has delivered version 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

• Adjustment when searching by name or e-mail address when creating 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 email 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. You can do this through Settings > Users > + New user Note: do you work 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.
