Invoice Management – General

• Changes to the users page
  Administrators can now see a user’s latest activity on the user page. This information is displayed behind the Active setting. In addition, the settings for user rights have been given their own section under the new heading Basic rights.
• Groups: view and manage users
  The group page in the User overview has been expanded. When you open a group, you can now immediately see which users are part of that group. You can easily manage groups by removing users with the cross or adding users with the Add user button. Only users who are not yet part of another group can be selected.

Invoice Management – General

• Find original documents faster with the Source Overview
  Imported documents could be found in three different places in Blue10: the batch overview, imported documents and received emails. This caused some confusion among users. That is why the three different places have been merged into one clear page where all original documents can be found: the Source Overview. If you have validation rights in Blue10, you now can easily find the source of a document and download the original file via the source overview. The source overview now also allows you to find Peppol documents and documents imported via the Blue10 App. Read more here. For the time being, the batch overview, imported documents and received emails will remain available alongside the Source Overview. These pages will disappear on 1 November. If you have reasons to keep them, because a certain functionality is missing from the Source Overview, please let us know. Contact our Customer Support so that we can further optimise the Source Overview.

Improved

Invoice Management – General

• Routes with an error message
  The status: Routes with an error message has been expanded. Previously, only routes with an inactive user or group selected were displayed here. Now we also display routes with an invalid value in the advanced fields such as ledgers, projects and dimensions. If all values in the route are invalid, the route will no longer be applied. If the route contains valid values, the route will be applied for these values.
• Visible which user is blocking a document
  When another user has a document open in the validation screen, this document is blocked. It is now clear which user has the document open and is therefore blocking it.

Invoice Management – Business Central

• Dimension restrictions from Business Central visible in Blue10
  If you have set dimension restrictions in Business Central, you will now see these in two places in Blue10: in the Validation screen and when creating a new booking template. Previously created booking templates remain unchanged. This optimisation applies if you are working in Business Central with at least Blue10 extension version B10IMxx.7.2.3.
• 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 matching 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 matching 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 purchase orders and lines from different purchase orders at the same time.
• Improvements to the coding lines for Business Central
  From now on, you will see two new improvements in the validation screen and when creating a booking template:
  1. Blue10 now automatically fills in the Amount field for GL-account and fixed assets from Business Central, which previously had to be done manually. This saves you a manual step.
  2. The Price per unit field is now automatically filled in based on the net amount on the same coding line. This was not previously a mandatory field in Blue10, but if it was not filled in, it could cause error messages when posting to Business Central.
• Match purchase orders to the “pay to” supplier of the purchase order
  In Blue10, it is now possible to match purchase orders based on the “Pay to” setting in Business Central. If the supplier card in Business Central is set to pay invoices from one supplier via another supplier (Pay to), Blue10 will take this into account. In the validation screen, the purchase orders of the assigned Pay to supplier are now visible for invoices from the original supplier. Please note: To be able to work with this, you must set the Match invoice By setting to Pay-to Vendor in the Blue10 setup of Business Central.

Contract Management

• Access to multiple Contract Management environments with a single account
  Whereas previously a separate account was required for each Contract Management environment, you can now log in to multiple environments with a single account.
• Supplier code added to supplier
  The display of suppliers now works in the same way as in Invoice Management. In addition to the name of the supplier, the supplier code is also displayed. This allows you to search by both name and supplier code.
• Coloured avatars in Contract Management
  Each user now has their own avatar colour, making it easier to see which user has created or modified a contract or posted a comment. If you want to set a different colour for your avatar, you can do so on the profile page.
• Overview of settings for email notifications
  The user overview shows which users have enabled or disabled email notifications.
• Always access contracts you have created yourself
  Several changes have been made to Contract Management to improve usability and better align the settings with user rights. This allows users to always find contracts they have created themselves:
  1. The “New contract” button is now only visible to users with access to at least one category./
  2. Users with the rights to only view their own contracts can now only create contracts under their own name. The “Contract Manager” field is automatically filled in with the user’s name.
  3. Users without “no category” rights can no longer create a contract without selecting a category.
  4. Administrators can no longer remove their own administrator rights or disable access to a category.

Blue10 App

• Logging into Blue10 with Google Workspace
  With the Blue10 app update, you can now log in with Google Workspace, just like with the desktop version of Blue10.

New functionalities

Invoice Management – General

• New in Blue10: the Integrations page
  A new menu has been added in Blue10: Integrations. It is located at the top between ‘Support’ and ‘Settings’. This button takes you to the new Integrations page, where you can see in one overview which ERP-systems Blue10 can be linked to. This way you can immediately see whether your ERP-system is supported. Want to know more about the Integration page? Read more here.  
• Creating new company with the Integration page
  Creating a new company has been adjusted. When you click on ‘’+New company”, the new Integration page will open. Find your ERP-system here and click Connect. You can now enter a name and create a company. Want to know more about how to create a company for your accounting system? Read more here. 
• Create a new company without an integration
  When creating a company without an integration, we have added an extra step. After entering the company name, a number of questions follow. With these questions, we want to get a better picture of the use of Blue10 without an integration so that we can possibly support it better in the future. Read more here. 
• Request an integration
  On the new Integrations page, it is possible for administrators in Blue10 to request an integration with an ERP-system. If you are not an administrator, you will only see the existing integrations. Click Suggest to open an overview of already requested integrations. With the Request button, you can indicate that you are also interested in one of the integrations. If your ERP-system is not listed, use the button Request a new ERP integration to request a new integration. Want to know more about how to request an integration? Read more here. 
• Managing requested integrations 
  On the new Integrations page, it is possible to manage previously submitted requests. Using Our requests, you get an overview of the requested ERP-integrations. In this overview, you can see who requested a link and on which date. If a particular link is no longer wanted, you can indicate here that it is no longer needed. 
• Change ERP-system
  In the Companies overview, you can now change the ERP-system of existing company using the Change ERP integration button. The new integration page will then open. Previously, this was a drop-down menu. Read more here. 
• ERP-systems no longer supported hidden in overview
  In the old dropdown menu, it was possible to choose the ERP-systems Axapta, Unit 4 and Unit 4 API. For new users, it is no longer possible to create a company with one of the links. To avoid confusion, they are now no longer shown on the Integrion page. For environments that already have a link with Axapta, Unit 4 and Unit 4 API, the ERP-system will still be shown on the Integration page. 

Invoice Management – Enterprise

• New: reporting page
  Users with an administrator role and the Enterprise subscription will now see a new page in Blue10 under Settings: the Reporting page. Here you can download a number of (renewed) reporting templates in Dutch or English. The templates are created in Power BI and provide insights into your invoice processing processes based on your own data in Blue10. Read more here. The data is retrieved securely using the Odata API. 
   
  Due to the new method of retrieving data with the Odata API, the new Reporting page will eventually replace the Reporting Access page. The (outdated) reporting templates on the Reporting Access page are no longer available for download. However, you can still check the connection information here if you still use these reports.
• Creating and deleting Odata API key 
  Administrators in Blue10 with an Enterprise subscription can now create or delete a new API key themselves. This access key is required to access data from the Blue10 environment via the Odata API, for example, to use for reports in Power BI. Go to Settings > API key Management and click on New API key to create a new API key. Fill in the requested details and the new API key will appear in the overview. The API key will only appear once, so make sure you save it carefully.
  
  To delete an API key, click on the API key you want to delete in the API key overview. The Delete button will now appear on the right-hand side. Please note that the API key is now also deactivated in all places where it has been used.

Improved

Invoice Management – General

• Invalid values displayed at the top of routes
  When an invalid value is entered in an auto or suggestion route, it is now displayed at the top of the drop-down menu. This means that after opening a route, it is immediately clear why a route no longer works.
• Purchase order search window expanded with additional search fields
  The purchase order search window has been expanded, providing more options for searching purchase orders to match in the accounting system. Which search fields have been added depends on the accounting system you connect Blue10 to:
  • Business Central – In addition to the current search fields, the following fields have been added or modified:
    • Search in orders – now called Order number/Description
    • Packing slip number – added: search by the packing slip sent with the delivery
    • No./code – added: search by number or code from the order description
    • Line description – added: search by words from the order description
  • Exact Online, Exact Globe, Afas, Netsuite – In addition to the current search fields, the following fields have been added or modified:
    • Search in orders – now called Order number/Description
    • Line description – added: search for words from the order description

Invoice Management – Exact Globe

• Improved display of purchase orders for Exact Globe users
  The display of purchase orders in the purchase order search window has been improved for Exact Globe users. Purchase orders that have been fully invoiced and received are now considered completed. These completed purchase orders are no longer displayed in the purchase order search window. This provides a clearer overview of open purchase orders.

Invoice Management – Finance & Operations

• Name of dimensions shown for D365FO
  The name of a dimension from D365FO is now synchronised to Blue10. Previously, within Blue10, the dimensions were displayed with the names Dimension 1 to 5. Afterwards you could customise the names with translations yourself. The translations have now been removed, and the exact dimension name is adopted from D365FO. 
• Additional setup information visible on the integrations menu tab for D365FO
  For D365FO users with administrator rights, Blue10 now also shows which settings have been selected for Blue10 in D365FO. The settings are taken directly from the ‘Account payable parameters’ in D365FO and can only be changed there if change is desired.
   
  By making these settings visible, users can verify the correct settings in Blue10 themselves, and Customer support can more easily review a support request. Go to Settings > Companies > Integrations to view the settings.

Contract Management

• Customise contract details and visualisation
  You can now customise the format of contract details and visualisation. Use the new drag bar to enlarge or reduce the display: click on the bar and drag it to the desired size. This allows you to set the layout to suit your preferences.

Invoice Management – Exact Online

• Exact Online US
  It is now possible to connect to Exact Online administrations using the Server country US. We already supported connections with administrations in the Netherlands, Belgium, UK, France, Germany and Spain. You can select the Server country at ‘ERP Adapter information’ in the Company overview.

Improved

Invoice Management – Business Central

• Business Central: renewed appearance of the purchase order tab
  The display of the purchase order(s) on the purchase order tab has a renewed design. You will see the same information, or more information than before. In addition, the information on the purchase order tab is clearer due to rearrangement of data. You can now open and close it, so that only the information relevant to you is visible.
• New extension available for integration with Business Central
  For users who integrate Blue10 with Business Central (On Premise and SaaS), a new extension update is available: version 7.2.5. This update fixes a number of common error messages. If you integrate with BC SaaS, install the app via the app source. If you work with an on-premise integration, download the app via Blue10’s company management. As an administrator, go to Settings > Companies > Select company > navigate to Integration at the bottom right > Click on Download. Then install the app in your Business Central package. Your Business Central solution centre/partner can help you with this. The following has been resolved with extension update 7.2.5:
  • Blue10 now displays a warning when an invoice contains an empty line type. After confirmation, the invoice can be posted in Business Central.
  • Return orders are supported when using purchase order line selection.
  • Posted receipt lines from the G/L account type are displayed in Blue10.
  • Open Document with the “Show related entries” button works again in “Search entries” if the provisional document number contains an H.

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.

• 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.

New functionalities

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
  If you have signed up one or more companies to receive invoices through Peppol, you will now also see the Peppol ID in Blue10. This can be done through Settings > Inbox settings > Select the desired company.

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.
