Release 2025, January

Support for FIK, Bankgiro and Plusgiro payments

Payment handling in the incoming invoice process (Workflow) now also supports FIK (Denmark), Bankgiro and Plusgiro (Sweden) and IBAN payments, in addition to bank account payments. The following fields have been added to the Accounting document table:

• Bank account
• IBAN
• Postal giro
• Giro type (for FIK)

This makes it easier to see the payment information given in the incoming invoice, and to improve handling of any difference in the payment information. These columns are also displayed in the default layouts where applicable.

Incorrect quantity when using Payroll

The lineQuantity from the Payroll XML file didn't show the correct value in the Quantity column in the Voucher table. This has been solved.

MDM: Duplicate ID after Change account no. processing

Under certain circumstances, the Change account no. processing in the General ledger account table produced duplicate PublicIDs, which prevented the Master Data Management (MDM) synchronisation from finishing. This has been solved.

Updated default layouts

The fields Grouping code and Grouping category have been added to the default layout Chart of accounts (12958), as these fields are mandatory in the SAF-T report version 1.3.

Since the document viewer has been available in the side panel for quite some time, the previous viewer has now been removed from the following layouts, to offer a consistent experience when viewing documents:

• Voucher registration (12952)
• Incoming documents (12935)
• General ledger transactions (12964)
• Voucher search (13004)
• Supplier reports (12974)
• Transfer of Capital Assets (13008)

The link to the Norwegian Kontoutskrift hovedbok report in the default layout General ledger transactions (12964) has been corrected.

SAF-T 1.3 updated format

The SAF-T 1.3 format enhances flexibility according to Norwegian bookkeeping regulations. Four elements and one structure that were already meant to be mandatory according to the documentation, have now changed from optional to mandatory also in the XSD schema. Datatypes have been modified to accommodate more characters according to reported needs. The only valid mapping option now is mapping to the business statement using the <GroupingCategory> and <GroupingCode> elements.

The changes are implemented in the Export SAF-T processing that is available from the Company information table.

The SAF-T 1.3 format determines the income statement codes (næringsspesifikasjon) as mandatory fields.

The Standard account table has been updated with new values ​​for SAF-T 1.3 in the Grouping code and Grouping category columns.

This is the basis for linking correct SAF-T codes to general ledger accounts.

In the General ledger account table, use the Set standard accounts processing to get suggestions for mapping between the account and the SAF-T code. The Grouping code and Grouping category columns are updated with suggestions for mapping the general ledger accounts.

This processing will map the general ledger accounts to the grouping code and grouping category based upon what is set in the Standard account table, that has been populated for all the standard accounts that exist in this table.

When ordering the report, if the mandatory fields Grouping code and Grouping category are missing, a warning is displayed before exporting the SAF-T file.

Import of SAF-T file

You can now browse for a SAF-T file containing header information and upload the information to the Company information table using the processing Import Danish SAF-T file. This is required by the Danish authorities.

Invoice responses to NemHandel

You can now send invoice responses through NemHandel. Business NXT will first attempt to send through PEPPOL, but if the receiver isn’t found, the invoice response message is sent through NemHandel. In addition, it’s now possible to send a response with status Rejected, from the Batch table using the processing Reject incoming invoice. Running the processing sets the batch as suspended.

Rejected invoices added to task overview

A new Rejected invoice task overview definition shows incoming invoices that have been rejected and are waiting for further processing.

Export of accounting data to Danish Accounting Basis format

You can now generate a zip file containing the general ledger transactions and the related documents. Run the Export SAF-T processing, set the date range and choose the Export Accounting data to Accounting Basis (CSV) option in the Company information table.

The documents related to the selected general ledger transactions from the Accounting document attachment table and Order document table are included. These documents will be converted to PDF files, stamped with the accounting year, voucher number, and page number on top of each page and included in the zip file. Documents attached to a voucher for a sales order or a purchase order are excluded, only the invoice file itself is included.

If you select Export master data and each period's transactions in separate files option, the CSV file will be split into individual files for each accounting period.

You find the zip file under My files.

Using the same voucher number in Update supplier transactions processing

When running the processing Update supplier transactions in the Batch table, the Authorisation field for the batch with origin 46 - Split batch, cost transactions. This makes it possible to add new voucher lines with the same voucher number to the batch even if the Voucher no. control in the Company information table is set to 2 - Check that voucher no. has not been used before or 3 - Check both voucher series and numbers.

Regenerate stock balance

When changing Location in the Shipment table for shipments not yet realised and then running the Regenerate stock balance processing in the Stock balance table, the Location was incorrectly changed back to the original location from the Reservation table. This has now been corrected and the Location in the Shipment table remains.

Lookup in Table no. and Column no. fields

You can now look up Table no. and Column no. values from where this is relevant, for example in the Calculated column table and XML mapping table.

Lookup for VAT and accounting group

When the Stock consistency control on postings option for Accounting instances 3 in the Company information table was unchecked, the VAT and accounting group table was incorrectly used for lookup when editing the field VAT and accounting group in different tables such as the Product table, VAT- and accounting information table etc.

This has been solved, and the Text table with text type 17 is now used as lookup.

Rounding of decimals when receiving invoices

Under certain circumstances, when invoice was received on order lines with rounding of decimals in quantity, the invoice receival would be blocked, even though the value being invoice received was the same as the finished value. Now, invoice receival is only blocked if the invoiced quantity is actually higher than the finished quantity.

Changed sorting of Forms in the Send dialog

The sorting in the Forms dropdown in the Send dialog has changed. Forms are now sorted ascending on Form no.. In addition, forms marked as default forms will be shown on top of the list, and the default form will also be preselected.

Bank partner processing in the background

The Automatic reconciliation processing in the Bank partner table now runs in the background. You can follow the progress in the notification panel.

Task automation execution log improvements

If you changed the Show per page value to a number larger than the total number of entries in the execution log, the list wasn’t sorted correctly. This has been solved.

In the log for automated tasks, the TraceID is now stored for each execution. This can be used for troubleshooting purposes.

Approvers suggested in a wrong order when added automatically

Under some circumstances, flow recipients were added in the wrong order when using the send-on flow feature. One of these situations was when superiors were added based on the Required number of steps or 4Eye principle. In this case, the superior was added in the first approval step and the actual approver in the second step. This has been corrected and recipients are suggested in the correct order in all situations.

Display of negative values

For users with Swedish and Finnish language, negative values were presented with a dash sign (example: −10) instead of a minus sign (example: -10). This caused errors when exporting data into Excel, since a value preceded by a dash sign wasn't treated as a number. This has been solved.

Comments added in Visma.net Approval

Reverse pre-registration for invoices in Approval flow prevented

Users must now first use the Cancel approval processing in the Approval task table if they need to use the Reverse pre-registration processing in the Batch table for documents currently in Approval flow. This is needed to avoid mismatch between documents in Business NXT and in Visma.net Approval. Documents with the 4 - Approved, 5 - Rejected, 7 - Cancelled or 8 - Error approval statuses are not active in Visma.net Approval and can be reversed directly if needed.

Visma.net AutoReport payment message not stored

In some special cases, payment messages from Visma.net AutoReport weren’t stored properly. This has been solved.

Side panel document viewer improvement

When a layout is reopened, the side panel keeps the state it had before being closed.

Change fonts in the Form element table

You can now change fonts in the Form element table. The columns Font, Type and Style can be edited.

The following fonts are available:

• Arial
• Courier New
• Lucida Console
• Segoe UI
• Times New Roman

Template usage improvement

Previously, when a template was applied to a new company, tables that contained the same number of rows in both the new company and the template weren’t overwritten. Now, the Company information table is replaced with the table from the template. This correct behaviour will be implemented also for other tables in coming releases.

Closing active sessions

If you selected a batch and viewed the attached documents in the side panel, a new session was added in the Active session table with type 6 - Partial request. These sessions were never closed automatically. This has been solved.

Standard Norwegian company data

In the standard Norwegian company data template, the Rounding amount 1 field is now set to zero in the Currency table for currency NOK.

Updated default layout

Unprocessed Payroll documents weren’t displayed on the Payroll/Expense tab in the default layout Voucher registration (12952). This has been solved.

New default layouts

A new updated version of the VAT layout (13080) is now available to include functionality for VAT reporting, AutoReport processings and summaries. Several new logistic layouts are now available. These are not visible by default in the menu, but you can try them out by opening them directly from the Layout manager, or make them visible in the menu selecting Show in menu.

Updated default layouts

The default layout Purchase order (12936) had an incorrect table setting on the workflow tab Registration, causing the focus to move to the subtab Delivery alternative instead of moving to the next row in the Order line table when reaching the end of a row. This has been solved.
