Release 2025, March

OAuth 2.0 added as e-mail authentication method

Since Microsoft is dropping support for Basic Authentication for SMTP with Exchange Online e-mail server in September 2025, the recommended OAuth 2.0 e-mail authentication method has been added as alternative.

For setting up, Microsoft OAuth 2.0 must be selected in the E-mail configuration processing field in E-mail company configuration or E-mail system configuration table. In addition the Configure OAuth2.0 processing must be executed from the same table, for setting the additional configuration values needed.

Creating a new company from a template

Creating a company from a template company with millions of transactions will usually not succeed. Improvements have been made to prevent this error, but it can still occur if any of the tables in the template company consist of a very large number of rows.

Display of API identifiers in the online help

You now find the API identifier for all table fields in the online help. These identifiers can for example be used in Business NXT GraphQL API.

Updated default layout

The default layout Suppliers (12994) has been updated. The Supplier info tab is now connected to the Transactions tab, so that when a supplier is chosen on the first tab, it's also automatically selected on the second tab.

New printout layout

A new printout layout, Delivery notes print setup (13094), has been added. You can use this layout to print delivery notes, by creating a print form of Form type 8 - Delivery note, with a reference to this layout in the Print layout no. column.

Display of week numbers

Previously, week number fields weren't displayed according to the setting for Week format in the Company information table. This has been solved.

Attachments in the side panel document viewer

The side panel document viewer has been improved to always show the primary document as PDF, if this exists.

To differentiate between the primary document and its attachments, two attachment types are now available:

• Main PDF: The primary document in PDF format
• Attached PDF: Attachments to the primary document

If you select a different file type for the document in the document viewer, this will be the default view until the you sign out from the system.

The order of how documents in are displayed in Visma.net Approval has also been changed to always show the main PDF document first.

Saving changes in Table/Form settings

Previously, in design mode, changes made under Table/Form settings weren't preserved. This has been solved.

Cancelling approval in Workflow details

You can now cancel approval in the Workflow details page element for tasks of the following statuses:

1 - Sent

2 - Pending workflow

3 - Waiting for approval

9 - In approval flow

Translated task overview descriptions

The task overview descriptions that are shown on the start page are now translated. The descriptions can also be customised in the Transl. type column in the Translation table, using the translation type 9 - Task overview description (Task overview no.) and a reference to the task in the Task overview no. column. The default layout Translations has been updated to support this, with a new tab, Task overviews.

Upload of files

You can no longer change the setting for uploading files to File service. There's no need for this, as it now happens automatically for all documents.

Sorting by sequence number

Sorting by the Sort seq. no. across various tables is now supported. This can be useful when you want to control the order of forms, such as when using the Insert row function. This change helps you better manage the order and organisation of your data.

Updated Norwegian company template

The General ledger account list in the Norwegian company template has been updated with Grouping code and Grouping category fields.

Updated default layout

A new tab, AutoReport setup, has been added to the default layout Base data accounting - Setup accounting (12959), to facilitate entering required information needed when sending the VAT report.

Formatting of columns with amount or quantity

By default, the number of decimals for quantity columns is collected from the Number of decimals in qty column in the Company information table, while the number of decimals for amount columns are set to 2.

Now, you can customise the number of decimals (maximum 6) by clicking the settings icon in a column header in design mode, and selecting Fixed number.

Template usage improvement finalised

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. During several releases, the correct behaviour has gradually been implemented for different tables, and now, all lines in all tables are replaced with the data from the template.

New origin in the Batch table

A new origin, 49 - Central is available in the Batch table. This is used for migration from Visma Global or Visma Contracting to Business NXT, using the Central tool.

Invoice amount considered when processing incoming documents

When running the Process document processing for a document of type 1 - Invoice or 7 - Credit note, an additional check is now done on the invoice amount. If the value starts with a negative sign, the handling of the document type is reversed. This means that an invoice with a negative amount will be handled as a credit note, while a credit note with negative amount will be handled as an invoice.

Missing parameter when using factoring for AutoInvoice

When sending an invoice that includes a Swedish bankgiro account, SE:BANKGIRO is expected to be specified in the payment information in the XML. This didn't happen if the source was the Factoring company table. This has been solved.

Batch invoicing improvements

Two issues related to batch invoicing has been solved:

• If a batch invoice had more than one attachment, Business NXT the invoicing process would not complete as expected.
• When batch invoicing with additional sorting with break line on a column from an underlying table, the resulting accounting batch would contain one invoice voucher per order, not one per batch invoice.

Limitation in the Document delivery e-mail functionality

The Document delivery e-mail functionality was limited to only sending to one (the first) record in the Document delivery e-mail table, even if more records with the same combination of Associate no. and Doc. types existed when sending e-mail for this document type. The other records with same combination were excluded. This has been solved.

Pre-registration for incoming invoices

When the setting Pre-registration for incoming invoices (Swedish setup) was enabled in the Workflow processing field in the Company information table, the priority in the Open supplier entry table wasn't updated after approval. This has been solved. The priority defined on the voucher type assigned to the incoming invoice series will now be updated on vouchers and open supplier entries after approval.

Looking up customers in the Create order copy dialog

When using the Create order copy processing in the Order table and looking up a customer number from the drop-down list, all associates with Cust. no. set in the Associate table are now listed.

Preview of attachments in the side panel

When new voucher lines were added, the preview of attached documents in the side panel was lost. This has been solved.
