Release 2026, August

The following enhancements and improvements to existing functionality have been released this month.

2026-08-28

Display of XML content for outgoing payments

The View entry processing in the Visma.net AutoPay log table now also supports display of XML files of file type 4 - Outgoing payment. This may be needed in situations when payments have wrong or missing mandatory information, and the AutoPay pre-validator stops it for further processing by the banks.

Since the XML files of file type 4 are only of interest for adjustment of the payment information before re-sending them, they will be automatically deleted after 14 days.

Issue with sending on flow

For a short period of time, documents couldn't be sent on flow, if the attachment file name was missing. This has been solved.

Wrong organisational unit number assigned

When you from an Organisational unit table joined the Order table (in form view), the organisation number on the order row would sometimes get an erroneous value assigned when creating a new order. This has been solved.

2026-08-24

Automatically selected options in the Create rule processing

In order to provide more accurate default criteria when creating accounting rules, the Zero VAT rate and Credit note options are now automatically selected in the Create rule processing, based on the relevant voucher information.

Bank system 98 set to not in use

The bank system 98 (Visma AutoPay, the legacy version of AutoPay) in the Bank partner table is now set to 98 - Visma AutoPay - not in use. If you try to run the Create payment suggestion processing with this bank system, no open entries are processed, and an error message is displayed.

2026-08-20

Change account no. processing

The Change account no. processing is now available in the General ledger account table, in order to change the account number on all rows where New account no. is filled out.

For best results, only change one account at a time, and check first that all related transaction match after the change, including balances on that account.
Note:
This is a resource-intensive processing that will impact performance, especially if you’re using common tables. Ideally, pick a time outside of business hours to not disturb others, and make sure to monitor the results carefully.

Correction cost posted on rounding account

When invoice receiving a production order with cost difference, the cost difference would be posted to the rounding account. This has been solved.

Refreshing the accounting grid in Visma.net Approval

Previously, the accounting grid in Visma.net Approval didn't refresh after you saved or discarded your changes, so edited rows stayed visible and marked as changed. This has been solved.

2026-08-19

Improved logic for stock availability warning suppression

Previously, enabling the Suppress warning for stock availability setting under Order processing in the Company information table didn't suppress warnings when changing the warehouse on an order line or when selecting a product without an existing stock balance record. This occurred because the system only evaluated warning suppression against active stock balance records. This has been solved, and warnings are suppressed consistently across all order lines and warehouse selections.

"AG Grid warning" message

During a shorter period of time during this week, warnings including AG Grid were displayed in the user interface, causing some annoyance, but not affecting the functionality. This has been solved.

Task overview links opens the wrong tab

When a layout with multiple tabs was already open, links from the Task overview didn't navigate to the correct tab (except to the first tab in the layout). This has been solved.

Updated Danish standard company file

In the Danish standard company file (denfirm.txt), the option to exclude bank accounts from validation is now enabled, since certain Danish bank account formats didn't validate correctly.

2026-08-18

Pinning the main menu to keep it open

You can now pin the main menu so that it stays open while you work, by clicking your name at the bottom of the menu and selecting Pin menu. Either the main menu or Open layouts can be pinned at a time, which means that pinning one, unpins the other.

2026-08-17

Assigning the next period using +

Using the + key didn't work for assigning the next value in the following columns:

  • The Period column in the Accounting period table
  • The VAT term column in the VAT period table

This has been solved.

2026-08-14

System-defined mapping for buyer reference added

A system-defined mapping has been added for the Invoice reference field in the Accounting document table. The field is now automatically populated from cbc:BuyerReference.

Rule matching improvement

Rule matching has been improved so that special characters no longer incorrectly split text into separate matching words. Only spaces are treated as word separators, preventing rules from being proposed on voucher based on fragments of hyphenated terms, product codes, invoice references, and similar text.

Font size on column level

You can now specify font size on a column level for printouts, both in the tables and the graphical forms editor, in order to allow for example barcodes in a larger font size than regular text columns.

Search improvements

The following improvements related to search functionality have been implemented:

  • When you have performed a search from the search row, you can now edit this value by double-clicking in the field (unless it is a look-up field). Previously, double-clicking would remove the existing value.
  • Entered values in search look-ups are now preserved, so the next search in the same table will show the last search values entered.
  • When pressing Ctrl + F in a layout with a table in form view, the horizontal scrollbar was missing in the search window. This has been solved.

Side panel improvement

Previously, when selecting a new tab in a workflow step, it didn't update the side panel, causing the Documents tab and Workflow tab to remain locked on the last selected table, rather than updating to match the table in the active tab. This made it difficult to view context-specific attachments and approval details while navigating a process. This has now been improved, so that the side panel automatically follows the selected workflow step.

2026-08-11

Selection of lines using keyboard shortcut

When selecting an area in a grid and then pressing Shift + Space to mark the corresponding lines, the marking was inconsistent with the selection. This has been solved.

2026-08-10

Support for editing additional settings when creating accounting rules

You can now edit the Credit note, Zero VAT rate, and Overwrite already filled values criteria in the Create rule dialog. The Overwrite already filled values option is selected by default when creating a new rule using the Create rule processing in the Voucher table.

Improvements for flow groups with amount limits

The following improvements have been made related to flow groups with amount limits:

  • Previously, when sending documents for approval, amount limits could fail when a flow group was added manually to an incoming document, even though the same flow group worked as intended when it was selected automatically from the supplier. Now, manually selected flow groups follow the amount limit rules correctly when responsible users are added.
  • Additional responsible users weren't automatically added when invoice amount limits were exceeded for flow groups assigned to cost units. This has been solved. Amount-limit validation now works correctly for flow groups assigned to cost units, suppliers, or default flow groups. When the configured threshold is exceeded, the additional responsible approver is automatically included in the approval flow.

Total discount causing incorrect VAT amount calculation

Errors related to total discounts when calculating VAT amounts in the invoice XML, including combinations of positive and negative lines, have now been fixed.

New default electronic address schemeID for Finland

The default schemeID used for sending electronic invoices in Finland has been changed from 0037 to 0216.

2026-08-06

Importing layouts from another customer or organisation

In the Layout manager, you can now import layout definitions from another customer or organisation, provided that you have been granted System supervisor permissions for both customers/organisations.

Displaced fields when using pinned columns and searching

In tables, combining pinned columns with the search row resulted in overlapping and displaced the search fields of the frozen columns. Now, the search row stays aligned with the rest of the table.

Quick find (Ctrl + I) not marking layouts as Open

After a page refresh (F5), the Quick find (Ctrl + I) didn't mark layouts as Open, nor were they displayed at the top of the list. This has been solved.

2026-08-05

Importing access group definitions from another customer or organisation

Under Access management, you can now import access group definitions from another customer or organisation, provided that you have been granted System supervisor permissions for both customers/organisations.

Restrict AI access to certain access groups

It is now possible to require that access groups have AI permissions. This is activated with the Use specific access groups only option in the AI permission field in the System information table.

When enabled, AI permissions must be activated in the Access management window for all relevant access groups. This is found at the top of the access administration window under AI access group usage.

Quick find (Ctrl+I) returning "Could not open layout"

When trying to open fixed layouts (i.e. layouts without a layout no.) from the Quick find (Ctrl+I), a "Could not open layout" error page was shown. This applied to all layouts in the "Management" and "New features" menu categories. This has been solved.

2026-08-03

Business NXT Forms Editor

Improvements have been made in the Graphical editor for print forms:
  • Calculated columns added in the Graphical forms editor did not show any data. This has been solved.
  • Added support for specifying fonts for columns, including barcodes.
  • Added support for use of macros in column headers.
