Continia Banking 2026 R2, Service Pack 1

Release date, online: November 1, 2026
Release date, on-premises: pending
Continia Banking version: 29.1.0

New or changed functionality

Functional areaDescriptionID
General ApplicationTranslatable source strings have been updated across Authentication, Bank Account, Bank System Setup, Payment Status, PSP, and CSV Import, including captions, tooltips, and labels on the affected pages, tables, and codeunits. Users working in non-English languages will see improved and up-to-date translations, with no changes to existing functionality.58769
General ApplicationFor a valid Norwegian IBAN, the IBAN lookup now fills in the Bank Account No. field with the full 11-digit account number from the IBAN instead of a shortened number. Bank accounts that already hold a shortened number are not corrected automatically, but a new lookup offers the full number.84629
General ApplicationService ID filtering on the Bank Files page and in automatic downloads now also includes Danske Bank files returned without a service ID by matching their parent file reference to a configured service ID. Previously, these files were excluded once service IDs were set up. Service IDs on the Service IDs page can now contain only letters and digits.84873
General ApplicationYou can now use the assist edit button on the Archive File Path field to browse for a folder, the same way as the File Path field.85106
Payment ExportA new Translated Fixed Text method in a Banking Template's field selection lets you maintain a fixed text per language, so each vendor, customer, or employee receives it in their own language.84342
Payment ImportA new Apply After Payment Date setting in Banking Import Setup lets Banking Import match a payment to an open customer or vendor invoice, or an open G/L entry, dated after the payment. This covers cases such as a webshop, where the customer pays before the invoice is posted. See Applying payments to entries dated after the payment in Continia Banking.78834
Payment ImportAdded information on the Merge Lines page that enables the user to see the text the bank statement line was matched to the search rule on and also the text the merge of the line was based on.80839
Payment ImportAdded support for importing a FIK file (PBS Sector) file into the Payment Reconciliation Journal. The feature has to be enabled in Continia Feature Mangement. See Importing FIK payments into the payment reconciliation journal.80851
Payment ImportYou can now enable the preview feature Post Sum per Payment Batch in the Continia Feature Management page to post one bank account entry per payment batch and posting date when you post the Payment Reconciliation Journal. This option is available in Banking Import Setup and the posting options dialog, adds the Payment Batch No. column, and can’t be used together with Post Sum per Posting Date.84904
Payment ImportPartner extensions can now set the processing type per Direct Debit Return Entry and add custom fields when it is created or posted. This also enables processing returns for customer payments that are still open or only partially applied, not only fully applied ones.85849
PSPPSP external references that belong to a custom reference rule are now updated by a new job queue. Custom references are generated automatically, not only during setup.84339
PSPPSP matching now supports customer ledger entries with a blank document type in addition to Invoice and Credit Memo. Blank document types can now be matched as expected.84522

Bug fixes

Functional AreaDescriptionID
General ApplicationOn the CTS-CB Authentication Entries page, audit fields such as Bank Code, Bank System Code, and Last Updated could be edited even though insertion and deletion were already blocked. This has been fixed, and the page is now read-only.84961
General ApplicationWe now remove the Payment Journal Setup when the batch or its journal template is deleted. Previously the setup stayed behind, so a new batch with the same name silently picked up the old approval, field restriction, summarizing and automatic sending settings.85188
General ApplicationWhen the daily Refresh Token job ran for a Direct bank system without a stored credential, the following error occurred for Rabobank and Bizcuit: - The date is not valid. This has been fixed, and the job now skips bank systems without a stored credential instead of failing or sending invalid authentication data to Continia Online.85220
General ApplicationWhen CAMT.054 transactions were imported for a bank account that uses BANKSapi EBICS, for example with Import New Payments in the Payment Reconciliation Journal, one of the following errors occurred: - Bank Access Guid is required. - You cannot import transactions from today. This has been fixed. The first camt.054 import now asks you for a start date.85296
General ApplicationWhen the Azure Blob Storage guide was run again for a bank account, PSP agreement, or CSV port, existing folders kept using the previous storage account, so import or export could use the wrong container or fail. This has been fixed, and folders now follow the newly selected account.86207
General ApplicationWhen the Azure Blob Storage guide was run for a bank account without folder setup while two or more other bank accounts of the same bank had one, only the last of those accounts was offered for copying its folders. This has been fixed, and each of those accounts is now offered.86244
Payment ExportIn Payment Journals > Summarizing Payment Setup, the tooltip for Exclude Entry Types had the meanings of All and No swapped and used Vendor instead of Recipient. This has now been fixed, and the German tooltip translation for No is handled through Crowdin.68604
Payment ExportWhen approvers had Email Notification set to Never, a failed notification could leave the payment journal stuck in Pending Approval status after approval was completed. This has been fixed, and the status now updates correctly.82045
Payment ExportWhen Amount (LCY) was changed on a line in the Payment Journal or Direct Debit Journal, or validated on purchase and sales documents, validation gave stale, wrong, or missing results. This has been fixed; Amount (LCY) is now revalidated and calculated correctly, including rounding for foreign currency.84461
Payment ExportWhen payment allocations were used on a purchase or sales document, each allocation and the main payment were validated using the full document amount instead of each allocation's own amount. This has been fixed, so amount-based validation rules now apply correctly on documents with allocations.84484
Payment ExportDirect debit mandates that have not been used for 36 months are now only blocked automatically by journal lines created by Continia Banking, such as Banking journals and payment suggestions. Journal lines from elsewhere, such as Business Central's own Direct Debit Collections, no longer block them, so customers who do not use Continia Banking for direct debits keep their mandates open.84934
Payment ExportWe no longer ask whether to send remittance advice mails automatically when exporting payments where none of them will send a remittance advice by email, for example when the vendor is set to Bank Only. The question is now only shown when at least one payment will actually send an email.84940
Payment ExportWhen you clicked Mandate ID must be specified on the Payment Suggestion Card, it could fail with the following error occurred: The Gen. Journal Line does not exist. Identification fields and values: Journal Template Name='',Journal Batch Name='',Line No.='0'. This has now been fixed by validating that the related record exists before drill-down, and the error source for Mandate ID now points to the suggestion head’s SEPA Mandate ID so the drill-down opens the Payment Suggestion Card.85149
Payment ExportWhen a vendor, customer, employee, or bank account with verified details was deleted or renamed, its verification history was lost and the account could need to be verified again. This has been fixed, and verification history is now kept and automatically restored when the account is re-created or renamed.85327
Payment ExportWhen pending changes to a vendor bank account's secure fields were rejected, the fields were cleared or reset to an outdated value instead of the latest verified value. This has been fixed, and rejecting pending changes now restores the current verified values.85417
Payment ImportIn the Payment Reconciliation Journal, lines found by a search rule with both a merge rule and an account stayed in status Search Rule Matched and never became Completed, and Apply to Account wasn't available for that status. These lines now become Completed on the search rule's account, like lines from any other search rule.82833
Payment ImportWhen a bank system's setup was updated, the Default Statement Description Template and Default Payment Description Template fields on the bank account card were automatically filled in, even after a user had cleared them. This has been fixed, and bank system updates no longer change these fields.83039
Payment ImportFixed a bug where overdue entries setting on the Customer Statement Report caused records not to be created for use in the reconciliation.84502
Payment ImportWhen you used Create Manual Journal Lines in Bank Acc. Reconciliation with multiple statement lines selected, the dialog was shown once for each line. The dialog is now shown only once, and the information from the first dialog is used for the remaining lines.85415
Payment ImportWhen Match GLOE was enabled, filling the ledger entry buffer for automatic matching read G/L Entry once for every open G/L entry, which made matching slow on reconciliations with many open entries. This has been fixed by reading the payment IDs in batches instead.85831
Payment ImportOn the Bank Acc. Reconciliation page, when a split rule split a bank statement line into multiple journal lines and an incoming document was attached to one of them, the following error occurred: Posted must be equal to 'No' in Incoming Document: Entry No.=<Entry No.>. Current value is 'Yes'. This has now been fixed, and you can post the journal lines with the incoming document attached to the posted entries.85876

Continia Banking 2026 R2, hotfix 1

Release date, online: October 14, 2026
Release date, on-premises: pending
Continia Banking version: 29.0.1

Bug fixes

Functional AreaDescriptionID
CSV ImportWhen importing a CSV file with Import Target set to Account Statement, Fee Alternative Descriptions were not applied. This issue has been fixed.84472
CSV ImportSpecial characters in imported CSV Port configurations could be displayed incorrectly because of an encoding issue. Imported files are now read using the correct character encoding.84481
General ApplicationWhen an authentication was shared to another company or bank, target company bank accounts remained Not Ready until Bank Account Setup was run again. Accounts now correctly become Ready, and the sharing process has been improved for account mapping and reporting.82318
Payment ExportWhen remittance lines added after payment creation exceeded bank limits, the default remittance advice text was used instead of the configured template. The remittance advice template from Banking Export Setup is now used.83928
Payment ExportWhen Summarize per Account and Find Payment Discounts were enabled, entries with payment discount dates on bank closing days were not summarized together. These entries are now combined into a single payment.84038
Payment ExportRegulatory reporting codes from purchase and sales orders were not retained after posting, causing payment validation failures in some cases. The codes are now preserved on posted entries.84351
Payment ExportSuggested vendor payments were not reduced by open payment allocations marked On Hold. Payments are now reduced by all open allocations regardless of their hold status.84456
Payment ExportIn advanced payment suggestions not summarized per account, opposing entries such as credit memos could be marked as paid together with payment entries. Opposing entries can no longer be marked as paid in these scenarios.84470
Payment ExportValidation in advanced payment journal setup could incorrectly report that Bank Code was missing. Payment entries now correctly use the bank account's bank code.84742
Payment ExportUsing Apply Entries or changing Applies-to Doc. No. could still recalculate amounts on payment journal lines already sent to the bank or under approval. Amounts on these lines can no longer be changed through application updates.84847
Payment ExportRemoveApprovalRestriction relied on user permissions and exact text matching to identify workflows. It now uses Business Central workflow lookup to identify and remove matching Continia approval restrictions.84952
PSPPerformance issues when generating external payment references caused most reported banking errors. Processing of external payment reference records has been optimized for significantly better performance.84486
PSPChanging the PSP Code on a PSP Agreement did not update related search rules and reconciliation settings. These settings are now updated automatically when the PSP Code changes.84501
