New or changed functionality

Functional areaDescriptionID
Documents and TemplatesContinia eDocuments was introduced – Continia's new system for the exchange and management of electronic business documents (XML documents), powered by the Continia Delivery Network.

Continia eDocuments makes it easy to transfer virtually any type of business document from the procure-to-pay process through networks like the PEPPOL Network within Business Central. By converting Business Central documents to and from XML files that can be sent and received via such networks, it allows you to work with XML documents exactly as with other documents in Business Central.

With Continia eDocuments, you can identify and fix errors in your documents before they're sent, and vendors can notify you directly about any changes using order responses. Whether you're a customer or a vendor, you can monitor the status of each document throughout the process using the eDocument Status field.

For more information, see Continia eDocuments.

Note

This note was added later, on April 25, 2024, as it was unintentionally left out of the changelog when Document Capture 2023 R2 Service Pack 2 (DC12.02) was released.

Documents and TemplatesTo simplify configuration, a Customizable Columns section for the custom searchable and sortable template header fields in the Document Journal's document list has been added to the Document Category card.
49668
General ApplicationWith the introduction of Enforced Digital Vouchers in BC23.2, attaching documentation as incoming documents, prior to posting purchase document and journals, will in certain localizations become mandatory.

When using Document Capture in an environment where Enforced Digital Vouchers is configured to check for attached files prior to posting, Document Capture will automatically create a digital voucher when a document in registered as a purchase document or a journal entry. The primary document (OCR processed) and any drag and drop attachments, will automatically be added to a digital voucher associated with the purchase document or journal entry.

When using purchase allocations (part of the approval functionality available with Document Capture) the system can be configured to include the digital voucher, associated with the purchase document pending approval, in the G/L posting. Associating digital vouchers to purchase allocations is optional, regardless of localization and BC version.

How to enable the feature:
  • All versions prior to BC23.2: The feature can be enabled in Document Capture Setup,
  • BC23.2 and newer: The feature will be automatically enabled if Digital Voucher Setup and Digital Voucher Entry Setup is configured to check for attachments prior to posting.
  • Specifically for Denmark: When using BC23.2 or newer, and the environment is a production environment in Cloud, the digital voucher functionality is forcedly enabled from July 1st 2024. Consequentially Document Capture will automatically create digital vouchers from that date and onwards.

Document Capture 2023 R2 Service Pack 1, hotfix 3

Released: February 2, 2024
App version: 12.1.3

Only released in Business Central online.

Bug fixes

Functional areaDescriptionID
Documents and TemplatesWith the release of Continia Document Capture 2023 R2 (DC12.00), a change was introduced, causing the document recognition to ignore the Required field option unless the Search for Value option was set to True in the Template Field Card. This meant that a document could be registered with blank values in required fields without generating an error comment.

Now, the capture functionality has been updated as follows:

Header field recognition:
  • Setting a field as required triggers an error comment if the value is missing. 
  • Turning on/off the Search for Value field setting does not affect the comment shown (which is good). 
Line field recognition:
  • Combining AI and setting a line field as required results in recognizing all lines. An error comment is displayed in the comment section for each line missing a required value. Turning on/off the Search for Value field setting does not affect the comment shown or the recognition as AI decides what to recognize (which is good). 
  • Manual line recognition behaves just like in the "old" days. No lines are recognized if the required values are missing.

Document Capture 2023 R2 Service Pack 1, hotfix 2

Released: January 19, 2024
App version: 12.1.2

Only released in Business Central online.

Bug fixes

Functional areaDescriptionID
Documents and TemplatesWhen running Recognize Fields in the Document Journal, the formula keywords TODAY and WORKDATE specified in the Template Field Card were not converted as expected when running the Business Central client in different languages.

Please note that some localized abbreviations have the opposite meaning in different languages. For example, T evaluates to TODAY in English, but in French and Spanish, it evaluates to WORKDATE.
To ensure the correct result, it may be necessary (depending on the language used in the client) to type the entire keyword - e.g., when running the client in Spanish, T might not be enough to ensure that it is interpreted as WORKDATE - but entering TRABAJO will ensure that.

To avoid possible mistakes or unexpected results, it is recommended to update existing template field formulas by clearing the value and entering it again.
50407
Documents and TemplatesWhen importing documents the following error could occur:
  • The length of the string is <Document No. length>, but it must be less than or equal to 20 characters. Value: <Document No.>
52574
Document ApprovalSince Document Capture version 12.1, exporting users with the same email address in the Email and O365 Authentication Email fields on the Continia Users page has not been possible. The functionality has now been reverted, allowing identical emails in both fields for the same user.52507
Purchase ContractsPreviously, when registering a document based on the purchase contract, which had a different VAT Bus. Posting Group header value than the vendor or the purchase contract line had a modified VAT Prod. Posting Group, the original vendor, and account VAT posting group values were assigned to the purchase invoice header and lines. Now, the VAT values are taken from the related purchase contract header and line fields and assigned respectively to the invoice header and lines.51428

Platform and TechnologyThe Continia Web Approval Portal has been updated to version 1.29.051759
Purchase ContractsWhen registering a document (invoice) based on a purchase contract, it is possible to define if a comment purchase line with a posting description should be created. To manage this, the following three new fields have been added to the Purchase Contract Card page:
  • Create Posting Description Line: A boolean field that specifies whether a second comment purchase line will be created. The extra comment line is placed under the general comment line that contains the contract number.
  • Posting Description: An option field that specifies whether the purchase line description will be populated from the recognized document's posting description. The available options are:
    • No (default value): A purchase line with the invoice posting description will not be created.
    • Yes - If Present: A purchase line will be created with the posting description from the invoice if the description field contains a value. If the posting description value is blank, the Purchase Contract Description field's logic is considered.
    • Yes: A purchase line will be created with the posting description from the invoice if the description field contains a value.
  • Purchase Contract Description: A boolean field that specifies whether the purchase line description will be populated from the purchase contract description:
    • False: A purchase line with the purchase contract description will not be created.
    • True: A purchase line will be created with the purchase contract description if Posting Description is set to No or Yes - If Present and the invoice posting description contains no value.

Purchase DocumentsPreviously, the Incoming Document Files factbox was hidden if Document Capture was configured in the current company. As the incoming documents functionality is a key part of Microsoft's new Digital Vouchers feature, the factbox will not be hidden but instead showing it below the Document Viewer factbox.51602

Bug fixes

Functional areaDescriptionID
Documents and TemplatesDuring vendor identification and auto-matching, captured document values may be used as table filters. The below error could occur if a captured value, used as a table filter, started with a percentage sign (%).
  • The filter "<value starting with %>" is not valid for the <tablefield> field on the table. The variable "<value starting with %>" was not understood.
To prevent this problem, any leading percentage signs (%) are now removed from values used as filters. Several characters that hold a special meaning in filtering contexts, e.g., * | &, are already disregarded.
43210
Documents and TemplatesWhen updating the field Ask to Set Default Account No. on the Master template, the sub-templates were not updated with new value. Now, updating the Ask to Set Default Account No. on the Master template updates all the sub-templates.43647

Documents and TemplatesWhen placing the cursor on a template header field of the type boolean on the Document Header table, the cursor could get stuck when navigating up and down the list using the arrows. 51107
Documents and TemplatesWhen identifying the vendor on a document using identification templates, the Document Capture will disregard a captured identification value if it equals the VAT Registration No. in the  Company Information. That functionality has now been extended to cater for values found in the following additional fields in the Company Information, but not for all localizations:
  • Enterprise No. (BE)
  • Registration No. (DE, AT, and CH)
  • ABN (AU and NZ)
51192

Document ApprovalWhen the shared-to approval user rejected a purchase document, the Owner User ID was shown in the Approval Entries instead of the Shared User ID.43096
Document ApprovalWhen using Approval Flow codes with a selection method other than All, the picked approvers would be wrong if the purchase order was partially invoiced. This was due to the remaining amount to be invoiced being used as the approval amount when sending the document for approval. That has been changed to always use the total order amount (LCY).50325
Document ApprovalIn some instances, the Amount Excl. VAT (Assigned) and Amount Incl. VAT (Assigned) were not calculated in the Purchase Order. This resulted in issues with the approval flow, where the purchase order was sent to the incorrect approver.51411

General ApplicationTo avoid having an invalid storage type for Document Capture during cloud migration, we now show this confirm dialogue to warn the user about potential issues:
'There are cloud migration issues with Document Capture, because one or more companies use a document storage type that is unsupported in Business Central Online. To resolve this problem, you need to change the document storage type in your on-premises environment (to either database or Azure Blob Storage) and then rerun the data replication.';

Companies with unsupported storage type: <company name>
Do you still want to continue?"
If the user selects Yes, the cloud migration will continue, as blocking the completion of the migration is not desired.

General ApplicationHaving the Secure Archive enabled in a company, the deletion of individual pages within a document was not logged in the document log.
A Document Log Entry is now created when a document page is deleted. Furthermore, several document page operations (reorder pages, rotate pages, split, and merge) would cause the system to recalculate the hash value associated with the document.

Documents and TemplatesA new field, Prioritize Prepayment as Document Type, has been introduced on the Template Card. This field plays a significant role in determining the document type based on the captions found in the PDF.

By default, the document type is identified by the highest-placed caption found in the PDF. Enabling Prioritize Prepayment as Document Type option precedes any prepayment captions found in the PDF, classifying the document as a prepayment invoice, irrespective of other higher-placed captions that otherwise would identify it as an invoice.
45701
Documents and TemplatesBy enabling the option Check Item Prices on the template, the item's recognized unit cost is validated against the price specified on the item card.

Depending on the costing method specified for the item, the price comparison is conducted in the following manners:
  • For items configured with the costing method set to Standard, the value in the field Standard Cost is used.
  • For items configured with the costing method set to FIFOLIFOAverage, or Specific, the value in the field Unit Cost is used.
  • For items having a zero value in Standard Cost or Unit Cost, the value in the field Last Direct Cost is used.
If any special prices or discounts are configured for the item, the price check is conducted against the relevant special price or special discount.

Should the unit cost of the recognized item differs from the special price or unit cost calculated from the item card, a warning is displayed in the comment section. If the Line Discount % template line field contains a valid value or a special discount is configured for the item, the discount percentage is included in the unit cost comparison.

Documents and TemplatesWhen documents are automatically or manually moved to another company with Document Capture activated, the receiving company automatically completes the vendor identification, template selection, and field recognition steps. This streamlines the workflow, reducing manual steps and ensuring a consistent process.
46883
Documents and TemplatesTo prevent the accumulation of unprocessed documents in the Document Journala new notification feature has been introduced in Continia Document Capture 2023 R2.  Designated administrators, such as an Accounts Payable manager, will receive email alerts regarding unregistered documents, encouraging timely registration and streamlined operations. This proactive approach ensures that the right individuals are alerted at the right time, facilitating a smoother workflow and preventing potential delays.

The new functionality allows for proactive management through the following:
  • Assign a category manager (Continia user) to the document category to receive timely reminders, ensuring that the relevant coworker is notified to facilitate swift action.
  • Configure multiple notification levels that are activated based on the document's duration in the document journal, allowing for a graded response to pending items.
  • Trigger the sending of the notification manually or set up a job queue to autonomously send the reminders to the designated managers.
By alerting designated administrators at earlier stages, this enhancement encourages prompt document registration and a smoother workflow, helping prevent potential delays and backlogs.

Documents and TemplatesIn the Document Category page, the tooltips for the following fields have been improved:

Image Resolution Tooltip
Specifies the DPI resolution for the document image files created from the OCR processing. The image files are copies of the original PDFs received and are used to browse individual PDF pages easily. A higher resolution yields clearer details but increases the file size, potentially affecting loading times. A recommended resolution is 300 DPI (default), which ensures good resolutions and acceptable file sizes. The archived PDF maintains its original colors and resolution and can be accessed whenever needed.

Image Color Mode Tooltip
Specifies the color mode for the document image files created from the OCR processing. The image files are copies of the original PDFs received and are used to browse individual PDF pages easily. For a swifter display, choose a simpler color mode.
Black & White (default): Minimal file size, fastest load.
Grey: Moderate file size, balanced load time, and detail.
Color: Largest file size, slower load, maximum detail.
Lowering the color level in the image file to make them appear faster is recommended. The archived PDF maintains its original colors and resolution and can be accessed whenever needed.

General Application This feature applies to Business Central on-premises only.

A new notification feature has been introduced for users of Document Capture in an on-premises environment. This feature is designed to alert you when the number of pages in your on-premises OCR license approaches its limit, allowing you to take timely action and avoid potential disruptions.

For On-Premises OCR:
  • In the Document Capture Setup, users can view the current OCR license status and configure the notification.
  • Set a warning threshold to be notified when only a specified number of pages remain in the license.
  • The notification is activated when selecting the Import Files action from the role center or accessing the Ready to Import, Document Journal, and Document Capture Setup pages.
For Continia Cloud OCR:
  • When using Continia Cloud OCR, users don't receive a warning as there is no page processing limit.

General ApplicationWith the release of Business Central 2023 R1, Microsoft introduced standard functionality to synchronize master data between companies. Certain master data tables in Document Capture are not suited for synchronization between companies since they hold company-specific relations to standard data entities (e.g., Vendors, Customers, Dimension Values, etc.) or posted data.

Setting up master data synchronization of the following tables will invoke an error message:
  • Table 6085575 "CDC Document Category"
  • Table 6085579 "CDC Template"
  • Table 6085580 "CDC Template Field"
  • Table 6085752 "CDC Posted Dtld. Appvl. Entry"
  • Table 6085753 "CDC Posted Dtld App Entry Dim"
  • Table 6085730 "CDC Purch. Allocation Header"
  • Table 6085731 "CDC Purch. Allocation Line"
  • Table 6085732 "CDC Purch. Alloc. Entry"
It is possible to override the error message through an event subscription.
47221
General ApplicationThe page/attachment navigation field above the Document Viewer has been enhanced: A new input field allows users to directly select the desired document page in Document Capture or the attachment number in Expense Management. The text/numbering in the navigation field is now formatted as:
  • [Current Page No.] of [The Total No. of Pages/Attachments].
47442
General ApplicationSecure Archive in Document Capture and Expense Management assures that digital documents foundational to a company's bookkeeping are preserved in their original form, safe from alterations and deletion, and are traceable throughout the secure retention period defined by the company, in line with the respective country's legislation. This feature includes a built-in log functionality that systematically records each stage a document undergoes, from reception to its conclusive posting in the bookkeeping.

If you only want the logging functionality but not the restrictions that come with the Secure Archive, you can activate it independently, thereby providing the flexibility to track document processing without additional secure archive restrictions.
48491
General ApplicationIt is now possible to enable document logging in Document Capture Setup. Enabling this feature will record the following document-related changes: 
  • Received: Logs the from email address and file name of the incoming email. The log entry is created when
    • Importing a document.
    • Deleting before import.
  • Imported: 
    • Adds a log entry when a new document is created during the import process.
    • Adds a log entry when a new document is created using drag and drop.
  • Deleted before import: Adds a log entry if a document is deleted from the Ready to import page.
  • Deleted: Adds a log entry when a document is deleted.
  • Split: Adds a log entry when a document is split into one or more documents.
  • Merge: Adds a log entry when one or more documents are merged into one. 
  • Registered: Adds a log entry when a document is registered. It specifies what standard document (invoice/credit memo/journal line) the Document Capture document is registered as.
  • Posted: When a standard document, created from a Document Capture document, is posted, a log entry is added. The log entry details the Document No. of the posted document. 
48612
General ApplicationFiles imported using Document Capture, i.e. imported through categories or added using drag'n'drop, will have a hash (SHA1) associated with them. When running Secure Archive, this information will help determine if the files related to a given historic posting are identical (unchanged) to the time of posting.
The hash value is calculated whenever one of the following events occurs:
  • Importing documents into categories (goes for PDF-based as well as XML-based documents).
  • Adding documents using drag'n'drop.
  • Modifying documents using Split and Merge.
If documents are sourced into Document Capture via emails, a copy of the original email is stored (regardless of the Import and Archive E-Mails setting on the document category), and the email file will have a hash value calculated.

Bug fixes

Functional areaDescriptionId
Documents and TemplatesAfter merging and resplitting documents, the link to the original email was sometime lost, causing the document to be linked to an incorrect email.
30275
Documents and TemplatesTo prevent an overflow error that sometimes occured when recognizing OIOUBL documents configured with the payment method Nemkonto, the following is updated in the config file.

For the XML master template OIOUBL the XML Path for the field KORTARTSKODE has been changed:

From
  • /PaymentMeans/PaymentID[@schemeAgencyID='320' and @schemeID='urn:oioubl:id:paymentid-1.1']
To
  • /PaymentMeans[PaymentMeansCode='93' or PaymentMeansCode='50']/PaymentID[@schemeAgencyID='320' and @schemeID='urn:oioubl:id:paymentid-1.1']
42889
Documents and TemplatesA new table, Business Identification Fields, has been introduced. The table is automatically populated with a refined representation of the following fields from the vendor table:
  • VAT Registration No. (field 86)
  • ABN (field 11620 in the AU and NZ localization).
  • Enterprise No. (field 11310 in the BE localization).
  • Registration No. (field 11000 in DE, AT, and CH localization).
The field value of the three fields below will be processed as follows:
  • VAT Registration No.: Only capital letters and numeric digits are stored.
  • ABN, Enterprise No., and Registration No.: Only numeric digits are stored.
The reason for storing a refined version of the field values in a separate table is to increase the probability of matching a vendor using the identification template rather than using identification fields, which run significantly slower.
