2.24.0 - 2025-05-20 - Open Banking, Working with Accountants and New Features
Open Banking:
As part of preparation for implementing the new Settlements module, we introduced Open Banking integration supported by EasyCheck, our partner licensed by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority.
This integration will enable automatic retrieval of transaction data from banks, allowing for easy transaction reconciliation and simplified access to transaction reports in MT940 format.
Changes in the Messages module:
We introduced new filter views that will make it easier to search and manage conversations.
Create your “quick filters”:
Now after filtering data in the most important tables in the system, you’ll have the ability to save current filter settings as your own configuration.
Simply click the “Save filter view” button and give it a name.
With this change, you can quickly switch between different views and customize the application to your needs.
Improvements in the Expenses module:
We introduced additional OCR document verification steps to improve processing quality.
We expanded the scope of information regarding processing issues. Error messages now include more data, and in the next release, we’ll indicate specific fields that require attention.
As part of our work on data mapping, we introduced a fallback model for mapping items to VAT rates only, which activates automatically when the system detects discrepancies between items and totals on the invoice.
We added automatically saved information about whether a file has been exported from the system.
To facilitate data searching in the system, we added a new column indicating the number of pages in the document.
The “bug” button is now visible at all times, even on overlay layers, allowing you to report issues quickly and pinpoint the exact location of the problem.
For convenience, you can also use the F8 keyboard shortcut.
We’ve added the ability to draw on the provided screenshot, enabling you to better illustrate your needs.
Customer feedback is very important to us, and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to share your thoughts.
FAQ Migration to a New Documentation Page:
In the coming months, we will introduce a series of new articles and guides, available on our new Customer Support page.
The knowledge base will be actively expanded, and new search functionalities will help you quickly find the information you need.
New Permissions and Restrictions in the Sales Module:
Employees’ access can now be restricted to only sales invoices they issued themselves.
This change provides you with simple control over system data.
The functionality works similarly to the Expenses module—just start creating a new invoice, and it will be assigned to you as the creator.
Changes in Adding Files to the System:
We introduced additional verification for uploaded files’ security. You’ve informed us that password-protected or edit-restricted files are becoming more common—we’ve enhanced the system to handle such cases better.
If the system cannot automatically process a file, you’ll receive clear information in the interface about the necessary additional steps.
The workflow for multi-page files has been simplified - you now have access to more quick actions, that cover the majority of file processing cases.
Changes in Cost Category Settings and Electronic Document Workflow:
We separated the processes for managing cost categories and Workflow assignments to simplify the process for users leveraging the app’s full potential.
To better support various accounting programs, we introduced easy account mapping for each category. You can use your own accounting accounts or rely on Altera’s default global account settings for enova365.
We prepared new data export designs for several accounting systems:
Symfonia FiK,
Optima ERP,
enova365.
We updated many features in the system to provide you with an even better user experience. Our core framework, Flutter has been updated to the latest stable release, which provides more stability and performance improvements.
Introduced significant changes in the Sales module:
New document details preview view - sliding side panel
Document creation and editing in a sliding layer with a dynamic invoice template preview - every change made to the data is immediately visible in the preview
Ability to navigate between documents on the list directly from the details window
We created a new set of Tutorials in the application that will help you learn the basic functions of individual modules.
Added new features to improve expense document management in the system:
Ability to generate a private email address for submitting expense documents to the system. Details can be found in the Integrations tab in settings.
Action to re-split an expense file into multiple documents
Action to merge multiple documents in the system into one
Action to move a document to the context of another company to which the user has access
