Bug fixes
Functional area | Description | ID |
---|---|---|
Country and Regional | This change only applies to the BE localization: In the list of template field Document Type, all captions that previously started with "O:" have been changed to start with "V:". | 54471 |
Country and Regional | In some localizations, an incorrect Account Type was potentially selected when using the Recognize Fields action. | 56942 |
Document and Templates | When using File Service as a Document Storage Type in the Document Capture Setup, the Document Categories were made inaccessible if an imported filename exceeded 100 characters. The following error message was returned:
| 50565 |
Document and Templates | When doing line recognition, template suggestions were in some cases unintentionally shown – even if they where previously applied. Accepting the suggestion again produced the error message Record in the table Template Suggestion already exists. | 55042 |
Document and Templates | During document import, a new template was wrongly created for the document when there was already a template available in another company for the same vendor. Now, a new template won't be created – and the template number won't be populated in the document journal. Instead, you must run Recognize Fields manually in the document journal. This triggers the following dialog:
| 55407 |
Document and Templates | When the Secure Archive feature was enabled and either Auto Split or Merge From Same E-mail were used, these actions were incorrectly regarded as file changes – resulting in the following error when posting an invoice:
| 55986 |
Document and Templates | When filtering document lines in the Document Card, the highlighted field in the document viewer didn't correspond with the actual line selected in the Document Lines subpage. To address this, the Line No. column is shown on the lines subpage, if not already present, when filtering. The column is removed automatically when the filter is released. | 56132 |
Document and Templates | When registering a document in the Contact category using the Register & Show option, the following error message was displayed:
| 56559 |
Document and Templates | When using document search in environments with XML documents, users could experience a degraded performance caused by unnecessary external calls to Continia Online. These external calls have been removed, resulting in a better search performance. | 56889 |
Document and Templates | The Sales category Force Register action used to require a value in Account for Amount Excl. VAT. This has been changed, so the Sales category Force Register action works in the same way as the Purchase category Force Register action. | 57512 |
Document and Templates | Attachments weren't displayed when using Find Entries, nor were they displayed in the Documents FactBox and Document Viewer in the General Journal and General Ledger Entries pages. | 58058 |
Document and Templates | The Document Viewer and Documents FactBox wasn't shown in the General Ledger Entries. | 58385 |
eDocuments | The currency CHF has been added as a Translate From value in the template field translation for all localizations. | 56774 |
General Application | These two issues related to attached files have been corrected:
| 53168 |
General Application | When using the Line Capture Version 2.0 codeunit to recognize line values, the auto calculation of missing line values isn't done for zero-values if a zero-value is captured in the document. | 55041 |
General Application | When capturing an MEM entity value longer than 20 characters, the following overflow error message was returned:
| 56954 |
General Application | When switching document storage type from File System to File Service, the following error was returned:
| 57182 |
General Application | This change only applies to the AT, CH, and DE localizations' master template BESTELLUNG-DE,CH,AT:
| 57528 |
Order & Receipt Matching | This change only applies to the DK localization: When registering a purchase document with the Payment ID (FIK-kode), using the Invoice Reg. Step 1 setting as Match and Update Order in the Template Card, the Payment Method Code, Payment Reference, and Creditor No. weren't populated in the matched purchase order. | 47894 |
Platform and Technology | The field Web Site URL on the Continia Web Portal Card is now hidden, as it shouldn't be used. | 51051 |
Platform and Technology | If the Show Embedded PDF as Default field is marked but there is no PDF, the HTML is displayed – instead of no visualization at all. | 57113 |
Purchase Documents | When registering a purchase document as a prepayment, it was possible to select a fully invoiced purchase order. Now, when selecting purchase orders, the fully invoiced purchase orders are hidden. Attempting to specify fully invoiced purchase order manually results in an error comment, and the registration of the document is prevented. | 45585 |
Purchase Documents | On a purchase order line, you can now only change its line's Type if the purchase order status is Open or Pending Approval and you're allowed to edit pending documents. Previously, any user could change the line type to comment (which ultimately deletes the line) – even after a document had been released. This left room for mistakes. | 53734 |
Purchase Documents | The action Change Imported Amounts has been moved to the action group Credit Memo on the the Purchase Credit Memo page. | 54044 |
Purchase Documents | Previously, the Vendor Create function in the document journal would sometimes return the overflow error The length of the string is XX, but it must be less than or equal to YY characters when the field value was longer than YY. | 54450 |
Purchase Documents | The Create Digital Vouchers for Document Capture Documents has been added to allow existing customers who chose to enable the Enhanced Digital Vouchers feature to post invoices created before the enabling. This report identifies purchase invoices that lack an entry in the Incoming Document table. It tries to find a corresponding Document Capture document and copy this to the Incoming Document table. | 57521 |
Platform and Technology | Fixed an issue where the document import could fail, resulting in the following error message:
| 57844 |
Purchase Documents | In some cases when no lines were recognized, the line field values in the created purchase invoice could have been overwritten with false data if the template line field had a value in Field in Purchase Line under the Transfer Value to... group on the General FastTab. | 53707 |

Purchase Documents | In Document Capture 24.00 Service Pack 1, hotfix 2 (task ID 56612), changes were implemented to ensure that documents attached to a purchase or sales order are also visible on the corresponding posted invoice. These changes unwantedly caused documents added to a posted invoice via drag and drop to be attached to the originating order instead. To address this, the code introduced in the original bug fix (ID 56612) has been removed. A better solution to this issue is being actively sought, but there's currently no estimated release date for the fix. | 57907 |

Documents and Templates | When the Secure Archive feature was enabled and either of the following features were used:
| 55986 |
Purchase Documents | When creating Purchase Order with attachments from the Purchase Order category, the attachments were later not available in the Posted Purchase Invoice. | 56612 |
Purchase Documents | Relevant only to Danish cloud-based production tenants: With the mandatory enforcement of digital vouchers starting on July 1, 2024, Document Capture automatically generates digital vouchers based on Document Capture files. Before this date, many customers could have registered documents and created purchase documents without any automatically generated digital vouchers. The posting of these documents is therefore blocked. When this hotfix is installed, Document Capture searches for all purchase documents in the Purchase Header table and check if they originate from Document Capture. If so, a digital voucher is created. | 57438 |

This behavior has been changed to use the default sales prices as specified in Business Central. | 56645 |
Document Approval | After migrating from Business Central on-premises to Business Central online, the Delegate to me link in the email could sometimes wrongly point to the old on-premises server, preventing users from being able to open the link. | 56646 |
General Application | When completing the cloud migration, users got the following error:

Document Approval | When migrating from Business Central on-premises to Business Central online and utilizing the Web Approval Portal, an invalid configuration could be migrated. This could block the export of users to Continia Online. Now, the web portal configuration is sanitized to make sure that users can be exported to Continia Online. | 54937 |
Document Approval | The following change only applies to Business Central online. When exporting users, the current Web Approval Portal setup is validated to ensure that it is supported in Business Central online. If the setup if not supported, the following error is shown:
| 54943 |

General Application | By enabling the Check Item Prices option on the template in the Sales category, the item's recognized unit cost is validated against the price specified on the item card. 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 price 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. | 47648 |

Purchase Documents | Previously, it was possible from a general journal or purchase journal to delete attachments associated to a posted ledger entry having the same document number as the unposted journal entry. Now, it is only possible in the journals to view the attachments that are related to the posted entries. In addition to the above change, the attachments added to an unposted general or purchase journal with the same document number as the posted entry are viewable from the general ledger entries but can't be deleted. | 54349 |

Documents and Templates | The field Line Recognition Method was wrongly shown in the Template Card for XML templates. | 53554 |

| 54306 |
eDocuments | When eDocument automation is configured (in the Continia eDocument Setup page, under the eBilling Response group, in the Send In Process field) and an OIOUBL invoice was received, the automation triggered the creation of an invoice eBilling response. Since the OIOUBL invoice response does not support a response code for a document being in process, the response code value was not assigned to the eDocument. This would generate the following error message when attempting to open the purchase invoice related to the invoice response:
| 54307 |

The system now refrains from creating response lines if the eDocument format does not support them.

eDocuments | Added improved support for sending eDocuments with multiple VAT rates. | 54781 |
eDocuments | Sales invoice line comments were not included in the PEPPOL BIS3 Invoice XML node /Invoice/cac:InvoiceLine/cbc:Note. When a sales invoice header contained multiple notes, these notes were generated in the PEPPOL BIS 3 Invoice XML node /Invoice/cbc:Note. However, this format only permits one note. To comply with the standard, all comments are now merged into a single note, with each comment separated by a line break. | 54921 |

eDocuments | The fields Translate to Type an Translate to No. on the Discounts and Charges page, available from the eDocument card, have been hidden as they cannot be used. | 55125 |

| 56103 |
eDocuments | When sending multiple electronic billing responses through Continia Delivery Network from a purchase order (by selecting Send Electronic Confirmation and then Send in the eBilling Response page), the eDocument Status from the second response onward was unintentionally set to Failed. | 56133 |
eDocuments | Previously, when sending an electronic document from a purchase order or a posted sales invoice (by selecting Send..., choosing Through Continia Delivery Network in the Electronic Document field, and then selecting OK), the eDocument Status would change to Failed. This issue has been resolved, and the status and document are now handled correctly. When opening the page Outgoing Network Documents, the following error appeared:
| 56143 |
eDocuments | Previously, the field eDocument Status on outgoing documents was not updated, if a user with insufficient permissions opened the Outgoing Network Documents page. Now, the needed indirect permissions have been updated. When updating FOB-based versions, you must run specific codeunits to add the permissions. For details, please see the following article. https://docs.continia.com/en-us/continia-document-capture/development-and-administration/document-capture-permissions#updating-permissions-when-implementing-service-packs | 56154 |

| 55664 |
Order & Receipt Matching | Previously the option fields Match on Vendor Order No. and Match on Vendor Shipment No. were only visible on the template card if the corresponding template header or line fields were added to the template. This behaviour has been extended to add and show the fields on the template when creating it, if the fields on the master template are configured with the matching option Yes - Always. | 49102 |
Order & Receipt Matching | When matching a purchase invoice having Prices Including VAT set to Yes against a purchase order having Prices Including VAT set to No, the Direct Unit Cost on the purchase order lines was copied to the invoice lines and was not recalculated (taking into account the VAT amount to be applied). | 53229 |
Order & Receipt Matching | When recognizing a delivery note for updating the purchase order Quantity to Receive and all document lines were completely matched, a warning was wrongly shown:
| 55128 |
Purchase Contracts | Previously, when registering a document linked to purchase contract and a value was specified in the Deferral Code field under the Accounts for Amounts page, the selected deferral code value was ignored. Now, the deferral code value is assigned to the created invoice/credit memo lines. | 53937 |
Purchase Contracts | Captions of the Job No. and Job Task No. fields on the purchase contract lines and purchase contract lines archive have been adjusted to reflect the standard field caption changes since Business Central 2024 R1.

| 51338 |
Purchase Documents | When creating general or purchase journal lines from the Document Journal and the Document No. in the journal was changed, the related document (attachment) was not updated with the new Document No. This resulted in either a lost link between the journal lines and the document, or the journal lines was linked to a wrong document. | 54266 |
Purchase Documents | The warning and error messages in the Comments section in the Document Journal, when auto-matching delivery notes in the Purchase Order category, have been improved. If the quantity in the document line is greater than the quantity in the matched purchase order line, matching will be removed automatically and the following configurable comment will be shown:
| 54350 |
Purchase Documents | In some cases, when trying to add attachments on the General Ledger Entries page using drag & drop, the following error message was shown:
| 54380 |
Purchase Documents | When selecting the Document Card action in the Purchase Orders page for a manually created purchase order, the eDocuments order response page was in some situations opened. This behaviour was incorrect as the order response wasn't the source of the purchase order. Now, when using the action Document Card in this scenario, an error message is shown:
| 54543 |
Purchase Documents | When creating general/purchase journal lines from the document journal and posting them to the general ledger, it was possible to re-open the document by manually creating a general/purchase journal line with the same document number. When creating general/purchase journal lines from the Document Journal and posting them to the general ledger, the Find Entries action would open a general/purchase journal instead of the General Ledger Entries page. | 54957 |
Purchase Documents | When creating general or purchase journal lines from the Document Journal and changing the Document No. using the Renumber Document Numbers action in the General or Purchase Journal pages, the related document was not updated with the new document number. This resulted in either losing the link between the journal lines and the document, or the journal lines being linked to the wrong document. Now, the Renumber Document Numbers function will be blocked if there is at least one journal line linked to a document, and the following message will be shown:

For more information, see Enhanced Line Recognition. | 50506 |
Documents and Templates | The following change only applies to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 release wave 1 (BC v24) and newer versions. With the release of Business Central 2024 R1, the captions of the standard fields Job No. and Job Task No. have been changed to Project No. and Project Task No. Therefore, the Document Capture template header field Job No. has been renamed to Project No. When you upgrade to Document Capture 2024 R1 on Business Central 2024 R1, the template field is automatically renamed. | 53978 |
Document Approval | When rejecting a document shared with you by another colleague, the approval comment now includes the phrase "on behalf of" to clarify the context of the rejection. The comment will appear as follows:
| 24436 |
Document Approval | In previous versions, the use of approval sharing could result in the scenario where a given approver would need to approve a document multiple time - one for each user who shared their approval requests and possibly the approvers own approval request. The approval system now looks ahead to the next approval request in the approval sequence. If that approval request can be approved by the current approver the system will automatically approve that request as well.
| 43910 |
Document Approval | When configuring the XML template to Show Embedded PDF files as Default (instead of the styled XML view), embedded PDF files were shown only in Business Central. Now. Now, the embedded PDF files are also viewable in the Web Approval Portal. | 50908 |
General Application | Teaching tips have been added to the Suggest Header Field Captions page. | 40909 |
General Application | The following change only applies to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 release wave 1 (BC v22) and newer versions. Support for the data processing app QR-Bill Management for Switzerland has been added to the OCR process. The solution identifies valid QR code(s) and includes the following features:
| 41261 |
General Application | The right and left arrow keys can be used to move the cursor between the Field and Value columns in the Document Header section on the Document Journal and Document Card pages. | 42484 |
General Application | A new Retention Period (Years) field has been added to the Document Capture Setup page, to be used with the newly introduced Run Data Maintenance action on the Document Capture Setup page. This action deletes all OCR values in the Document Word, Document Value, and three AI data tables for documents older than the retention period (closed fiscal years) specified in the Document Capture setup. Warning: Deleting historical OCR words and values will compromise the completeness of the Document Search function for documents exceeding the retention period. However, this will significantly enhance search speed for more recent documents. Furthermore, field recognition on documents may become faster, particularly for databases with extensive historical data. For further details, refer to the Continia Docs article. | 45845 |
General Application | The following change only applies to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 release wave 1 (BC v24) and newer versions. Multi-Entry Management from Binary Stream is now supported in Document Capture. When registering a document in the Document Journal with an Entity Dimension defined in the MEM Multi-Entity Management Setup page and configured as a template field, the field's value will be automatically populated in the purchase or sales documents. This eliminates the need for users to specify the entity dimension in a MEM dialog, simplifying the document registration process. Due to the limitations in the Binary Stream Multi-Entry Management, registering documents in the Sales category does not invoke a MEM functionality when the entity dimension value is missing. To prevent registering documents in the Sales category without an entity value defined, the following non-configurable error comment is shown:
| 46332 |
General Application | A new GDPR Retention Period (Years) field has been added to the Document Capture Setup page, to be used with the newly introduced Run GDPR Maintenance action on the Document Capture Setup page. This action deletes all data stored in Document Capture related to registered and posted documents older than the GDPR retention period (fiscal years) specified in the Document Capture setup. Additionally, the maintenance process considers the Allow Document Deletion From date on the Purchases & Payables Setup page and the Minimum Archive Period configured in the Secure Archive, if enabled. For further details, refer to the Continia Docs article. | 48611 |
General Application | The column User ID has been removed from the Document Log Entries and System Log Entries pages. The change has been made to comply with GDPR legislation in certain countries, such as Germany. To adhere to bookkeeping legislation in other countries, like Denmark, the value remains accessible via Page Inspection (zoom). A user with sufficient permissions is still able to inspect the user ID by using the Page Inspection (zoom). | 49661 |
General Application | This version introduces the Document Control Log which makes it easier to do a proactive follow-up on documents having one or more failed Secure Archive checks. The list is populated from a batch job that can be either executed or scheduled in the current user session. The Document Control Log offers easy access to a number of related information through direct access to Find Entries and the Document Log Summary for further examination of the document. | 49767 |
General Application | A link to the Document Log has been added to the Document Journal page. | 50367 |
General Application | With 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:
| 50510 |
General Application | Possibility to drag-and-drop attachments to the general and purchase journal lines has been added. Files can be attached using the action Attachments available in general and purchase journals. | 50913 |
General Application | Previously, the only supported migration path from on-premises to Business Central Online was from BC15. Migrating directly from BC14 to BC24 in a single step is now supported. | 51069 |
General Application | When sending a purchase approval status email to the approval users and the mail delivery fails, the error message shown now includes the email address of the failed recipient. | 52062 |
General Application | Enabling the option Check for attachment before posting of purchase document in the Document Capture Setup page specifies if the system should display an error message if no incoming document or Document Capture file is associated with the document at the time of posting. The check is imposed both on purchase documents and purchase journals. The option only applies to on-premises environments and Business Central versions 23.1 and earlier. | 52815 |
General Application | The internal version of Document Capture 2024 R1 has been updated to 24 (the internal version of Document Capture 2023 R2 was 12). The change aims to align the Continia solution versions with those of Business Central, simplifying for Continia partners which versions of the solutions are compatible. The synchronization is particularly crucial for the Continia Core and Continia Delivery Network extensions. | 53678 |
General Application | Now the user export will only run if any changes necessitate a new export, reducing unnecessary excessive exports when configured in the Job Queue. If the export is run in a database where the data for export is unchanged since the last export, the following notification will be shown:
| 53851 |

Purchase Contracts | When 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:
| 45255 |
Purchase Contracts | A new field, End Date, has been added to the Purchase Contract Lines. This field is used to verify relations to a purchase contract line in multiple scenarios, when updating start and end date fields. If there are already posted invoices, which are linked to the purchase contract line and latest posting date is not within the contract line start and end dates, one of the following errors is shown:
| 45569 |
Purchase Contracts | The following feature is only available for the US localization of Document Capture. Added support for defining tax differences on the purchase contract lines using the Purchase Contract Statistics page. To view and adjust the taxes breakdown for the purchase contract, the action Statistics is added to the Purchase Contract card. | 46116 |
Purchase Contracts | Multiple invoices related to the same purchase contract and within the purchase contract's invoicing period are not auto-approved. | 47823 |
Purchase Contracts | The Continia Web Approval Portal has been extended to support the selection of purchase contracts for purchase invoices. The below three fields are added to Invoice Lines section in the Web Approval Portal enabling the approvers to select/change the associated contract number and contract line:
| 48956 |
Purchase Contracts | Field Purch. Contracts Administrator in the Continia User Setup has been set to Obsolete = Pending. To replace the setup field, a new permission set CDC-PC-ADMIN has been created. Therefore, all Purchase Contracts administrators must be manually assigned this permission set after the upgrade. The following fields on the Purchase Contracts List and Purchase Contract Card are now only visible to users who are assigned the CDC-PC-ADMIN or similar permissions:
| 50886 |
Purchase Contracts | To ensure that the amounts on the created purchase invoice are based on the registered document instead of the purchase contract lines, a new option, Distribute Document Amount, has been added on the Purchase Contracts Setup page. With the option active, the document’s amount will be distributed across the active purchase contract lines which have the Price Type set to Variable Amount, when the document’s amount is recognized using a header template amount field The purchase contract lines with the Price Type set to Fixed Amount are not included in the distribution process, and therefore transferred to the registered invoice with their original contract line amounts. The configuration file has been updated for all localizations, ensuring that the Distribute Document Amount feature is automatically activated for new users of Purchase Contracts. Existing users upgrading to this version will not experience any changes in their current setup. However, by running the Document Capture Setup Guide or downloading the updated Purchase Contracts configuration file from the Purchase Contracts Setup page, the Distribute Document Amount feature will be activated. | 53389 |
Purchase Documents | You can now enter a negative amount in the New Amount Excl. VAT field on the Change Document Amount page. The error message displayed when entering a negative number in the New Amount Incl. VAT has been changed to the following:
| 48535 |
Purchase Documents | Added a column showing the date and time the document was imported to the Document Log Summary page. | 49582 |
Purchase Documents | The possibility to handle vendor delivery notes in the Purchase Order category has been introduced. This feature builds on the existing purchase invoice matching user interface from the Purchase category, which makes it easy to navigate and utilize the functionality. With this new feature, delivery notes can be easily matched with purchase orders and posted as purchase receipts, | 49672 |
Purchase Documents | Previously, 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 |
Purchase Documents | When updating an existing purchase order in the Purchase Order category in the Document Journal, the following comment was shown:
| 52399 |
Purchase Documents | When both the standard attachment action and the Document Capture attachment action are visible on the same page, the caption for the Document Capture action is changed to Document Capture Attachments. | 52781 |

| 48914 |
General Application | Changed the way Document Capture requests the number of files to process when opening the Document Journal. This will speed up opening Document Journal immensely when using File Service as the storage type. | 53801 |
Order & Receipt Matching | When conducting a purchase order/receipt match and manually unmatching everything, you could end up with an empty comment section, potentially allowing you to register the invoice unnoticed. This was only possible if the Allow Register w/o Amounts option in the template was enabled. | 45238 |
Order & Receipt Matching | When a matched amount was calculated during the match process, the amounts where rounded using the rounding precision from General Ledger setup, instead of the rounding precision from the currency involved. | 49716 |
Purchase Contracts | The following feature is only available for the US localization of Document Capture. Support for tax calculation has been added to the Purchase Contract Card. The following two new fields have been added to the purchase contract header:
| 32643 |
