      Finance

      Accounts Payable Import

      The accounts payable import application has been revised in this Scope release with regard to existing and future e-invoicing obligations in Europe.

      The import function now supports two new e-invoice file formats:

      • UN/CEFACT Cross-Industry Invoice (CII) format

      • ZUGFeRD / Factur-X e-invoices. ZUGFeRD, as well as the de facto identical French open e-invoice format Factur-X, embed machine-readable UN/CEFACT CII e-invoices in human-readable PDF files.

      The columns on the overview have been rearranged to display important information more prominently. For example, the import status has been moved to one of the first columns.

      finance_AP import layout2

      The layout of the accounts payable import editor has been improved to display related information side by side.

      finance_AP import layout_new
       

      When assigning an order item of an e-invoice to a shipment in Scope, general shipment data, the jobcosting of the shipment and the related invoice lines of the e-invoice are now shown in the same dialog. This allows an easier verification of the assigned shipment and simplifies the allocation of invoiced services to Scope charge types.

      finance_e-invoice_import layout_new

      Finally, the import process has been expanded with new options that can be selected on the accounts payable import templates.

      • Invoice notes on header and charge line level can be imported from CSV/XLS files

      • Invoice notes of an accounts payable import entry can be copied to accounts payable remarks

      • Accounts payables automatically created by an import can now be finalized, even though there are charge lines that are not linked to estimates. This option is bound to a new permission to ensure that it cannot be enabled by every user. The maximum tolerated estimate deviation still applies for all charge lines that are linked to estimates.
