Our July release delivers key performance and reliability upgrades across Ascend, focusing on document ingestion accuracy, Workday submission stability, e-invoicing pipelines, and rules engine automation.
Non-PO Line Item Automation: Zero-Loss OCR Retention
Upgraded preprocessing logic completely eliminates unexpected line-item data loss on Non-PO invoices.
- Default Line Retention: Imaging and OCR-recognized line items are locked in by default. They are only cleared or replaced when an automated coding rule is 100% successful.
- Smarter Fallback Protection: If a configured automation rule fails to match historical data, the system preserves original recognition lines so your AP specialists always have baseline data to work from.
- Ironclad Peppol & Pagero Protection: Electronic invoice lines originating from structured e-invoicing streams are shielded from being inadvertently overwritten by Dummy line logic.
Workday Invoice Submission (v43.0)
Upgraded integration logic following the Workday Resource Management API release to eliminate submission bottlenecks
- Fixed tax calculation and control-total errors that were sending Non-PO invoices to Draft status.
- Restored automated tax code defaulting on PO lines.
- Resolved Supplier Invoice Request (SIR) errors on quantity lines and Unit of Measure mappings.
- Corrected line-level Ship-To defaults and improved Workday Projects Customer Reference sync.
Document Ingestion & Viewing
- Self-Healing PDFs: Automatically detects and repairs corrupted PDFs so documents load cleanly in AscendAP and Workday.
- Batch Handling: Conversion failures and unsupported files no longer leave processing batches stuck.
- Viewer & Barcodes: Improved rendering in the Vue 3 viewer and refreshed copies prior to barcode retry attempts.
Rules Engine, Automation & Billing
- Billing Dates: Full-lifecycle visibility to capture, process, and report service and billing dates across workflows, APIs, and ETL pipelines.
- Tax Defaulting: Defaults tax codes to "GST Free" based on supplier payment type.
- Routing Controls: Added configuration options for Mailstop, Cost Center, and Ship-To rules.
- Engine Fixes: Corrected preprocessing rule execution, removed false "Document Rule Applied" banners, eliminated duplicate cluster rules, and added safe fallbacks for missing prototype templates.
Peppol / Pagero E-Invoicing
- Enhanced Mapping: Refined line-item null handling and original/reference line mappings.
- Adjustments & Exports: Added support for increase/decrease liability on adjustment notes and enabled sending target XML to Workday as an attachment.
- Custom Fields: Expanded configuration options for non-standard Pagero fields.
Search, UI & Data Quality
- Intuitive HighRadius UI/UX: Enjoy a cleaner, more streamlined user interface seamlessly applied to your existing workspace.
- Search Fix: Advanced Search now correctly displays Supplier Email Address instead of a datetime value.
- Data Integrity: Fixed credit memo line pairing, payment terms/types, Ship-To text truncation, and missing prediction fields in API responses.
- Header Support: Added previous invoice header field support during preprocessing and on-demand runs.
Why This Matters to Your Operation?
- End Manual Re-Work: Eliminates re-keying OCR data and manually clearing stalled file batches.
- Higher First-Time Accuracy: Minimizes draft fallbacks and tax mismatches upon Workday submission.
- Predictable Processing: Delivers consistent performance across physical scans, e-invoices, and ERP syncs.
