Ascend Release Notes: May 2026

More Reliable PO Line Fields Population

PO line fields—such as spend category and item description—now populate more reliably during initial invoice processing.

Previously, some customers saw empty fields until lines were manually removed and re-added. Critical coding data is now more likely to appear on first ingest.

Smarter Automated Field Selection

Ascend improved how it chooses the best value when multiple recognition methods return results for the same invoice field.

Improved Duplicate Detection for Flagged Invoices

Duplicate detection now treats invoices in Flagged status as original documents for comparison.

If a duplicate arrives while the original is Flagged, Ascend correctly marks the later invoice as Duplicate and surfaces it in the Duplicate experience—reducing duplicate processing effort.

Credit Submission and Tax Field Reliability

• Credits no longer fail Workday submission due to Tax Point Date validation when Tax Point Date was not provided.
• Tax and withholding tax fields show the code name when Workday description text is missing, so fields no longer look blank.
• When currency is not predicted, preprocessing can default currency using supplier, then company, then a configured default.

Supplier Contract Flip and Line Workbench Fixes

• Supplier Contract Flip now allows fully depleting a contract line (remaining amount can reach zero when appropriate).
• Line Workbench search now functions across all line fields, including after modifying numeric line values.
• Enhancement to selectively displayed fields in the Ascend AP UI.
