# Change - Account Code Analysis Tag Type

In addition to the existing 'Required' and 'Suggested' Analysis Tag Types, we have now introduced a new Analysis Tag Type called 'Coding'.

When coding an invoice, each Account Code can have associated Analysis Tags. The associated Analysis Tags can be one of 3 types:

  • Required – Value must be provided before final approval.
  • Suggested – Value can optionally be added or the Tag completely removed from the coding line.
  • Coding – Value must be provided before confirming the coding and cannot be changed after the coding is confirmed, unless the approver sends it back for 'Recode' in the event the value is incorrect.

To set up or change an Analysis Tag Type, click on Administration/Account Codes Admin Account Codes

Search for the Account Code you would like to update then select Edit to edit the Account Code. Edit Account Code

If you are familiar with the current Account Code Screen, you will notice that the Analysis Tag Type selection has changed.

The coding process will remain unchanged. The Invoice can be coded and the distributions confirmed as usual. Coding Process Screen

In this Pending Coding example, because the Analysis Tag Type 'Dept' was set up as 'Coding'. However the user did not select an analysis tag, therefore an error displays. Pending Coding View

In this Pending Approval example, because the Analysis Tag Type 'Dept' was set up as 'Coding' and the coding has been confirmed, the invoice coding can no longer be changed. Pending Approval View

# New - Shared Document (Invoice) Feature

This Feature allows our DX2 clients to send invoices to their customers who are not set up on the DX2 platform. The customer receives an email with the invoice PDF attachment, some detail about the invoice in the body of the email and a button to allow them to View Invoice on DX2. If they click the View Invoice on DX2 they are taken to the DX2 platform without the requirement to login to view the detail.

The customer can then download the invoice, collaborate with the DX2 client about the document and see other activities and attachments etc.

Documents can be shared individually by clicking on the Share Document button on the document detail page.

# New Edit Approval Document

You now have the ability to modify your document once submitted to Approvals. So if you have an area on the document you didn’t quite capture correctly you no longer have to discard the document you can edit the part of the document in error directly from the Approvals page.

You can only edit the document in Approvals if you have Account Coder Permission on your Security Group.

If you have coding permission, you can edit the document when it is in either Pending Coding OR Pending Approval states. However if you change a Pending Approval document it will be sent back to the Pending Coding State as the Coding team must check that the distributions are still valid.

Thus if there are multiple approval lines they will all be set back to the beginning of the process.

Note: A warning to this effect is given.

Permissions

Locate your document in the Approvals page and click the Edit icon.

Permissions

All the areas on the document become available for modification.

# MARCH

This release includes continued improvements to the DX2 Portal.

Please log any issues with support@olympic.co.nz.

# New Collaboration (Comments) and Activity Panel

This new view will be deployed for ALL clients on Monday 15th March.

The External Comments tab on a document is combined with the Internal Comments and Activity Panel and is designed to make it much clearer as to whether you are Communicating with internal staff versus with external trading partners.

Changes and important notes below:

  • The comments graphics are designed to differentiate between the audit trail of a document activities and comments made on a document. Because the comment (chat) updates happen “real-time” as the conversation is in progress you can collaborate on the platform and not require a transcript as it is all recorded against the document.
  • All Internal comments are visible to your own internal staff registered on DX2 provided they have the appropriate permissions to access or view the document in question.
  • If you use @persons_name on either External and Internal comments the comment is also emailed to the person you have tagged.

IMPORTANT!

Any comments/activities on the Internal panel are visible to ALL internal staff who have DX2 access and access to that document from the Documents area. Any comments/activities on the External panel are visible to ALL users set up for your external Trading partner and internal staff who have DX2 access and access to that document from the Documents area.

# EXTERNAL / INTERNAL COMMENTS VIEW

Only Active TP's will be able to collaborate on a document, for this reason a user will only see the Internal comments tab for some TP's. The External comments will not show at all and activities will appear on the Internal view.

The below shows the Internal comments view where the Trading Partner is Active. To navigate between the two simply click on the panel.

Permissions

The below shows the view if the Trading Partner is Silent (not active):

# FEBRUARY

# New Documents View

The Documents view has been changed to provide more information at a glance on the main list view and provide the option of a Tile view primarily for mobile.

The improvements include:

  • List view and Tiles view (mobile) with more information on the main list view (see new columns below)
  • Different colours for different statuses
  • Ability to see the Approval actions, as well as the Document status.
  • Ability to search the contents of document header Analysis Tags (not distribution level).
  • Filter on Approval Actions
Permissions Permissions Permissions

Note: the Analysis Tag search must be exact (including spaces as above).

# New Secure Documents Filter

Your Administration users can now set up selection criteria for Security groups whereby those groups only view documents as specified for the group.

IMPORTANT! These filters directly affect what the Security Group(s) selected see on the Documents page. As soon as you add a filter for a group they will cease to see ALL other documents (past and present) that do NOT meet the criteria. We recommend trying out the filters in Sandbox first.

This feature can only be used with the NEW Documents View (above).

Permissions

For example in the filter below the SP Coder group will only see documents from receiving Trading Partner equal to Quick Catering that have a document Analysis Tag Department containing SE.

Permissions Permissions

When adding conditions you can toggle between AND and OR by clicking on the box:

Permissions Permissions

To add your filter choice click the Plus sign, you can choose between Analysis Tag (Header level), Document and Trading Partner or add a new group branch.

# Operands

Some operand examples: Permissions

Each of the above have further grouping breakdown options. For example if selecting by Analysis Tag then you would specify the key then can further filter by the key value(s).

# New Restrict Approvals – Users Only See Documents Assigned To Their Approval Chain

In association with the above Documents restrictions all Approvers can be restricted to only show documents where they are part of the approval chain(s) for the document. They cannot select the Assigned to All option.
Only users who are part of the Default Approval Document Group can see ALL Approval documents.

Permissions

I.e. If this feature is selected then users no longer have the option in the Approvals filters to see Assigned to Anyone unless part of the Default Approval Document Group then they will always see all approvals.

SECURITY NOTE: if the user is in a security group with access to Capture they will still see all capture files sent to DX2 and their contents.

# Auto Approval – Action If Outside Tolerance

# Purchase Users

There are some scenarios during 2-way match where an invoice which is not auto-approved (outside tolerance), moves to Pending Approval. An exception is where the purchase order is “Closed for Invoicing” then the invoice goes to Coding Pending status.
The option now exists for invoices to ALL go back to Coding Pending if any “outside tolerance” options are found so the coders can make changes as required or check for duplicate invoices or fraudulent activity.

Please advise Olympic Support if you would like to implement this feature.

# Notifications (Daily Digest) – Options for Email

Two options now exist for clients around the content of the notification email that is sent out daily to advise when notifications exist around active documents:

  • Option 1 (Default): Email notifications re: Only show new document actions from the last 24hrs.
  • Option 2: Keep emailing document action notifications until the required action is taken on the document. Note: If the option is changed then only documents from that point on will behave in the new manner.

# New - Purchase Order PDF Attachment

The option is now available to attach a PDF of the purchase order being sent to suppliers via the email template sent. When the required Rule is set up the PDF attachment will be created upon approval and completion of a purchase order and if your DX2 is set up to automatically send the purchase order to the supplier the PDF will be attached to the email sent. Alternatively you can use the “Share” option to manually send the email and associated PDF attachment to the supplier.

Permissions

Once created you can also view the PDF attachment from the Information Tab under Attachments.

Permissions

# CUSTOM PDF

A standard PDF layout exists but we can create a customized version if required. E.g. Add a company logo and move or remove information.

# Purchase New – Fixed Addresses for Use by All Users in Cart

The option in the Purchase Cart now exists for users to only select addresses from a set list rather than each user having to set up their own addresses the first time they do a Requisition in Purchase. Users cannot set up addresses themselves with this option. This means if you have multiple branches that receive deliveries these can all be set up for selection by any user, i.e. not have to be set up individually by user.
As per current functionality the last selected address will be remembered for that user the next time they place a Requisition. Please contact DX2 Support if you are an existing DX2 Purchase client and would like to implement this option.
