Nordflows' elfs have been hard at work this christmas, and we are bringing you one final release before the holidays! 🎅

We want to thank you all for a great year in 2023, full of growth and exciting development on our platform! There are some big exciting features we are preparing for in 2024, and we cannot wait to tell you more. Keep an eye on our newsletters and release notes for more info in the new year.

For now, you can read about our latest changes to the platform.

From team Nordflow, we want to wish you all a merry christmas and happy new year! 🎆🎇

New functionality

New forwarding rules: We have expanded the functionality of forwarding documents between groups, to give you more control with the document flows. We have split forwarding into two options:

  • Internal forward
    When forwarding internally, the document will return to the current group, after approval on the new group, and continue on the original approval flow.

  • External forward
    When forwarding externally, the document will not return to the current group, and instead stay on the new group and follows the new groups approval flow. (this is how Nordflows forward has been working by default, before this feature)

You can choose to allow a group to have one or both of the forwarding options

Expanding archive view: We have updated the capability of the archive tab, so the default view now includes the following document states: delivered, archived, rejected. Before, you had to actively select rejected status, to be able to see them, which caused confusion.

Furthermore, it is also possible to select and view several states simultaneously, and being able to see documents that are still in approval, and in quarantine. This allows full transparency for documents still in progress, for normal users to still track their documents, after they have approved the document. Documents in approval can be viewed but not edited, and users can only see the documents that are within their user rights.

Improvements

Currency validator: To improve security against fraud and misinterpetations from our AI, we have added validation on currency. This will alert the user, if currency has changed on a supplier, from last time we received a document from the same supplier.

Expanded e-invoice setup: When setting up receival of e-invoices through Nemhandel, you can now choose if you want to enable it, and if we should accept e-invoices based on CVR/organization number, and/or GLN number used for Nemhandel in Denmark. The options are available under Customer profile -> Submitting documents:

Bug fixes

Fortnox: Mark invoice as paid: In Fortnox, we didn't properly trigger the paid status of an invoice, if it was set to be paid in Nordflow. This is now fixed.

Various journal fixes: Last release, we introduced a new and improved look to our journals table. This included some issues such as the order and width of columns, tabbing through fields blanked them and autofill wasn't working correctly. These issues are now fixed.

Future work:

We want to reveal what we have been working on lately, that will have a great impact on our future products:

Direct Pay: In the future, you will no longer have to log in to your netbank, or wait for the bookkeeper to finalize the document in your ERP system, to perform payments. We are going to offer paying your invoices directly through Nordflow!

In a new easy-to-use module, you will be able to see all upcoming payments, credit notes and connected bank accounts, to get a proper overview of your finances, while planning and sending the payments directly through our platform, and a simple MitID/BankID approval.

Key features:

  1. Group payments - No need to manually calculate credit notes, or request refunds from suppliers. By grouping payments together, we automatically deduct the credit notes from the payment, so you don't have to

  2. Multiple payment approvers - Need more people approving a payment? Approve from Nordflow based on existing users

  3. Plan ahead or pay now - Choose your own payment date, to have proper control over your payments

  4. See balances across all bank accounts - Transparency is key. Easily make sure you have the available funds for your payments, and see a list of all your different bank accounts

  5. International payments - Pay with IBAN with our market beating prices, international payments have never been easier
