Release Notes (NetSuite)

We’re excited to introduce a new feature that allows clients to apply bill credits directly from the Pay Vendor Bills page. This enhancement optimizes your payment process, offering greater control, flexibility, and efficiency in managing your accounts payable workflows. Key Features: Real-Time Bill Credit Application: Clients can now apply bill credits in real-time directly from the Pay Vendor Bills page. This streamlines the payment process and enables bill credits to be applied at time of payment. Precise Credit Management: The feature allows clients to apply bill credits per currency, per vendor, and across different A/P accounts. This functionality ensures credits are managed effectively according to your specific accounting workflows. Application Methods: We offer two methods for applying bill credits: Auto-Apply: The Auto-Apply function simplifies the process by automatically applying the available bill credits to the open bills, applying available bill credits in order of due date, starting from the oldest moving to the newest. Manual Apply: The Manual Apply function allows clients to select specific bill credits and determine the amount to apply to particular bills, giving them precise control over the allocation of bill credits. This feature works smoothly with bill credits and discounts that are natively applied within the bill. For more details on how to use the new Bill Credits Application feature, please refer to our Product Guide: https://support.fispan.com/santander/applying-bill-credits-during-payment

The discount on the Pay Vendor Bills page is now calculated based on the Original Amount of the bill. This update ensures that the discount calculation is in alignment with standard accounting practices, providing greater accuracy and consistency in your vendor payments.

Fixed an issue on the Balances and Transactions page where the "Last Updated" information was not reflecting the correct sync time for intraday and previous day balances. This fix ensures that the "Last Updated" now reflects the correct sync time, ensuring improved visibility to your bank account data.

We've resolved an issue in the Confirm Payment pop-up where the bank accounts in the source account drop-down were partially hidden when only one payment method was selected. This fix ensures that the source account drop-down is fully visible and displays all bank accounts, regardless of the number of payment methods selected.

We've resolved an issue where the plugin was displaying inconsistent currency formats across pages. This fix ensures that all pages now adhere to the user's preferred currency format, providing consistency and accuracy throughout the plugin.

General improvements and bug fixes.

Fixed an issue on the Balances and Transactions page where inconsistent date formatting caused the Transaction Details pop-up to break. This fix ensures that clients can now access and view the Transaction Details pop-up.

The discount on the Pay Vendor Bills page is now calculated based on the Amount Due, aligning with native NetSuite behavior and adhering to standard accounting principles. This update replaces the previous calculation method, which was based on the Original Amount, ensuring more accurate and consistent discount applications across your vendor payments. You will still have the flexibility to modify the calculated discount as needed, streamlining the payment process while enhancing efficiency.

Fixed an issue where newly mapped accounts were not appearing in the Account Linking tab under the Financial Institution page. With this update, accounts will now display correctly, ensuring a smoother account linking process for Bank Feeds Service.

Previously, the Amount Due value in the Confirm Payment would be incorrect when one of the bills has discounts or credits applied. This issue has been resolved so that the Amount Due field displays the total original amount due for all selected bills without any discounts or credits applied. The Total to Pay value will reflect the final payment value which may be reduced by credits and discounts.

The Confirm Payment pop-up now displays bank account balances instead of ERP account balances. It also supports accounts with long names for better clarity and usability.

Resolved an issue where certain accounts were not visible in the Confirm Payment pop-up and the Balances and Transactions page, ensuring all accounts are now properly displayed.

Fixed a bug that caused the Amount Due and Total To Pay columns to display incorrect amounts in the Confirm Payment pop-up.

The "Balance of Date" field in NetSuite's Match Bank Data module now provides a more accurate date. This update resolves the issue where incorrect dates were returned when an account’s balance information was unavailable.

The Bank Feeds product now has support for an extended list of BAI codes (458 and 158). This change will help minimize the need to manually add transactions with unsupported BAI codes and reduce errors caused when transactions with these codes are pushed into Netsuite.

Updated the Confirm Payment pop-up to now display Discount and Credit columns, along with the source account balance, for a more comprehensive overview during the payment process. The source account will only appear in the Confirm Payment pop-up if the associated bank account has a number input in the Number field.

The Balances and Transaction page will now filter out accounts with no balances. The issue causing this functionality to stop working has been resolved.

Bank Feeds parser is renamed to provide clarity to clients as to which parser they are utilizing. FISPAN encourages all clients to migrate to the new Bank Feeds parser. The legacy bank feed parsers will now be named to Santander Fusion BAI2 Trans Feed [Old] and Santander Fusion CSV Trans Feed [Old]. Clients who utilize the legacy bank feed product or the new bank feed product will have no impact on their current connectivity. Here is the guideline on migrating bank feeds: https://support.fispan.com/santander/migrating-bank-feeds-netsuite

Support for 1000+ Bank Accounts on the Balances Page Fixed an issue on the Balance page where no accounts were displayed for clients with over 2000 accounts. The plugin now shows only the matched accounts from the FISPAN platform, ensuring all relevant accounts are shown.

We have fixed a bug that caused the Pay Bills page to glitch for clients with custom columns enabled after clicking "Pay." This issue only affected clients who updated to version 2024.5.0.

We've made improvements to the notification system, specifically for updating payment statuses after processing payments from the Pay Bills page. These enhancements ensure that notifications are delivered with greater speed, allowing you to receive important updates promptly.

We've resolved an issue where the Last Updated date for bank balances on the Balances and Transactions page didn’t reflect the actual bank sync time. With this fix, the Last Updated date now accurately reflects the latest bank sync time and timestamps are consistent.

We've addressed an issue on the Pay Bills page where the Payment Method column sorting wasn't functioning correctly. With this fix, the Payment Method column can be utilized to sort bills accurately.

We've resolved an issue where incomplete transactions caused errors when clicking the "View" button on the Transactions page. With this fix, you can now view transaction details even if data is missing and the page will remain functional.

Santander Fusion is soon to offer ACH payment support, enhancing your payment capabilities. With this update, managing ACH payments within your NetSuite environment will be seamless, eliminating manual processes and reducing errors.

Upon updating the plugin, the payment module will become available. Please contact your Treasury Sales Manager for further details on leveraging ACH payments with Santander Fusion.

The new Bank Feeds Service has been updated to handle large transaction volumes (1000+) more efficiently, minimizing the risk of timeout errors. This improvement doesn't affect client experience; clients can still pull in transactions as they normally would without any changes. There is no impact to users on the Legacy Bank Feeds.

Implemented a fix where the screen goes blank after clicking “View” on a pending transaction on the Balances & Transactions page. Clicking “View” will now populate the Transaction Details window as expected, but as the transaction is pending most fields will remain empty until they have settled.

We've enhanced the transaction details dialog box on the Account Details page of Balances & Transactions to improve the overall appearance and formatting of data. It will now better handle longer transaction data.

On the Account Details page of Balances & Transactions, the date range users can export their bank transactions for has been limited to 65 days due to large date ranges causing the retrieval and export services to fail.

This update is related to the Open Beta announced in the last release for French Canadian language support where the system was attempting to translate the names of SuiteScripts associated with the bank plugin and was causing problems. Translation logic was updated to exclude names of scripts.

On a Format Profile for a Financial Institution when your bank Connectivity Method is selected, a SSS_USAGE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED may be incorrectly triggered when it should have been a SUITESCRIPT_API_UNAVAILABLE_IN_DEFINE error. The SuiteScript API error was caused by calls being made outside of a specific function. The incorrect error messaging and the root cause of the SuiteScript API error has since been resolved.

Plugin Version is now something we can see and take into consideration when sending out in-ERP Billboard notifications.

OPEN BETA: French Canadian support now available. Users are now able to use the bank plugin in French Canadian. Text shown in menus, page names, column headers, among other areas in the plugin have been translated with the exception of error messages, which will remain in English. This feature is in open beta and we are open to any feedback or suggestions about this new language option. To enable French Canadian, an Administrator must enable 'Multi-Language' from Setup > Company > Setup Tasks > Enable Features. From there, users can change the language by navigating to Home > Set Preferences. Below the General subtab under the Localization heading, select Français (Canada) in the Language drop-down. A user’s language preferences will not affect users on the same NetSuite Company.

Resolved issue where users could not dismiss the billboard banner notifications, even after clicking the ‘x’.

General bug fixes and improvements.

Added links to the footer for easier access to guides, release notes, feedback portal, and how to contact support.

The NetSuite plugin now displays a footer on the bottom of every page. The footer currently displays the bundle name and version and may show additional information in future versions.

Previously, the plugin’s Billboard Restlet was not accessible by non-Administrator roles. If users did not have access to this Restlet, they may have missed notifications or alerts within the NetSuite plugin. It has now been updated so that users with minimum permissions can gain access to this Restlet. Suitelets are still only accessible by administrators. To get access to this new change, the user must update the plugin.
