Release Notes: September 4, 2024

Note: We may roll out certain changes iteratively through our customer base. As a result, you may experience a few days’ delay (no more than one week) before you see new functionality in your Production environment.

Upcoming Changes

EMBURSE ANALYTICS

Emburse Connect for Analytics Enhancements

In our next release we will add a number of new views to the Emburse Connect for Analytics solution to enable Chrome River users to report on the following:

• Audit of changes applied via the Admin screens
• List of transactions that failed to load into Chrome River
• List of Vacation Delegates currently configured for all expense owners
• List of all roles/entity types/entities assigned to expense owners

ADMIN

Enhancement to V4/Persons REST APIs

In an upcoming release we will be making a change to the copyingItems attribute in the V4/Persons/Post and V4/Persons/Batch APIs. The copyingItems attribute specifies whether or not certain common fields are copied from a previous expense entry to the next, simplifying expense entry. Individual users can change this setting on their own via the “Copy Expense Attributes” option under Account Settings Preferences Settings. With this change, if the copyingItems attribute is not provided on the API call when creating a new Person record, the attribute will be defaulted to ON. If different behavior is required, the attribute can be set explicitly in the API call.

Enhancements

INVOICE

Introducing the Invoice Image REST API

Chrome River INVOICE customers may now update invoice images via our new Invoice Image REST API. If your organization has been using the SOAP invoice-api for approving, assigning, or returning invoices, simply reuse your existing API key. Otherwise, a new API key may be generated by following the directions in the API Key Management Admin Screen help article.

Customers are encouraged to transition to the new REST API now, before the SOAP API is eventually phased out. The benefits of switching to the REST API include enhanced performance, scalability, and security. For complete details, see Image Integration API for INVOICE in the Chrome River Help Center.

INTEGRATIONS

Amazon Business Integration UDA Enhancement

For customers who use our Amazon Business Integration, we have enhanced the way Amazon custom fields are assigned to Chrome River UDAs. Previously, Amazon custom fields were being assigned to Chrome River UDA names that did not allow them to be used to the fullest extent possible within the Chrome River user interface. With this release, we are assigning Amazon Business Integration custom fields to UDA names that can potentially be used on expense forms, business rules, and exports. For example, UDAs populated on Amazon Business transactions may be visible on the applied line item whenever the line item form contains a definition for the UDA.

ADMIN

Split Receipt Pack PDFs By Line Item By Default

On the Request Digital Receipts admin screen we recently introduced the option to download the Receipt Pack (Expense) as a collection of individual line-item receipt PDFs rather than a single consolidated PDF file.

Now, customers may set the Split PDFs By Line Item checkbox to be selected by default. Admins with appropriate permissions may navigate to the Customer Preferences Admin Screen Expense Line Item Detail and check the box next to “Split Receipt Pack PDFs By Line Item.”

Note that this new preference only affects the default value of the checkbox. Users will still be able to check or uncheck it prior to submitting the request.
