Release Notes: August 25, 2026

This release includes Invoice improvements that extend non-invoice email filtering, expand Invoice Tax Validation to France, and add Refuse and Cancel for French e-invoices.

Highlights

• Stronger Email Intake Filtering: Non-invoice email filtering now blocks invoice-mimicking documents before they become invoice records, with a re-submit path in the notification email for exceptions.
• France Invoice Tax Validation: France is now supported for Invoice Tax Validation, helping organizations validate vendor-submitted XML e-invoices against French government mandates before invoices enter the approval workflow.
• Refuse and Cancel for French e-Invoices: Customers who process French e-invoices can refuse and cancel an invoice from the invoice detail page when a document does not meet their organization's requirements, while retaining a record and notifying the supplier through Emburse's compliance partner.

Improvements

INVOICE

Non-Invoice Email Submission Filtering

Emburse Invoice Enterprise now extends non-invoice email submission filtering to structured documents that resemble invoices, like account statements and proof-of-delivery documents. Emburse AI evaluates emailed submissions and blocks these documents before an invoice record is created, building on existing filtering for logos, signatures, and similar small non-invoice attachments.

When a document is filtered, the submitter notification email includes three sections: Invoices created successfully, an AI Review Queue section for documents the AI could not confidently classify as invoices, and an Unable-to-create section for files that failed to process.

The AI Review Queue section lists each filtered document by file name and provides a RE-SUBMIT button. The notification is sent to the original email submitter and the configured default Emburse user. Either recipient can select RE-SUBMIT in the email to recover a legitimate document that was misclassified, e.g., a toll statement that is being used instead of an invoice.

France Added to Supported Countries for Invoice Tax Validation

France has been added to the list of supported countries for Invoice Tax Validation for customers who operate in France. If your organization is required to comply with France's mandatory B2B e-invoicing reform, Invoice Tax Validation checks vendor-submitted XML e-invoices against local government mandates before they enter your invoice approval workflow. External registration and onboarding requirements related to French e-invoicing are managed outside of Emburse Enterprise and must be completed in external government systems.

Refuse and Cancel French E-Invoices

If your organization is required to comply with France's mandatory B2B e-invoicing reform, users can now refuse and cancel submitted French e-invoices from the invoice detail page. Select More Actions, and then select Refuse and Cancel. 

After you provide a refusal reason, cancellation reason, and description, Emburse cancels the invoice while retaining a record of it and notifies Emburse's compliance partner, who notifies the supplier.
