November 6, 2025

The following updates in VAT Filing will be released in UAT on November 6, 2025, and in PRD on November 10, 2025.

New and improved

Batch API Log
We added a new page for tracking batch imports received through new Batch API. Users can now view and monitor import logs for all API-driven batch operations.

Bug fixes

Invoices
We fixed a problem that was causing the page to enter infinite loading when clicking Add filter before the initial filter completed. Users can now apply multiple filters without experiencing loading problems.
API Import
We fixed a problem that was causing extended request times for Sync API calls. Users can now experience improved response times and better performance when using the Sync API.

Regulatory updates

Portugal VAT Return - Continente Report XML Enhancement
Empty values in Box 12 and Box 13 will no longer generate corresponding XML tags in the Continente report XML output, making sure of cleaner schema compliance.
Germany VAT Return - Trading Name Field Correction
Trailing whitespace characters in the Company Settings Trading Name field are now stripped to prevent formatting inconsistencies in the generated XML submission file.
Italy Intrastat Dispatch - Schema Alignment
The TXT schema has been revised to align with the Tax Authority's technical specifications, reducing the risk of validation errors during import.
XML Output Timezone Enhancement
XML output files now generate timezone information based on the user account timezone settings rather than the server timezone. This makes sure that date and timestamp values in exported XML files reflect the user's configured timezone preference for improved accuracy and consistency.
