Bug fixes

Past Imports
  • We fixed a problem where transactions didn't appear in the batch details when importing archive dates and operation dates at the same time.
  • We fixed a problem that caused the date upload column of all batches belonging to the same company and import profile to be updated after import.

Returns
We fixed a problem where special characters appeared corrupted in the files exported from the return outputs.

Regulatory updates

Germany
Germany ESL Goods and Services
Enhanced data quality controls have been implemented in the German VAT return template to automatically remove trailing spaces from company name and trading name fields after truncation. This prevents potential XML validation errors during submission to German tax authorities.
Argentina
