SC-4344 – Extend Subsidiary Matching Algorithm with Alternative Names
To improve the flexibility of subsidiary matching—especially for customers using the generic email plugin (instead of per-subsidiary email addresses)—a new custom field has been introduced on the subsidiary record: ZC Subsidiary Alternative Name.
When the subsidiary name captured from a PDF differs from the official legal name, users can populate this field with one or more alternative names (comma-separated).
The matching algorithm now considers both the official subsidiary name and any alternative names defined in this field, resulting in improved matching accuracy.
SC-4774 / SC-4863 – Dashboard Date Filters Reflected in Drilldown Saved Searches
An enhancement has been made to the newly introduced AP Dashboard.
When a user selects a date filter other than “This Month” and clicks on widgets such as e-Invoices or Pending Approval Vendor Bills, the drilldown results will now reflect the same selected date filter.
This ensures consistency between dashboard data and drilldown views.
SC-4814 – [AP Payments] Support for Payments on Partially Credited Bills
Zone AP Payments now supports vendor bills that have been partially credited.
When vendor credits reduce the original bill amount, the system can now process payments for the remaining outstanding balance, enabling more accurate and flexible payment handling.
Bug Fixes
SC-4832 – Error When Processing B2P Records Linked to Multiple Purchase Orders
An issue was identified where customers experienced empty error messages and warnings when processing vendor bills linked to multiple purchase orders.
The root cause has been resolved, and processing now works correctly for bills associated with multiple POs.
SC-4856 – [AP Payments] Vendor State Population Issue for Non-US/Canada Beneficiaries
When creating beneficiary bank accounts in Zone AP Payments, populating the state field for countries other than the United States or Canada caused errors during synchronization with the payment provider.
This issue has been fixed, and beneficiary creation now works correctly for all supported countries.
SC-4888 – Hyperlinks Not Working in Zone Control Center (Incoming/Processed Views)
In Zone Control Center, hyperlinks were not consistently available in the Incoming Transactions and Processed This Month views.
- Vendor names were not always displayed as clickable links in Incoming Transactions
- Links to created vendor bills were missing in Processed views
These issues have been resolved. Hyperlinks are now displayed correctly, allowing users to quickly navigate to related records.
