We ship every week, and most of it never gets a headline. May was heavy: approvals that bend to real logic, intake that captures what finance actually needs, French e-invoicing live ahead of the reform, and Athena that clears the invoices that used to break automation. A slice of what went live.
Payflows PA is live
The September 2026 French e-invoicing reform is now a switch you've already flipped, not a project on your roadmap. We transmit, validate, and convert e-invoices on the official French rails, refusal codes flowing both ways, across inbound, outbound, e-reporting, and partial payments.
Approvals that match how your business actually decides
Write an approval rule the way you'd say it out loud, and ship it as a checkbox. Workflows now support OR conditions and skip-approval, so "auto-pay under 500 euros if the vendor's verified, or if it's a recurring vendor with 12+ months of history" stops needing a workaround.
Non-blocking approval steps
Work that used to wait on one pending approval now runs in parallel. Mark any step as non-blocking and the rest of the workflow keeps moving: build the order, send the contract, kick off the receipt while legal still reviews.
Apply workflow changes to vendors still in review
Change your vendor approval rules once and they apply to everyone, not just the next batch. Vendors already mid-review pick up the new flow automatically instead of finishing on the old one.
Collect the missing details after a request is in
Get the one missing field without bouncing the whole request. Send it back for specific details (cost center, justification, whatever's missing), the requester fills in just those, and you're pinged the moment it's done.
Athena processes complex invoices with higher accuracy
Athena now clears the invoices that used to break automation. She reads multi-tax-rate lines exactly as printed (Canada's 5% and 9.975%, no rounding), pushes 1,000+ line-item telecom and utility invoices through in one pass, and scopes her learned patterns per entity so your French rules don't leak into your German books.
Order from Amazon without leaving Payflows
Your Amazon cart becomes a PO without anyone retyping it. Your team shops the catalog inside Payflows, and the order flows back on its own with the right tax code on every line and a full audit trail.
Also shipped in May
We told you it was a heavy month. Also live:
- Fixed Assets V2. One register, one source of truth, no parallel spreadsheet. Capitalize, depreciate, amend, and dispose inside Payflows, with the audit trail following the asset.
- Versioned analytical axes. Reclassify the past without breaking a closed period. Move a cost center retroactively and keep both the old and new views queryable side by side.
- Audit trail on master data and forms. "Who changed this vendor's IBAN in March" takes ten seconds, not an afternoon. Every entity and form edit is logged.
- Global scopes. Set who sees what across procurement, accounting, treasury, and exports from one place, against your real org structure.
- Spend analytics as a shareable skill. Build an analysis once, and anyone on the team runs it by asking.
- Change entity and tax codes on a draft PO in one move. No copying the PO and re-entering every line.
- Delete ERP-synced entities. Tidy them up inside Payflows instead of going back to the source system.
That's May. More to come in June!
