Hey Everyone!

New Unimarket Updates Are Here! This month we've completed a visual overhaul of all email notifications coming from Unimarket Nova, these are live in Demo and will be enabled in Production on November 9th.

In Demo, you'll also see our brand new Invoice Dashboard. This gives Accounts Payable teams a new way to measure the effectiveness of their Invoice Processes, and identify weak points. We'll be revising this further before moving it into production by the end of the year!

Across the board we've also been listening to your feedback. Changes marked with 💎 were inspired by our Users!

Administration - Easily load Tags

Tags are an integral part of configuration within Nova. In the past, it was time-consuming and repetitive to set these up, and you might have disregarded these as an option! We have introduced a brand new Import that can help get tags live quickly:

As a reminder, we have tags across a number of modules:

• Product Tags - Drive Search Results & Approvals, eg: Hazardous, chemicals etc
• Supplier Tags - Categorise your Suppliers and build out your Guided Buying, Approvals, Filters, eg: Legal, Construction
• Invoice Inbox Tags - Help allocate work among your Accounts Payable staff or flag items On Hold or High Risk
• Sourcing - Flexible categorisation of your Requests, separate from Supplier level

The Tag Import is live in Demo and will be enabled in Production on November 9th.

We are actively working on other improvements to Tag Configuration. Faster ways to load Product Tags is up next!

Invoicing - Dashboard

Within our Invoicing module, we know that Accounts Payable staff need to assess the effectiveness of their Accounts Payable staff, move to Touchless Invoices (whether these are cXML, uploaded, Peppol or other sources) and try identify payment bottlenecks.

Our new Dashboard is live in Demo and helps shine a light on these data points:

We have a few adjustments to make before this is ready for production, so if you want to give it a try please navigate to Dashboard in Invoices in Demo. 

Feedback is very welcome, we want to make sure this lands well for all of our Invoicing customers!

💎Search Filters Visibility

Across all of our newer listing screens, all filters will be shown by default. 

You'll notice this on screens like our new Supplier Management page or the Invoice Inbox:

If you do prefer to hide the filters we'll remember this as a user preference.

Procure-to-Pay Changes

During October we made a number of key enhancements within P2P. These are designed to solve key pain points, and make life easier for your users. These include:

• 💎When a Purchase Order is created from a Quote, we will include more reference information on the PDF and Email that are sent to the Supplier. This will help ensure they have all the information they need to fulfil the PO successfully!
• 💎When editing a Blanket Order, it's now possible to edit the Account Code costings without adjusting the total value of the Order. 
• 💎When on the Requisitions screen, it's possible you might have transactions related to Suppliers you no longer trade with. These are clearly marked in the UI. We are looking to add this to other screens soon!

Email Notifications

Across Nova, our email notifications have been given a visual refresh. These are live in Demo and will reach Production next week on 9th November.

This is an example of the new format:

Expenses

The following functionality has been added into our Expenses module

• 💎Creating an expense in a multi-organization setup will feature the correct logo details, rather than just using your community level logo. More information on this configuration can be found here.
• UI improvements have been made to the Create Expense popup, especially when Credit Card Transactions are linked to the Expense

In Demo you'll notice a visual upgrade of our main Expenses screen. This will be moved into Production on 9th November, but please reach out with any feedback!

Expenses is a big focus for us, we're making great progress on bringing through standard rates for Lodging, Meals & Incidentals via GSA data within the US. 

We are also exploring how we can make Mileage easier to manage & give approvers greater ability to make or request changes to Amounts, Rates & Quantities.
