Hey everyone!

New Unimarket Updates Are Here!

During July we've added a number of improvements to help you manage your spend smoothly!

Major refreshes to our Contract Creation and Bid Request Creation are currently underway, and both of these should be available soon!

Contracts

To help with with the management of contracts, we've made a number of enhancements:

1. Contract Workflow Tasks are now sortable:

This will allow users to quickly find the tasks they need to action, or prioritize those that are long overdue!

2. We have a new Initial End Date field on all Contracts, which is separate from the End Date. This will help you track renewals and extensions as your contracts move through their lifecycles and compare them to the original bounds of the contract.

3. We have a new role coming for Contracts which will allow users to view any Contracts available to their Organization Units (or child ones below). This is very similar to our Sharing functionality, see more details here.

Account Codes

We've also made some important usability changes in this space!

1. It's now much clearer which parts of an Account Code format are mandatory:

2. If you're using our Validate Account Code integration, a new warning message will direct the user to any Account Codes that need attention!

Invoicing

To help ensure timely Invoice processing, we've made the following changes

1. 1099 Reporting Codes are now included as part of our Invoice Export and standard Invoice Report. We've also made these more prominent on the View Invoice screen.

2. More Attachment types are now supported in the Invoice Inbox, even if they are under 30KB. See details here.

3. Wanting to measure cycle time, or time between an Invoice arriving in the Inbox versus it's Creation? Make sure to use our Inbox Export, now including the Invoice Date! You can learn more about this here.

What's Coming

If you take a look in Demo, you'll notice our brand new Compare Page in the Marketplace. 

This page allows buyers & browsers to easily compare different catalog products and make informed decisions on pricing. 

We're wrapping up a couple of enhancements to this page before we roll it out to production later this month!
