ZUGFeRD/XRechnung optimizations: New features for greater flexibility and accuracy

The latest update has added several features in the area of ZUGFeRD invoicing implemented to make working with c-entron even more efficient and better adaptable to individual customer requirements:

Different client database per customer

In the Address database (Tab Finance) can now different client database be defined per customer.

Previously, the bank details used were defined globally via the settings. With this new feature, a different client bank can now be selected for each customer—particularly relevant for constellations with Assignment companies or factoring-based payment processes.

Support for assignment companies

In the Client management can now be used for bank accounts 1–4 Transfer notes be deposited.

If such a note is set and the relevant bank details are used for a customer:

- the note is transferred to the ZUGFeRD invoice,
- and the field "Account holder" with the value from the extended field "Owner" filled.
  The "Owner" field was changed in the process from 27 to 250 characters extended to allow for longer entries.

Multi-line recipient in ZUGFeRD format

The transfer of multi-line recipient information (e.g., department, contact person) is now significantly better supported.

Previously, only the company name and address were transferred during ZUGFeRD generation – additional information in the field Recipient were lost.
The current solution reliably recognizes this multi-line content provided that the address matches exactly.
Work is currently underway on a more advanced, robust solution for digital receiver transmission.

These enhancements offer improved data quality and increased flexibility in outgoing invoicing, particularly for companies with complex billing processes or specific recipient requirements.

Fixed bugs

Address database

A bug has been fixed that prevented the default contact person in the ticket from being changed. In addition, saving tickets using the button in the ribbon now works as usual again—even when using the web service.

Item management

When searching for serial numbers in item management, the error message "ArgumentOutOfRangeException (parameter 'duration') – Actual value was 3" could occur if an unsupported value (e.g., -1) was entered in the "Warranty1Type" field. This error has been fixed.

Documentation

When editing a credit note, changes made to the combo box in the "Money value only" column are now applied immediately. No additional confirmation or temporary storage is required—the change takes effect immediately.

Accounting export

In ABACUS, the new fields DebtorVersion, CreditorVersion, DebtorReceiptVersion, and CreditorReceiptVersion were introduced to enable flexible selection of versions for customers, suppliers, and documents during accounting export. In addition, the maximum text length in the export XML was limited to 59 characters to meet the requirements of the ABACUS interface.

Dynamic data import

The error in dynamic contract import, whereby the variable "purchase price" displayed the wrong value, has been fixed.
The total price from the XML was incorrectly transferred as the sales price, even though the option "Ignore sales price of import" was activated in the configuration. This behavior has been corrected.

EDI

The length of the "PartnerName3" field in the XML file of the EDI order at ALSO (as specified by ALSO) has been limited to 35 characters.
A problem with automated EAN assignment within the EDI interface to ITScope has been fixed.

Settings

The message "Oops! The 'Settings' module could not be opened" has been fixed. The settings are displayed again.

Exchange Connector

During calendar synchronization, an "Invalid DateTime Conversion" error could occur when a date prior to 1900 was detected—for example, the year 1604, which is well outside the valid range. To avoid such problems, we have now restricted calendar entries to a minimum date of January 1, 1900.

Campaign/mailing

Admins with admin rights can now edit campaigns even if they are not listed as participating employees.

As before, participants with an "A" flag (admin) also have editing rights for campaigns.

AI integration

The API link (https://api.openai.com/v1) is now automatically stored again under Global Settings - Administration - AI Connection.

Email templates

The variables match code, order number, and purchase order number can now be used in the email template for orders. The order number and purchase order number are automatically filled in based on the corresponding order. If the order contains multiple orders, the first order is used to fill in the variables.

Online banking (FinAPI/HBCI)

An error in the automatic document assignment via the online banking module meant that valid invoice numbers were not recognized—this has now been corrected.

Ticket billing

Depending on the data configuration, it was no longer possible to store/change the item for quota balancing in the settings for standard items.

Contract settlements

An error in contract billing has been fixed where the adjustment item was not transferred in cases of rounding differences in parts lists, which could lead to amount discrepancies.
The total price from the XML was incorrectly transferred as the sales price, even though the option "Ignore sales price of import" was activated in the configuration. This behavior has been corrected.

Contract management

The error when importing prices for contracts, which resulted in a discount on the sales price (SP) being applied directly in the article master for special prices, has been fixed.
Changes in additional fields when creating/modifying a new contract version are now reliably saved regardless of whether the "Additional fields" tab is active.

ZUGFeRD/XRechnung

The message: "ZUGFeRD: The gross amount of the invoice (xy) differs from the sum of the items (xy). Please check the invoice." has been located and fixed.
The creation of the ZUGFeRD PDF will now be canceled if the total of the ZUGFeRD items differs from the invoice total.
An error in contract billing has been fixed where the adjustment item was not transferred in cases of rounding differences in parts lists, which could lead to amount discrepancies.
The mailbox is now also supported for ZUGFeRD export: Mailbox numbers without spaces are automatically formatted correctly. In addition, the recipient logic has been adjusted to better comply with the postal standard.
