We added additional product types to differentiate between buying and renting. This enables you to have different tax rules, pick different revenue accounts or display it differently on your document PDFs.
You can now pick either a gross or a net value and have the taxes calculated accordingly when setting up new products as options, whereas before we only allowed the configuration of net value in Options.
Options can now have their own properties, so you add additional data and granularity to your specific Use Case.
We added color-coding to our payment table to make it easier to see which are debit payments and which are credit payouts at a glance.

We enabled our Self Billing Feature in this release. Self Billing is used when you have an agreement with your supplier that you are creating the documents instead of the supplier. This feature allows you to create Self Billing Line Items which will be billed on a respective Self Billing Invoice.
For example, you can have a bi-directional business with one of your suppliers: You render service to them and they to you (think commissions). In this case, you can create one invoice to bill the services rendered by you (debit process), and the Self Billing Invoice to bill the service rendered by your supplier (credit process).
During the implementation of this feature, we have also decided to deprecate our Purchase Items and recommend migration to the (very similar) Line Items. Feel free to read https://docs.nitrobox.io/reference/api-migrations for a quick migration guide.
In the default pdf template, we enabled translation functionality so you can customize your pdf documents to some extent.
We now display more detailed errors for notifications that we were unable to send to your system before. This allows you to spot integration problems quickly.

You can now search for custom properties in the Webportal, making finding a contract, invoice, or customer even easier.
Our plans now support multi-phases! You can configure different prices for different periods in a contract's life. Some examples of what you can do now:
- Configure a free or reduced Trial Phase
- Allow for immediate termination of the contract within the first three months, but after that three month a 12-month lock-in period applies
- After 12 months, offer a free or reduced month to your loyal customers.
You can now update Options that are already in use. For example, this allows you to increase prices on running contracts to keep up with inflation. You can pick the date when the change should be applied and following the next billing period for each contract, the new price will be used.

Both agreed and actual deposits now have their taxes included in the entire system. This allows them to be considered in pdf templates as well as in the accounting if required by local compliance regulations.
It is now possible to close open positions via the OPOS decision, making it easy to deal with small amounts of difference between the owed and received payment.
Option catalog management is now also available via our v2 API. With the Option catalog API, you can easily create Options without having to create a plan for them. This also allows you to reuse the same Option in multiple plans, making their handling a lot simpler. Check out the API: https://docs.nitrobox.io/reference/getallplanoptions_v2

For your deposit invoices you can now configure that all order items will be available on the deposit invoice regardless whether they have a deposit attached or not. This enables you to have an almost identical layout and content as on the closing invoice.
We improved our OPOS feature. You now have a better overview of OPOS on a document level. This includes all associated documents and payments.

It is now possible to create crediting "Options" . Adding those to your plans will allow you to specify predefined rebates, such as crediting 5$ to your 20$ monthly VIP Plan resulting in a 15$ invoice to your customers.
You can now view a record of all sent notifications in the Webportal. This can be found under the Notifications section in Global Configuration. At the bottom of this page you see a list of all Notifications sent by our system to yours. If a Notification failed you can also view additional details by clicking the "Details" Button. From this view you can also resend failed Notifications, like if your service was not available temporarily.
