Release 2022-06-13
- Plans can now be created without Options attached to them. This allows business models that don't have any predefined charges but should still be billed according to the billing terms as defined in the Plan. You can create a Plan with billing at the end of every month, then create your contracts, and add products or services to them via additional 'PurchaseItems' which are then billed at the end of each month.
- Added a feature that "enforces" the billing of contracts at the start or end of synced billing terms. Currently a contract would first be billed on the contract start date - with the new feature you can "force" it to be created on the first of the month instead. This can reduce the number of invoices your customers receive, as it ensures that all contracts are billed at the first of each month. This does not work if the billing interval has already started. In this case the contract would be billed immediately.
- Fixed several bugs
Release 2022-06-02
- In order to correctly bill multi purpose voucher you can now send "postTaxItems" along with your purchase items - indicating a reduction in the 'amountDue' of the item. This reduction however does affect the tax amount you need to provide to your tax authority.
- 'ItemExtras' and 'PostTaxItemsExtras' can now be viewed in the webportal.
- Fixed a bug where not all 'BillableItems' of a contract were created that has:
-> billing at the end of the billing period
-> without being synced to full months
-> and the contract was created with a start date several months in the past.
Release 2022-05-16
- Various performance improvements that speed up the use of the Webportal for large amount of data. You should see a noticeable increase in speed when fetching Documents for example.
Release 2022-05-09
-
We’ve released the first version of language translations for our document PDFs! This now allows users to manage multiple languages themselves, without having to request a change from their CSM. It does not allow for changes in the design of the template but instead what terms can be used in different languages, for example, if it could be called "creditnote" or "creditmemo".
-
Users can now easily navigate from Customer Details to the associated debtor account, to find any necessary of debtor bookings.
-
Users can now create or delete new API keys themselves via the webportal for the Client Credential flow using keycloak. See also https://docs.nitrobox.io/reference/authentication on how to authenticate against our application. (Note for those using the non keycloak auth at this time: The keycloak token url is different from the one currently used).

-
Remedied CVE-2022-22965 vulnerability to protect client data.
-
To reduce the chance that manual creation of booking entries leads to duplication, we improved the confirmation notification (there is now a green "success" in the top right plus the list of booking entries being cleared on the successful creation of the booking entries).
-
Foreign Exchange rates used to evaluate foreign currency positions in the accounting can now be delivered to the Nbx system via API instead of using the integrated rates provided by fixer. This allows tenants to use the same FX rates that are also used in other systems to ensure greater consistency. The fx rates used on each day can now also be viewed in the Webportal under Configuration -> Global -> Exchange rates. {enter also link to API doc after live deployment)
-
When evaluating new accounting positions we now use the latest available rates for the given currency instead of depending on the rate on the booking date. This leads to the evaluated positions to better reflect their current value in the functional currency.
-
To find which Billing Group holds the overall default Business Segment used more easily, we added the default flag on the Billing Groups view.
Release 2022-04-04

-
Removed duplicate entry of the NBX attachment endpoints in the NBX API documentation.
-
We now offer a "NBX cloud storage" solution to archive documents with us instead of using our certified 3rd party archiving provider. While the NBX cloud storage does not fulfill standard legal requirements so it is strongly recommended to use our partner to securely store your documents. If you have your own archiving solutions however this new storage will allow some limited storage at nbx while you transfer the documents to your system. This solution also offers an easy entry point for starting out and testing out product! If you are interested in this solution feel free to reach out!
