Configurability of globalization features lets partners and customers do customizations without coding. We continue to extend not only the depth of configurability, by adding new features for import and testing scenarios, but also the breadth of configurability, by configuring features that were previously hard-coded, such as the free text invoice layout. Telemetry for all regulatory features lets us track usage of these features and proactively respond to any issues partners and customers have with these features. New capabilities include:

  • Support for import formats in batch mode and detailed log of errors during import. This feature lets customers automate end-to-end scenarios that involve both sending an electronic file and processing the response, such as for payments.

  • Configuration-specific data for validation. A business user can create test data in Microsoft Excel to fill the Electronic reporting (ER) data model that is defined in business terms, and use this data to validate the correctness of the output format, such as electronic invoices for tax authorities.

  • Configurable free text invoice (FTI) layout example. We provide a fully-configurable ER template that partners and customers can use as a basis for their customized invoices.

  • We track telemetry for all regulatory features, extending the coverage from configurable-only features.
