New Features

  • Vehicle Lookup - When adding a vehicle, users can now automatically populate the vehicle details by entering the registration number, making the process of adding vehicle details as effortless as possible. This will also be particularly useful if you manage vehicles on behalf of your claimants, saving time and providing accuracy.

    This service will be available as standard Expenses functionality and will incur no charge for using it. Enjoy!


  • Vehicle Check - A brand new service for customers who have Duty of Care enabled which allows you to automatically populate a vehicle's MOT and Tax documentation, saving your claimants, approvers and administrators a significant amount of time and effort.

    A new general option has been added which will enable the automatic document lookup if Tax/MOT have been set as required documents.

Enhancements

  • When adding a driving licence, we now only require the last 8 characters of the licence number (excluding the issue number).


    Note: Driver and Vehicle Check users will still be required to enter their full 16 digit licence number to provide consent for automatic lookups, but Expenses will only store and display the last 8 digits that we require.

  • As part of the improvements for GDPR, new records will be added to the Audit Log when information is retrieved from the following areas of Expenses using the API:

    • Addresses
    • My Holidays
    • Advances
    • Check and Pay (Claim & Expense Items)
    • Claim Viewer (Claim & Expense Items)
    • Expense Item from a claim
    • Credit Card statements from a claim (as a delegate)
    • Credit Card statements

  • You can now specify whether the data stored in a User Defined Field should be encrypted. This option is available for all text-based UDF types ('Text' and 'Large Text'). This allows you to add an extra layer of security to any personally identifiable data which may be entered.
