What's new at Payhawk

Card transactions can now be split into multiple transactions with different suppliers and exported to NetSuite, eliminating the previous requirement for manual splitting within NetSuite.

Key Benefits

• Pay multiple suppliers by card simultaneously and export as separate bills, bill payments, or journal entries
• Save time, reduce manual work, and prevent errors typically associated with manual splitting in NetSuite
• Reconcile bills and bill payments significantly easier

When connected to Datev DUO, Payhawk customers can now choose to export expenses as ‘paid’ or ‘unpaid’.

Key benefits:

• Circumvent Datev's inability to update expense status to 'paid' post-export

We’ve added a powerful enhancement to your approval workflows! You can now set workflow conditions based on Supplier, giving you more pro-active control over approvals.

• Prevent supplier-less POs by adding Supplier field "is empty" as a condition to your workflow, ensuring supplier onboarding by the finance team when needed.
• Customize approval flows based on specific suppliers. For example, you can reduce unnecessary approvals for frequent commuting allowance suppliers (e.g., Uber) while requiring extra approvals for new suppliers.
• Use new operators "is empty" and "is not empty" also on conditions by Team, Customer Fields and Category.

🚨 Note: Supplier conditions are not available on Multi Entity level yet.

Group Admins can now determine whether approvers can assign substitutes from other entities within the group, or have them restricted to the same entity.

What's new?

Admins now have access to a new toggle in the Group dashboard. When enabled, this feature allows approvers to assign substitutes from other entities within the group during their Out of Office periods.

Key benefits:

• Enhanced Security: The new toggle ensures greater control by allowing admins to decide whether approvers can assign substitutes from other entities within the group.
• Customizable Setup: By default, the toggle is off, giving admins the flexibility to enable cross-entity substitutes only when necessary, catering to specific edge cases.
• Admin Oversight: Group admins retain full access to set substitutes across entities, ensuring seamless management regardless of the toggle’s status.
