Document Output: the future of accounts receivable communication

You’ve come this far - why stop at AP automation? 

For years, teams have focused on optimizing accounts payable. With Document Capture, thousands of companies have won the battle against manual AP, automating how incoming documents are received, processed, and validated.  

But the journey doesn’t end there

Now it’s time to apply that same level of automation to your accounts receivable by taking control of your outbound communication with Document Output

A major leap forward in 2026 R1 

E-invoicing is changing fast. New regulations and growing complexity are reshaping how businesses exchange documents. To meet these demands, the way electronic documents are handled in Continia has evolved. With the latest release, Document Output takes a central role in how businesses send and manage electronic documents. 

With 2026 R1, we’ve rebuilt the underlying engine, creating a unified framework for e-document communication and moving the sales eBilling flow into Document Output. By 2026 R2, we aim to have the entire AR document distribution flow centralized in Document Output.  

Changes with 2026 R1 

Built on a stronger foundation

Document Output and Document Capture now share a unified eDocuments framework behind the scenes. While it doesn’t change how you work day to day, it ensures your solution stays ready for evolving compliance requirements, new formats, and future innovations. 

Automatic installation 

Document Output is now installed alongside Document Capture—so it’s ready when you are. Activate it when you're ready and start automating your outbound communication without additional setup. 

Simplify how you send documents

The new sender profile brings everything you need to send electronic documents into one place. Instead of managing multiple settings, you define it once and apply it across customer and vendor cards (DC), or output profiles (DO)—making setup easier and more consistent.  

A cleaner, more intuitive way to work

Control which actions are visible on your document page, helping you reduce clutter, improve navigation, and quickly access the Document Output tools you need to manage and send documents efficiently. 

Automate every touchpoint 

While e-invoicing might be driving change right now, your finance team does so much more than send XML files. Document Output goes beyond compliance by giving you full control over how documents like sales invoices, credit notes, reminders, and statements are formatted and delivered. 

Whether you’re sending PDFs, printed documents, or e-invoices, everything is handled automatically based on the rules you define. With Document Output, your entire AR communication is streamlined, ensuring every touchpoint with your customer is professional, automated, and compliant.
