What’s new in 2026 R2?

AI account suggestion

Process invoices faster by letting your AI model pick the right accounts for you. When recognizing a purchase invoice, AI automatically suggests the correct G/L Account, Item, Item Charge, or other account types by learning from your historical data and the recognized header and line details, keeping account coding consistent across documents.

Auto-assign document status codes

Save time on manual follow-up by automatically assigning a status code to a document. When a predefined comment is triggered — like “Vendor bank account no. is not correct” — the document is automatically set to a status like Needs Review. Once assigned, just sort the journal by status to find what requires attention.

Enhanced item tracking capture

Automatically capture multiple tracking values per item line — like Lot No., Serial No., and Expiration Date — so a line of 3 pieces can capture 3 serial numbers. Tracking data also carries over when a purchase invoice is matched to an order, saving time and keeping your purchase documents consistent.

Simpler eDocuments onboarding

Get up and running faster with a simpler onboarding experience. A new assisted setup guide walks you through Continia Delivery Network registration step by step, taking the technical weight off the process and making it much smoother.

eDocuments support for French e-Invoicing

Meet France's e-invoicing mandate and its CTC model with Continia eDocuments. With Continia acting as your state-certified platform (plateforme agréée), you exchange the required formats through the Continia Delivery Network — and French eReporting is covered too.

Expense Agent

Get an AI agent that handles your expenses for you. From logging individual expenses to completing full Expense Reports, it gets the work done in a fraction of the time—so all that’s left is a quick check before you submit. Available in the Continia Expense Portal and Expense App.

AI-assisted G/L account mapping

Set up expense types faster with AI. Get match suggestions to existing G/L accounts, so all that’s left to do is simply review, adjust, and confirm the suggested mappings.

A refreshed Expense Portal and Expense App

Enjoy a smoother experience in the Continia Expense Portal and Expense Mobile App. With modernized interfaces and more intuitive navigation, Expense users can easily find what they need to manage their expenses.

Improved onboarding experience

Get up and running faster with a simpler onboarding experience. New Expense users can find their way around the features and complete initial setup more easily, with clearer guidance and more intuitive steps.

Access expense attachments across Business Central

Keep your supporting documentation close at hand across Business Central. Open expense attachments directly from posted documents and their ledger entries — including purchase invoices and general, vendor, employee, and project ledger entries.

Precise variant management

Get control over exactly which message variant gets used, without maintaining a near-copy of your template for every combination. A template line can now match on multiple criteria, like location, dimensions, and field values. When a document is sent, the line matching most criteria wins. Priority breaks ties, and a line with no criteria acts as your fallback.

Auto-send on posting

Get paid faster by sending posted sales and service invoices and credit memos to each customer the moment they're posted. Simply enable it on a customer, and documents are sent automatically according to their output settings. Failed sends are logged in the error cue, so nothing slips through.

Simpler eDocuments onboarding

Get up and running faster with a simpler onboarding experience. A new assisted setup guide walks you through Continia Delivery Network registration step by step, taking the technical weight off the process and making it much smoother.

Log storage in Azure blob for eDocuments

Keep your Business Central database lean by archiving eDocuments files to Azure Blob Storage. In high-volume environments, storing every blob file in the database drives up its size and your storage costs — offloading them to Azure keeps it smaller and cheaper to run.

eDocuments support for French e-invoicing

Meet France's e-invoicing mandate and its CTC model with Continia eDocuments. With Continia acting as your state-certified platform (plateforme agréée), you exchange the required formats through the Continia Delivery Network — and French eReporting is covered too.

Invoice response for eDocuments

Catch rejections early. When a recipient accepts or rejects an e-invoice sent via the Continia Delivery Network, the status updates automatically. Anything needing follow-up appears in the new eDocuments Requiring Attention Cue.

Merge rules

Combine multiple bank transactions into a single transaction with merge rules — reducing manual reconciliation. It's especially useful when your bank statement contains multiple transactions, like credit card transfers, that you need to match to a single entry on the bank.

Automatic proposal application

Spend less time on reconciliation by choosing how and when payment proposals are to be applied — even when the amounts don’t match exactly. E.g., if a payment reference rule identifies a proposal set to allow partial application, it's applied automatically.

Reminder & finance charge payment matching

Automatically match payments made against reminders and finance charge memos. The reminder or memo number in the bank transaction description is used to find the related customer ledger entries and suggest a match during reconciliation.

Assign document numbers to journal lines

Keep a clear audit trail by assigning a document number to each journal line in the Payment Reconciliation Journal, drawn from a number series set up on the bank account. That number carries through to every posted entry, so you can trace any entry back to its source.

Enhanced payment allocations

Get more control and flexibility from payment allocation. Building on the existing setup, predefined rules now cover a broader range of scenarios, so you can split payments across multiple accounts automatically and consistently — staying in control of cash flow while meeting VAT and net separation requirements.
