  • Tungsten e-Invoice Connect external API has been significantly extended with new methods.

  • We have made improvements in user account management: updated requests to create members, update members, load detailed information about members. We have added properties to send invoices, specify payment means, and transfer settings. We also added a group of requests to work with member payment means: now you can create, delete, refresh, and view this information.

  • We created new requests to send invoices: one of them allows you to send the invoice, and the other allows you to get status updates for the sent invoice.

  • The API for members who work with government portals has been significantly improved. Now the methods used to create a member, update a member, and obtain member details have new properties:

    • to enable clearance service provider usage

    • to display the clearance status

    • to display the retrieval status for the specified member in the clearance service provider

    We also introduced new methods to onboard a member in the clearance service provider. One of the methods sends an onboarding request and the other returns the status of this request.

  • You can now use our API to search for recipients in our registry and in Peppol directory.

  • With this release, we added a functionality that allows you to track the number of invoices passed through API for a specified product. The information is organized by members of this product.

  • Tungsten e-Invoice Connect now supports closed networks. With a specific subscription level, a buyer can create their own network and invite the suppliers to join. With this, the supplier no longer has limits on the number of invoices they can send to this buyer per month. The suppliers can send a invoice to the buyer in the closed network with a single button click.

  • We changed the way the reference files are uploaded. Before, a single file could only contain one reference, but now several references in a single file are supported.

  • The API to upload the suppliers no longer limits the size of the request.
