This topic describes the features introduced in this Tungsten e-Invoice Connect update.

April 25, 2026

Feature/Enhancement Description
Country-specific enhancements: Poland

Continuous Transaction Controls (CTC) update

From February 1, 2026, suppliers in Poland with a turnover higher than 200 million PLN are required to clear their invoices through the Polish Government (KSeF) platform. All buyers are required to be able to receive invoices.

From April 1, 2026, all other established suppliers are required to clear their invoices through KSeF, except micro-enterprises who must comply starting January 1, 2027. Business-to-consumer (B2C) or flat-rate farmer invoices are voluntary and can be submitted to KSeF after April 1, 2026.

Country-specific enhancements: France

Ahead of the forthcoming changes in France, customer accounts can have a hierarchical structure where a main organization is identified by a unique SIREN number, and its multiple child establishments are identified by unique SIRET numbers. To fully support this hierarchy, two additional identifier types have been introduced: CTC Routing Code and CTC Suffix. The identifiers follow this pattern:

Identifier Format
SIREN 9 numeric digits
SIRET SIREN_SIRENXXXX
CTC Routing Code SIREN_SIRENXXXX_routingcode
CTC Suffix SIREN_suffix

Both new identifiers are available in:

  • Address creation and editing forms under Identifier Type
  • Member settings

The following validation rules apply:

  • The SIREN segment must be exactly 9 numeric digits

  • The SIRET segment must match the parent SIREN and be exactly 14 digits.

  • The routing code segment is alphanumeric free text. White spaces are not allowed.

  • The suffix segment is alphanumeric free text. White spaces are not allowed.

  • The total identifier length must not exceed 100 characters.

The new identifiers are not available on the member registration page. Only SIREN and TVA are shown as mandatory fields during member registration, where TVA represents the French VAT (Tax) number.

Invoice reconciliation export (Excel)

You can export and receive invoice reconciliation reports in Excel format. Two separate reports are available for both AP and AR flows:

  • AP report—received invoices

  • AR report—sent invoices

Each report includes key fields (for example, member ID, sender/recipient ID, VAT IDs, and invoice number) and clearance details (clearance number and clearance date) where applicable.

You can generate and download the report on demand directly from the Sent/Received Invoices list by selecting Export to Excel. You can apply available filters before exporting.

Feature/Enhancement Description
Support for multiple API keys

Members can now create and manage multiple API keys in parallel under a single account. Previously, each account was limited to one API key at a time.

Each key can expire independently and any non-expired key can be used for API authorization. This enables members to connect multiple source systems - such as ERP systems or billing platforms - to a single account, each using a separate key.

For more information, refer to: Allow access via API.

Self-billing invoices submitted via file integration

Enables processing of self-billing invoices submitted via file integration. Both API and file integration are now supported as submission methods for self-billing invoices.

Feature/Enhancement Description
Poland: Supported classification codes The following new codes are supported:
  • PKWiUZ (Polska Klasyfikacja Wyrobów i Usług)
  • PKOB (Polska Klasyfikacja Obiektów Budowlanych)
Poland: Updated internal e-Invoice Connect format mapping The mapping rule that converts ESXML2 intermediate format into the Poland-specific output format required for KSeF submission is updated.
Increased precision for invoice allowance and charge amounts The maximum precision for allowance and charge amount values has been increased from 15,3 to 30,18 digits. This change accommodates invoices where these values require a higher degree of decimal precision, preventing validation errors during invoice processing.
Increased maximum length for invoice attachment reference URLs The data type of the external reference URL field in invoice attachments has been changed to TEXT, removing the previous 255-character limit.
Increased maximum length for invoice attachment document type The data type of the external reference document type field in invoice attachments has been changed to TEXT, removing the previous 255-character limit.
Increased maximum length for invoice order number The data type of the order number field has been changed to TEXT, removing the previous 255-character limit.
Increased maximum length for invoice project reference The data type of the project reference field has been changed to TEXT, removing the previous 50-character limit. Previously, values exceeding this limit were silently truncated during import, resulting in data loss without any error or warning. Project reference values of any length are stored in full.
Increased maximum length for invoice buyer order number The data type of the buyer order number field has been changed to TEXT, removing the previous 255-character limit. Previously, values exceeding this limit were silently truncated during import, resulting in data loss without any error or warning. Buyer order number values of any length are stored in full.
Increased maximum length for invoice line additional attribute value The data type of the additional item attribute value field on invoice lines has been changed to TEXT, removing the previous 255-character limit. Invoices originating from Peppol that contained an attribute value exceeding this limit previously failed during processing and are handled correctly.

Feature/Enhancement Description
API enhancement for members

You can send invoices via API in addition to the previously available receiving functionality. Paid subscription members can use API endpoints to look up recipients and send invoices in ESXML format.

For additional information on how to enable API usage for a specific member, refer to the following topic in the Help for member administrator: Allow access via API.

Customer-controlled Peppol buyer endpoint You can participate in the Peppol network as an invoice recipient and publicly share user information in the Peppol network via API. These features were previously available only in e-Invoice Connect UI. For more information, refer to the receiveFromPeppol and externalRegistriesConsent parameters in the Create a member and Update a member API documentation sections.
Enhanced invoice status visibility

  • APIs related to invoice status now have new fields that correspond to Tungsten e-Invoice Network status data and Peppol response messages (MLR/BLR).

  • Incoming status messages are matched to the corresponding invoices. These messages are available in the received invoice list for buyers and sent invoice list for suppliers. Tungsten e-Invoice Network also receives updates.

  • Invoice status updates can be extended with flexible metadata. This allows you to add custom information to the sent invoices.

  • We have deprecated the onboardMemberWithClearanceServiceProvider API endpoint. The new services endpoint provides more flexible service management.

Denmark: Peppol invoice response messages

Outbound MLR responses for buyers in Denmark are enabled.

Poland: Clearance services enhancements

The following new invoice types are introduced: COR, PLZAL, PLROZ, PLKOR_ZAL, and PLKOR_ROZ.

Self-billing for Peppol and KSeF

Buyers can issue invoices on behalf of suppliers. For more information on enabling self-billed invoices, refer to the following topic: Use e-Invoice Connect.

Italy: CTC codes improvements

More information about the invoice status is provided after the supplier submits the invoice for clearance. You can retrieve this information via API or view it in the UI.

Italy: Clearance for cross-border invoices

You can send cross-border invoices for clearance if the supplier is onboarded and subscribed for clearance.

China solution enhancements

  • You can export fapiao reports in Excel format.

  • Additional manual input options are introduced that extend the existing input of fapiao QR code data.

Security enhancements

Tungsten Automation Automation is committed to maintaining the highest levels of software security. To safeguard our applications and protect customer data, security enhancements are applied in every product release.

June 28, 2025

Feature/Enhancement Description
Automated handling of electronic invoices (fapiao) in PRC

Automated handling of electronic invoices (fapiao) in China is provided by integrating with the government system using QR-coded PDFs. The key features of this update are:

  • Automatic data extraction from invoice QR codes

  • Admin-only member registration

  • Dedicated page to track invoice status and manage data

Delete data securely You can use automatic rules to delete invoices (10-year retention) and members (5-year inactivity). You can also schedule background jobs for regular removal and use the new admin UI to view logs, trigger jobs, and generate Excel reports. For more information, refer to the following topic: Invoice retention settings
Extended support for Italian invoice reporting Support for reporting Italian invoices to the SDI system is extended. Reported invoices can be delivered to a recipient if it is stated in the invoice payload. You can track detailed status through logs and UI indicators. Both supplier and buyer initiated reporting are available. New invoice types specific to SDI are now supported for electronically processed invoices submitted via API or business integration.
PINT A-NZ support The latest Peppol international format standard for Australia and New Zealand is supported. For more information about supported formats, refer to the following topic: List of supported e-Invoice Connect formats.
Hierarchy management improvements It is easier for administrators to manage organizational groups and members. Administrators can manage all subgroup levels, add members to multiple groups with different roles (sending/receiving invoices), bulk edit member settings across groups, and upload Excel files to add many members at once. For more information, refer to the following topic: Configure business group.

December 14, 2024

  • 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, and 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: 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. 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 use our API to search for recipients in our registry and in the 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 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 an 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.

November 1, 2024

  • The name of the product changed from Invoice Portal to Tungsten e-Invoice Connect in November 2024.

  • Invoice Portal supports the Belgian B2G Peppol-based e-invoicing mandate. The following party identifiers are accepted: BE:EN and BE:VAT.

  • Invoice Portal allows using the Peppol directory to search for invoice recipients.

  • Invoice Portal is capable of tracking invoice volume by country. Contact e-Invoice Connect Administrator to obtain the corresponding reports if required.

  • We introduced substitution of supplier and buyer endpoint IDs. This is useful when an organization has multiple entities under one umbrella and you want to send all invoices to one entity (for example, the main office).

  • We improved notification functionality. You can specify how you want to be notified about inbound and outbound rejected invoices. You can set it up in the user settings page.

  • We improved error messaging. You can see a notification message in Invoice Portal that includes a description of the issue and a link to the corresponding invoice.
