January and February 2026 Monthly Wrap-Up

In January and February, our Product and Engineering Team has delivered powerful new tools to make PurchasePlus faster, smarter, and more flexible.

We’ve introduced a brand-new Workflow Model for Requisitions, experimental Statement Search to simplify reconciliation, and Product Tags to help Purchasers organise and find products more easily. Bulk Print for Purchase Orders, enhanced delivery visibility, and expanded reporting give teams quicker access to the information that matters most.
‍
Read on to learn about the new features that you can use in PurchasePlus.

We've introduced a new model for Requisition Approval Workflows, that is structurally similar to our new Invoice and Credit Note Approval Workflows.

From the moment a Requisition is submitted, users in the first rank of Approvers can review, approve or decline the Requisition. Upon Approval, the document proceeds to Approvers in the next Rank (according to the configured Rank Maximum Values and the Workflow Rank Order), and so on, until it reaches Final Approval, and it can become one or more Purchase Orders that can be sent to your Suppliers.

New Requisition Approval Workflows are designed to be more scalable, configurable, performant, and harmonious with the way the rest of the PurchasePlus platform operates. However, new Requisition Workflows cannot work concurrently (in the same account) with Legacy Requisition Workflows, and a migration project will be required for Purchasers wishing to adopt the new and improved Requisition Approval Workflow model. Please contact your PurchasePlus Account Manager for more information.

There is a new (experimental) Statement Search that allows users to drop in a Statement and find Invoices and Credit Notes that match the Statement. The Statement (i.e. the PDF, CSV, PNG or JPG file you supply) will be scanned, and Invoice or Credit Note Numbers will be extracted and matched to Invoices and Credit Notes found in your PurchasePlus account.

The Statement Search function is found in the [More] menu in the header of the All Invoices table. Please try out this exciting new feature, and share your feedback with us!

There is a new [Tags] area in the Products side-nav area for Purchasers to create Tags. Purchasers can create Tags in the Tags area if they have 'Manage Products' permission.

Additionally, there is a new [Tags] tab when viewing a Product, and Purchasers can tag any product in the world with any Tag they own. Only users at that Purchaser Organisation will see those tags on that Product.

‍There is now a new [Action Items] area in the Paperless Emails side navigation bar. From this area, Purchasers can review problematic Scan Tasks to resolve issues - for example, a scanned Invoice missing a recognised Supplier.

Errors are shown on the POS Batch Sales, and they are placed into an Invalid state for errors to be reviewed and actioned.

- There are new Supplier ID and Supplier Business Number fields in the Info Panel of a Credit Note and Invoice.
