We’ve overhauled the side navigation with dedicated areas for Paperless Emails and Credit Notes. Credit Notes now support full Approval Workflows, and the former “Flagged” invoice state has been renamed to “Awaiting Approval” for greater clarity. We’re also introducing a new Budgets side-nav area (available for our customers with a Budget subscription), along with a Product Price Update Audit Log to give buyers and suppliers greater visibility into pricing changes over time. Read on to learn about the new features that you can use in [PurchasePlus](/).

The Paperless Emails area is made up of two sub-areas: ‍ \- **\[View All\]** Paperless Emails, where you can view each email sent by your Suppliers to your dedicated Paperless Invoicing Email Address. This includes emails that our system automatically 'filters out' - i.e. does not use to create Invoices or Credit Notes - like statements, marketing content, and duplicate documents. ‍ ‍- [**\[Scanning Tasks\]**](https://learn.purchaseplus.com/articles/introduction-to-paperless-emails#ScanTaskDefn), which are a half-way point between your Supplier's email (including any PDF attachment) and the resulting Invoice or Credit Note in our system. [![View a Paperless Email](/images/view-a-paperless-email-1.avif)](/images/view-a-paperless-email-1.avif) Above: Viewing an email that a Supplier sent to the Paperless Email Address. **‘Flagged’ Invoice Status Renamed to ‘Awaiting Approval’** The state of **‘Flagged’** for an Invoice or Credit Note has been renamed to **‘Awaiting Approval’**. If the Invoice _has_ one or more [Flags](https://learn.purchaseplus.com/articles/invoice-flags-explained) after being created and/or processed against your Flags and [Flag Thresholds](https://learn.purchaseplus.com/articles/invoice-thresholds-explained), it will be in the ‘Awaiting Approval’ state. [![Invoice Flags tab showing Awaiting Approval status and unmatched PO alerts](/images/invoice-awaiting-approval.avif)](/images/invoice-awaiting-approval.avif) Above: An Invoice that has Flags and is therefore in the Awaiting Approval state. **Credit Note Approval Workflows** Credit Note Approval Workflows can now be created and used for Credit Notes. [Learn more about Invoice and Credit Note Approval Workflows.](https://learn.purchaseplus.com/articles/invoice-and-credit-note-approval-workflows) [![Credit Note Approval Workflows](/images/cn-approval-workflows.avif)](/images/cn-approval-workflows.avif) Above: Credit Notes that are Awaiting Approval due to an Approval Workflow in place. **Budgets Module** There is now a new **\[Budgets\]** module available for Purchasers with a Budget subscription, accessed via the side navigation bar. A 'Budget' in PurchasePlus is a spending limit, set by permitted users, and applied to an area of their business for a specific period of time. Budgets are made up of: \- A Year and Month that the Budget applies to, \- An Organisation Unit (Department) and Account Code that the Budget applies to, and \- A Budget Amount (exclusive of tax) that applies to the Budget. [![View a Single Budget](/images/view-single-budget.avif)](/images/view-single-budget.avif) Above: Viewing a Budget. When a [Requisition](https://learn.purchaseplus.com/articles/introduction-to-requisitions) is raised by a Purchaser, the Budget Amount is consumed when all of the following conditions are met: a) the Requisition's Delivery Date falls in the Budget's Year/Month, AND b) the Requisition is expensed to the Budget's Organisational Unit and Account Code, AND c) the Requisition is Approved. Budgets in PurchasePlus do **not** prevent users from raising or submitting Requisitions (even if the Requisition will mean the relevant Budget is exceeded), but all of the Requisition's Approvers are made aware that their Requisition will exceed the Budget before it becomes a [Purchase Order](https://learn.purchaseplus.com/articles/introduction-to-purchase-orders?hsLang=en). ‍[Learn more about the Budgets Module](https://learn.purchaseplus.com/articles/introduction-to-budgets). **Product Price Update Audit Log** We have added a "View Audit Log" option in the more menu of a Product in a [Catalog](https://learn.purchaseplus.com/articles/introduction-to-catalogs) to show price changes on that product over time. At present, this Audit Log will only list _some_ price changes on that product over time (e.g. changes made via Catalog Imports or via API update will not yet be reflected here). [![Product Price Update Audit Log](/images/product-price-update-audit-log.avif)](/images/product-price-update-audit-log.avif) Above: The audit log listing changes to a Product's Price in a Catalog. **Other Enhancements** \- There is now a Paperless Email and Process Document field in the Info Panel of an Invoice header for easier tracking of the Invoice's origin. \- The _Is Default_ option on an AP System's Custom Codes is now available and fully supported. \- The [My Suppliers](https://learn.purchaseplus.com/articles/view-and-manage-suppliers#ViewingMySuppliers) area for a Purchaser can now be advanced searched by Business Number and by Supplier Number: [![My Suppliers advanced search by supplier and business number](/images/advanced-search-for-my-suppliers.avif)](/images/advanced-search-for-my-suppliers.avif) Above: Advanced Searching My Suppliers as a Purchaser.
