PurchasePlus maintains a master list of common Allergens, and Purchasers can additionally add their own Allergens if required.

It attempts to automatically suggest the finance coding for a _scanned_ Invoice, based on available Department and Account Code settings, and in ambiguous scenarios (or when no settings are present), it considers how similar Invoices have usually been coded before. ‍[Learn more about auto-coding for Invoices and Credit Notes.](https://learn.purchaseplus.com/articles/introduction-to-the-paperless-invoicing-ai#MatchingDeptsAccountCodes) [![Enable Auto-coding](/images/screenshot-2026-04-08-at-13-29-41.avif)](/images/screenshot-2026-04-08-at-13-29-41.avif) Above: Enabling the Auto-coding feature in the Organisation Settings area. **Reporting Enhancements** \- There is a new Invoice and Purchasers Orders Report available to all Purchasers (previously known as Accruals Report in Legacy P+). \- There is a new **Category** field on a Report allowing Purchasing Users to filter by Category. \- There is a new **Description** field on a Report allowing Users to view a description of the Report. \- There is a new **Data Availability** field on a Report allowing Users to know if the Report data is "Real Time" or "Delayed".
