This article describes the new features and other improvements in the November 2024 update of the Zetadocs Expenses service.

Changes in this update

Feature enhancements

Rejection emails sent to previous approvers

If a report or individual expense is rejected, the notification emails are now sent to the previous approvers, as well as the submitting user.

Improved tracking for report exports to file

If an Expenses tenant is set up without ERP integration enabled, the 'save file' option in the status screen can be used as an export option to other 3rd party systems. This save option has now been improved to include timing and user details in the report history.

Resolved an issue whereby in rare circumstances, the Zetadocs Expenses web app can get stuck in a loop with the message 'Application updated - rebuilding database on this device'.
