Streamline Vendor Onboarding & Purchase Approvals with ease with our new Approval Workflows!
1. Manage Vendor Leads, Onboarding, and Approvals
If you are dealing with multiple vendors regularly, setting up Approval Workflows can solve a lot of challenges (scattered communications, collaboration bottlenecks, unnecessary back-and-forths, etc). Here's how:
- Capture Vendor Leads: Automatically capture Vendor Leads with Workflow Forms OR Add vendor leads manually (Individually OR in Bulk)

- Set up Approval Workflows:Create custom approval workflows, manage vendor leads across stages, and collaborate with different teammates.

- Verify Vendor PAN & Bank Details in 1-click:Automatically verify PAN & Bank details of your vendors with official records and get aMatch Scorefor quick decision-making.

2. Streamline Purchase Approvals
Managing approvals of large numbers of Purchases & Expenses regularly can be daunting - inconsistent Vendor Invoice formats, missing data, and broken collaboration between multiple stakeholders can make things difficult.
With our new update, you can add every Purchase/Expenditure into dedicated workflows that are custom-made for your business needs.
Different team members can seamlessly collaborate to record purchases, add them to set workflows, make reviews & updates, and take decisions on Approvals or Rejections.
Now you can create, customise, send, and manage RFI (Request for Invoice) links with Refrens!
If you are dealing with multiple vendors and looking to streamline your vendor invoicing process, RFI links can be your saviour.
RFI links allow you to mandate a custom unified invoice format from your vendors, reducing invoicing errors and unnecessary back-and-forths.

Go to Business Settings > Accounting Options > Customised Request for Invoice to get started!
While creating lead capture forms, you can now choose to auto-assign leads based on duplication:

Once enabled, the system will check if the newly generated lead is a duplicate of an existing lead (based on your custom criteria) in the same pipeline.
If yes, the newly generated lead will also be auto-assigned to the same assignee.
Try this today to save time and maintain a clean database!
Just like our
Gmail
and Outlook
integrations, you can now connect your custom email domain via SMTP
to send emails from Refrens!
If you want to upload Batches for multiple items at once, you can do so easily with the new "Bulk Upload Batches" option!
Just add the Batch details in a CSV file, upload it on Refrens, and you are good to go!

Now get better flexibility, improved usability, and deeper insights in the Trial Balance Report with our major new updates!
Here’s what’s new:
- Download Options:Download the report in PDF and Excel formats for easier sharing and analyzing.
- Custom Date Filters:View transactions for specific periods within a financial year and get opening and closing balances for that timeframe, allowing for more tailored financial analysis.
- Hide-Zero Entry Accounts:Hide ledger accounts with no entries for a cleaner look and focused analysis.

If you are no longer using a particular ledger account, you can now archive it by marking it as "Inactive":

These inactive accounts will no longer show up in your Trial Balance and other financial reports in the future, helping you ensure a clear Books of Accounts.
If needed, you can also restore an Inactive Account at any time!
We have two important updates for our Malaysia E-invoicing users:
- Just like Invoices, you can now generate E-invoices for Credit/Debit Notes as well!
- Cancelling E-invoices is also now a breeze! With just a few clicks, you can cancel E-invoices directly from Refrens!
Now you can record Vendor Bank info such as Bank A/c. Number, A/c. Type, IFSC/SWIFT/IBAN code, and more while adding/editing vendor details.
Having this readily available will help you streamline your processes for Payouts and Vendor Verification (Coming soon on Refrens!).

Previously
, when you applied round-off settings in a document, it affected the Item Rate
column as well. Meaning, if you wanted the
Total Amount
to display only two decimal places, your Rate
column also got limited to two decimal places as well.This limited your ability to add rates with higher precision.
With this update,
the Rate
column is exempt from invoice-wide round-offs by default. This means you can now enter item rates with greater precision without worrying about the overall invoice rounding.
For example, in the following invoice, even though the
Amount
column is rounded off to two digits, you can still have more than two decimal points in the Rate
column:
This is, of course, highly configurable.
If you want to apply the Invoice-wide round-off settings to your Rate column as well, you can do that from the "Number/Currency Format" configurations:
