This topic lists new features in Tungsten AP Essentials.
April 20, 2026
New features are deployed to the US, Asia, and Australia on Monday, April 20; and to Europe on Tuesday, April 21.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Email templates |
The document ID variable (%DocumentId%) is now available in all document-related email templates, making it easier to reference the document ID in email notifications. In some templates, %DocumentId% returns the track ID instead of the document ID. This will be corrected in an upcoming update. For details about current behavior and upcoming changes, see "Edit email templates." |
| Validation services | Previously, the VAT rate validation displayed a warning that the VAT rate was a calculated value, even if the calculated value passed validation. The warning is no longer shown for valid calculated values, improving straight-through processing rates. |
| Admin Center | The Admin Center user interface has been improved to provide a more intuitive and efficient experience. |
| NetSuite integration | The NetSuite integration is now certified for NetSuite version 2026.1. |
| Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations integration | The integration now supports Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations version 10.0.47. |

| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Tungsten Copilot services | The Tungsten Copilot service now supports the gpt-5-mini model. If you use the OpenAI service, no action is required. If you use Azure OpenAI service, you must update the deployment and model settings before gpt-4o-mini retires. |
| Office document list view | Administrators can now add supplier and customer master data fields as additional filter columns in the document list view. This enhancement lets Office users filter and find documents using relevant master data criteria that were previously not available as filter options. |

| Coupa AP integration | The integration is now certified for Coupa version R44. |
| Oracle Financials Cloud integration |
The integration now supports filtering suppliers by site purpose during master data synchronization. Filtering reduces unnecessary suppliers and improves supplier recognition. You can now control which purchase order line statuses are synchronized when matching POs in Office. By default, only OPEN and CLOSED FOR RECEIVING lines are synced. Additional PO line statuses can be configured in the Additional PO line statuses setting, ensuring that only relevant and unmatched PO lines are shown during matching. |

New features are deployed to the US, Asia, and Australia on Monday, February 16; and to Europe on Tuesday, February 17.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Advanced extraction engine |
The Advanced extraction engine is now generally available for all customers. The Advanced extraction engine features improved interpretation of noisy images and handwriting and offers an option to use a pre-trained document library to improve first-time extraction. This helps interpret documents from new suppliers more accurately, reducing manual corrections and speeding up automation. |
| VAT rate updates | VAT rates have been updated for Finland, Germany, Lithuania, and Netherlands. Up-to-date VAT rates increase interpretation rates and improve internal validation rules. |
| Indian QR code | The MainHsnCode field of the Indian QR code is now mapped to the MainHSNCode field in Indian document types. |
| ESXML field mapping | ESXML field mappings have been updated with many new fields and improved logic. |

New features are deployed to the US, Asia, and Australia on Monday, January 19; and to Europe on Tuesday, January 20.
Starting March 31, 2026, Tungsten AP Essentials will use new new IP addresses to connect to various target systems. If you restrict access by IP address, you must update your network configuration before this date.
As of March 31, the old IP addresses will no longer be used.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Improved supplier and customer identification | Supplier and customer identification has been improved for suppliers and customers with closely related names and similar details. Previously, identification could be inconsistent when records shared similar names or other key attributes, as is common with hotel chains and large service groups. The system now requires consistent matches across multiple checks before making a selection, reducing errors and the need for manual corrections. |
| Oracle Financials Cloud integration |
The integration now supports exporting original emails to Oracle Financials Cloud. This feature lets you retain the full email context alongside invoice data, which improves traceability and auditability. The new setting, Export original email, is available in the target system settings. The integration now supports data templates for global payables descriptive flexfields in Oracle. Specify the data template in the new Global descriptive flexfield template setting. The integration now includes updated PO master data mappings for the CreatedBy, VatAmount, DeliveryDate1, and DeliveryDate2 fields. A new buyer-specific setting lets you disable Oracle's Pay alone setting for credit memos only, overriding the supplier setting. Standard invoices continue to inherit the pay alone value from the supplier. |
