Version 6.0.15

Release date: 15 May 2026

Overview

This release introduces fixes for dependent field behaviour within Client configuration workflows and enhancements to Post Billing URL handling for accounting system integrations.

Improved

Post Billing URL Enhancements

Tenant Key Handling

Enhanced Post Billing URL handling to support redirect URIs both with and without Tenant Keys included in the URL structure.

Previously, integrations could generate multiple unique URLs where Tenant Keys formed part of the redirect URI, increasing complexity for accounting system integrations and related configuration management.

The system now supports both URL formats, simplifying integration setup and reducing the number of unique redirect URIs required.

Customers can update their configured redirect URI accordingly based on their preferred integration approach.

Resolved

Client Editor Dependency Handling

Invoice Grouping Dependency Fix

Resolved an issue affecting dependent Invoice Grouping behaviour within the Client Editor and Contract Client Identification workflows.

When Invoice Grouping was configured to depend on a grouping selection, the related dependent field under Contracts > Client Identification did not correctly update to reflect the selected grouping value.

Dependent grouping fields now update correctly based on the configured Invoice Grouping selection logic.
