Release Notes 197
Improved Invoice Lines Grouping
For Vendors that use the platform billing engine as an invoice data source, invoice grouping is now more efficient when the Pay in Advance setting is turned off. Previously, using options like "Ignore quantity decrease" caused invoice lines to be split on the date of the change. With this update, invoice lines will now be grouped into a single line with setting show details being disabled.

Extended Invoice Lines Grouping
The logic for invoice grouping has also been extended to better support Microsoft Offers that include both telecommunication and non-telecommunication components (eg, Microsoft 365 E5 suite). The total of such subscriptions will combine the charges from both line items, and the invoice quantity will display the actual licensed quantity regardless of the “Show Details" setting in the invoices section.
This update also applies to invoice validation for AvePoint and Adobe and ensures more accurate quantity representation on final invoices. When multiple parsed lines share the same charge start and end dates but have different quantities, the resulting invoice line will now show Quantity = 1. If those parsed lines have the same quantity, the invoice line will reflect that exact quantity.

Expanded Reporting API with Payment Terms
The Reporting API has been extended to include detailed Payment Terms information across invoices and organizations. Payment term data such as payment method, terms in days, and effective dates, is now available in the Invoice Consolidations and Invoice Headers (v1 and v2) APIs, providing greater clarity and control over billing timelines. Additionally, a new Payment Terms API enables users to retrieve and filter terms by tenant, organization, date range, and status, offering a complete view of payment agreements across the reseller and partner network.

Improved Vendor Search in Custom Invoices
The Custom Invoice creation experience has been improved by enabling full search by vendor name in the vendor selection field. The vendor list is now sorted in alphabetical order, and users can search by typing any part of the vendor name. Additionally, the Invoice Receiver list has also been sorted alphabetically for a more consistent and user-friendly experience.

New API Endpoints for Microsoft Synchronization
Two new API endpoints are now available to provide on-demand synchronization capabilities for Microsoft data:
- Synchronize MS Customer: Enables synchronization of a single Microsoft customer's data
- Synchronize MS Subscriptions: Enables synchronization of all subscriptions under a Microsoft customer
These self-service endpoints can be executed as needed to ensure platform data remains current. This enhancement addresses synchronization issues that occurred following Microsoft's introduction of new Partner Center webhooks.
APIs: Synchronize MS Customer, Synchronize MS Subscriptions
