#32 - April
Bilendo release April 2026 with all new features and fixes.
Receivables
Standard View Reminders and Letters
When sending reminders or letters, the PDF tab is now selected by default.
Previously, users had to manually switch to the PDF tab each time when email delivery was selected.
Decoupling of Export Layout Permissions and Data Access Restrictions
Administrators no longer need full data access just to configure export structures. This eliminates an unnecessary dependency in permissions and makes self-service configuration significantly easier.
Users with access to Settings can now view and manage export layouts even when data access restrictions are enabled.
Notification Bell: A new icon in the navigation bar displays unread notifications and a chronological feed.
Central Settings: A new settings page in the user profile replaces the previous notification settings.
Subscribe Buttons: Available on the customer show page, in the customer index, in individual documents, clarifications, and credit limit proposals.
How it works:
Multi-Channel: Choose between in-app notifications (immediate) and email.
Individual Frequency: Email notifications can be set to Immediate, Daily, or Weekly at a specific time.
Intelligent Auto-Subscribe: Users are automatically subscribed to clarifications they create or are assigned to, as well as to customers for whom they create credit limit proposals.
Notification types include:
Risk: Alerts, credit limit decisions, and credit report updates
Collections: Sent reminders/letters, new payment promises, and dunning stop events
Clarifications: New replies, escalations, status changes, and reassignments
Note: This new notification system is currently being rolled out gradually to all customers.
File Name Search in Comments (Enhancement to Notification & Comment Feature)
Search in the comments view now also considers file names of attachments stored in comments. This allows users to search specifically for a file name and find the corresponding file, even if it was shared exclusively within a comment.

Manual PDF Upload for Credit Insurance
We're excited to introduce a new feature: PDF documents can now be manually added to and retrieved from credit insurance!
This allows all decision-relevant documents to be stored centrally in one place – directly with the respective credit insurance.
What problem do we solve?
Previously, official insurer documents (e.g., approvals, limit changes, or cancellations) had to be managed externally. This fragmentation made it difficult for credit managers to quickly access the original evidence of a decision.
The Solution
With the new upload feature, PDF documents can be assigned directly to credit insurance – similar to the already familiar function for credit reports.
How it works:
Navigate: Open the detail view of the desired credit insurance.
Upload: Use the new document upload function (similar to adding a comment) to select and upload your PDF file.
Retrieve: All attached files are immediately visible and directly downloadable for authorized users.
Risk warning when credit insurance is exceeded
From now on, you will receive an immediate notification when a customer's credit insurance is exceeded.
Our new risk warning "Credit insurance exceeded" is automatically triggered as soon as a customer's balance exceeds the amount covered by the credit insurance – enabling immediate intervention.
How it works:
Configure: Navigate to your credit policy settings.
Enable: Add the risk warning "Credit insurance exceeded".
Monitor: Once the threshold is exceeded, the warning appears in your Risk Dashboard.
Displaying Expired Collateral in Risk Management
We have expanded the Risk Management tab to provide more comprehensive historical tracking. Users can now view both active and expired collateral in a structured list – without losing any relevant risk data.
New Sidebar Section "Your Edited Proposals"
We have expanded the Credit Limit Proposals view to better track your personal contributions.
Previously, it was difficult to track the status of credit limit proposals you had edited. Once a proposal was validated or moved forward in the workflow, you often had to manually filter it to see the final result of your work.
The Solution
We have added a new sidebar entry "Your Edited Proposals". This view serves as your personal work overview for open credit limit proposals and displays all proposals you have been involved with in one central location.
Redesigned Sidebar for Attachments
We have restructured the display of attachments and enhanced it with intelligent grouping and sorting functions. This makes it easy to find files by content or creator.
What's new:
Integrated Sidebar:
The "All Attachments" list has been moved directly into the comment section and is now located below the comment input field – for better visibility while working.Flexible Grouping:
A new toggle enables two views:By Category (Default): Groups files by their assigned label
By User: Groups files by the user who uploaded them
Smart Sorting:
Groups (categories / users) are sorted alphabetically
Files within groups are sorted chronologically by date
"No Category" Label:
Attachments without a category are clearly marked with the badge "No Category" and displayed at the end of the list, so structured content remains in focus
Detailed View for Credit Insurance
We have redesigned the credit insurance view and introduced tab-based navigation. This makes all relevant information – from insurance details to legal identification data – available in a single, structured view.
This solution is already available for all our credit insurance providers: Allianz Trade, Atradius & Coface.
Comparison of ERP and External Master Data
We're pleased to introduce the new "Master Data Comparison" feature!
This feature closes the gap between your internal ERP data and data from external credit agencies and insurers, making it possible to identify discrepancies in seconds and verify data quality.
Maintaining high-quality master data is a continuous challenge. Often, information in the ERP system (e.g., company names or addresses) differs from data at credit agencies or insurers.
The Solution
With the new "Compare" function all data sources are consolidated in a single, side-by-side view. Your ERP data remains fixed while you can switch between external providers to see who delivers the most current or accurate information.
What's New:
Side-by-Side Modal:
A new comparison view directly compares your ERP master data (fixed on the left) with data from external providers.Multi-Provider Selection:
With new provider buttons (e.g., Atradius, Allianz Trade, Dun & Bradstreet, etc.) you can switch the external data column immediately without leaving the view.Visual Deviation Highlighting:
Data points that differ from your ERP (e.g., city or street) are highlighted in red so differences are immediately visible.
How It Works:
Navigate to the Master Data section in the customer sidebar or on the Customer Show page.
Click the new "Compare" button next to your ERP data.
In the modal, you can switch between external providers at the top.
Check the red-marked fields to identify potential updates in your system.
