Release notes

Check our weekly release notes to see information about new and updated features and bug fixes.

First version of our public REST API available at address “/psapublicrest/0.1” will be shut down at the end of 2024 to improve security and performance. To continue using our REST API, switch to the newest version (currently 1.0) before the end of the year.

Currently there is a possibility to add a URL to invoices that can be used to download the invoice as a PDF file.

This feature will be removed from Severa at the end of 2024 due to security reasons:

• Feature uses legacy technology (MS ASPX)
• Encryption is not secure by current standards

The tags (Invoice online URL and Invoice online URL code) will be removed automatically by us.

New and improved
Recurring fees as values to Items report
You now have the possibility to report information related to recurring fees on Items report. We have added six new values to help you view and export data: Recurrence end, Recurrence end date, Recurrence frequency, Recurrence start date, Recurrence times and Start date of invoice row's display period.
Support for customers using same eInvoicing address (Maventa integration)
You now have the possibility to separate organizations that are using same eInvoicing address (for example estate management companies) by adding Organization unit number to Customer settings.
New Procountor integration
The new integration transfers invoices automatically from Severa to Procountor, and saves costs. Otherwise the integration works the same as before. You can take the new integration into use by following our support article. Note that when switching from the old integration to the new one, you need to notify Procountor of the termination of the old integration.
