Release notes 2024

Release notes for 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.

Bug fixes
Improved reporting for recurring fees
You now have the possibility to report detailed information about recurring fees on Items report. We have added six new values to help you report recurring fees: Recurrence end, Recurrence end date, Recurrence frequency, Recurrence start date, Recurrence times and Start date of invoice row's display period.
Same einvoice address for multiple customers (Maventa integration)
You now have the possibility to identify customers using the same einvoice address (for example housing companies) by adding Organization unit number to customer settings.
Renewed Procountor integration
The renewed 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 easily by following our instructions. Note that when switching from the old integration to the new one, you need to terminate the old integration by contacting Procountor.
