Release 26 Application Enhancements

A/R Visibility: New Invoice + Receipt Reporting
Release 26 adds a new report that consolidates invoice details with associated receipts to support easier verification and audit review.

Voucher Match Accuracy for Foreign Amounts
A new tolerance-checking option improves voucher match accuracy in multi-currency scenarios, helping reduce inconsistencies with foreign amounts.

Sales Order Print Improvements (R42565)
Enhancements support additional real-world print scenarios, including printing held orders or reprinting invoices for partially shipped orders on hold, reducing manual workarounds.

Purchase Order Approval Delegation (New Program)
A long-requested capability is here: users can temporarily delegate PO approval authority to another approver during absences, reducing workflow bottlenecks.

PO Approval Mobile App Uplift
Oracle updated the PO Approval mobile app to align with current Visual Builder requirements for improved flexibility across devices.

Digital + UX Enhancements Worth Knowing

Form Extensions Now Work on PowerEdit Forms
You can now apply form extensions to PowerEdit forms, opening more opportunities to streamline complex screens and tailor user experiences.

Conditional Launching for Orchestrations, Notifications & Logic Extensions
A standout enhancement: form extensions can now conditionally launch orchestrations, notifications, or logic extensions only when defined criteria are met. Think of it as a smart “gatekeeper” that helps reduce unnecessary processing and keeps automation aligned with business rules.

Page Composer Widget Inputs (More Flexible User Entry)
Widgets continue to improve with expanded user input capabilities, including inline options that let users update inputs directly on the page without extra clicks.

Notifications on Tiles and Connectors
In addition to watchlist badges, tiles and connectors can now be configured with notifications, making it easier to surface what needs attention (and trigger actions) right from the page.

Orchestrator Studio Enhancements

Better Debugging for Form Requests
Debugging now shows which form inside a multi-form request caused an error—making it faster to pinpoint issues and fix them.

Debugging Support for File Inputs
Orchestrations that use file inputs can now be tested more effectively within debug.

Report Request Variables for Output Options
Report requests now support variables for output options, giving orchestrations more runtime flexibility when running UBEs.
