• Tiered Volume Discounts (TVD) 2.0  
  • Added a new “Recalculate Total Spend” option for users to employ on the vendor discounts listing page.  

  • Users can now delete tiers within a vendor discount structure; this is in case there are too many tiers added or the tier structure changes and the user does not want to set up a new discount.  

  • On the vendor discount listing page, users now have an option to “Clone” a vendor’s TVD structure; this is especially helpful for vendor discount structures that stay the same from one year to another (with only the start/end dates and perhaps the tier percentages changing).   

  • Onit’s Customer Success and Vendor Services teams can now bulk upload TVD structures using Excel.

  • Support users can now download the TVD template (before uploading anything) on the upload screen for bulk TVDs.

• Multiple adjustments can be removed or applied in bulk – even for differing reasons – for line-item and invoice-level adjustments.  

• After resubmitting matter-level timekeeper Billing Authorization requests, new changes to the requests (newly added timekeepers or rates for pre-approved timekeepers with newly submitted rates) are now highlighted in blue. This enables matter managers to focus solely on the changes made rather than reviewing the entire request. Items stay highlighted while the Billing Authorization request is pending approval. 

• If available, the custom staff class shows up on all versions and phases of a Billing Authorization request.  

• Included additional approval information (date/timestamp, final approval date) as options on the invoice PDF.

  • Added in a condition to print “Note: You are in the max tier for this discount” when the max tier for the vendor is applied on an invoice.  

  • If a tiered-volume discount is incorrectly entered into the system (not matching the system-calculated discount), the user-entered value can be automatically adjusted per client request.  

  • Added an additional “Invoice Total” option for calculating Tiered Volume Discounts (TVDs), with the optional setting to include taxes.  

  • Vendor records are now aware if the vendor has TVDs set up or not.

• When the Accrual Cadence is set to “none” in the Accrual Settings, the default value for Require Accruals for Matter goes to “No” on VATM launch, overriding the vendor accrual checkbox setting.  

• For clarification: a banner message was added to the Vendor Assignment to Matter (VATM) page saying, “Accruals actively being collected or reviewed are not displayed here” when there is an active accrual process.  

• Budget names within the VATM screen now include more information to help differentiate between internal and external budgets; budget notifications now display the correct budget name; the matter name reflects correctly on the budget record name; budget histories now display the correct budget record name. 

• Users can now navigate back to the applicable VATM screen from the Budget application screen. 

• Validation added to restrict changes to budget reforecast settings if there are active reforecast requests.

• Negative values are no longer able to be added in allocation; total allocations can no longer equal over 100%. 

• To fix mismatches on the Billing Authorization records during the Vendor Authorization to Matter (VATM) process, a condition was added to the sequence so that when a VATM record is reopened, only the most recent Billing Authorization request with a matching currency is reopened and the old Billing Authorization request is left as “Closed.”  

• When a second invoice exceeding a Fixed/Hourly Capped Fee is submitted after one invoice has already exceeded the Fixed Fee, the amount on the message on the first invoice exceeding the fee now updates properly.
