DTSApps Update – Invoice Payments Enhancements

The July update to DTSApps includes improvements to the Invoice Payments process, making it easier to send invoices for payment. Invoices with a VAT variance or a incorrect or missing Local Authority Reference will now appear in the Rejected Invoices list. VAT variance handling was introduced previously but now has a new look.

When a school imports a Central Payments file, all supplier Local Authority references are validated:

• Incorrect or Missing Creditor Number: The invoice will be temporarily excluded from the batch and moved to the Rejected Invoices section.

• Missing Address Info (e.g., postcode): If a Local Authority reference is present, the address will be updated from Local Authority records.

For invoices rejected due to a incorrect or missing Local Authority reference, you can now search by the supplier’s bank account details:

• If a match is found, the invoice will no longer be rejected and can be batched as usual.

• The supplier’s address details will be displayed — we recommend updating Bromcom with these details to prevent future rejections.

• If no match is found, the supplier might not be in our current records. You can leave the invoice in the rejected list and try again later.

You also have the option to delete the invoice from the Rejected Invoices list. If you do:

1. Delete the invoice from Bromcom.

2. Ensure supplier details are correct in Bromcom.

3. Re-enter the invoice.
