Candis collapses approval-workflow sprawl — dynamic approvers and mandatory step fields land alongside an editor revamp.

◆Current state
The centerpiece of this window is a five-part Workflows release: a redesigned workflow editor, configurable mandatory fields per approval step, dynamic-field approver resolution (the right approver is picked from the receipt data — cost-center owner, project owner, invoice recipient), custom step labels, and the ability to import a workflow from another organization. Around that, Candis added Visa Click to Pay, a new layout and attachment support for Auslagen/Reisekosten (expenses and travel), an upcoming streamlined document layout (in beta from June 15), and improved automatching between credit-card transactions and invoices.
◆Where it's heading
Candis is reducing the number of workflow templates a finance team has to maintain — dynamic approver resolution and mandatory-fields-per-step replace what used to be a copy-paste workflow per cost center. The expense/document side gets steady UX polish on a separate cadence. Together it reads as a product moving from configurable-but-fiddly AP toward an opinionated AP backbone for German mid-market finance.
◆Prediction
Expect dynamic-field resolution to widen beyond approvers — likely to account assignment and cost-center splits — and the upcoming document-layout beta to roll out as the default in late June. The cross-org workflow import has the shape of a future template marketplace if Candis chooses to lean into it.

    Workflows: Fünf Updates auf einmal

    Five workflow updates land together: redesigned editor, mandatory-fields-per-step (Plus tier), dynamic-field approvers that resolve from receipt data (Max tier), custom step labels (Basis tier), and workflow import from another organization (Basis tier). The dynamic approver piece is the load-bearing one — it collapses what used to be many near-duplicate workflows into a single template that picks the right approver at runtime.

    Anhänge für Auslagen und Reisekosten

    Auslagen and Reisekosten now accept attachments directly — tickets and supporting docs live with the expense rather than being filed separately. Small but useful housekeeping for the audit trail.

    Bald: Verbessertes Dokumenten-Layout

    Announcement of a simpler document layout going to beta on June 15 — essentials in focus, advanced functions one click away. Heads-up rather than a release.

    Neues Layout für Auslagen und Reisekosten

    Expenses and travel reimbursements get a unified view — larger receipt display, single-pane review and posting, and a cover-sheet summary for approval. UX polish on the side of the product that's most user-facing.

    Verbessertes Automatching zwischen Kreditkartentransaktionen und Rechnungen

    Automatching between credit-card transactions and invoices is now faster and more reliable. The kind of plumbing work that matters quietly — every AP team has a backlog of unmatched transactions, and better matching directly shortens month-end.
