Tech Update

Purchase invoice inbox

28 April 2026 · 1 min read · By the SHIPM8 team

New Features

Purchase invoice inbox A new inbox in the expense list shows incoming purchase invoices with their attachments, and lets you create expenses straight from them. This removes the manual re-typing step between receiving a supplier invoice and charging it on. Available on request.

Splitting expenses You can select several expenses and split their amounts through a new dialog, instead of deleting and re-entering lines to divide a cost.

Locking expenses Expenses can be locked. A locked expense cannot be edited and its actions are disabled, which protects amounts that have already been agreed or charged.

Ship type picker Nautical ship forms now have a proper ship type picker dialog instead of a plain list.

Improvements

New overview tables Overview tables gained badges for list columns, group selection, faster sorting and a performance pass. Available on request.

Confirmation before removing links Removing a linked object from a detail page now asks for confirmation first.

PDFs open directly PDF documents in custom content open directly instead of through the built-in viewer, which is faster and works better with your browser's own PDF tools.

Better dropdowns on default data Default data dropdowns are easier to work with.

Filtering on content distribution forms Content distribution forms have extra filter and search fields.

Port movements with events Port movement data can be retrieved together with its events and attributes.
