General release Q1 | 2026

February

Contract budget and spend

We have introduced new budget and spend fields for contracts, giving you clearer visibility into approved budgets and actual spend across timesheets, expenses, and milestones.

You can now track original, approved, and remaining budget as well as total contract spend in real time, helping you better manage budget utilization and identify when additional approvals or change requests may be required. A new contract budget exceeded trigger also supports automated notifications and approval workflows when spend exceeds approved thresholds.

Budget enforcement is fully process-driven and supported by configurable workflows, allowing approvals at each stage while giving you control over how and when budget approvals are applied.

Critical timesheets

Critical timesheets notifications alert users when submitted timesheets require updates due to engagement changes. When a retroactive engagement change updates a cost center or financial field, workers or suppliers must review any previously submitted timesheets that used outdated values and select the correct ones. The system triggers a critical timesheet notification to highlight the required changes. We enhanced these notifications to include clear, actionable steps for resolving the issue. The message appears as a note directly on the timesheet.

If an engagement has only one cost center or financial field defined and this single value is retroactively updated to another single value, the timesheet automatically uses the new value. As a result, the critical timesheets notification is not triggered because no manual correction is required.

Timesheets marked as critical before the enhanced notifications were introduced continue to display the earlier, more general notification and do not include the step-by-step guidance for resolving the issue.
Org Navigator: improved navigation and clarity

Org Navigator is now easier to navigate and more intuitive to use. This release delivers a number of user experience improvements that reduce time spent searching for information, improve visual clarity, and ensure the right details appear where you expect them without requiring you to relearn how the interface works.

The changes to the Org Navigator include:

  • Standardized layouts

    Information appears in consistent locations across views, with actions enabled or disabled based on context to make navigation easier and reduce errors.

  • Clear visual distinction

    Worker cards and organization cards now have distinct designs, making combined views easier to scan and interpret.

  • Progressive disclosure

    Unselected cards remain collapsed, while selected cards expand to show relevant details such as engagements, direct reports, and spend limits.

  • Bug fixes and stability improvements

    Navigation behavior, counters, and overall stability have been improved.

  • Spend approval limits

    Spend approval limits are now visible directly on worker cards, so you can review approval thresholds at a glance without opening individual worker profiles.

Type-ahead search for cost centers and financial fields

Type-ahead search displays matching results as you type, helping you find and select values faster. We added type-ahead search for cost centers and financial fields when you add worker timesheets, supplier timesheets, or expenses.

If an engagement has only one assigned cost center or financial field and that field is required, it is automatically selected. If the single-value field is optional, you can still select it manually.

Organizations drop-down improvements

We’ve redesigned the Organizations drop-down menu in reports and hub filter panels to provide a more consistent and transparent experience. The updated design adds clear visual indicators that show which organizations contain sub-organizations, making it easier to include or exclude sub-organizations as needed.

January

Spend Detail Report enhancements for consolidated invoicing

We updated the Spend Detail Report to better align with existing client financial connector fields used for manual invoicing outside of blueprints. The changes include adding new fields and updating existing ones to close gaps between financial connector data and the Spend Detail Report.

These updates enable clients to move from using a financial connector to the consolidated invoicing capability, with the Spend Detail Report serving as the base report and providing all required invoice data.

The new fields include:

  • Hiring manager ID

  • Timesheet Start Date

  • Timesheet End Date

  • Financial Type (Debit/Credit): We previously only labeled credits but now include both debits and credits for clarity.

  • Business Site City

  • Business Site State/Region

  • Business Site Zip/Postal Code

  • Business Site Country Code

  • Supervisory Org levels 1-3

  • Engagement Organization Name

    We also have expanded the Approval Date and Submission Date filters to include time for more precise filtering.

Financial connector will be retired on March 31st, 2026.
Job posting ID references

You can now reference the originating job posting during sourcing and managing engagements. This update improves traceability between job postings, job applications, and worker engagements.

The job posting ID updates involve:

  • New smart form components can be configured to display the Job Posting ID in:

    • Job Application smart forms (jobApplicationJobPostingIdNumber)

    • Worker’s profile Engagement smart forms (engagementJobPostingIdNumber)

  • The Job Posting ID is now available as a selectable column in:

    • Engagements hub

    • Workers hub (primary engagement view)

Reporting performance improvement

To improve reporting performance, we now exclude zero hour rows in the Spend Detail Report.

Manual user task cancellation

You can now manually cancel tasks from the All Tasks section on the Tasks page in Beeline Professional. This feature supports both single-task and bulk cancellation.

To allow users to cancel a task, you must enable cancellation for that task in the smart form that triggers it. In addition, tasks that users can cancel must be connected to another step in the process definition to specify what happens after cancellation.

Headcount Tracking report: new fields added

We updated the Headcount Tracking report template to include additional worker information. This release adds the following worker fields:

  • Work Email

  • Tenure Start Date

  • Tenure Duration Total Days

  • Personal Email

  • Phone Number

  • EC First Name

  • EC Last Name

  • EC Phone Number

    EC stands for emergency contact.
Additional task filter

We added a new task filter to Beeline Professional. The Engagement Job Profiles filter is now available on the Tasks page for both My Tasks and All Tasks. This multi-select filter allows you to refine task lists by one or more engagement job profiles.

Positive fee display for supplier-funded invoices

In supplier-funded programs, Beeline Professional uses negative fee values to deduct fees from the amount due to the supplier. While this supports accurate calculations, it can be confusing for finance teams reviewing invoice files and can complicate downstream payment processing.

To address this, we introduced a new setting allowing fee amounts to appear as positive values in invoice output files, including consolidated invoices and the Spend Detail Report. This enhancement improves clarity for finance teams while maintaining accurate accounting and system integrity.

To enable this feature, go to: Settings  Spend  Invoices  General  Show Positive Fees in Invoice Output (Exclude Credits).

When the new setting is enabled, the following changes occur:

  • The system displays the absolute value of all fee-related columns (for example, Total Fees and any custom rate columns tagged as fees).

  • Credit lines (where Adjustment = Yes and Adjustment Type = Credit) display negative values on the invoice summary page to ensure accurate corrections.

  • No backend calculations or stored values change as this update affects display only.

Allowed currencies

We replaced the Excluded Values field with the Allowed Currencies field on smart forms. This change applies to all field components that include a currency selection. You can now select multiple currencies to allow for a smart form.

Export rate cards data

You can now export the complete set of rate cards data in Beeline Professional. To export rate cards data, go to Settings  Engagements  Rate Cards, and then select Export Data.

Smart forms enhancements

We updated the smart forms user interface to improve usability and streamline form configuration. This release also adds new configuration options on supported smart form elements, giving administrators greater control when setting up and managing smart forms.

Headcount Tracking report new filters

The Headcount Tracking report now includes custom engagement field filters.

Export cost center data

You can now export the complete set of cost center data in Beeline Professional. To export cost center data, go to Settings  Enterprise  Cost Centers, and then select Export Data.

Consolidated invoicing

Consolidated invoicing enables self-service, automated pro forma invoice generation in Beeline Professional. Administrators configure invoice blueprints, which serve as reusable templates that define billing rules, suppliers, data sources, required fields, schedules, and output formats. These blueprints establish the recurring structure of an invoice, ensuring consistent, accurate invoice generation across billing cycles. Scheduled runs generate invoices for review, payment, and downstream financial system invoice output consumption.

The feature supports both consolidated and targeted billing. An enhancement to our Invoices hub provides centralized visibility into invoice status, execution history, downloadable outputs, and notifications, with invoice data aligned to the Spend Detail Report.

Key benefits:

  • Increases efficiency by automating invoice creation and eliminating manual exports.

  • Enhances flexibility through configurable invoice fields and output formats.

  • Streamlines setup with reusable blueprints and scheduled automation.

  • Improves accuracy by reducing manual data entry and processing errors.

  • Scales easily to support growing invoice volumes without added administrative effort.
