Supplier Name Update
Now the supplier name in Linkana is no longer static as it was before!
With the monthly update of the base data, the legal name of the supplier will be automatically updated according to this latest update. This is reflected everywhere in the tool where the legal name appears, such as in the supplier header, the listing of suppliers, or the supplier report.

Ability to hide the functionality of not requesting forms from the supplier
In many cases, we need to ensure that supplier forms are always collected correctly according to the category, without being able to bypass this process.
This is especially true if you use Linkana integrated into your ERP, where fields such as bank information and tax data are mandatory for registration in the ERP.
With this in mind, we have now made it configurable to have "I do not want to request forms from the supplier" at the time of adding new suppliers. This way, you can ensure that all added suppliers will have their registration data collected.

If you want to change this setting in your environment, just contact us in the support chat and we can change it for you.*
*For now, this setting is only available in the Linkana admin panel
Other improvements we've made:
Correction of the Login flow with uppercase: We had a problem where if you typed the email with uppercase or without uppercase, Linkana considered them as 2 different emails (example: Marcelo@linkana.com or marcelo@linkana.com). This has been corrected and they are now considered the same email.
Notify the supplier when they are advanced in the process: We have in the supplier panel in the "Awaiting supplier" stage a button "Advance supplier", where you could move the supplier to the "Awaiting review" stage regardless of the status of the requested forms for resending. Now, when this button is pressed, we notify the supplier, so they are not confused that they previously needed to send pending items and now do not need to send them anymore.
