Total Web Solution Journey
We have exciting news about the Total Web Solution (TWS) for Financial Edge NXT! Initially planned by the end of March, we’ve extended the timeline to July 2025 to give you more time to adopt specific features, not yet in web view.

Access to certain database view areas will continue through July of this year, ensuring a smooth transition to the new web view features.

Stay engaged with our TWS journey right here and through our dedicated Total Web Solution page, the upcoming Product Update Briefing (PUB), your monthly emails, and of course, the in-product notifications. These resources will keep you up-to-date on the latest developments and what's coming next. Thank you for being part of this exciting transformation!

Receivables Update
We're releasing Receivables features in small, usable increments. Many of these features are releasing in waves to our United States customers first. We'll fully support additional locales in a future release!

NOTE: In March, we began turning off the Accounts Receivable processing page in database view. You will not lose any functionality! You can still access those features and processes, but in a different area of the product.

Stay up-to-date and track Receivables features at your convenience:

• Community: For a quick overview, view our March 25th Receivables blog post.
• What’s New: To view the newest features we’ve released, see the Receivables section in What's New.
