:- Implemented at the token generation endpoint: oauth2/v1/token.
- To use a Refresh Token, include these parameters in the request:
- grant_type: Set to "refresh_token".
- refresh_token: The refresh token issued to the client.
- The old refresh token is revoked after a new one is issued, with each valid for 24 hours.
- Refresh tokens can be used multiple times within their validity period to generate new access tokens.
- Scopes remain unchanged and should not be included in refresh token requests.
- For further questions or assistance, please contact the support team.

These enhancements aim to improve the clarity and usability of the OIC API documentation, letting developers integrate with the API more effectively.

Other updates
Update to the UAE Refund form report
Customer TRN
and Supplier TRN
columns in this report were reportedly showing junk values when exported to Excel, while the on-screen report showed no such discrepancy. We resolved this issue as part of the February release, and exported Excel files will now show the correct values in the mentioned columns.Improved Error Messaging
We improved error messages seen when working on Configuration
then Entity Manager
menu, to deliver clearer and more precise error messages, enabling users to understand better the next steps and address configuration errors. This refinement is aimed at simplifying the setup process, saving valuable time. Enhanced logic of Opening/Closing balance in Norway SAF-T report
We updated the logic for consolidation of the opening and closing balances for Norway SAF-T, to sum up all the balances and calculate the total amount for each customer and supplier, resolving the previous discrepancies in showing the accurate output. This improvises the handling of data from multiple ERPs.The affected import types with this change include:
- DTR-General Ledger Accounts
- DTR-Customers
- DTR-Suppliers
Refer to the following scenarios to understand how the total amounts are displayed in the output by considering both opening/closing credit and debit balances.
Scenario 1
When the Opening Debit is greater than the Opening Credit then the generated output should contain the Opening Debit Balance. Similarly, if the Closing Debit is greater than the Closing Credit then the Closing Debit Balance should be in the output and vice versa.Scenario 2
When Opening Debit is equal to the Opening Credit or Closing Debit is equal to the Closing Credit then the generated output should contain the Debit values (Opening Debit Balance, Closing Debit Balance).Scenario 3
When Opening Debit is equal to Opening Credit which is equal to 0 or Closing Debit is equal to Closing Credit which is equal to 0 even in this scenario Debit balances (Opening Debit balance, Closing Debit balance) should be present in the output.This ensures that the output accurately reflects the total balance by considering both debit and credit amounts in various scenarios.
note
For APAC customers: The Advanced Import feature will be enabled and accessible to all APAC users starting from the 2025.02 release. This feature supports Australian GST Single templates, letting users directly import non-transactional data (W3 Amounts) from an Excel workbook into an OIC return. This enhancement improves the efficiency and accuracy of GST data management.
