August 2026 changed how invoicing prerequisites treat a Bill of Lading versus a Proof of Delivery, brought a batch of requested settlement features including automatic negative-balance rollover and off-cycle pay periods, and added two new reports to the Reports Library.
Overview
August’s most consequential change is one to check your settings for: a Bill of Lading no longer satisfies a Proof of Delivery requirement unless your subsidiary has explicitly opted in. Alongside it, driver pay picked up automatic negative-balance rollover and off-cycle pay periods, carrier settlements can be grouped by factoring company, and the Reports Library gained Days to Invoice and Lane Profitability.Invoicing & Billing (August 4)
Bill of Lading and Proof of Delivery are now separate requirements
Alvys used to accept an uploaded Bill of Lading in place of a missing Proof of Delivery when deciding whether a load could be released or invoiced. That behaviour was built for operations whose BOL carries the delivery signatures, but there was no way to opt out of it — so a subsidiary that genuinely needed a POD could be invoiced on a BOL alone. This is now an explicit choice per subsidiary. Proof of Delivery remains the required document, with an indented sub-option, Use Bill of Lading as Proof of Delivery, beneath it. Turn that on and a BOL can stand in for a missing POD, exactly as before. Leave it off and only an actual POD satisfies the requirement. When both documents are on a load, the POD always takes priority. What you need to know:- The same setting governs AutoMerge, not just the release and invoicing gate — so a BOL is merged into the invoice packet as the POD only when you have opted in.
- This changed the default. Subsidiaries that did not opt in during the notice window moved to strict separation on August 4, which means a load can no longer be released or invoiced on a BOL alone. If releasing or invoicing has started failing on a missing POD, this setting is the first place to look.
- There was no backfill, so the setting reflects what each subsidiary chose rather than what it used to do implicitly.
Driver Pay & Settlements (August)
- Negative balances on driver statements can roll over automatically, so you no longer chase them manually each period.
- Create off-cycle pay periods, and choose pay-period start dates further back when you need more flexibility.
- Optionally display the remittance date on carrier statements, using a new settings toggle.
- Accessorial notes now appear on the statement, giving clearer pay context.
- Transaction modals show rate subtotals, so totals are easier to verify at a glance.
- Revert a statement when an accounting or payment-provider sync fails, so you can correct and resubmit instead of getting stuck.
- Triumph vendor payments sync into your ERP automatically.
- Carrier Settlements can group open items by factoring company, filter by carrier within that view, and optionally restore per-carrier rows for remit-to workflows. Carrier settlement Drafts also refresh immediately after you unapprove items from the sidebar.
- Truck-specific deductions stay tied to the right truck instead of spilling across a fleet, and deduction rules no longer reappear week after week after Business Central payroll generation.
- Adding detention or layover to an already-paid load no longer recalculates mileage incorrectly, statement mileage with accessorials is more accurate, and draft statement previews show the correct PDF.
- You can unmark paid loads in more statuses when a correction is needed, and paid accessorials no longer reappear as unpaid for owner-operators after the New Pay Module migration.
- Owner-operator statements generate reliably even when an old deduction rule was deleted, and owner statements include the loads you expect.
- Triumph factoring packets keep the carrier invoice in the combined PDF, lumper audit documents map to the right document type, and factoring remit-to details sync correctly for TriumphPay-paid carriers across accounting integrations.
- The Release action stays available after you upload carrier invoices.
- When an EFS code has already been issued or used, you can still correct the carrier or driver on the load, and EFS eCheck connect reports permanent faults clearly rather than as a temporary outage.
- Factoring uploads succeed when the carrier DOT number is set correctly.
- Settlement dates display correctly for users outside US time zones, pay period filters hide deprecated periods unless they still have an active draft, and your Pay Module column order sticks after you rearrange it.
- Drivers can view pay stubs and completed loads in the mobile app again.
- Credit limit updates save without a server error.
Invoicing, Billing & Accounting (August)
- QuickBooks Desktop sync is more reliable when adding fuel-provider vendors, sessions no longer stall mid-sync, and payments for completed loads flow into QuickBooks more dependably.

- Invoice delivered dates and the invoice numbers in the Load Usage export are more accurate.
- Shared billing exports every Business Central transaction in your selection, not just the first.

- Shipper location edits save correctly even when an invoice has already been generated.
Fuel (August)
- IFTA and custom fuel imports are clearer and more forgiving: excluded rows surface as proper partial-success feedback, optional columns stay optional, and common diesel synonyms map to Truck Diesel correctly.

- Commission spreadsheet sync includes the full set of expected data, and driver statements that share the same date now appear correctly.
Integrations, EDI & Tracking (August)
- Stronger EDI 214 and 990 handling for partner workflows, including arrival and location detail, and partner EDI loads more reliably receive stop dates and times.
- After a successful EDI share, the stop card Shared update label refreshes right away, and EDI tender updates preserve consolidated shared and route notes instead of overwriting them.
- MacroPoint outbound tracking data reaches your customers more reliably.
- Map routes load consistently on the Asset Map.
Companies, Contacts & Access (August)
