# September Release
Released September 18, 2025
## 🚀 New Feature: Bring Your Own Data (BYOD) Integration
We’re excited to introduce **Bring Your Own Data (BYOD)** — a new integration option on the ADaaS platform that enables Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) to manually upload financial data without requiring ERP or API connections. See [Bring Your Own Data](https://docs.railz.ai/docs/byod)under Guides.
### 🧩 Why This Matters
With BYOD, SMBs can now upload financial statements manually — unlocking access to insights like credit scores, financial ratios, and forecasts without needing to integrate their accounting software.
### 💡 What’s Included
* **Manual Upload Support:** Accepts Excel (.xlsx), CSV (.csv), PDF (.pdf), Word (.docx), and JSON (.json) formats.
* **Flexible Upload Limits:** Up to 10 files per upload, each no larger than 10 MB.
* **Supported Statements:** Balance Sheet, Income Statement, and Cash Flow Statement.
* **Reporting Frequencies:** Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly.
* **Date Range Requirement:** Must be included in the file content (not just the filename).
### 🔧 How It Works
1. **Enable BYOD** in your [Dashboard](https://dashboard.railz.ai/) under **Integrations** > **Accounting.**
2. **Generate a Sites link** for your business customer.
3. **Customer uploads financial files** via a guided online flow.
4. **View sync status** in Webhook Logs and access normalized insights.
See [Set up BYOD](https://docs.railz.ai/docs/setup-byod) for details.
## API Updates
### ZOHO Books - Creating an Invoice will now set the initial Status to "Open"
Invoices created via the POST API for Zoho Books will now automatically be assigned an initial status of **"Open"**, which triggers an **immediate email notification to the customer**—eliminating the need for manual intervention previously required by customers.
To ensure smooth delivery, **contact information must be included in the invoice payload**, as it determines where the notification is sent.
This enhancement brings **ADaaS behavior in line with other ASPs**, ensuring consistent customer communication upon invoice creation.
A new FAQ ***"Creating an invoice in Zoho Books***" has been added to support this update: See [Zoho Books FAQ](https://docs.railz.ai/docs/zoho-books-faq)
### Oracle Netsuite - New FAQ added when Creating an Invoice or Journal Entry
To support smoother invoice and journal entry creation in Oracle NetSuite, we’ve added a new FAQ to our integration documentation:
✅ **Prerequisites for Invoice and Journal Entry Creation in Oracle NetSuite**\
When creating a new invoice or journal entry, ensure the following business/account setting is configured to avoid permission errors related to tranid:
***
In Oracle NetSuite, navigate to **Setup → Company → Auto-Generated Numbers,** and enable\*\*"Allow Override"\*\* for both **"Invoice"** and **"Journal"**.
***
This setting allows for override of transaction IDs, which is essential for successful integration and data sync. You can find this FAQ here [Oracle NetSuite FAQ](https://docs.railz.ai/docs/integrations-accounting-netsuite-faq)
