Microsoft is ending support for the legacy Service Bus Messaging Protocol (SBMP) on 30 September 2026, as part of the retirement of its older Azure Service Bus libraries. SPIR uses Azure Service Bus to communicate between its components.

Are you affected? You are affected if you are running SPIR with Spindle Document Management earlier than v11. If your site is not updated, you will not be able to process purchase invoices through SPIR from that date — documents in the portal will not change status, and documents may fail to post into Sage 200 and archive into Spindle Document Management.

What you need to do: To ensure you are patched before the deadline, you can ask your IT team to follow the steps on the KBA — KBA-11-01-006 - Service Bus Patch. 

Alternatively, contact us to arrange the update at support@draycir.com.

Please note: if you are on a version of Spindle Document Management before 10.5, the patch will not work and a full Spindle Document Management upgrade will be required.

Based on customer feedback, we have introduced the Currency and VAT Analysis fields in Spindle Approvals.

This enhancement allows you to view this information directly within the approval request:

Additionally, approval rules can also be created using the Currency and VAT Analysis fields.

Currency field:

VAT Analysis fields:

You can now create approval rules to compare Purchase Order and Purchase Invoice totals (Net and/or Gross amounts).

For example, an invoice can be automatically approved if the Purchase Invoice net amount is less than the Purchase Order net amount:

In addition, the following new "MATCHES" rules have been introduced for comparing Purchase Invoice and Purchase Order line item values.

You can now open Approvals Requests in separate tabs or windows - perfect for reviewing or approving several at the same time.

Just right-click a request in your approvals list and choose “Open in new tab” or “Open in new window”.

This improvement comes directly from your user feedback - we hope it helps you work more efficiently and approve requests faster.

We’ve made it simpler for you to copy text directly from the Purchase Invoice into a free text field in Web Verify, eliminating the need to re-enter information manually.

Here’s an example of how it works:

• On the Nominal Analysis tab, click into the Narrative field.
• To append text to the existing content: Press and hold Shift + Ctrl, then click and drag the left mouse button over the desired text.
• To overwrite any existing text in the Narrative field: Press and hold the Shift key, then click and drag the left mouse button over the text you want to copy.

Note: You can use this method to copy text from your document into any free text field in Web Verify.

This enhancement makes editing faster and more efficient!

We’ve made some usability enhancements to help make your invoice verification process more efficient:

• When entering a line item manually, the Net Amount will now be automatically calculated.
• Line items with a Unit Price of up to 5 decimal places will now be supported.
• The line item Quantity field will now be flagged if it is equal to zero for added validation.
• All (F4) search dialogs are now case insensitive, making it easier for you to filter on data from your accounting system.
• When looking up Purchase Order line items using the (F4) search dialog, you will now have visibility of the line item 'Net Amount' to help you with the matching process.

 We hope you find these enhancements helpful!

The Document Verification List displays all documents that are in ‘Verification Required’ status. You will see it appear after you have verified a document, making it quicker and easier for you to verify the "next" document without needing to return to the Document Portal.

Previously the Document Verification List (Job List) was only available to users that were on Spindle Document Management 10.3 and below. Following your feedback, we decided to re-introduce it for all our users!

For information on how to verify documents, please see this help article.

We've made it easier to enter Project Analysis information in Web Verify by auto-populating data for you. 

On the Project Analysis tab, you will now see a new Insert & Autofill Row(s) button. We hope you find it useful!

Based on customer feedback, we've now included the Project Analysis ‘Project Manager’ from Sage 200 in Spindle Approvals. 

This means that you can now send approval requests to the Project Manager or simply view who the Project Manager is when approving a Purchase Invoice.

Learn more about setting up approval rules by visiting this help article.

We have now updated the validation rule on Line Item Quantity in Web Verify, so that if multiple Purchase Invoice lines match to a single Purchase Order line (same ‘Pos’), the Quantity will only be flagged if the total exceeds the Expected Quantity .

We hope you find this improvement helpful!
