🚀Here’s what’s new and improved in Frisbii Billing and Pay this week. These changes were released based on updates completed during the week of Nov 12th – Nov 21st, and packaged for publication on Monday, Nov 24th.
🔧 Enhancements
Pay
✅ SEPA payments now use the invoice accounting number as the reference
What’s changed:
For both SEPA Native and SEPA via PPRO, the text shown on a customer’s bank statement will now use the invoice accounting number instead of the internal invoice handle. If the accounting number isn’t available, the system will automatically fall back to using the invoice handle.
Why it matters:
The accounting number is the primary reference shown on PDF invoices and in customer communication. Using it on SEPA statements makes payment references clearer and helps avoid confusion for both you and your customers.

🔁 Billing
✅ Simplified DATEV export with a single combined file
Product: Billing – Growth, Enterprise
Platform: Bookkeeping app
What’s changed: You can now export bookings and revenue deferrals in one combined DATEV file, instead of handling two separate files. This option is available directly in your bookkeeping export settings.
Why it matters: German merchants can upload their data into DATEV more easily, without merging files manually. This makes your internal finance workflow simpler and faster:
No more merging or uploading multiple files
Easier handover to accounting tools and advisors
Fewer manual steps and less risk of mistakes for each accounting period
If needed, you can still choose to keep the previous behaviour and generate separate files.

✅ Smarter billing-account selection when managing subscriptions
Product: Billing – Starter, Growth, Enterprise
Platform: APP
What’s changed: When a customer has multiple accounts, the system now prioritises the account with an active subscription, rather than simply selecting the first account on the list. Updated logic checks:
Whether the customer has a preferred country/account to prioritise, and
Whether any of their accounts have an active subscription - these are selected first.
Why it matters: This change makes account management much more accurate and intuitive:
You automatically land on an active account
No more defaulting to the wrong account
Fewer clicks, fewer mistakes, and smoother workflows for your team
🐞Bug Fixes
✅ Email merge fields now display correctly on customer emails
What’s changed: Fixed an issue where invoice receipt emails sometimes showed missing or inconsistent merge fields. The invoice accounting number now appears correctly.
Why it matters: Your automated customer emails now display accurate invoice details.
✅ Usage-based Pricing Calculator now shows the correct per-unit amount
Product: Billing – Growth, Enterprise
Platform: APP
What’s changed: The usage-based pricing calculator now displays all three decimals for per-unit prices, matching the value used in the actual calculation.
Why it matters: You’ll now see the exact per-unit price in the breakdown (e.g., 1.235), with correct rounding only applied to the final total - ensuring your usage charges are clear and accurately represented.

✅ VAT now displays correctly on the refund screen
What’s changed: If an invoice uses different VAT rates across line items, the refund screen now displays each rate correctly instead of combining them into one amount.
Why it matters: You get a clearer, more accurate view of VAT when processing refunds.
✅ Accurate tax calculation for credit notes
What’s changed: Fixed an issue where some invoices couldn’t be fully credited and showed a “Credit amount too high” error - particularly invoices created excluding VAT or with multiple- line items and quantity bigger than one.
Why it matters:
You can now credit these invoices without errors. The credit note correctly uses the original order line amounts, and the system processes the refund as expected.
