What's New

Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT releases new features on a regular basis, so keep an eye on this space for details about these additions! Some features will release generally for all customers while others will be available in waves - as small, usable increments. Similarly, some will release to our United States customers first, while support for other locales will be added to future releases. We'll note locales so that you can be aware of what's available.

Note: Don't see this yet? These improvements are in Limited Availability (LA) and releasing in waves. During the LA, we'll review and implement participant feedback to prepare for general availability.

We’re improving report setup and editing to reduce delays and create a more reliable experience when you add, update, and manage reports.

These updates modernize how report parameter sets and related report details are managed behind the scenes. As a result, report workflows respond faster while preserving the familiar experience you use today.

As this enhancement rolls out, you can:

  • Add report instances with smoother, more consistent performance.

  • Update existing report settings with fewer delays.

  • Work more efficiently with saved report options in web view.

Review the list of updated reports to identify the ones you now add, edit, and generate only with these updates.

These improvements are part of ongoing efforts to increase performance and reliability across reporting workflows.

Generate these general ledger reports with improved speed and reliability. Performance updates reduce delays, improve stability, and support higher report volumes so you spend less time troubleshooting and more time getting work done.

Available reports

  • General ledger report

  • Trial balance report

Note: There are no workflow changes required to take advantage of this improvement.

The new Payment Assistant tile on vendor records shows, at a glance, whether a vendor is enrolled in Payment Assistant and how they’re set up to receive payments through REPAY. This makes it easy to quickly confirm a vendor’s payment setup without digging through vendor details.

For enrolled vendors, the tile highlights the payment method and enrollment date. It also surfaces supporting information — such as recent payment activity — so you can better understand a vendor’s overall payment status.

You can review how a vendor receives payments, spot missing or incomplete EFT (electronic funds transfer) details, and take action directly from the vendor record.

In addition, Enrolled delivery method is now available as a new column on the Payments tab in Payment Assistant, making it easier to review payment setup across vendors.

Note: These features are only available for customers with a Queue subscription (contact your Account Executive for details).

From Analysis, Reports, under Groups, use report groups to bundle up to 20 reports and automatically generate and email them based on a schedule. Report groups streamline recurring reporting, saving time while ensuring consistent, reliable insights across your organization.

Save time and reduce manual data entry with AI-powered document processing in Financial Edge NXT. Powered by Microsoft Azure AI Document Intelligence and Blackbaud AI, this feature extracts key details from invoices, reimbursement receipts, and credit card charge receipts, then automatically adds them to invoice requests and credit card transactions.

Simply upload your documents and let AI capture information such as invoice numbers, dates, expense details, categories, and purposes. The result is a faster, more accurate submission process with fewer errors and less admin effort.

Supporting documents remain attached to requests and transactions for easy review, while your organization continues to follow its existing approval and processing workflows.

Total Web Solution

As Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT shifts to a total web solution, we're moving features from database view exclusively to web view. As this shift progresses, we'll remove access to these features in database view.

To reduce the risk of service interruptions, gather feedback, and scale as needed, we're releasing these updates in waves instead of deploying everything at once.

For each feature area, we've listed "wave" dates to indicate when a feature area will begin to turn off in database view. If your organization is included in a wave, you will no longer have access to that specific feature beginning on the date listed. It's important to know that you may receive the updates immediately or in a future release.

To review feature areas and dates, see Total Web Solution.
