What's new

Lien waiver templates

  • Build as many as you want. The old four-template limit is gone.

  • Name each one yourself, then assign it one of the four types.

  • Copy a template, adjust it for a job, and set which jobs it defaults to.

  • Now has its own item in the left nav under Accounting Data.

  • Existing templates carried over. You do not need to rebuild them.

Job types

  • Create custom job types in a project's settings.

  • Filter by job type on the jobs screen, in the WIP report, and in AI reporting.

Approvals on expenses, POs and draws

  • Approval workflows used to be bills only. They now cover all four.

  • Draw approvals are in beta. Approving a draw does not release it to your client. Email support to have them switched on.

Linked PO conditions on bill approvals

  • Route bills based on their relationship to a purchase order: no PO attached, exceeds the PO by a percentage, or exceeds it by a dollar amount.

  • Useful when rolling out a PO process and you want anything that slips through to land with a specific person.

Sign in with your email address

  • Sign in with a Google or Microsoft account.

  • Separate from email integration. The two addresses do not have to match.

Customizable exports

  • Budget exports: choose and reorder columns, and split change orders into external, internal and budget modification columns.

  • Draw exports: choose which columns appear. Selections are sticky per user.

Smaller changes

  • Filter by credit type on the bills page, including vendor credits.

  • A draws page under Accounting Data showing status, open balance and partial payments.

  • Download a change order PDF to preview it before sending, or after signature.

  • Profile pictures, which carry through to comments, activity and emails.

Coming next

  • Quantities on bills and POs, expected end of September or early October

  • Reconciliation Center, a dedicated tab for reconciling statements

  • Ressio sync improvements for change orders and budgets, roughly 45 days out

  • AI chat improvements and a simpler budget upload

Tip from the call

Reconcile a vendor statement without leaving Adaptive:

  1. Drop the statement PDF into the AI assistant.

  2. Ask it to surface any variances or missing invoices.

  3. Ask for a different format if you want one. Plain English works.

  4. Save the prompt so you can run the same check next month.
