What’s new in Perk - January 2026

Granular policy controls

Travel January 29, 2026

We’ve rolled out new travel policy controls to make it easier than ever to enforce rules and save costs. You can now set up budgets for one way vs return flights, ensure that corporate rates are always in policy, and even decide which car classes are in policy. We’ve also launched a median budget for trains, to give travelers more dynamic budgets.

Expense receipt preview

Expense January 29, 2026

The receipt preview has officially moved from the left side to the right side of your screen. While it might seem like a small shift, it makes a world of difference for your productivity. By placing the receipt side-by-side with the expense data fields, this new alignment helps keep the most important data fields front and center while still giving you a clear view of your receipt so you can easily check extracted data.

Dutch IATA accreditation now live

Travel January 27, 2026

We’ve launched a new Dutch IATA accreditation, enabling support for KLM corporate fares for bookings originating in the Netherlands.

Dutch customers can now negotiate corporate fare agreements directly with KLM and load those rates into Perk, while also accessing local Dutch inventory and fares.

Single-user editing for invoices

Invoice January 26, 2026

To avoid conflicting changes in invoices, only one user can edit an invoice at a time. When a user is actively editing an invoice, other users with edit access can only open it in read-only mode. Actions that count as editing include: 

  • clicking into editable header or line-item fields
  • dismissing notifications, opening PO matching
  • using toolbar actions (forward, split, delete)
  • adding documents. 

Viewing-only actions that don’t lock the invoice for editing include scrolling, switching invoices, resizing or selecting columns, messaging, navigating tabs, or using the PDF viewer. The lock on the invoice is released when the user editing the invoice saves or closes the invoice, or is inactive for 15 minutes; any unsaved changes are lost.

Reconciliation reports, right where you want them

Travel January 23, 2026

We’ve upgraded your financial controls to ensure sensitive data stays in the right hands. You can now specify exactly who receives Full Credit Voucher (FCV) reconciliation reports, moving away from the "one-size-fits-all" approach that previously notified all account admins.

By visiting your Car Preferences page, you can designate specific recipients—like a finance or accounting alias - to eliminate inbox clutter. This ensures the right people get the data they need while keeping sensitive financial information secure and targeted.

Filter hotels by their sustainability

Travel January 20, 2026

We’ve built a new functionality to allow you to filter hotels with sustainability certificates, also giving travelers visibility during check-out with a new “Eco-certified” badge.

Trip approvals now available in Microsoft Teams

Travel January 20, 2026

Approvers can now receive and review trip approvals directly in Microsoft Teams. Alongside existing Slack approvals, this integration sends real-time notifications in Teams, removing the need to check emails or log into the platform to review trips.

Match PO invoices to different suppliers

Invoice January 14, 2026

At times, suppliers may send invoices for goods that are associated with a purchase order from one of the supplier’s legal entities. Until now, if you selected a PO in the invoice header, you could only see the POs for the main invoice supplier. However, you can now choose to display POs for other suppliers. To help users to choose the right PO, the supplier’s name is displayed in the Purchase order number field.

Credit note recognition

Invoice January 14, 2026

Perk now recognizes credit notes uploaded manually by invoice processors. When a document is uploaded, Perk automatically marks any invoice with a negative total amount as a credit note. At times, suppliers may send credit notes with positive total amounts. With document classification, Perk can recognize these documents as credit notes.

Assign invoice cost objects and categories using regex rules

Invoices January 5, 2026

You can now automatically assign cost objects and categories to invoice line items based on the information extracted from the invoice. Perk extracts specific information from invoices and automatically determines the corresponding cost object and/or category to assign to all line items.
