What's New: Keep Working During Data Syncs + a Redesigned Account Mappings Experience

Two improvements designed to save you time, reduce friction, and make day-to-day life in Blue Onion smoother.

🚀 Use the App While Your Data Syncs

Previously, when Blue Onion was running data ingest and processing jobs, the app was effectively on hold — you had to wait for those jobs to finish before you could interact with anything. For customers with large data volumes or long sync windows, this created real friction during the times you most wanted to be working.

What's changed

The rest of the application now remains fully usable while data is being ingested and processed in the background. Navigate the app, review journal entries, configure templates, run reports — keep working as you normally would, even while a sync is in progress.

Only mutations that depend on the in-progress sync are temporarily held back until the processing is complete. Everything else is fair game.

What this means for you

No more sync wait times blocking your workflow
Faster month-end close — keep reviewing data and building templates while overnight or historical syncs run
A smoother experience across the whole app, especially for customers with high data volumes

✨ Account Mappings: A Unified, Simpler Setup

One page. One workflow. Zero context switching.

We've redesigned the General Ledger → Configuration → Account Mappings page to give you a cleaner, all-in-one experience for managing how your payout data flows into your GL.

What's new

Accounts and additional fields, side by side. You can now map additional fields directly alongside your account mappings — no more switching between the Account Mappings page and the Additional Fields page to keep them in sync. Everything you need to configure a payout account lives in one place.

Clearer, more predictable setup. The new UI guides you to a single, unambiguous additional-field mapping per payout account. What you configure is exactly what posts downstream — no guesswork, no hidden defaults, no surprises in your GL.

What this means for you

Faster setup when onboarding new payout accounts or adjusting existing mappings
Fewer errors from accounts and additional fields drifting out of sync
Clearer visibility into how each payout account will post to your GL

⏳ Transition Period

The legacy Additional Fields page will remain available to existing users until June 30, 2026 so you have time to get comfortable with the new layout.

After June 30, 2026, additional field mapping will live exclusively on the Account Mappings page.

Journal Entries: consolidated multi-sheet export

Exporting journal entries from the template view in Explorer now produces a single consolidated file instead of one file (and one email) per entry.

One file, multiple sheets. Each journal entry lands on its own sheet within a single .xlsx, so a selection of 8 entries arrives as 1 file in 1 email instead of 8 of each.

Easier review and audit. Bulk JE pulls are no longer scattered across multiple emails and unnamed files, which is especially helpful for large company audit workflows.

General Ledger Order Reconciliation: easier triage of missing transactions

Two updates to the GL Order Reconciliation page make it easier to find and investigate missing transactions:

New "Unknown" filter. Filter the page to show only orders with no matching GL transaction. This is the true "missing" case, separate from orders where Blue Onion and your GL disagree on values.

New "Pre-GL-data" status. New "Pre-GL-data" marker on Unknown rows. Unknown orders dated before your company's earliest GL record are now visually flagged as Pre-GL-data, so expected pre-go-live gaps are clearly separated from real post-go-live issues.
