Major updates in this release

Ability to input a business number when manually creating a business

This release provides the ability to specify a business number when creating a business via manual entry (i.e. when the business is not available for retrieval from a business register). An example of when this may be used, is when manually adding a foreign company (i.e. non Australia / New Zealand company). In this case, you may wish to record a business number for the company even though it cannot be searched for on a business register. It should be noted that only a single business number can be captured, and it will be recorded with a generic type of 'business number'. This feature is available both when adding a new verification, and when adding a sub-business (such as a shareholder that is a business) to a verification.

It is now also possible to specify a single business number when requesting the creation of a manual entry business via the greenID Business API.

The following screenshot shows the capture of a manual business now includes business number:

As a result of the change to be able to capture a business number when manually adding a business, the wording on the screen for choosing the method of creating a New Zealand business has been amended. (This change was required since previous wording referred to 'has a business number' and 'does not have a business number' which would now be misleading). The new wording is as follows:
