Other updates to AP Automation with Purchasing

This release brings the following updates to AP Automation with Purchasing.

Support for Advanced Audit Trail

For companies that use Advanced Audit Trail, you can now subscribe to AP Automation, including the extension to Purchasing, to automate incoming transactions.
