Foundation Setup

The configuration layer every other module depends on. Get this right once and the rest of the system inherits the values.

What You'll Configure

Branches
Warehouses
Currencies & Exchange Rates
Payment Methods
Document Numbering
Units of Measure
Tax Codes
Company Bank Accounts

Branches

A branch is a physical business location. You can have as many as you need. Mark one as headquarters.

  • Each branch carries its own code, name, address, contact details, and optional logo
  • Users are assigned to a branch — their operational data is filtered to that branch
  • Each branch can have one or more warehouses

Warehouses

Warehouses are storage locations belonging to a branch. All stock is tracked at the warehouse level — never just at the branch.

  • Goods are received into a warehouse
  • Sold from a warehouse
  • Transferred between warehouses
  • Counted at the warehouse

Currencies & Exchange Rates

Set up every currency the business uses. One is marked as the base currency — the one the books are kept in.

Exchange rates are entered with an effective date. When you create a transaction, the system uses the rate that was effective on that date.

Conversion: Foreign Amount ÷ Exchange Rate = Base Amount. The system records both.

Payment Methods

Define every way the business accepts or pays money — Cash, Card, Mobile Money, Bank Transfer, Cheque, etc.

  • Each method is linked to a chart-of-accounts entry — that's how the system knows which account to debit / credit when it is used
  • Methods can require a reference (e.g. cheque number) and/or approval
  • Methods can be activated / deactivated without deleting them

Document Numbering

Configure how each document type's numbers are generated — invoices, quotations, POs, GRVs, payments, journals, etc.

For each document type pick:

  • Prefix (e.g. INV, QTN, PO)
  • Number length (zero-padded), separator (-, /)
  • Include year? Include month?
  • Reset counter yearly / monthly?
  • Optional suffix

A live preview shows what the next number will look like, e.g. INV-2026-000123 or QTN/2026/05/0001.

Units of Measure

Pieces, kilograms, litres, boxes, cartons — whatever the business sells in. Used on products, invoices, POs, and POS receipts.

Tax Codes

Define VAT and any other applicable tax codes (rate, name, account it posts to). Tax codes are then chosen per invoice line, PO line, and POS transaction. The system calculates the tax and posts it automatically.

Company Bank Accounts

Store the bank accounts the business banks into. These print on customer invoices so customers can pay you. Mark one as the default.
