There are various account settings in ERP to restrict and configure actions in the Accounting module.
Path: Accounting > Accounts Settings
Invoice Cancellation #
Unlink Payment on Cancellation of Invoice
If checked, the system will unlink the payment against the respective invoice. By default, if a Payment Entry is submitted, the linked invoice cannot be canceled until the Payment Entry is also canceled. On unlinking, you can now cancel and amend the invoices. But the payments are not linked and are considered advance payments.
Unlink Advance Payment on Cancellation of Order
Like the previous option, this unlinks any advance payments made against Purchase/Sales Orders.
Delete Accounting and Stock Ledger Entries on deletion of Transaction
Enabling this will allow the deletion of linked General Ledger and Stock Ledger Entries on deleting invoices and receipts. This can be checked if you don’t want to lose the document ID after canceling the document. You can now cancel and delete the document to get the same document ID again.
Invoicing Features #
Check Supplier Invoice Number Uniqueness
If checked, Purchase Invoices with the same ‘Supplier Invoice No’ will not be allowed. This is useful to avoid duplicate entries.
Automatically Fetch Payment Terms from Order
Enabling this will automatically fetch the Payment Terms from a Purchase/Sales Order to its linked Purchase/Sales Invoice.
Enable Common Party Accounting
If checked, an adjustment Journal Entry will be posted automatically on the creation of Sales/Purchase Invoices against common Customers & Suppliers.
Allow multi-currency invoices against single party account
Enabling this will allow the creation of multi-currency invoices against single-party accounts in company currency.
Report Setting #
Enable Custom Cash Flow Format
You may choose to use Custom Cash Flow Formats to customize what the Cash Flow report looks like.
Deferred Accounting Settings #
Book Deferred Entries Based On
The deferred revenue amount can be booked based on two criteria. The default option here is “Days”. If “Days” is selected, the deferred revenue amount will be booked based on the number of days in each month and if “Months” is selected, then it will be booked based on the number of months. For E.g.: If “Days” is selected and $12,000 revenue must be deferred over a period of 12 months, then $986.30 will be for the month having 30 days and $1,019.17 will be booked for the month having 31 days. If “Months” is selected, $1,000 deferred revenue will be booked each month irrespective of the number of days in a month.
Automatically Process Deferred Accounting Entry
This setting is enabled by default. In case you don’t want the deferred accounting entries to be posted automatically you can disable this setting. If this setting is disabled deferred accounting will have to be processed manually using “Process Deferred Accounting”.
Book Deferred Entries Via Journal Entry
By default, Ledger Entries are posted directly to book deferred revenue against an invoice. To book this deferred amount posting via Journal Entry, this option can be enabled.
Tax Settings #
Determine Address Tax Category From
“Tax category” can be set on Addresses. An address can be a Shipping or Billing address. Set which address to select when applying for Tax Category.
Automatically Add Taxes and Charges from Item Tax Template
Enabling this will populate the Taxes table in transactions if an “Item Tax Template” is set for an Item and that Item is selected in the transaction.
Print Settings #
Show Inclusive Tax In Print
The applied taxes will be shown in the print view.
Show Payment Schedule in Print
The Payment Schedule table is visible on using “Payment Terms”. Enabling this will show this table in print view.
Currency Exchange Settings #
Allow Stale Exchange Rates
This should be unchecked if you want ERP to check the age of records fetched from Currency Exchange in foreign currency transactions. If it is unchecked, the exchange rate field will be read-only in documents. Stale Days is the number of days to use when deciding if a Currency Exchange record is stale. This is valid when ‘Allow Stale Rates’ is disabled. So, if the Stale Days is set as 10, stale rates that are 10 days will be allowed. If Allow Stale Rates is enabled, there is no time limit on the age of stale rates. If stale rates are enabled, the order of fetching is: Latest rate from Currency Exchange formIf no Currency Exchange is found latest rate as per market is fetched automatically If stale rates are disabled, the order of fetching is: Latest rate from Currency Exchange form up to the number of days set in ‘Stale Days’If no Currency Exchange is found Latest rate as per market is fetched automatically.
Credit Limit Settings #

Role Allowed to Over Bill
Users with this role are allowed to overbill above the allowance percentage.
Role allowed to bypass Credit Limit
