General

Currency, timezone, defaults, SKU series and location codes

Organization-wide settings that everything else inherits from. Requires settings:tenant.

Regional

  • Base currency - the currency your reporting is expressed in. Warehouses can trade in others; see Multi-currency purchasing.
  • Timezone - what "today" means for reports, cutoffs and scheduled jobs.
  • Locale and date format.

Defaults

Applied to newly created records, not retrospectively:

  • Default tax rate for new items
  • Default unit for new items
  • Other defaults for new orders

Changing a default does not touch anything that already exists. Fix existing records with a bulk edit or a CSV import.

SKU number series

Turn this on and new items get a sequential SKU suggested automatically, which you can still override. Worth doing before you create your catalogue - retrofitting an SKU scheme later means changing codes that are already printed on labels and shelves.

Number series also exist for sales orders (SO-), purchase orders (PO-), shipments (SH-) and goods receipts (GR-). These are created during onboarding.

Location code format

Controls what a valid pick location looks like, and what Assign to location will accept:

FormatAcceptsExample
NumericDigits and separators2-1-1
AlphanumericLetters and digitsA-01-03
AnyAnythingwhatever you already use

Pick one that matches the labels already on your shelves. Setting it stricter than reality means valid locations get rejected at the scanner.
