In this page you can set some of the running settings or options for your company.

To access the Settings, click on the Account Book Setting > Settings.

There are 3 main categories in the Settings page – General, Invoicing and Accounting. Each category has its own breakdown to properly classified the available settings and options to that you can find them easily.

General

Application Settings

Date Format: Select your preferred date format display.

Use live-stock balance in all financial report: Tick this if you wish the system to auto calculate your stock opening and closing value for each month in financial report.

*Enabling this option means that any editing, new or delete of stock related transactions, it will affect your financial report immediately. If you are attempting to compare a financial report that was printed earlier but did some editing later, the reported value might be different.

Decimals

This section allows you to set your preferred decimals for numerical values that you can see in the system. Currently you can set for the following type of numerical values: Quantity, Sales Unit Price, Purchase Unit Price, Cost, Percentage, Currency and Currency Rate.

Display fixed size decimal: Tick this if you wish to see a fix size numerical number. Untick this if you wish to truncate or not show the 0 value of the decimals

Example on how Decimals setting works:

As you can see from the examples on the table, if you did not tick the “Display fixed size decimal”, any 0(s) will be truncate or cut off and vice versa. Showing a number 1.238 and 1.2380 is the same meaning, so this will depend on your viewing preference to decide if this option you want to enable or not.
