Configuration

Configuration in ERPLY Books Accounting Software. ERPLY Books is an accounting software that is constantly improving: our development team makes changes every week in order to make customers’ life easier. You can find most of the rules in ERPLY Books software in “Settings” > “Configuration”. This manual explains the meaning of these rules and settings and gives recommendations when you should use these.

You can change, remove and add all the settings whenever you like. If you have made all the needed changes, then save and log out and in. Then the added settings will take effect.

Settings

Currency – add a currency that you use on your account.
Default overdue (% in a day) – interest for a late payment that your debtors will pay.
Days to deadline – If you create an invoice in ERPLY Books and you don’t determine a deadline, then the system creates automatic deadline (amount of days that you set here).

Customer’s card rules are higher than configuration rules.
