Preferences

The switches that decide which modules Finance offers at all, and the workspace defaults applied across documents, emails and PDFs.

Preferences is the widest-reaching screen in Finance settings. Its first tab decides which modules exist for everybody; its second holds the defaults documents, emails and PDFs are built from.

Go to SettingsFinancePreferences. Two tabs: Modules and Defaults.

Modules

The Modules tab of Preferences, headed Modules above the line Select the modules to enable. Disabled modules are hidden from the Finance app sidebar. An ENABLED MODULES section groups toggles under INVENTORY (Inventory Adjustments), SALES (Quotes, Sales Orders, Credit Notes, Recurring Invoices, Advance Invoices), PURCHASES (Expenses, Recurring Expenses, Purchase Orders, Recurring Bills, Vendor Credits) and FILING & COMPLIANCE (Tax Filing, Tax Payments). Every toggle is turned on. A Cancel and Save bar sits at the foot.
Every switch here removes a sidebar entry, a settings tab and a template category at once.

Enabled Modules is a switch per module, grouped under Inventory, Sales, Purchases and Filing & Compliance. Turning one off hides it from the Finance sidebar.

Turning a module off hides it; it does not delete anything. Records already raised stay in the database and come back when the module is turned on again.

Inventory in Finance

Enable Inventory modules in Finance is one switch in front of a group of them: packages, shipments, picklists, stock transfers, returns and purchase receives. Expand Enabled Modules beneath it to see exactly which screens it brings in, named as the sidebar names them.

PriceMesh

Where your organisation has PriceMesh, a PriceMesh section appears on this tab with one switch, Show Stock Price List in Vendor Details. Turning it on adds a Stock Prices tab to vendor detail pages. Organisations without PriceMesh do not see the section.

Defaults
