Preferences

Two module switches, and the workspace defaults applied across documents and PDFs. The shortest screen in the rail and not the least consequential.

Preferences has two tabs. The first decides which modules Inventory offers at all; the second holds defaults documents and PDFs are built from.

Go to SettingsPreferences. Two tabs: Modules and Defaults.

Modules

The Modules tab of Preferences in Inventory Settings, headed Modules above the line Enable the modules you use. Disabled modules are hidden from the Inventory app. An ENABLED MODULES section holds two toggles, Picklist and Advance Invoices, both turned on. A Cancel and Save bar sits at the foot.
Two switches, not the long list the finance side carries: these are the only optional modules in Inventory.

Enabled Modules holds two switches, and only two.

The Modules tab of Preferences
FieldWhat it does
PicklistWhether picking lists are offered at all. Off hides the Picklists module and its settings tab.
Advance InvoicesWhether advance invoices are offered on the sales side.

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.

Defaults

The Defaults tab of Preferences
FieldWhat it does
Additional ChargesAdjustments and Shipping Charges. Each adds a line to the documents that offer it.
Billable Bills and ExpensesDefault Markup Percentage, applied when a cost is rebilled to a customer.
Organisation Address FormatHow your address is laid out on a PDF, built from placeholders. It changes printing only.
