System Settings

System Settings in Ascora allows you to configure a few key settings such as activating auto numbering for Customer and Equipment, setting up prefix and initial number for your invoices, connect your Email Account, as well as setting up automatic supplier invoice import and  automatic job import.

To access system settings, go to Administration → System Settings.

Auto Numbering

You can choose to set up prefixes and initial numbers in areas like Invoices so that you can easily track your invoices once you start using Ascora.

For example, you may set up an invoice prefix ASC and initial number 500 which means that invoices with number series ASC500 up are the ones created in Ascora.

Note: You can also  set up prefixes and initial numbers for other areas such as Quotes, Jobs, and Purchase Orders.

Audit Log

Audit Log shows a record of changes made around numbering areas.

In the following example highlighted in yellow, a record shows that Invoice prefix and initial number was last changed by user Courtney Smith on 2 October 2020.

It is important to track changes as it impacts reporting and tracking of invoices.
