System Settings in Ascora allows you to configure a few key settings such as activating auto numbering for quotes, jobs, and invoices, connect your Email Account, as well as set up automatic supplier invoice import as well as 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 onwards are the ones created in Ascora.
Note: You can set up prefixes and initial numbers for other key 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.
This is important as it impacts reporting and tracking of invoices.
