Open ERP

Company Management

Maintain companies, system configuration and account sub-groups with care, because these settings affect daily ERP work.

Companies and system settings

The Companies menu is available only to administrator users. Companies represent the organisation, head office or branches inside one tenant. Verify the active company and financial year before importing, posting or reporting data.

  • Create New Company: add a company for the tenant.

  • System Configuration: manage the tenant’s system configuration settings.
  • Account Sub Group: manage account sub-group definitions.
