How to access Company Settings
To get to the Company Settings page, you can click the cogwheel icon to the left of your company name from the AutoEntry homepage:
Alternaitvely, you can select the Company Settings button on the left hand side of the company homepage:
On the left hand side of the Company Settings page, you will see headings for the following:
1. Company Details
Billing A/c shows the email address of the billing user associated with the company.
Company Name allows you to edit the company name. If integrated with an accounts package this name must match the name of the company within that package.
Company Location shows the home country of the company.
Currency shows the base currency for the company. AutoEntry will automatically convert foreign currency invoices back to this home currency. If integrated with an accounts package or if files have already been uploaded to this company, this setting cannot be changed. If you need to change the currency, we would recommend creating a new company and making sure to assign the correct base currency upon creation. Any invoices/bills already uploaded to the original company can then be moved to the new company. The original company can then be deleted.
Date Format shows the date format to be used when publishing invoices.
2. Accounting Settings
Reference in Accounting Software controls what reference number is used for invoices when published to your accounting software.
Invoice Number uses the invoice number extracted from the invoice.
An AutoEntry Id is an individual number created by AutoEntry for each invoice.
Turning on Suggested Supplier/Customer Accounts means that AutoEntry will compare the name of the invoice as extracted to the list of suppliers imported from your accounting software. If it finds a match, AutoEntry will fill in the supplier/customer account automatically with that account.
Suggested Supplier/Customer Accounts by AutoEntry will be highlighted by the blue tab in the corner of the supplier/customer field.
