GENERAL SETTINGS

    1. GENERAL:
    • Automatic reminders: When this switch is activated the system will send a reminder every seven days as soon as an invoice has been expired for two days;
    • Currency before amount: When this switch is activated the currency sign will be put before the amount on the generated pdf files.
    1. NUMBERING:

Here you can change the numbering of your documents. The number you enter in the field will be used as the number for the next document of this type that you create.

If you use the following numbering: IV-2024-001 you can enter the year in the middle and the last sequence will be the number that automatically increases with each new document created. When a new calendar year begins, you can manually change the middle sequence for the year number to start again at invoice 001, for example: IV-2025-001.

You can also use other structures and characters, such as: F2024_01 or 2024/0001

As a result, it is no longer sufficient for cybercriminals to only obtain your login credentials and password to hack your account, ensuring significantly better security for your account.
