Entry Settings
Entry Settings give the business owner fine-grained control over how entries (sales, purchases, payments) are created and modified. This is especially important when you have staff members โ you may want to prevent them from creating back-dated entries (to avoid tampering), restrict editing of old invoices (to protect finalized records), hide profit margins (to protect your cost information), and lock item prices (to prevent unauthorized discounts). These controls ensure data integrity and protect your business from accidental or intentional errors.
Steps
- Navigate to Settings > Entry Setting.
- Toggle Back-date Entry: Allow or restrict creating entries with past dates (separate settings for owner and staff). Restricting this prevents staff from altering the timeline of transactions.
- Toggle Edit Old Entries: Allow or restrict modifying entries after creation. Useful for protecting finalized invoices from changes.
- Toggle Remark Option: Show/hide the remarks field in entries.
- Set Default Payment Mode: Cash or Credit for new entries.
- Toggle Hide Profit from Staff: Prevent staff from seeing profit margins. Protects your cost information.
- Toggle Price Editing for Staff: Allow/restrict staff from changing item prices. Prevents unauthorized discounts.
- Toggle Payment-in Entry for Operator: Allow sales operators to record payment receipts.
Tip: Start with restrictive settings for staff and only loosen permissions as needed. It is easier to grant access later than to undo unauthorized changes.
Common Questions
Yes, go to Settings > Entry Setting and toggle off 'Edit Old Entries' for staff. This prevents staff from modifying finalized invoices, protecting your records from accidental or intentional changes. You can also separately control back-date entry permissions for both owner and staff accounts.
Restricting back-dated entries prevents staff from creating transactions with past dates, which could be used to manipulate records (e.g., recording a sale on a date when the business was closed, or hiding today's sales). This is an important security control for maintaining accurate and trustworthy business records.
