Audience: Shop owners and administrators (manager panel)
Version: 1.0.0 · Date: 2026-05-31
Language: English — العربية

1. Overview

Open Settings in the manager panel sidebar.

Not in Settings: default production warehouses, scrap location, and similar options are under Production → Production settings. See the Production user guide.

Set up Settings early — items, quotes, invoices, and PDFs depend on units, currency, and branding.

2. Branding

Settings → Branding (or Company branding in the menu).

Configure:

• Business name — shown in the panel header and on branded PDFs
• Address, phone, email — used on customer-facing PDFs where supported
• Logo — PNG, JPEG, or SVG (size and format rules shown on the form)

Tips:

• Upload the logo while signed in on your shop URL (the address your team uses daily).
• After saving, the manager panel header and sales quote/invoice PDFs use the new branding.
• A queue worker must be running for PDF generation (ask your administrator).

3. Time settings

Settings → Time settings.

Configure:

• Time zone — how dates and times are interpreted for your shop
• Default language — default language for your shop (e.g. Arabic or English)
• Week starts on — for calendars and weekly views
• Date format and time format — how dates appear in the UI

Save when done. Users may still have personal locale preferences where the app supports them.

4. Currency settings

Settings → Currency settings.

Configure:

• Symbol — shown next to money fields (e.g. EGP, USD)
• Exchange rate — as required by your setup
• Depreciation category — used when recalculating machine depreciation overheads

Recalculate machine depreciation rates (header button) runs a background update for production overhead costs for the current month. Use after changing currency or category defaults, or when advised by your administrator.

5. Units of measure

Settings → Units.

Root units

1. Open Units and create a root unit (full name, short name).
2. Open Edit on a root unit to manage the unit tree and child units.

Child units

• A root unit may have child units with a conversion factor (e.g. roll → square metres).
• Only one level of children is allowed (no nested chains).

Category restrictions

On Inventory → Categories, you can limit which units are allowed for items in that category. See the Inventory user guide.

6. Taxes

Settings → Taxes.

1. Create a tax: name and value.
2. Toggle Is ratio (percentage) or fixed amount in your currency symbol.
3. Enable or disable taxes on the list as needed.

Taxes are applied on sales and purchase documents when your process adds tax lines (permissions on those modules).

7. Discounts

Settings → Discounts.

Same pattern as taxes:

• Name and value
• Discount ratio — percentage when on; fixed currency amount when off

Use on commercial documents through your sales/purchases workflow.

8. Permissions

Settings pages and resources are permission-gated. If a menu item is missing, ask your administrator to grant access to:

• Branding, Time, Currency settings pages
• Units, Taxes, Discounts resources

Role changes are under Users → Roles.
