System Configuration is the nerve centre of your CifraHQ Setup. It collects every configurable option — email delivery, sales and purchasing defaults, GL account mappings, Inventory settings, and third-party integrations — into a single navigable tree so you can find and adjust what you need without hunting through multiple menus.
Go to Setup > System > Configuration.
The left panel shows a hierarchical tree of setting categories. Click a folder to expand it, then click a leaf node to open its settings in the right panel. Each setting saves the moment you change it — there is no separate Save button.
Every field shows a Changes... link. Click it to open the full audit history for that setting — who changed it, what it was before, and when.
| Category | What it controls |
|---|---|
| SMTP server, sender address, and default email body templates for outgoing documents | |
| Sales | Default Payment Terms, invoice due day, and sales tax defaults applied to new transactions |
| Purchasing | Default vendor Payment Terms and purchase order approval thresholds |
| Inventory | Cost method (FIFO or Average), and low-stock thresholds for reorder alerts |
| Accounts | Default GL accounts for AR, AP, sales revenue, and Inventory — the fallback when a product group has no account assigned |
| Integration | Third-party API keys and synchronization options |
By default, product cost is shown with 2 decimal places, so a very small unit cost (for example 0.0015) rounds to 0.00 on screen. If you buy or sell items priced in fractions of a cent, open Business > Inventory > Products and set Number of decimals to show for product cost to the precision you need (up to 6).
This controls how cost is displayed and entered on the product detail page, the Products list, and production orders. It does not change any stored value (the underlying cost is unchanged), and it applies only to your tenant. Leave it at 2 for normal pricing.
