Docs Master Data Master Data

Master Data

Master data is accessed through the Administration hub. It covers the reference records that transactions depend on — parties, items, accounts, tax categories, units, and more.

Parties

Customers, suppliers, and combined party records.

See Parties for full details.

Items

Products and services catalogue including pricing, tax assignments, and GL accounts.

See Items for full details.

Item Categories

Go to Administration → Item Categories to group items into categories. Categories can be used for filtering and reporting. Each item can be assigned to one category.

Price Levels

Go to Administration → Price Levels to define tiered selling prices. Once created, price levels can be assigned to parties or selected on transactions to automatically fill the selling price.

Chart of Accounts

The GL account structure used across all transactions.

See Chart of Accounts for full details.

Units of Measure

Go to Administration → Units of Measure to define the units used on item lines (pcs, kg, box, hour, etc.). A unit is required on every item.

Tax Categories

Go to Administration → Tax Categories to define sales tax rates.

Tax categories are entirely user-defined. You create them with whatever name and rate applies to your country's regulations — there is no built-in country-specific tax logic. Examples:

Name Rate Example use
Standard Rate 20% UK VAT
GST 10% Australia
Reduced Rate 5% EU reduced VAT
Exempt 0% Zero-rated goods
No Tax 0% Tax-exempt transactions

Assign a default Tax Category to each item. It will be pre-filled on invoice lines and can be overridden per line.

WHT Configuration (Withholding Tax)

Go to Administration → WHT Configuration to define withholding tax rules.

Like Tax Categories, WHT entries are user-defined. Name them to match your local payroll or income tax rules. Each WHT record defines the rate at which tax is withheld from a payment and the GL account it posts to.

Assign a default WHT category to items that are subject to withholding tax. The withheld amount is calculated automatically on invoice lines.

Locations

Requires the Multi-Location feature.

Go to Administration → Locations to define warehouse branches or storage areas. Every inventory movement (delivery, receipt, adjustment, transfer) is recorded against a specific location.

Currencies & Exchange Rates

Requires the Multi-Currency feature.

Go to Administration → Currencies to add foreign currencies, and Administration → Exchange Rates to maintain daily or periodic exchange rates. Transactions in a foreign currency are translated using the rate in effect on the transaction date.

Salesmen

Requires the Salesman feature.

Go to Administration → Salesmen to define your sales team. Salesmen can be assigned to parties and selected on sales orders and invoices for reporting.

Projects

Requires the Projects feature.

Go to Administration → Projects to create project records. Projects can be tagged on transaction lines for project-based cost and revenue tracking.

Data Tools

Import Data

Go to Administration → Import Data to bulk-import master data or opening transactions from an Excel (.xlsx) file. Use the provided template for the correct column format.

Master Data Package

Go to Administration → Master Data Package to export your complete master data set (parties, items, accounts, tax categories, etc.) as a portable file. Import it into another business to replicate the setup without re-entering everything.

Transaction Package

Go to Administration → Transaction Package to export or import posted transactions for backup and cross-edition sync.
