Welcome to Unleashed! This guide will walk you through the essential setup process to get your inventory management system ready for use. The Setup Wizard ensures your account is properly configured before you begin processing transactions, helping you avoid common issues and ensuring smooth operations from day one.
Getting started
When you first log into your account, you'll see the Setup Page automatically. If you need to return to this page later, navigate to Settings > Company > Setup Wizard from the main menu.
The Setup Wizard provides essential steps to configure your account before you begin processing transactions. Complete all steps for the best experience!
Step 1: Company Details
Start by setting up your company information in Settings > Company. Some fields may already be filled in based on your registration details. This company information will be used throughout your Unleashed inventory management system.
What to do:
Go to Settings > Company.
Review all information across every tab and update information as needed.
Verify existing details are correct.
Click Save.
Critical setting - Time Zone: This determines timestamps on all your transactions, so make sure it's accurate for your location.
Step 2: Currency Configuration
Your account's base currency (Settings > Company > Details) was selected during registration and cannot be changed; this will remain your default currency permanently. Add additional currencies you plan to trade in and set the appropriate default exchange rates for each currency in Settings > System > Currency Rates.
What to do:
Go to Settings > System > Currency Rates.
Select a currency in the Currency Selection menu.
Enter a Buy and Sell Rate.
Currency rates set in your account are static and will not update automatically, but they can be edited on a per-transaction basis or updated in the Currency Rates page.
Step 3: Transaction Prefixes
Configure prefixes for your transaction references. Prefixes help organize and identify different types of transactions. Update the prefixes and next transaction numbers in Settings > System > Prefixes before creating transactions, and make it easier to migrate from your previous system.
What to do:
Go to Settings > System > Prefixes.
Update each transaction type's "Prefix" and "Next Number" to align with your previous system.
Click Save.
Step 4: Accounting Integration
Choose how to manage your accounting needs by integrating your accounting provider. The native integration options available are:
If you are not integrating with an accounting provider and using Unleashed in a standalone environment, all native accounting integrations are turned off, and no data will be exported or synced to a third party.
The Stock Movement Enquiry will provide details of the following accounting metrics:
Opening and closing stock balances.
Completed sales revenue for Profit & Loss reporting.
Completed receipts for your balance sheet, as you will need to journal these figures into your accounting system.
There is no ability to age debtors and creditors with this feature. It is assumed that if you are using Unleashed in a standalone, you will manually populate your accounting system with the above data.
Step 5: Import Your Data
The final step involves importing your existing business data.
Required imports, in this order:
