System options

Overview

System options are settings that are used by the administrators to customize the ERP system.

These options should only be managed by people, who understand their purpose and context, as changing a key option could lead to severe issues within the ERP, if done wrong.

These settings can range from the primary color of the web site to a predefined greeting on auto-generated documents.
