Regions

Regions

Overview

Regions are used to streamline operations and manage processes across multiple countries with shared characteristics.

They simplify tax configurations and compliance for areas with common rules, such as the European Union, and support aggregated reporting for regional performance analysis. Regions optimize supply chain and logistics by improving inventory distribution and shipping across neighboring countries, while also enabling businesses to define regional pricing, promotions, and marketing strategies tailored to similar market conditions. They help standardize master data, such as suppliers or customer groups, and manage localization settings like language preferences and currency groupings. Additionally, regions are used to control user permissions and workflows specific to certain areas, ensuring compliance and operational efficiency across countries with shared traits.

Countries

Countries

Overview

Countries are essential for configuring location-specific settings and ensuring compliance, localization, and efficiency in global operations. The ERP contains a list of over 250 countries.

Countries cannot be added or deleted by users.

They are used to define tax rules, such as VAT and to ensure transactions align with local legal requirements. Countries standardize address data for users, customers, vendors, and internal locations, facilitating smooth shipping and billing processes.

Countries are linked with currencies for multi-currency financial operations. Additionally, they are used in global reporting, helping organizations analyze and manage performance across regions effectively.

Holidays

Holidays

Overview

Holidays in an ERP’s HR module serve as a centralized reference for public, regional, and company-specific holidays, ensuring consistency and compliance in workforce management. 

image.png

Holidays are marked on the HR dashboards with the "🎄" icon.

Holidays are used to calculate holiday pay and overtime accurately, aligns attendance and leave records by excluding holidays from leave balances, and supports staff planning during holidays. It also ensures compliance with regional labor laws and enhances transparency by allowing employees to view upcoming holidays through the calendar on their profile page

image.png

Every holiday, eg. "New Year’s Day" consists of a date and full holiday name, streamlining holiday-related processes across HR functions.

Holidays

Create new holiday

This action requires the "create holiday" permission.

New holiday entries can be added through the "Create new holiday" form, which can be found above the "holidays" table or directly "here".

When adding a new holiday, the only information needed are the holiday's name and the date it falls on in a given year.

Holidays

Update existing holiday

This action requires the "update holiday" permission.

Holidays should not be updated due to their use within the HR module. Dates of existing holiday entries should not be updated, as changing the dates could impact planned employee vacations or workdays. However, holidays can be updated, if necessary.

Holidays

Delete holiday

This action requires the "delete holiday" permission

While holidays can be deleted if necessary, it is strongly recommended to avoid deletion to maintain data integrity and prevent disruptions in processes such as payroll, attendance, and compliance tracking, as well as keep accurate history of past holidays, that impacts used employee leave.

To delete a holiday, tick its checkbox in the table, then click and confirm the "delete button".

Holidays

Generate holidays for year

This action requires the "create holiday" permission.

Holidays can be added one at a time through the "Create new" form or they can be generated for the entire year through the "Add holidays for year" form.

output.gif

To generate holidays for a select year, first we have to select the year, from which we will copy the holidays, eg. 2024. We then select the year that we want to generate the holidays for, eg. 2025. Once both years are selected, a list of all holidays will appear with dates for the new year generated. You can now uncheck holidays that you don't want to generate. 

output.gif

Once you have made sure, that all the (checked) dates are correct, press the "Generate" button. This will create a list of new holidays for the selected year.

New holidays must be added for every year, as they are required for handling vacations within the HR module.

Tags

Tags

Overview

Tags are used within the ERP to mark entries or to "tag" them as a certain thing for informational purposes.

Tags are used to categorize announcements,  mark EOL products, setup product hierarchies, shown in price lists...

Create a new tag

New tags can be added through the "Create new tag" form or with the "Tag editor" tool. 

Create form

When a new category for tags is required, a new tag with that category can be crated with the "create" form.

Tag editor

Tags

Any further editing has to be done from the tag details page.

Editing on details page

On the details page, all of a tag's data can be edited, from its name and description, to its type. A tag can also be nested from this page under any selected parent tag.

The details page also provides an editable list of all products and work resources, that have been tagged with this particular tag. 

Tag configurator data

If a tag is associated with a product, that is part of a price list, then its Configurator data can also be edited in the details page, in the "configurator data" section.

Delete tag(s)

Tags can be deleted in the tag editor or from the table view by users with proper permissions.

In the tag editor, the "x" symbol next to the tag name can be used to delete it.

Tags with existing sub-tags cannot be deleted in the tag editor.

output.gif

To delete a tag via the table view, search for it, tick its checkbox, then click and confirm the trash button.

Tags

Using tags

Tags are, in most cases, meant to inform, meaning they can be assigned to entries. Once assigned, they can also be used for filtering.

Once tags are created, they can be assigned to entries through the "Tags" input.

image.png

The selection only includes tags, that are of a certain type (products can be tagged only with "product" tags...).

Tags that can be assigned here must have their type set to "other".
