Installation

This module is included with the Dolibarr distribution, so there is no need to install it.

To use this module, you must first enable it using an administrator account, via the menu option "Home - Setup - Modules".

Choose the tab where the module is listed. Then click on "Activate".

The module is now activated.

If a cog icon appears   on module thumb or at end of the line of the module, click on it to access the setup page specific to the module.

GENERAL

This module's general configuration page allows you to :

Adjust global options

 

Adjust binding options

 

Activate the accounting lettering function

Lettering allows you to associate entries from the same account. In dolibarr, lettering can be used for customer or supplier account only.

For v2 lettering (as it's known internally), it currently only works on sub-ledger accounts. It is planned to work on an evolution (lettering v3) to take over G/L account lettering on the accounts you define.

Lettering V2 feature requires version 17.0.3 of Dolibarr to activate lettering :

 


Default accounts

After setting up your chart of accounts you have to tell Dolibarr to use them.

Warning: Make sure you have different accounts for the top 3 accounts from the ones at the bottom or else all the reports will be mixed/wrong.

 

Journals

Set up your custom journals. Here is an example including a special journal for Upwork "bank" account, taxes and an equity insert/take out.

 

VAT accounts

Setup the applicable VAT rates and accounts for your country.

 

Tax accounts

Setup the account from which you pay your tax.

 

Export options

Change these if needed.
