A module is a whole area of BlossomERP: Sales, Procurement, Inventory, Products, Accounts (Financials), People, Manufacturing, Aquaculture, Donations, Marketplace, Time Tracking, CRM.
Two modules are the core and can never be switched off: Financials (the books) and Products (the catalogue). Everything else is optional, and every company chooses its own set.
Modules obey three rules you can rely on:
- Dependencies are handled for you. Some modules need others — Manufacturing and Aquaculture need Inventory, for example, and Time Tracking needs People and Sales. Switch a module on and anything it requires is switched on with it. A module cannot be switched off while another switched-on module depends on it; the application will refuse and tell you why.
- Off means invisible, not broken. A switched-off module's menus, screens, and reports disappear entirely — for everyone, including administrators. If a screen you are looking for is missing, a module being off is the first thing to check.
- Off never deletes. Switching a module off hides it. Its data is kept, and switching it back on restores everything — screens, history, and your team's permissions — exactly as it was.
Modules are chosen in the wizard and can be changed any time afterwards by your company administrator (System Setup → Workflow & modules). Because a module brings whole new areas of work with it, switching one on is usually followed by a visit to Setup Progress, which gains the new module's setup steps automatically.
- Saving something else never switches a module off. Changing an unrelated setting — the AI options on the company record, say — leaves your module choices exactly as they were. A module only changes when somebody changes it on a module switch.
- Every switch is recorded. The Workflow & modules page ends with a Recent module changes list naming who switched each module on or off, and when — so if a module is ever unexpectedly off, the save that did it can be found in seconds.
