Your company record (System Setup → Companies; your administrator sees their own company) is the company's identity card and its control panel in one. Its profile section holds the name, the short company code that prefixes your place in the system, contact details, the default currency — the currency your books are kept in, sometimes called your functional currency — and your logo. The same section carries the localization profile of §0.6 — country, state/province, timezone override, and date format — with the timezone currently in force named on the form, so what you see is always what the company's clocks are using.
Three implications worth understanding:
- The default currency is foundational. Every report, every total, every balance is ultimately expressed in it. Foreign-currency documents convert into it at their frozen rates. It is chosen at setup and is, in practice, permanent — treat it as you would your company's legal name.
- The logo works in two places. It heads your printed documents and exports — the identity your customers and suppliers see. Keep it current; a replaced logo applies to the next print, including prints of older documents.
- Most of this chapter lives here. The modules, the switches of §0.6, the print preferences, and the defaults your documents start from (such as how long a sales order remains valid) are all fields on this one record, organised in tabs: Profile (the company's identity, its logo, and its default colour theme), Defaults, Features (the switches of §0.6 and the module toggles), Integrations (the connector keys), AI & Capture (the AI analyst, the AI managers of §0.6, and document capture), Printing, and Documents. It is worth your administrator reading it top to bottom once, slowly — it is the shortest complete description of how your company has chosen to run.
