How to Edit Accounts of an Organization [Step-by-step guide]

When an Account has been created, you will need to edit it to finish the setup.

Editing can also be used to update Account configurations.

This article details how to do both.

NOTE: Only system administrators (not regular administrator users) can modify this setting.

To do so, you will have to:

1. Click Organizations under System Settings

2. Press Edit on the row of the Organization you will work with 

3. Select the Accounts tab

4. Press Edit button 

5. Define the fields accordingly depending on the section:

• Main: Name of the account, to identify it in lists
  • Organization: Non-editable
  • Name: Name of the account, for display in lists
  • Code: Code of the account, for the system to reference it
  • API Key: Non-editable, API Key if external interaction is required
  • Time zone: Time zone of the account
    
    
    NOTE: The Time zone will be used to convert the UTC date of the events to the selected Time Zone. Read-only and editable fields like event, messages and synchronization dates for Shipments, Channels, etc. are reflected in selected the Local Time zone, as well as 

    
    

  • License Type: By Default it's Standard, which includes all features. If you wish to downgrade to Basic (no rules) you can do so from here; to ensure which features are included, you can review so here: techOMS Specifications Sheet [Information]
    
    
  • Unit of Measurement
    • Size: Define the Unit of Measurement you will use for the linear size (inch, cm, etc.)
    • Weight: Define the Unit of Measurement you will use for the weight (lb, kg, carat, etc.)
      
      

      WARNING: Depending on the system you're using, the behavior and available combinations are different, make sure you verify How Units of Measurement work in techOMS [Information] first. 

      
      

  • Workflow Settings
    • Default warehouse: Select the Warehouse that will be used by default
    • Enable Automatic Sales Workflow: Allows to determine if Sales Orders workflow will work in automatic or manual mode
    • Enable Automatic Purchase Order Workflow: Allows to determine if Purchase Orders workflow will work in automatic or manual mode
    • Enable Inventory Real-Time updates: Set up as Yes by default, it will push an inventory adjustment to ALL sales channels when a product's inventory level is adjusted in techOMS, including:

      - Manual inventory level modification

      - Inventory modification from an update received from a channel

      - Order allocation

      
      
      NOTE: This feature is specially useful for multiple sales channels because when stock is sold in one, all the others get notified. 

      WARNING: If only one sales channel will be used, keep this setting set to No. The recurring job to update inventory should be enough in this case, avoiding a high volume of API calls and not affecting performance.
