# Settings

At **Configuration → Settings** you manage the basic settings of your administration. Here you determine, among other things, how Powerall works for sales, purchasing, VAT, accounting, and documents.

Only adjust these settings if your setup or working method changes. Some choices have an immediate effect on new invoices, bookings, and reports.

### Company logo

Here you manage the logo of your administration. Powerall uses this logo on documents such as quotations and invoices.

### Terms of delivery

Here you set the standard terms of delivery. You can have these sent automatically with quotations and sales invoices. You can either send the terms of delivery as a separate file, or merge them with the document.

### General

Here you enter the basic details of your administration. Think of company information and settings that determine how Powerall recognizes and uses your administration. Here you can also indicate whether you want to search for relations in the Dutch Chamber of Commerce register (KvK) and/or the Belgian CBE register (Crossroads Bank for Enterprises). 

### Languages

Here you determine which languages are available within your administration. Here you can indicate which languages you want to use for external documents.

### Sales

Here you configure the default settings for sales and invoicing. Think of how prices are entered, how invoices are sent, and which payment terms apply by default.

Where needed, you can also set up financial links here, such as accounts for discounts or small differences.

See also [Peppol](/en/accounts-receivable/sales-invoices/peppol.md) and [Layouts](/en/configuration/layouts.md).

### Purchasing

Here you manage settings for processing purchasing. This mainly concerns the financial handling of differences and standard postings.

### Financial general

Here you set up the basics of your accounting. Think of periods, opening balances, interim accounts, and default accounts for receivables and payables.

These settings are important for correct financial processing.

See also [General ledger accounts](/en/financial/general-ledger-accounts.md).

### VAT

Here you determine how VAT is processed within your administration. You set, among other things, the filing period and link the correct VAT accounts to the return.

If you work with specific schemes, such as machine sales, you can also record them here.

See also [VAT return (+ ICP)](/en/financial/vat-return.md).

### Payment reminders

Here you set how Powerall handles payment reminders. For example, you determine whether reminders are sent automatically and how they are structured.

### Items

Here you manage general settings for items and stock. For example, whether Powerall should keep track of stock within the administration.

See also [Items](/en/parts/items.md).

### Work orders

Here you determine how work orders are built up financially and administratively. Think of merging lines and the way amounts are calculated.

### Machines

Here you manage additional settings for machine-related administration. Use this if machines have a specific role in your processes or financial processing.

### Important actions

At the top you will also find actions to reset or delete an administration. Use these only if you are sure what the consequences are.
