Main Company

The details that go into every document and print form: name, address, bank data, director. This is not a register but a single card per company — and it is what the customer sees on an invoice.

Where to find it: Modules → System → Settings → Main Company

A worked example

Company information

The Requisites tab of the demo company carries the full and short names, the address, telephone numbers, the registration and tax numbers, the director, and the bank details: account, bank and sort code.

The second tab is Taxation. Of everything filled in here, two blocks actually reach calculations and reporting: the VAT payer flag (read by Add Costs and the "Customs clearance status report": for a non-payer the row's VAT goes into the cost of the goods) and the VAT Export block — Region number and District number go into the Medok XML export (without them, or without the registration number, the export will not run: "Fill in the region number, district number and registration number in the company card"), while Region and District only reach the print variables.

The rest of the tab — the taxation scheme, the unified tax group and the Printable information box — is kept as company reference data, but the system computes nothing from it: these values take no part in reports or in the standard printed forms. The scheme still works as a switch inside the window: choosing "Unified tax" opens the group block, and switching to another scheme clears the chosen group. Neither the group nor — despite its name — Printable information is passed to printing: they are not among the print form's variables, so adding the field to the template alone will not print them — that takes a change to how printing is prepared.

Why this is not "just a setting"

Three reasons to fill the card in carefully:

  • print forms take the document header from here — a typo travels straight to the customer;
  • bank details are printed on the invoice people pay against;
  • in a multi-company database each company has its own card, and that is precisely what distinguishes them.

Typical situations

The address or bank changed. Correct it here: documents will print with the new details. A print form is built at the moment of printing, so an old document printed again also comes out with the new details; only files saved earlier (PDFs, attachments) stay as they were.

A different signature is needed on documents. The director's and chief accountant's names come from here too.

Several companies show identical details. That happens on a demo stand; in production it is a mistake — check which company you are working in.

A new company prints documents with an empty header. In a multi-company database a new company gets an empty card: the main company's details are not copied, and VAT payer is unticked, so Add Costs treats it as a non-payer. Fill the card in right after creating the company.

A variable prints empty. Company_OKONH, Company_BIK, Company_ANA_Code, Company_BankAccount2, Company_SortKey and Company_CEO have no field in this window — there is nowhere to fill them in. In a template use the variables of fields the window does have: bank code — Company_BankCode, director — Company_Director.

Where to look next

  • Number series — the numbering of the documents these details go on.
  • Mail texts — the covering e-mail for the document.

Values this record adds to printed form templates — its own and those of the documents that refer to it.
