  1. Basic settings – directly in this dialog (lowest priority).

The due date can then be manually overridden directly on the invoice.

Using the YES/NO toggle, you can specify whether a goods reservation should be automatically created when a received order is issued.

🔄 Automatic upon order creation and goods receipt

Using the YES/NO toggle, you can specify whether a goods reservation should be automatically created both when a received order is issued (same behavior as the previous toggle) and at the moment when incoming goods can fulfill an existing, outstanding received order.

Allow reservation into negative stock

Check this box to specify whether goods can be reserved even when stock is negative (e.g., when there is insufficient stock).
Reservations are displayed in:

Goods → Reservations

A reservation can be cancelled by:

  • deleting the order (Sales → Received Orders → Services → Create Issued Invoice),

  • or manually in the reservations list.

⚖️ Exclude automatic rounding items from VAT

This field affects the behavior of automatic rounding:

  • Unchecked: the VAT rate from the main line item of the document is applied to the rounding line.


🧩 "Document Types for Automatic Generation" Tab

ABRA Flexi can automatically create documents from other already issued documents (e.g., an order from a quote, an invoice from an order).
