Introduction

The FirstOffice system consists of several modules which interact with each other in many ways. Each module uses a number of registers, or files, in which information of a particular type is stored. For example, all information about Customers is stored in a Customer register, all information about Items is stored in an Item register and so on.

The following illustration shows the registers available in each FirstOffice module:

The integration between modules is quite straightforward. Some registers are available in more than one module, allowing you to enter information from different parts of the program. Where a register is only present in a single module, other modules can access the information stored within it. For example, the Sales, Purchase and Nominal Ledgers can all access the Chart of Accounts, stored in the Account register in the System module.

In addition to the registers, each module has several smaller files known as 'Settings'. The difference between a setting and a register lies in the frequency and nature of use. The information with which you will be working daily, such as Customers and Suppliers, Sales Orders and Invoices, tends to be stored in registers, while information stored in settings tends to be used in 'look-up' tables or used to determine the manner in which a particular function operates.
