Organisation Settings
Organisation Settings allow you to configure various settings related to your CartonCloud account.
For settings within the Organisation Settings that relate to Customers, it should be noted that these should be thought of as "Default Settings". If a Customer then has the same setting configured within their customer setting, the corresponding organisation setting will be overwritten.
Only CartonCloud Administrators can access and update these settings.
For an introduction to Organisation Settings and the steps to follow when first setting up your CartonCloud account and your Organisation Settings, follow along with our CEO Vincent in the below video.

Basic Organisation Information
This is the information about your company. Changing the Nickname to something shorter is helpful when the full company is long such as "Company Name Brisbane Pty Ltd".
Currency
Update this setting to your businesses operating currency.
Logos
Allows you to upload a logo which will then be used on document templates which use the organisation logo. For example, Consignment Notes, Sale Orders and Proof of Deliveries.
To upload a logo click Upload Logo, then choose file. Browse through your computer for the target file, select it, and click open.
We recommend using the highest quality logo you have available that falls within the 500kb size limit as it will then look as clear as possible when presented on documentation.

If you wish to update the logo in the system select this button and follow the same steps as above.
Delete Logo
If you no longer wish to have a logo uploaded against your Organisation.

| Which address should show up on the Run Sheet? | If a consignment has an Onforwarder Address, then either the Onforwarder Address or Delivery Address can be shown on the Run Sheet. |
| When performing bulk allocation, automatically check "Overwrite sorting order by adding order" | Within the Bulk Allocation screen, when allocating consignments to a Run Sheet the order of the Consignments can be set by the order in which they are selected to be added to the Run Sheet (advanced view only), bu clicking the button "Overwrite sorting order by adding order". Doing so ignores the sort order configured within the Addresses themselves. If you want this functionality to always occur, selecting this option will pre-check the box on the Bulk Allocation Page |
| Enable Auto In Transit | Consignments which are allocated to Run Sheets can be configured to automatically go to "In Transit" status at a certain time each day, for example, 7am. Once enabled two further settings will appear as described below. Only Run Once Per Day - Once turned on, you can configure the Auto In-Transit Time, for example, 06:00:00 for 6am. Auto In-Transit Time - If only run once per day is enabled, the system will only update jobs to In Transit at the time specified above. If this is disabled then any job allocated to a Delivery Run Date throughout the day after the Auto In Transit time will be updated to "In Transit" status. This is useful if you're continually allocating more work throughout the day. |

Sale Orders Configurations
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Default Sale Order Pack List Format | The style of the Sale Order Pack List that's exported, picking from either pre-built templates or customisable templates: Default XLS Format - Pre-defined excel sheet template which shows each Sale Order Product on its own line Default PDF Format - Select this format if you wish to set your own customer Document Templates |
| Sale Order Statuses on which overriding pre-existing Sale Order is allowed on upload | When importing a Sale Order via Parser (see: Parsers), by default a duplicate Sale Order (same reference) will only override an existing Sale Order if the Sale Order is Rejected. However, the statuses which allow overriding can be configured here.
By enabling other statuses, Sale Orders in those statuses will be overwritten if another file is imported with the same Reference (and for the same customer). When a Sale Order is overwritten, it will be deleted from the system, and a new Sale Order will be created with the updated details to replace it. For example: Sale Order ID 145 exists in the system and is in a rejected status. A new Sale Order is parsed in with an identical reference number. Sale Order with ID 145 is then deleted and a new sale order is generated using the parsed in data, it is assigned a new ID by the system. |
| Mobile App Configuration | Prevent Sale Orders from being finished if products exist that have not been packed yet: Stops packers from being able to "finish packing" a Sale Order that has some products whose expected quantities haven't been confirmed packed yet. By default, this is allowed and will automatically set all products of the Sale Order to the expected packed quantity, even if they have not yet been confirmed in the app. Enforce Strict Process: Packers will be required to first scan a location, then a product to confirm its quantity. They can not simply select a product from the Sale Order's product list and confirm its quantity. See: Enforce Strict Processes For Packing And Putaway Enforce Adhoc Charges before completing Pick: by enabling this setting, the adhoc charges screen will show before completing the pick and will prompt you to record any adhoc charges if necessary. |
| Sort Pick/Pack List by Warehouse Locations Pick Order | Within CartonCloud it is possible to create an order within your Warehouse Locations that you wish to pick Sale Orders by. This requires you to update the pick_order field on each Warehouse location to assign it a numbered order in respect to all other locations that you wish to pick it by. Products will then display on Sale Orders in the order where the first row is the Warehouse Location with the lowest pick_order number when compared to all other warehouse locations on the Sale Order. To do this, you need to enable the Sort Pick/Pack List by Warehouse Locations Pick Order setting. For more information: Setting up Warehouse Locations Pick Path Sequence |
| Show Custom Fields on Sale Order Products | Custom Fields can be set up for Products. This setting allows you to control if they show on Sale Order Products or not. |
| Copy Sale Order Customer Invoices to Consignment | Yes - if there is a Sale Order Customer Invoice is loaded against the Sale Order, and a Consignment is created from the Sale Order, this invoice will transfer over to the Consignment. No - if there is a Sale Order Customer Invoice is loaded against the Sale Order, and a Consignment is created from the Sale Order, this invoice will NOT transfer over to the Consignment. |

| Setting | Description | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Default Purchase Order Verification List Format | The style of the Purchase Order Verification that's exported, picking from either pre-built templates or customisable templates:

Mobile App Configuration | Prevent Purchase Orders from being verified if unconfirmed quantities exist: Stops warehouse staff from being able to verify a purchase order as entered the warehouse if it contains unconfirmed product quantities. By default, this is possible and automatically confirms the product quantities with their current values, even if that means confirming a product with quantity 0. Enforce Strict Process: Warehouse staff will be required to first scan a product, then proceed with either verifying or allocating the scanned product. In the case of allocation, this requires either a location scan or a manual location search. In the case of verifying, the product quantity needs to be confirmed. See: Enforce Strict Processes For Packing And Putaway Enforce Adhoc Charges before completing Receiving: by enabling this setting, the adhoc charges screen will show before completing receiving and will prompt you to record any adhoc charges if necessary. |
