Settings and profile
Notification settings
Switch individual purchase, sales and inventory alerts on or off for your own account, so you hear about the events you are responsible for.
Updated 12 September 2026
Notification settings decide which events you are alerted about. Each user account has its own settings, so an approver and a data entry clerk can each receive a different set.
Open it
Open Settings and profile from the bottom of the left navigation panel, then select Notifications.
The settings are split into three tabs: Purchase Notification, Sales Notification and Inventory Notification. Each tab lists events, and each event has a toggle (an on and off switch).
Purchase notifications
You can be alerted when a purchase order, purchase bill, debit note or goods received note is created, updated, approved or voided (cancelled). There is also an alert for supplier payment.
Sales notifications
You can be alerted when a sales order, sales invoice or credit note is created, updated, approved or voided. There is also an alert for customer payment.
Inventory notifications
You can be alerted when an inventory adjustment, requisition or stock issue is created, updated, approved or voided. There is also an alert for stock in transit settled.
How to choose
Turn on alerts for the work you are responsible for, and turn off the rest. If you turn everything on, you will get too many alerts and stop reading them.
These three set-ups work well.
If you approve documents, turn on the created events for the documents you approve, so you know when something is waiting. Leave the approved and voided events off, because you are the person doing them.
If you look after the stock, turn on the inventory alerts, especially adjustment approved, stock issue approved and stock in transit settled. These three tell you when quantities changed while you were elsewhere.
If you look after the money, turn on supplier payment, customer payment, purchase bill approved and sales invoice approved. Leave the created and updated events off.
How it behaves
- Each notification has its own on and off toggle.
- An enabled toggle triggers the alert; a disabled one stops it.
- Settings apply to your account only.
- Changes are saved as you make them.
Where the alerts appear
Enabled events show up in the notification bell in the top navigation bar and on the full notifications page. There you can filter them by module and date range and mark them as read. See Read and manage notifications.
