Open the Settings hub
1
Go to Settings
- Confirm the correct organization is selected in the organization switcher at the bottom of the sidebar.
- In the sidebar, open Data & Admin.
- Click Settings.
2
Choose an area or detailed setting
The hub has two sections:
- Areas — high-level setup grouped by part of the business
- Detailed settings — shortcuts to frequently used configuration screens
Org-wide vs domain setup
If a setting affects only one part of the business — for example, dunning rules for invoices — configure it under Accounts Receivable setup, not here.
Data & Admin setup
From the Settings hub, click Data & Admin to open the admin setup checklist. The page shows your progress and groups settings into four sections: master data governance, users and roles, integrations, and audit and retention.Master data governance
Track merge rules and document numbering at the organization level.
To work with master records directly, open Master Data from the sidebar under Data & Admin. See Master data for field rename and duplicate review.
Users and access
Control who can sign in to your organization and what they can do.- Click your organization name in the sidebar (bottom on desktop, top on mobile).
- Open the organization management option from the menu.
- Invite users by email or adjust access for existing users.
Integrations
- API clients — issue and scope credentials for middleware, connectors, and partner tools that read or write your data through the Partner API. See API clients.
Audit and retention
adorabl records every change to bills, invoices, orders, receipts, fulfillments, customers, suppliers, items, employees, and setup rows.- Audit log — open the organization-wide change log. Search and filter by date, person, record type, and action, then click through to the record. See Audit log and record history.
- Change log retention — coming soon: configure how long change history is kept.
Configure document numbering
Every invoice, bill, purchase order, and other document type can have its own numbering sequence. Set these up before your team creates live transactions so IDs stay consistent.1
Open Next numbers
From Data & Admin setup, click Next numbers on the checklist — or open Next Numbers from the Detailed settings section of the Settings hub.You can also go directly from the sidebar: Settings → Detailed settings → Next Numbers.
2
Add a sequence
- In Add a numbering sequence, enter a Transaction type (for example,
AR InvoiceorAP Bill). - Enter a Prefix (for example,
INV-for invoices). - Set Length — how many digits to pad (for example,
6producesINV-000001). - Set Range start and Range end to bound the sequence (for example,
1to999999). - Check the Preview to confirm the next number looks right.
- Click Add.
3
Review and edit sequences
The table lists every sequence for your organization. For each row you can see:
Click Edit to change a sequence, or delete one you no longer need.Numbers are assigned when a transaction is posted or submitted, not when a draft is saved. Drafts display as Draft invoice, Draft bill, and so on, so abandoned drafts never leave gaps in the sequence.
