    • Maintain Original Currency Code in G/L Entry - when activated, this feature includes the original currency code and amount in G/L entries.
    • Use Ledger Entry Comments - when activated, you gain the ability to utilize comment lines in all ledger entries. This is especially useful if you wish to add explanations for open entries, such as discrepancies between payments and invoices requiring further investigation.
    • Use VAT Key Codes - activating VAT key codes allows for the automatic population of VAT fields.
    • Use Fast Posting - when activated, you can employ predefined accounting rules by utilizing a specific keyword in journals.
    • Print Alternating Shading - when you activate alternating shading, it shades alternate lines in a subtle grey, significantly improving the legibility and focus on individual lines.
