TenderPro Settings
Settings configures TenderPro for how your business runs contracts — which ledger accounts deposits and deductions post to, who may change what, and which roles hear about requests from the field. It is the first screen to visit on a new installation.
Where to find it
Go to TenderPro > Settings.
Ledger accounts
| Setting | What it controls |
|---|---|
| EMD SD Payable | Where earnest money and security deposits are held while the client has them. |
| EMD/SD Refunded Interest GL | Where interest paid on a released deposit is recorded. |
| Bill Deduction Category | The categories a client's deduction can be classified under. |
Permissions and behaviour
| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| Allow LOA Edit | Whether an award can be changed after it is recorded. Safer off once billing has started. |
| Change Any Project Status | Whether users can move a project to any status, or only forward through the sequence. |
| Allow Negative Stock Material movements | Whether material can be sent to site when the store shows insufficient stock. |
| EMD Setup | The default behaviour for earnest money on new projects. |
Leave Allow Negative Stock off. Contract sites will always ask for material faster than the store can receive it, and allowing the transfer anyway means the stock figure stops meaning anything within a month.
Notification roles
| Setting | Who it notifies |
|---|---|
| Expense (reimbursement) alerts → role | The role that approves site expense claims. |
| Material Indent / Return alerts → role | The role that handles material requests. |
| Portal Notification Roles | Who hears about requisitions raised from the field. |
| All users (broadcast) | Sends to everyone rather than a role. |
| Days / Any Time | When alerts are allowed to go out. |
Reference data
The rest of the setup is in its own screens: Regions, Circles, Districts, Vehicle Details, Activity Types, Hindrance Reasons and Expenses.
