Company Preferences 

The Company Preferences section displays various global settings for your company. While you cannot edit the information in this section, you are able to see the manner in which each setting is configured. A brief description appears next to each setting. 

The Company Preferences section contains the following settings:

  • Visa/MasterCard Fee Percent - Used on the Cashflow report and custom reporting
  • AMEX Fee Percent - Used on the Cashflow report and custom reporting.
