 **Own code for electronic invoices** The code that customers must have for your organisation in their copy of mSupply. This code is added to invoices you export, and allows customers to import the invoice into their system automatically. **Own code for electronic invoices** The code that customers must have for your organisation in their copy of mSupply.

 An example of where turning on this option might be useful is when you store your mSupply data on a file server, and allow multiple single-user copies of mSupply to access the same data file. In such a situation to have 2 users attempt to access the data simultaneously would be disastrous. An example of where turning on this option might be useful is when you store your mSupply data on a file server, and allow multiple single-user copies of mSupply to access the same data file.

-**Item codes must be unique** When this box is checked, mSupply will ensure that each new item entered has a unique code.<WRAP center round important 60%> +**Allow users to attach documents after transactions have been finalised** 
-It was likely never a good idea to allow two items to have the same code.  As of v5 (or earlier) this preference has been removed and mSupply should not allow two items to have the same code. +When this box is checked, mSupply will allow to upload documents on finalised customer invoices, Supplier invoices, Purchase Order and Good receipt

-**Include catalogue code for item search** When checked, a report can be produced where the item's catalogue code is one of the search parameters.+
  
 **Currency formats** This option specifies the format in which currencies will be displayed in mSupply. We provide two preset formats for currencies with 2 decimal places and currencies with none. If you want to enter a custom format you can change the field below the drop-down list. For example you may want to use a different separator than a comma. Note that if you type illogical values into the field the numbers may not display at all, or display erroneous data. Contact Sustianable Solutions if you need more information. **Currency formats** This option specifies the format in which currencies will be displayed in mSupply.
