Each session there is only one required login, though after inactivity of 30 minutes per session it is necessary to login again. The option ‘require login when viewing documents outside Basecone’ ensures that users are required to log in to Basecone if they want to retrieve invoices from other systems, such as your accounting system. It is recommended to activate this option if multiple users work on the same computer, for example at home or on a public computer.Ignore warnings when booking period deviates from invoice date
In special situations, e.q. when an invoice has to be booked in a different period then the corresponding period, you can select this option. This is only for exceptional situations.VAT not applicable
If you activate this option the company will be without VAT, which is common in the medical field.
Attention: when using this setting, please be aware that you do not save the VAT-code NO VAT as a posting rule. Do not book a document by using the button Boek and save posting rules.
You can save posting rules by going to Settings > Companies > Edit > Suppliers/Customers > Edit posting rules.

Users (tab)
Under this tab Users, you can specify which users have access to the selected companies. The Yes/No button indicates whether a user has access to the company. You can also access a user's setting directly in this screen by clicking on the edit option under the Actions column.
Custom Tags (tab)
In the custom tag tab, you can create Custom Tags folders where you can use to store your documents online. For instance, you can create a folder in the Custom Tag as “Tax 2017” and then you can allocate your IRS documents to the custom tag folder. Basecone keeps these documents digitally in the archive where you can easily find the documents. For these type of documents a fair-use capacity of 500 megabytes (average of 1,500 documents) applies.
The documents can be stored to these folders you have created during the tagging process. You will need to select the document, then click on the CUST tag and then select the folder.
Customers / Suppliers (tab)
In the last two tabs, you will find customers and suppliers. Here you will see all the customers and suppliers available from your accounting system.
In this screen, you will see the following information:
Customer or supplier codes
Names of the customer or supplier
Postal code & city
VAT number
Chamber of commerce
On the far right, you will see a edit icon where you can view or edit the posting rules of the supplier or customer. For more information, see article "Posting rules".
📌 If you make changes to the posting rules, they are only applied after you re-tag the invoice or automatically applied to new invoices uploaded to Basecone.
