The fastest way to understand Orin is to run one sale all the way through it.

  1. Open Settings → General and put in your company details. They appear on every document.
  2. Open Settings → Billing and check the currency, the payment terms and the tax rates.
  3. Add a client. Name and email are enough to start.
  4. Add two or three products, with a price and a cost.
  5. Give the products some opening stock.
  6. Raise an order for your client, add the products, and confirm it.
  7. Turn the order into an invoice, and record a payment against it.

That is the whole loop. Everything else in Orin is a variation on it.

Where to look next

The dashboard now has numbers in it. Stock has dropped by what the order consumed, and the movement log says why.
