The fastest way to understand Orin is to run one sale all the way through it.
- Open Settings → General and put in your company details. They appear on every document.
- Open Settings → Billing and check the currency, the payment terms and the tax rates.
- Add a client. Name and email are enough to start.
- Add two or three products, with a price and a cost.
- Give the products some opening stock.
- Raise an order for your client, add the products, and confirm it.
- 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.
