Modules

Inventory, Accounts, HR, Purchase & Sales, Production, Setup and Reports.

Functional modules

The Modules section documents the day-to-day functional areas of ZN ERP. Each module page explains the concepts of that area; each leaf page documents one screen or workflow inside it. If you want a step-by-step recipe instead of a reference, see How-To Guides; if you want a glossary or keyboard map, see Reference.

The seven modules below are organised in the order most installations adopt them. A retailer typically lives in Inventory, Accounts and Purchase & Sales; a manufacturer adds Production; a hospital adds Housing and Rx; every installation eventually touches Admin & Setup and Reports & Analysis.

How the modules fit together

Documents flow between modules — a Purchase Invoice in Purchase & Sales updates quantity in Inventory & Stock and posts a payable in Accounts & Finance, all in one save. The table below summarises ownership: where each posting originates and which module reports on it.

Naming conflict? Screens with similar names in different modules belong to the module that owns the underlying document. For example, "Stock Adjustment" lives in Inventory because it changes a quantity, not in Accounts even though it also posts a journal.
