role, entity membership, and custom permission overrides.
How Entity Settings Are Organized
Entity Settings is the largest settings area. It currently contains 33 sections grouped into 9 areas. Use the left navigation in Entity Settings to jump between groups.
| Group | Sections | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Company | Business Profile, Branding, Locations | Controls business identity, logos, ship-from addresses, receiving locations, and the entity users land in first. |
| Products and Pricing | Pricing Levels, Categories, Units of Measure, Adjustments and Coupons | Controls how products default, how quantities are measured, and how discounts or price levels are applied. |
| Sales Channels | Sales Channels, Customer Portal | Controls imported order sources, customer self-service, portal payments, returns, tracking, and cancellation options. |
| Tax | Tax Configuration, AvaTax | Controls tax connector status, address validation, and how sales tax is calculated on customer documents. |
| Shipping and Fulfillment | Shipping, Shipping Rules, Packing Configuration, Scanners | Controls carrier defaults, label behavior, package suggestions, freight rules, scan workflows, and warehouse handling. |
| Purchasing | Purchasing, Payment Terms | Controls vendor lead-time defaults, vendor-credit handling, and terms used by purchasing and accounting workflows. |
| Payments and Checks | Payments, Processing Fee, Check Configuration, Deposit Layout | Controls payment timing, ACH holds, auto-pack rules, card fees, check printing, and deposit slip layout. |
| Documents and Email | Documents, Document Numbering, Email Configuration, Email Templates, Sales and Quotes | Controls order numbers, quote terms, invoice terms, email sending, customer-facing templates, and document footers. |
| System | Fixed Asset Categories, Lease Configuration, Categorization Rules, Printing, Modules, Approval Workflows, Tags | Controls advanced accounting setup, feature visibility, workflow approval gates, printer behavior, and record tagging. |
Before You Change Settings |
Settings changes often affect more than the screen you are on. A good admin rhythm is to change one area at a time, run the workflow that depends on it, and confirm the result before changing the next setting.
- Use sandbox first when a change affects money, shipping, tax, documents, or integrations.
- Record what changed, who changed it, and what workflow should be tested afterward.
- Test the first order, label, email, payment, or bill after the change before rolling it out.
- Avoid changing numbering, accounting, tax, or payment settings during a busy operating window.
Settings That Commonly Surprise Teams
- Locations affect order defaults, receiving, ship-from addresses, inventory visibility, and label buying.
- Payment settings can decide whether orders wait for payment, auto-pack after payment, or hold ACH payments until cleared.
- Shipping settings and shipping rules work together. Connector setup, account addresses, package data, and rule priority all affect the final label workflow.
- Document numbering changes the next number Arcus assigns. Increase counters carefully and do not reuse numbers already issued.
- Email configuration controls customer-facing messages like confirmations, invoices, receipts, statements, and reminders.
- Approval workflows can pause a record until a user with the right approval access acts on it.
