FAQ

Your questions, answered.

How the system works, what you can configure and how to get started.

How do I get started?+

Select Start now to create your account. Explore the system specification, or use Proto to configure it for your business.

What makes this system specific to our work?+

This system connects customer orders, drawing-controlled products, metal purchasing, fabrication work and finance. Products retain drawing and material-grade identifiers; released work captures the drawing revision and the source certificate reference required for its material. Planners coordinate real cut, bend, weld, machine or finish operations through approved routings.

Can we roll out one company or process first?+

Yes. Plan a phase around a defined entity and process, with clear ownership of the work that remains in other tools. Reconcile the opening position, integrations and handoffs before launch; retire the old tool for that scope after its outstanding work is accounted for.

Does every company need the same currency and calendar?+

The design supports entity-specific functional currencies and accounting calendars. Group reporting needs explicit period mappings, translation policies and ownership methods. A locked consolidation retains those choices and its source amounts so a later change cannot silently rewrite the result.

How do quotes become orders and invoices?+

The accepted offer carries its approved prices, discounts and revision into the order. Invoice allocations retain the source quantities and net amounts so conversion cannot apply a discount again. A contract billing cycle selects an order-led or direct-invoice route and retains that identity to prevent duplicate billing.

Who approves purchases and payments?+

Every purchase order needs an eligible approver who did not prepare it. The Buyer or Controller acts within the specified authority. A Controller releases a payment run within their limit and independently of its preparer and included bill approvers. Delegation requires the necessary role and never removes those independence rules.

Can sales and finance see individual salaries?+

Access to individual pay, national IDs and employee bank details is restricted. Sales roles do not receive it, and administrative access does not override the restriction. Finance review can use payroll totals and reconciliation evidence; authorized HR and payroll roles retain the detailed access needed for their work.

How is payroll checked before launch?+

Compare the configured payroll against the previous provider using a Parallel run for the agreed employees and pay period. It produces comparison evidence without posting journals, creating bank instructions, consuming time or leave, or updating operational year-to-date balances. The payroll owners agree the differences and country-specific responsibilities before release.

Which banks and tax services are connected?+

Connections are implementation work and depend on the selected provider and country. Confirm the supported formats, identity, acknowledgements and reconciliation behavior during rollout. A payment-file acknowledgement is distinct from settlement, and a configured tax code is not evidence of filing coverage.

Can we bring existing orders and balances?+

Yes, through a planned and reconciled migration. Preserve source identifiers and partial processing history so an already received, shipped, billed or paid amount cannot be processed again. Opening stock, ledger, asset, leave and payroll balances need controlled imports with clear posting boundaries.

Can assistants approve or release work?+

Assistants can prepare drafts, propose matches and collect evidence within their assigned access. Required human approvals stay with the accountable role. They cannot bypass document review, payment release, credit controls or sensitive employee access.

Is there a per-user subscription?+

There is no per-user fee. The base account and ordinary manual work in the official interface are free. Machine work, retention beyond included allowances and model usage follow the platform rate card; implementation is priced separately. The pricing page explains credit packs, rates and what happens at a zero balance.

Can we change the system after rollout?+

Use Proto to propose changes on a branch and review them before release. The process owner should check changes to posting, permissions, payroll or approval rules against existing transactions and the agreed operating policies. Machine work and model usage remain metered.

Implementation

Plan a phased rollout around your companies, data and business priorities.

Read the implementation plan
  1. 01

    Agree the operating model

    The Controller, Sales Manager, HR Manager and operational owners define company boundaries, reporting needs and the first processes to move. Confirm calendars, currencies, payment policies, payroll countries, stock ownership and approval responsibilities. Give each dependency an owner and record what is excluded from the initial release.

    Controller
  2. 02

    Configure and verify

    Set up master data, access, posting rules, pricing and approval policies. Confirm that users can perform their work while restricted payroll and cost information stays protected. Test chosen banks, identity providers, tax services and devices against the actual formats and accounts planned for launch.

    Team and ERP.ai
  3. 03

    Prepare migration

    Establish a cutoff, source identifiers and a repeatable import plan. Load dependencies in the data model's order, then resolve cross-references in a controlled second pass. Keep reconciled comparison history separate from transactions that will post or consume stock, credit, leave and time.

    Team and ERP.ai
  4. 04

    Reconcile opening positions

    Match the ledger to open receivables and payables, unapplied cash, accepted stock layers, work in progress and asset balances. Carry partial receipts, shipments, invoices and payment applications so only their remainder can be processed. Opening stock detail and its ledger balance represent the same position; importing both must not create a second inventory or goods-received accrual posting. Preserve leave and payroll year-to-date balances through dedicated migration records.

    Team and ERP.ai
  5. 05

    Rehearse complete business cycles

    Follow a quote through acceptance, shipment, invoice and collection. Test independent purchase approval, partial receipts, rejected goods, bill differences and uncertain bank outcomes. Rehearse a close and consolidation using the agreed calendars. Compare payroll with the previous provider in a nonposting Parallel run that cannot issue payments, consume time or leave, or update operational year-to-date totals.

    Team and ERP.ai
  6. 06

    Release in agreed phases

    Launch a process or entity only after its data, access and reconciliation checks pass. Payroll moves on an agreed pay-period boundary after the country-specific comparison is accepted. Define the handoff between old and new tools, first-close support and rollback responsibilities before processing live work. Retire the old tool for that scope after its outstanding work and historical access are accounted for.

    Team and ERP.ai

Pricing

The base account and ordinary manual work in ERP.AI's official interface are $0. Viewing, searching, creating, editing, approving, deleting and exporting records in that interface do not consume read or write credits. There is no per-user fee.

Machine work: external API-key requests, imports, workflows, agents and scheduled jobs. Successful external API-key reads and writes use the operation rates below. Starting a managed execution from the interface still starts that metered service.
