2.01.01 Configuration
The Configuration mask manages the parameters for the entire system. These include the company-specific parameters location, country, language and currencies, which are used as default settings for the master data. In addition, the per diems/flat rates and travel hour rates for cost accounting are stored here and the parameter for the payment term is defined. In addition, meal provision and surcharges can also be defined here for the whole company.
The mask consists of the following elements:
General Data
- Location: This item indicates the configuration settings for the selected site.
- Country: This field indicates the country of configuration for the site and is used for presetting the master data.

- Currency: The Currency field defines the default currency of the company. This currency is used as the default first currency for all currency fields. The currencies can be defined and changed in the Currency mask.

This currency is used as the second currency for all currency fields by default (exception: the project currency is used as the second currency in the billing module).

- km Flat Rate Passenger: This rate can be granted per passenger for a business trip in a car.
- Trip Rate (External & Internal): The fields Trip hour rates are required for travel expense accounting. If a trip is to be accounted using the travel hourly rates (see also Drives), Projectile calculates the travel costs from the time difference between trips and the internal travel hourly rate, and the external hourly rate is used to calculate the costs passed on to the customer.
- Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner: These rates indicate the imputed income for a meal (exception: breakfast in a hotel as imputed income).
- Breakfast in the Hotel: The Breakfast field indicates the imputed income for breakfast in the hotel.
