Configurations Overview
The Configuration Module serves as the central administration area for managing and maintaining system-wide settings within Sumo Ledger. It allows administrators and authorized users to configure master data, accounting structures, transaction controls, policies, integrations, user management, and other operational parameters that drive the behavior of the ledger system.
Through this module, organizations can define products, accounting mappings, tariffs, workflows, reporting structures, user classifications, and system controls without requiring code changes. This enables flexible system customization to meet specific business, operational, and regulatory requirements.
Operational Use Case
The Configuration Module is typically used during system setup, implementation, onboarding of new business products, policy changes, accounting structure updates, and ongoing system administration. Administrators can configure and maintain ledger behavior, reporting hierarchies, transaction validation rules, user access structures, and external integrations from a single centralized interface.
For example:
- Configure new financial products and services.
- Define Chart of Accounts (COA) mappings for accounting entries.
- Manage tariffs, fees, and charges.
- Configure transaction controls and validation policies.
- Maintain reporting and accounting classifications.
- Define contract types and business processes.
- Configure webhooks and external system integrations.
- Manage users, roles, and access permissions.
- Maintain asset groups, channel types, and user categories.
