General settings
These include:
- Basic details such as the invoice and delivery address, and financial information
- Settings that affect your purchase overview, e.g., ‘enable order counters’ (this shows the number of orders in each status) and various company specific settings
We recommend the following:

Number systems
The number systems are important as they determine how your requisition numbers look. The prefix is used to identify the location, in this case the vessel ‘Demo Vessel’. The next two prefixes are necessary to identify if a requisition was added on the vessel or office side. The easiest prefixes are V and O. The requests are always location-specific, but requests for quotations and purchase orders can also be provided with an automatic number for shipping company-wide.

- Prefix – Unique code for requests from the vessel. Advice: use a letter combination that unambiguously indicates the ship. In the example, demves is used to identify ‘Demo vessel’
- Prefix Vessel – Code to make it clear that the request comes from the vessel, e.g. the ‘V’ for vessel.
- Prefix Office – Code to make it clear that the request is coming from the office, e.g. the ‘O’ from office.
- Reset Functions – With the reset functions, the number systems of the purchase functions can be reset. Use these carefully!
When the checkbox ‘Keep the same numbering’ is enabled, Marad will use the same number for the Requisition, Quotation and Purchase Order. For example, if the requisition number is REQ-HIL-V-001, then the quotation number will be RFQ-HIL-V-001 and the purchase order number will be PO-HIL-V-001. The disadvantage of enabling this option is that you have to move all order lines of an order to the next status. So the flexibility to work per order line is lost in this case.
