Configure CRM behaviour and defaults.

20.1 General Settings

  • Default Pipeline — Pipeline used for new deals unless specified
  • Stale Lead (Hours) — Flags leads that have gone inactive beyond the configured window
  • Inbox Response SLA (Hours) — Controls when conversations appear overdue in the inbox
  • Tenant Currency & FX — CRM now inherits the tenant’s shared currency policy, supported currencies, and FX source instead of owning its own currency settings

If you have permission, use Manage Currency & FX to open the tenant-wide currency settings screen.

20.2 Invoice Sync

Invoice sync is configured from the separate Invoice Sync settings page:

  • Standalone — CRM invoices remain inside CRM only
  • Dual-Mirror — CRM invoices create corresponding Accounting invoices when the Accounting module is enabled
