    If you’re new to Gravity Software, this section will guide you through the essential first steps of setting up your environment, configuring your first company, and understanding how Gravity organizes your financial data.

    These tutorials are ideal for system administrators, controllers, and new users responsible for configuration and day-to-day financial management.

    Learn how to get started with Gravity  video (2023) below.

     

    This tutorial walks you through setting up your first company in Gravity Software — from understanding the home screen to completing your initial configuration using the Entity Configuration Wizard.

    Key topics covered include:

    1

    Navigating the Home Screen and Menu

    Learn how to access core areas like Financials, Revenue, Expenses, and Inventory, and where to find System Settings for configuration.

    2

    Setting Up Your First Company (Master Entity)

    The first company you create is called the Master Entity. It stores database-level attributes — such as fiscal year setup and multi-entity configuration — that apply across your system.

    3

    Configuring Fiscal Year and Periods

    Define fiscal year-end dates, calendar or custom reporting periods, and reporting structures. Each company can maintain its own fiscal period setup to match your organizational requirements.

     

    4

    Building the Chart of Accounts

    Use Gravity’s Excel-based template to import or create your chart of accounts. This includes setting account numbers, descriptions, account types (balance sheet or P&L), and dimension rules for financial reporting.

    5

    Designing Account Structures and Dimensions

    Set up flexible account segments (for departments, locations, or divisions) and financial dimensions (for projects, partners, or investments) to create dynamic, meaningful reports.

    6

    Establishing Transaction Sequences and IDs

    Configure unique ID sequences for transactions (e.g., JT1000 for journal entries, AP1000 for bills). This helps you distinguish between historical data and transactions created in Gravity.

    7

    Configuring Invoicing and Defaults

    Choose between Word-based invoices for flexible design and customize attributes such as service dates, document requirements, and numbering formats.

    8

    Setting Default Accounts for Payables and Receivables

    Assign default GL accounts for common transactions (e.g., accrued expenses, write-offs, taxes) to ensure accuracy in financial posting.

    9

    Currency Setup and Multi-Currency Handling

    Define your company’s base currency and rounding accounts. Gravity allows each entity to maintain its own currency configuration.

    10

    Inventory and Default Site Setup

    Even if you’re not using inventory for cost tracking, learn how to configure a default site for managing lists or items within purchasing and invoicing modules.

    11

    Adding Additional Companies

    When you’re ready to expand, use the wizard to add more entities. Each new company can have unique configurations while sharing the same database structure for consolidation.

    12
