Configure Modules

Zoho ERP comes with a set of default modules (like Customers and Vendors, Invoices, Bills, Manual Journals, and more) to help you manage core business operations. In addition to these, Zoho ERP also provides additional modules that you can enable to cater your business requirements. These modules help you extend functionality across sales, inventory, payroll, and more.

These modules are grouped under categories for easier access. You can enable only the modules that are relevant to your business. This helps you keep your system simple, avoid unnecessary modules, and tailor Zoho ERP to match your business workflow.
