Settings → Initialization (under BILLING & DATA) groups advanced admin utilities into Organization and Financial Operations tabs. Use these tools during staff transitions, ledger cleanup, or payment ID standardization — not for day-to-day configuration. See Settings overview for safer first-time setup paths. Confirm bank accounts under Payment settings and plan entitlements in Billing and subscription before running financial migrations.
Organization tab
Ownership transfer
Reassign CRM records from inactive or removed users to active team members:
- Transfer From — Select an inactive or removed member; a preview counts deals, contacts, and activities
- Transfer To — Choose an active member (enabled only when the preview total is greater than zero)
- Process Transfer — Confirm in the dialog; action is irreversible
The tool moves deals, customers, and activities — not payment ledger rows (use Financial Operations for those).
Tasks from removed users
Lists incomplete tasks created by removed or deactivated users, broken down by person. Mark all as done completes them in bulk after confirmation — useful when offboarding leaves open task noise.
Please note:
- Ownership transfer cannot be undone; verify the preview counts before confirming.
- Marking tasks done is permanent — export or reassign important work first.
Financial Operations tab
Payment transaction ID format
Customize how payment reference IDs are generated:
| Variable | Meaning |
|---|---|
{yyyy} |
Four-digit year |
{mm} |
Two-digit month |
{dd} |
Two-digit day |
{seq:N} |
Sequence padded to N digits (e.g. {seq:4} → 0001) |
Default pattern: PAY-{yyyy}{mm}-{seq:4}.
Set Sequence reset period to daily, monthly, or yearly. Click Save to persist; only future payments use the new pattern unless you run Regenerate Past IDs.
Regenerate Past IDs rewrites all existing payment transactionId values to match the current format, recalculated chronologically. This may break external references or printed documents — use only after finance sign-off.
Account transaction migration
Move ledger entries between internal bank accounts (requires at least two active accounts from Payment settings):
- Launch Migration Tool
- Select source and target accounts
- Optionally exclude expenses and/or deposits
- Review the transaction count preview
- Migrate Transactions — irreversible
Use when merging duplicate bank entries or consolidating petty cash logs. This updates payment records, not CRM ownership.
