How to use it well

Enable only the modules needed for one business workflow, then create a small set of customers, suppliers and products. Process a purchase and sale from start to finish to check numbering, stock changes and document templates.

Expand module use after the initial records and responsibilities are stable. Dolibarr’s core has no user or time license limit, but additional modules can introduce costs and upgrade dependencies. Record configuration choices and maintain backups before changing important business settings.
