First steps¶
In about half an hour this page takes you through the main Flexbooks workflows on the books of ТОВ «Світанок Трейд», the office furniture trader of the demo. Everything you create disappears at the nightly reset, so feel free to experiment.
Dates in the demo move with the calendar. Below, the previous month and the current month mean exactly that, counted from today. The third quarter of 2026 is closed, so new documents go into the previous or current month. The pictures on this page were taken when the manual was last updated, so their dates can be older than yours.

On the sign-in page click the Accountant card: one click and you are in. All the logins are on the Demo page; steps 6 and 7 use the Chief accountant and the Administrator.
Switch the interface to English in the top bar if you prefer. The Ukrainian names of commands are given in parentheses.
