Once in "production" (not Demo/Trial) environment, there is no formal process for Tidy to "just delete" data. The simplest workaround is to start over with a new Tidy account. Sign up for another free trial, click on the 'Buy Now' button, and follow the sign-up steps again. When it's time to pay, choose the bank deposit option so you won't be charged a second time. Remember, you need a different URL for the new trial. If you want to use your original URL again, please contact our team for help.
You may make use of the Export/Import function to selectively copy the records in tables for
- Customers
- Users
- Suppliers
- Material Items
from your current account to the new account. (If there is any data in there, you will need in the new environment.)
All Tidy software products work well on Mac.
The compatibility of our software is more dependent on the browser being used rather than the type of computer. Almost all browsers will work well, but Google Chrome is probably going be the best. One of our staff members uses the Safari browser on his Mac and hasn’t ever had any issues.
Regarding devices such as the iPhone, our Solutions Specialist can provide more information. However, while we don't have a dedicated app, our software is mobile-friendly.
We have mobile versions for TidyWork, TidyBuild, and TidyEnterprise, but not for TidyStock. TidyStock works on Macs fine and works on all the main browsers: Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox.
There are some hotkeys in development which should ease the data entry process. Contact us and we will inform you about them in advance, as their availability is dependent on the internet browser. If using Google Chrome:
“Alt S” will take you to the Sale Order list.
“Alt A” will create a new Sale, and you will be able to input a customer in the customer box right away.
“Alt ~ “ will take you down to the line-item section, where you can input the material item.
“Tab” x 3 will take you over to the quantity section
“Alt A” will create a new line.
No, not at this current time.
Our Solutions Specialist based at the Tidy Int headquarters in NZ can re format the data to import into Tidy product (e.g., Tidy Stock). Contact our support team to aid this process.
Currently an e-Business connector to the likes of eBay has not been provided by Tidy, although we are investigating this. However, Tidy Stock does have an API that may be used by 3rd party developers to design a connector for your requirements.
Currently, we do not link to WooCommerce, but it is on our roadmap. However, we do not have a set deadline date yet.
Currently, we do not link to Shopify, but it is on our roadmap. However, we do not have a set deadline date yet.
We cannot copy/clone or template Sales Orders. All new Sales default to one line, but you can easily click "New Item" and populate a new line in a split-second.
Currently, Tidy does not have an integration with any point-of-sale software or terminal, but this may be possible in the future because the technical team have this in the pipeline for possible future integrations.
The discount matrix we have relates to pricing levels. Every material item can be assigned different pricing levels (Standard, Bronze). The main issues are:
Each customer can only be assigned one default pricing level.
On a Sale Order, the pricing level chosen applies to every material item on the Sale Order. This means, that you cannot have different pricing levels for different items i.e. bronze pricing for one item and standard pricing for the other item.
We cannot get the pricing level to appear on the invoice, however we can get the pricing level to appear on the Sale Order template. Similar to above, this means the pricing level will only appear at the top level, not for every individual item.
We can work with putting in a discount % manually for each line. However, this may be tedious. These ARE reflected on the invoice.
To split off certain items on a Sale order into a Child sale order, the item must have insufficient stock. If you have enough stock stock to complete the Sale, then once you click the Save and Invoice button all of that stock will be invoiced.
Please contact us with further information via the Support button on the website.
The customer manually updates the exchange rate as often as needed by clicking the 'New Rate' button. If you want to change the Base currency, contact Tidy.
You can set up a service as an unmanaged item with a charge rate. You can ignore stock levels on unmanaged items.
If the item is unmanaged, then unit cost can be edited.
If the item is managed, and there is quantity in stock, the unit cost cannot be edited. This is because the Quantity * Unit cost is the value for the item. This value is tracked on your books as a current asset in Xero, under the "612- Stock asset" account.
No. We prefer not to allow users to turn Managed items on and off at their discretion. It's a messy workaround, that takes up the engineer's times and the data/ audit history of Managed items is lost every time.
We currently cannot make all Managed items Unmanaged. All audit history and traceability of the material item would disappear. Unmanaged items are more error prone as edits can be easily made, and the value of inventory is not tracked on the balance sheet. It is on our roadmap to have the functionality to "invoice in advance" then complete the order later.
The issue at present is that to invoice the customer, is when the stock is expensed to cost of goods sold. If we don't have the cost value of a managed item, then we cannot invoice it out. To work around this, would it be possible to export the payable invoice as a draft? This means you can receipt the stock in first, then reconcile with the supplier invoice later. The only issue with this is that the cost of the goods from the supplier may be different than the cost of you initially ordered them from on the PO.
Tidy can handle 10,000 material items- only if their codes/ SKUs and Names are unique.
TidyWork or TidyBuild
See below:
Yes, and you can manually put in the exchange rates (it‘s not a live feed to real time exchange rates).
Yes, this is how it will go. When a customer rings up with a query, the sale can be saved as a draft. The sale can then be edited and saved as a quote. The quote can then be sent to the potential customer. Once they accept the quote, can save the sale as “on-order” , and generate a packing slip. We can change the packing slip template to look like a delivery note. Once done, can finally generate an invoice.
You cannot import existing quotes into Tidy.
QR code generation/ scanning is a feature that is on our roadmap.
Click on your name on the top right hand corner. This will bring up the User profile page, where you can set a new password. Please see screen capture below:
With the PO approval process, there is a sub permission within the Purchase role relating to approvals. If the team member only has “Purchaser” ticked, they can only create draft POs. If the team member has “Can this purchaser approve purchase orders?”, then they can approve POs and also change their status to sent.
For a user to be able to see the customers screen/ list, they need the System administrator permission
Team members can have permissions such as invoiced, salesperson, and reporter. For example, a reporter is a user who can generate reports. The permissions for Team members are less than the permissions that Managers have. Manager members have the permission choices of either: Resource Administrator and System administrator. They will have higher permissions and more access to features.
Yes, you won’t be able to create an assembly if you don’t have the components in Tidy.
Go to TidyAcademy and search for the ‘Bulk import materials’ document. This provides a step-by-step on how to bulk import materials.
Ensure that all material item codes and names are unique.
Yes, you can import your material items by a csv using the import/export tab to complete a bulk imort.
You will need to sign up to a brand new trial in order to sign up to the product. If you want to retain the same URL we can make this change later.

You will receive unlimited support without charge through the onboarding and after. All support for a customer is complimentary.
To remove all data during your trial, click START at the top of your screen and enter Setup mode.
