Feature Gates

Feature Gates is the "Settings switchboard" for the suite. Each MFI app ships with only the essentials visible; everything else (dashboards, reports, advanced workflows) hides until you flip the matching toggle. Same pattern Accounting uses for Multi-Currency.

MFI Suite settings page — Configuration → Settings → MFI Suite. Per-app toggle blocks for ~51 features.

How to turn on Term Deposits (example)

Term Deposits — fixed-deposit contracts with auto-rollover and break penalties — is hidden by default because most new tenants don't need it on day one.

Open Configuration → Settings → MFI Suite.
Scroll to the Savings block.
Toggle Term deposits on; click Save.
The Term Deposits menu now appears under Savings; the term-deposit product type becomes selectable.

How the gating actually works

Each toggle is backed by a BridgeERP security group. When you flip the toggle on, the group is added to the current user; menus that were hidden because they required that group become visible.

A toggle = a res.groups record.
The menu carries groups_id with that group as its only entry.
Default install: user is NOT in the group, menu hidden.
Toggle on: user gets the group, menu visible. Toggle off: group removed, menu hidden again.
Uninstall hook restores original groups_id backup.

Tip. On a fresh install, the default-essentials view keeps the suite uncluttered. Flip toggles per pilot branch as the team grows into them.
