# Read First: ASIC and presets

## ASICS data?

You cannot get up and running without ASICS.

**ASICS** is an acronym for the following types of data:

* **A**ccounting
* **S**uppliers
* **I**tems
* **C**ustomers
* **S**tock *levels*

Make sense?

You need this cornerstone data in your system to run any type of workflow.

## Accounting *data for evaluation?*

## Workers

The Worker's list contains a list of people who interact with your system. They either have access to the main Salesorder application or the TAP. In the latter case, they are independent Sales representatives.&#x20;

The import templates have a Workers column. Before you import data into the Salesorder system you should set up your Workers, either manually, or via the Workers import template.

See [Workers](/company/workers-and-users.md).
