Function documentationWorking with Multiple Branches: Brazil Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

Different branches of a company may have different legal reporting requirements. However, the branches may share some users, business partners, and so on. It is inconvenient to maintain different databases for different branches, and it may cause data inconsistency.

With the multiple branches feature, you can work across branches on one database, but with only authorized data. The purposes of initializing this feature include the following:

  • Various master data are catalogued into different branches; meanwhile, some master data can be shared between branches.

  • Different branches have different documents created with their own master data.

  • Different branches share some common data and settings, for example, items, document settings, and so on.

Before working with multiple branches, you need to complete the following tasks:

  1. Enable the multiple branches feature.

  2. Define branches.

  3. Assign master data to appropriate branches.
