Branches - Setup Window 
In this window, the following fields are mandatory:
Branch Name
Default Warehouse ID
Country
A combination of the branch name, alias, and branch registration number (CNPJ in Brazil and VAT registration number in Korea) makes a unique code for a branch. For example, two branches can have the same branch name (company name) and alias, but their registration numbers must be different.
This topic documents fields and other elements in this window that either are not self-explanatory or require additional information. End of the note. |
Specify the branch name. |
Enter the unique registration number provided by the government for the branch or enter an internal number to identify the branch. This field is not available for the Korea or Brazil localization. |

Defines a default customer, default vendor, default warehouse for the branch.
Specifying a default warehouse does not mean the system automatically assigns the warehouse to the branch. You must go to the corresponding Warehouse - Setup window to assign the branch to the default warehouse. End of the note. The default customer and vendor are used in centralized payments as intermediary accounts. To make centralized payments, you must define a default customer (for outgoing payments) and a default vendor (for incoming payments) for each relevant branch, and the default customer and vendor must be assigned to all involved branches. For more information, see Making Centralized Payments Across Branches. For transactions between branches, you can use the default customer and vendor, but they are not meant to be automatically defaulted as business partners for business documents. For example, Branch A is the major supplier for Branch B, so Branch B can set up a business partner account as "Branch A". |
Specify the payment clearing account for the branch.
All the branches share the same payment clearing account. The specified payment clearing account is used for centralized payments across branches. End of the note. |
