Managing Multiple Business Locations, Warehouses, or Storefronts
Last updated: 15 February 2025 · 1 min read
BillBook allows you to seamlessly manage multiple business locations, including warehouses and storefronts, all within a single system.
By default, a primary business location is created when you register your business. However, you can add more locations to efficiently track inventory, sales, and transactions separately for each branch.
Setting Up a New Business Location
To create a Business Location, Storefront, or Warehouse:
- Go to → Settings → Business Locations
- Click on Add Location
- Enter the location details (Name, Address, Contact, etc.)
- Choose an Invoice Scheme & Invoice Layout
- Select the Default Selling Price Group
- Enable or disable payment methods for this location
- Click Save
Tip: If you have multiple locations, select the correct location when adding purchases or processing sales in the POS system.
Understanding Key Settings for Business Locations
Invoice Scheme (Invoice Number Format)
Define a unique invoice scheme or use an existing one. Helps distinguish invoices for different locations.
- Location A: INV-A001, INV-A002
- Location B: INV-B001, INV-B002
Invoice Layout (Design of the Invoice)
If you want custom invoice designs for each location, set up different invoice layouts before creating the location.
Default Selling Price Group
Each location can have its own pricing group for better price management.
- Location A (Retail Store): Standard Pricing
- Location B (Wholesale Warehouse): Discounted Pricing
Payment Options
Set a default payment method for each location to ensure smooth transactions.
Managing Inventory and Transactions Across Locations
- Each location operates independently in terms of inventory and transactions.
- If you have 3 stores, you can track sales, stock levels, and expenses separately for each one.
- You can also transfer stock between locations when needed.
Disabling a Business Location
- Go to Settings → Business Locations
- Find the location you want to disable.
- Click the Disable button.
Important Notes:
- After disabling a location, any users assigned to it must be reassigned to another active location.
- At least one business location must remain active.
