Branches in SwiftlyBooks

Where your company trades from. Each branch numbers its own documents.

Add a branch

  1. Press Add branch, and give its Name, a short Code, such as BYO, and its Address if you like. The address prints on transfer notes.
  2. Press Add branch to save it. Its documents are numbered with its code, such as INV-BYO-000001.

Close a branch

  1. Press the archive button beside a branch you no longer trade from, titled Close. It keeps its history and numbering, and takes no new documents.
  2. To trade from it again, press the button titled Open again.

Once there are two

  • The branch at the top sets the one you work in: lists and reports show it, and new documents start there. All branches shows everything.
  • Each document names its Branch, and each branch numbers its own, with no gaps.
  • A role set to Its own branches keeps each person to the branches they are given, under Users and roles.

Good to know

  • Every company starts with Head office, which stays open. A branch with records can't be deleted: close it instead.
