How to Track Branch or Location-wise Transactions in Zoho Inventory

Expanding your business across multiple locations—whether retail stores, warehouses, or regional offices—brings exciting growth opportunities, but also new challenges for managing sales and inventory. With Zoho Inventory’s Branch feature, you can track transactions at each branch or location with ease, ensuring greater transparency and better decision-making.

Why Track Branch-wise Transactions? #

Branch-wise tracking allows you to:

• Monitor sales, purchases, and inventory at each location separately
• Identify high-performing branches or those needing attention
• Streamline reporting for audits and business analysis

Enabling Branches in Zoho Inventory #

Getting started is simple:

1. Log in to your Zoho Inventory account.
2. Navigate to Settings (gear icon) and select Preferences.
3. In the Preferences panel, click on Branches and toggle the option to enable branches.
4. Save your changes. The Branch management settings will now be accessible.

Setting Up and Using Branches #

1. Go to Settings > Branches and click Add Branch to create branches. Enter the name and address (e.g., “Main Store”, “Warehouse 2”).
2. While creating sales orders, purchase orders, or invoices, select the relevant branch from the Branch dropdown menu.
3. To analyze performance, use built-in reports like Branch-wise Sales or Branch-wise Purchase Reports to view and filter transactions by branch.

Example in Action

Suppose you operate two stores: “Downtown” and “Airport.” When a sale occurs at Downtown, select “Downtown” as the branch while creating the invoice. Later, you can run a Branch-wise Sales Report to review sales from just that location, helping you compare performance across your stores.

Frequently Asked Questions #

Can I edit branch details later?
Yes, simply go to the Branches section under Settings and edit the necessary information.

Can branches have separate inventories?
Absolutely—Zoho Inventory supports location-wise stock management, so you can track inventory at each branch independently.

Is branch tracking available in all Zoho Inventory plans?
Branch management is generally available in higher-tier Zoho Inventory plans. Be sure to check your plan details for eligibility.
