When to add a second branch
Add a location when the first branch runs two clean month-end closes—not when spreadsheets break.
Governance checklist
- Separate registers per branch
- Managers scoped to their site; finance can see all
- Transfer rules for stock between branches documented
- Price lists: central vs local overrides decided upfront
Rollout order
Pilot POS at branch two while branch one keeps reporting. Compare daily sales in /backoffice before merging workflows.
