How to direct a purchase order to a branch

Topic

When a supplier has branches, you can point a purchase order at a specific one so the order tells them which store to fulfil — while the PO still books against the parent supplier for your accounts.

Instructions

1. 1
   Raise a purchase order and pick the supplier.

   If that supplier has learned branches, a Branch picker appears, defaulting to 'Any branch / head office'.

2. 2
   Choose the branch (optional).

   Selecting one stamps it on the PO; it shows as 'Westgate branch' on the PO detail and as 'Attn: Westgate branch' on the emailed PDF.

3. 3
   Send as normal.

   The order still reconciles against the one supplier in your books and in Xero — the branch is just directing it.
