Locations

When businesses expand to more than one location, the locations may be similar in operation, but may only provide certain materials or materials may have different rates based on the location. It may be desirable to limit jobs by location as well. The Location table works with the DataSync module to ensure each location receives only the data for their specific location. The corporate or home office will typically host and maintain the master database. The master database will list all locations, price tables, and job items. In each table the user can select to make the item available to all locations, or select specific location(s) for each item.

Based on the selections in each table, DataSync will take care of synchronizing data to the correct locations.

To create and edit items in the Locations table, select Maintain | Locations. The material table will appear.
