How to add a branch, warehouse or godown
Add a second shop, a warehouse or a godown to the same Nafaa account, give it a manager login, and switch between branches from the top bar. Every branch keeps its own stock, cash drawer and sales, and reports can combine all of them.
Updated
A branch in Nafaa is any place that holds stock. A Dukaan (shop) has the POS counter, customers and a cash drawer. A Warehouse or Godown only stores stock and sends it on. Each branch has its own stock and sales, and the owner can look at one branch or all of them together.
Branches live in Settings → Business info → Branches. How many you can add depends on your plan; the plan usage page lists Branches next to products and users.
Add a branch
Step 1: Open Branches
Go to Settings → Business info → Branches and click Nayi branch (new branch), or press N on that page.
Step 2: Choose the type
Under Branch ki type pick Dukaan, Warehouse or Godown. The type decides what runs there: only a Dukaan has the POS and the drawer.
Step 3: Name it
Enter Branch ka naam, for example "Ali Store - Saddar". Add the phone and Pata (address) if you want them on that branch's bills.
Step 4: Add a manager (optional)
Switch on Is branch ka manager banayein and fill in the manager's name, login email and password. The manager will only see this branch.
Step 5: Create the branch
Click Branch banayein (or Branch aur login banayein when you added a manager). A new branch starts with empty stock.
Step 6: Send stock to it
Move stock from an existing branch with Inventory → Transfers. See stock transfers.

Questions
Can a cashier see sales from other branches?
No, if their login is locked to one branch. A login with one branch only sees and sells in that branch.
How do I compare branches?
Click Analytics on the Branches page to open Branch analytics, which shows sales, returns, expenses and bills per branch for the period you pick.
