Tip
Multiple locations lets you run several yards or branches, each with its own stock, crews, trucks, people and jobs. A Main location exists already (it keeps its code), and you add the others. Pick a Location in the selector on a list or report, and clear it (All locations) for company-wide numbers. It works on Jobs, Crews, Trucks, Tickets, the item catalogue, movements and assets, lists of records that have a yard, the finance reports (ageing, cash, revenue, sales tax), the reports center and the dashboard figures at the top. The dashboard says when the figures show one location only. Open Location performance (owners and administrators only, and only when your company has more than one location). The overview shows every location side by side for the period you choose: revenue, jobs completed, quotes sent and won (win rate), average job duration, outstanding and overdue invoices, expenses, margin and crew utilisation. Pick a period with the buttons or the date fields, turn on Compare with previous period to see the change, or choose one location in the location selector (or click its name) to drill down to its month-by-month chart and top customers.
