POS Products in the Backoffice are now global, meaning they can be controlled across multiple locations from the one area. This allows multi-location businesses to be able to easily maintain consistency in pricing, taxation and financial tracking while also enabling location-specific overrides for certain financial settings.

Location-Based Overrides

While most POS Product settings remain consistent across locations, businesses can override the following fields at specific locations:

  • Cost – Adjusts pricing for a particular location.

  • Tax Category – Change the Tax Category for that location (helpful for where taxes are different between state locations).

  • GL Account Code – Allows financial tracking per location.

  • GL Cost Center – Assigns costs appropriately for better accounting control.

Each POS Product contains various fields that can be configured to manage its details, cost, tax, and categorization.
