The centralized management environment allows you to select multiple companies simultaneously and set their specific warehouses, customers, equipment, and contacts. It enables you to generate summary reports without switching interfaces, thereby simplifying daily tasks and the entire management process.

Go to Settings ‣ Manage Companies, then fill in your company information in the table. If Parent Company is selected, records are shared between the two companies (as long as both environments are active).

To switch or select between multiple companies, you can enable their checkboxes to activate them. Grayed-out companies are those using the environment. To switch environments, click on the company name. In the example below, the user has access to three companies, two of which are activated, and the environment in use is JS Store US.

Product, contact, and device data can be shared or set to display only for specific companies. To do this, make your selection in the following format:

  • Blank field : Records will be shared across all companies.

If there are multiple activated companies in the user's database and a record is being edited, the edit will be applied to the company associated with that record.
Example: If you edit a sales order published under JS Store US in the JS Store Belgium environment, the changes will be applied under JS Store US (the company that published the sales order).
When creating a record, consider that the company is:
  • Current company (active company) or,
  • No company set (e.g., on product and contact forms), or
  • Company settings are linked to the settings of the document (same as the record being edited).

To set the document format for each company, activate and select the corresponding format, then click Configure Document Layout under Settings.

  • Sync Invoices/Bills : Generate invoices/bills when the company confirms the bills/invoices of the selected company.

    Example: When an invoice from JS Store US is posted in JS Store Belgium, a vendor bill will be automatically created in JS Store US.

  • Sync Sales/Purchase Orders : When confirming the sales/purchase orders of the selected company, use the selected company's warehouse to draft purchase/sales orders. If you want to validate the draft instead of the drafted purchase/sales order, enable Auto Validate.

    For example: When a sales order from JS Store US is confirmed on JS Store Belgium, a purchase order will be automatically created on JS Store Belgium (depending on whether the Auto-Validate feature is enabled).
