Item Sales and Inventory

Hi there, Natalie C.

Since you have separate entities with inventory, you'll want to create a vendor and customer profile for each of the stores so you can manage to buy and sell.

To add a vendor:

1. Go to Vendors and choose Vendor Center.
2. Click New Vendor.
3. Fill in the necessary information.
4. Hit OK.

To add a customer:

1. Go to Customers and choose Customer Center.
2. Click New Vendor.
3. Fill in the necessary information.
4. Hit OK.

However, I'd still suggest consulting professional advice from your accountant to help you handle this type of situation. You can also find an accountant by clicking on this link: Find an accountant.

I'm only a post away if you need me. I'm always here to have your back. Take care.

Just to clarify, why do you keep to manage up to 9 company files separately? If every store has a unique tax id, you have to talk to your accountant or tax consultant about the transfer pricing.
