# VMG MULTIBRANCH

VMG Multibranch is a feature that enables dealerships using VMG DMS Accounting to view income statements per branch. 

VMG DMS Multibranch incurs an additional cost of R 1000 (ex VAT) pm, per branch. This amount is added to your dealerships normal monthly amount.

Follow these steps in the exact order you see them. If we skip a step it can lead to frustrations.

1. Enable Multibranch in Admin console (Note: Only VMG Senior Support staff can do this for you)

1. Click the Add to add your branches. Click Save after adding each branch.

Note: Your Short Code must consist of letters only and will form the last three characters in your account codes. EG. 2000/ABC.

1. Open any vehicle to the main details tab. Note that you can now edit the branch field.

A Branch MUST be assigned BEFORE you can TRANSFER stock transactions to the ledger.

1. Navigate to the Chart of Accounts and create your expense account for each branch. 

Note that you can now assign a branch to any NEWLY created ledger account. You CAN NOT assign a branch to any ledger accounts created before Multibranch has been enabled. 

Note: Once you have selected a Branch, your account code will be followed by the Short Code you assigned in Step 2.

Click Save.

1. Transferring Stock Transactions will go to which ever branch that vehicle has been assigned to in Step 4.

Note: Should the vehicle be brought into stock and assigned a branch but then later re assigned to a new branch at point of sale, all costs that have been transferred on that vehicle will be assigned to whatever branch is assigned to that vehicle.

Note: When a sale is transferred to the ledger. The branch assigned is locked and cannot be changed. A branch can be edited after a credit note has been processed for the sale.
