<p class="Help-Text">Point of Sale can be configured to manage up to 20 stores, each with one to 20 &#160;workstations running the software. Program includes features like centralized purchasing and inventory control, inter-store transfers, exchange of information between stores, company-wide reporting, and the ability at any store to view the on-hand quantity of an item at any other store.</p>
<p class="Help-Text">One store is designated as the <font style="font-weight: bold;">Headquarters</font> store (Store 1). Headquarters maintains central control over inventory, purchases merchandise, runs company-wide reports, and handles data exchange with QuickBooks Desktop financial software. Headquarters also has all the capabilities of a remote store, plus can create documents for any store.</p>
<p class="Help-Text">Stores 2-20, called <font style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: normal;">remote stores</span>,</font> receive and sell merchandise, capture customer information, transfer items to other stores when necessary, and run local store reports. Each store authorizes and settles its own credit, debit/ATM, and gift card transactions, runs the End of Day procedure, and defines its own employees and security settings.</p>
<p class="Help-Text">Headquarters and remote stores communicate through a process called <a href="multi_store_exchange.htm">Store Exchange</a>. Store Exchange typically is done at the end of each business day, so that Headquarters, all stores, and your financial software all have current information for the start of the next business day.</p>
