Stock Rules Before Adding a Second Store Location
Define ownership of receiving, transfers, and returns before opening another counter.
By ElectroX Team
A second store multiplies places where stock can move. Shared product names help, but each location still needs accountable counts.
## Set location boundaries
Choose who receives supplier stock, who can request transfers, and where returns are inspected. Identify which stock is available for sale at each branch.
## Keep devices exact
Transfer serialized phones by IMEI, not only model quantity. Have both locations verify the same identifier at handoff.
## Review separately
Compare sales, stock differences, and overdue service jobs by branch before combining totals. Assign a manager to resolve cross location exceptions.
ElectroX product, device, and transaction records provide a common language for those branch procedures.
