Branches
A branch is a place your business operates from - a shop, a warehouse-and-counter, a dark kitchen, a depot. It is the most important scoping dimension in OSOSS: stock is held per branch, sales are attributed per branch, working hours and delivery zones are set per branch, and the accounts a sale posts to can differ per branch.

What a branch defines
The branch form is organised into tabs, and each tab controls a different part of the business.
| Tab | What it sets |
|---|---|
| General | Name, active state, mobile number, address with country, city and area, map location, branch image, whether backorders are allowed, the lead time before an order can be collected, and whether a delivery date may be set on pickup orders |
| Currencies | The base currency, the other currencies this branch accepts, and whether live exchange-rate conversion is used |
| Just-in-time manufacturing | Whether the branch produces on demand, which inventories it produces from, whether availability is checked before accepting, and whether the production order completes automatically |
| Working days | Opening hours per day, with a default set you can apply and then override where a day differs |
| Zones | The delivery zones this branch serves, which is what decides whether a customer's address can be served from here at all |
| Accounting | The income, expense, asset, sales discount, sales return and sales tax accounts this branch posts to |
The accounting tab is the one that quietly matters most. Set per branch, it lets a group of shops share one chart of accounts while still reporting revenue and returns separately - and it is read at the moment a sale posts, so changing it does not restate history.
Add a branch
- Fill the General tab: name, address, contact number and map location. The address feeds delivery, the map location feeds the pickup directions your customers see.
- Set the currency behaviour if the branch takes more than one currency.
- Enter the working days. Anything outside these hours is closed to online ordering for this branch.
- Attach the delivery zones this branch covers, and set Time before order so customers are not promised a collection you cannot make.
- Choose the accounting accounts, then save.
- If the branch sells at a register, complete its POS configuration under POS Branches and its devices under Devices.

Standard list tools
Every list page in OSOSS shares these controls:
- Manage columns - the icon at the right edge of the header row: search columns, tick to show or hide, drag to reorder. Your selection persists for your user.
- Quick search - matches the page's primary field.
- Filter chips + More Filters - the chips are your defaults; More Filters exposes the full set below.
- Save Filter / Saved Filters - name a filter combination and recall it in one click; one can be your default view.
- Reset - clears filters back to defaults.
- Export All - downloads the current filtered rows with exactly the columns you have selected.
- Focus - hides the surrounding chrome for a full-width table.
- Row selection - the header checkbox selects the page or all matching rows, enabling bulk actions.
- Rows per page and page jumper - at the foot of the table.
- Custom fields - anything you define under Settings > Custom Fields appears here as both a column and a filter.

What you can do on this page
Every action on this page, step by step. What you see depends on your role, so a control your account is not set up for simply does not appear.
Add a record
- Click Add above the table - some pages label it New or show a + icon.
- Complete the form. Required fields carry a red asterisk and the form will not submit until they are filled.
- Click Save. Validation runs on submit; any field that fails shows its message directly beneath itself, and the form scrolls to the first problem.
- You land back on the list with the new record in place.
This form carries 26 fields, grouped into sections and tabs so you meet them a few at a time. Only the required ones block saving - fill those, save, then come back and enrich the record. Every field is listed under Form fields in the reference below.
Edit a record
- Open the row's actions menu at the end of the row and choose Edit, or open the record and use Edit there.
- The form loads with current values. Change only what you need.
- Click Save.
Open and read a record
- Click the row, or choose View in the row's actions menu.
- The detail page shows the record's own fields, its related documents, and the actions that apply to it in its current state.
- Use the breadcrumb or your browser's back button to return - your filters, sort, and page position are preserved.
Export the list
- Filter and choose your columns first - the export mirrors exactly what is on screen, not the whole table.
- Click Export All.
- The file downloads as a spreadsheet: one row per record, your visible columns in your order.
