Many branches. One set of books.

A business unit is a branch, shop or department that issues its own numbered documents but shares the company's ledger, chart of accounts and VAT books. Report on the whole, without consolidating anything.

  • Units with a short code and name
  • Document numbering per unit
  • Shared ledger and VAT books
  • POS terminals can belong to a unit

What you get

Run several shops, branches or departments in one set of books, with document numbering per unit.

Structure without separate companies

Use units when the branches are one legal entity. Use Multi-company when they are not. Nefin supports both, and they compose.

Numbering that reads like the branch

Each unit keeps its own sequence per document type, so INV-PRI-0042 and INV-PEJ-0042 are both valid and unmistakable.

One ledger, one filing

All units post into the same chart of accounts and the same Libri i Shitjes, so there is nothing to merge at month-end.

Fits the till

A POS terminal can be tied to a unit so every sale it posts carries the branch, numbering included.

How it works

  1. 1

    Create units

    Settings → Business units. Give each a short code (up to 10 characters) and a name.

  2. 2

    Set numbering per unit

    Settings → Numbering lets each unit have its own prefix and counter for invoices and bills, or inherit the company default.

  3. 3

    Assign documents

    Pick the unit when creating an invoice or bill. Users who work in one branch can have it default.

  4. 4

    Report

    Company-wide reports include every unit. Filter lists and exports by unit when you need the branch view.

Frequently asked

When should I use business units instead of multiple companies?

Use units when the branches share one legal entity, one VAT registration and one set of books. Create separate companies when each entity files its own VAT and accounts.

Can two units share the same invoice numbering?

Yes. A unit without its own sequence uses the company-wide sequence. Only units you give a sequence to number independently.

Do units change how VAT books are produced?

No. The sales and purchase books are per company, which is what TAK expects when the units are one legal entity. Unit is available as a filter on the underlying lists.
