Branches and warehouses
See the branches your business operates and create the warehouses under them, which is where stock physically sits and transfers move between.
Updated 12 September 2026
Branches and warehouses describe where your business operates. A branch is a business location. Each warehouse belongs to a branch, and your stock is held in warehouses. So every receipt, sale, adjustment and transfer happens at a warehouse.
View branches
- Go to Configuration.
- Open Branch and Warehouse.
- Select the Branches tab.
The tab lists your existing branches. Each branch is a registered business location.
You cannot create a branch from this screen. A notice on the page asks you to contact Kuver Books directly, because each extra branch needs a separate product licence. See the pricing page for what each plan covers, or contact us to discuss it.
Warehouses and inventory belong to a branch. In reports, you can group financial and operational data by branch.
View warehouses
Open the Warehouses tab. The listing shows your warehouses with search, filtering and export, and an option to view inactive warehouses.
Create a warehouse
- Go to Configuration.
- Open Branch and Warehouse.
- Select the Warehouses tab.
- Click Add Warehouse.
Fill in:
- Warehouse Name, required.
- Select Branch, required.
- Same Address as Branch, a toggle.
- Warehouse Location, required.
- City.
- State, required.
- ZIP Code.
- Primary Contact Number, required.
- Primary Contact Person.
- Primary Email Address.
When Same Address as Branch is on, Kuver Books copies the address from the branch. Switch it off to enter a different address.
Click Save Details to create the warehouse, or Cancel to discard. You can use the new warehouse in inventory transactions straight away.
The default warehouse
Kuver Books creates a default warehouse for you. If you open it, a warning says it cannot be changed, because a change may affect financial reports. Do not try to edit it. Create your own warehouses next to it.
How to plan warehouses
Create a warehouse for each place where you keep stock apart and want to count it apart: a shop floor, a godown, a second storage room. Do not create one for each shelf. Every warehouse you add must be counted and checked at year end, and stock must be transferred between them.
