#6 Zoho Books Digest

Hello readers,

Hope you all are keeping well. We are back with the sixth edition of the Zoho Books Digest. Here's what we are presenting to our community members this month:

Feature Spotlight

This month, we are highlighting the 'Branches' feature in Zoho Books. This feature is now available in the Global, India, UK, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman editions.

As your business grows, you may need to expand by opening up new outlets in new locations. And when that happens, checking the performance of individual branches and tracking their transactions separately becomes essential. The Branches feature in Zoho Books allows you to manage all of your branches under one organization.

By enabling the Branches feature, you can:

Add multiple branches in your Zoho Books organization
Configure separate transaction series for each branch
Manage transactions across all branches
Track the performance of each branch individually

The Branches feature is available in the Premium and higher plans of the above-mentioned editions.

To enable Branches: Go to Settings > Branches > Enable Branches.

Learn more about Branches from our help document.

What's New in June 2021

The feature update that we're highlighting this month is the Zia Search feature, which has been released in all the Zoho Books editions.

Zoho Books always had powerful search options, and now, with Zia Search, you can expand the scope of your search to include all of your Zoho apps.

Check out all our other updates.
