The Power of Organisational Structure in QuickEasy BOS: Entities, Branches, and Beyond

QuickEasy BOS Entities

QuickEasy BOS offers a versatile structure for organisations to manage and analyse the financial and operational aspects of their varying branches and departments. By setting up different types of entities, businesses can gain specific insights into each segment’s performance, facilitating better decision-making and strategic planning.

Recognising the Importance of Registered Entities

  • Definition: A Registered Entity represents the primary legal entity of the organisation. This entity type includes the main office or the parent company that holds its own VAT, income tax, and company registration numbers.
  • Usage: Use this entity type to manage and report on the overarching financial status of your entire organisation. It serves as the umbrella entity under which other sub-entities operate.

Creating Departments

  • Definition: A Department is a subset within a division focusing on a particular administrative function or support service, such as Human Resources, Finance, or Customer Service.
  • Usage: Departments allow for detailed management and assessment of specific administrative functions, helping to optimise operations and resource allocation.

Incorporating Branches

  • Definition: Branches are individual locations or outlets of an organisation. They operate under the main corporate umbrella but are geographically distinct.
  • Usage: Branches are crucial for businesses like retail chains, where local presence and performance are key metrics for success.

Managing Non-Registered Entities

Besides the registered entities, QuickEasy BOS allows for the creation of non-registered entities such as cost centres, stock locations and point of sale tills. These entities do not require legal registrations but are essential for internal management.

  • Cost Centres: Allocate costs and revenues to understand the profitability of specific projects or services.
  • Stock Locations: Manage inventory across various storage locations or warehouses to optimise stock levels and reduce carrying costs.
  • Point of Sale Tills: Create multiple tills to manage retail sales and cashing up features.
