Manage Locations

Reflections EPOS allows you to have multiple locations for your store. Each store location can be managed from a single login but requires a separate license for each site.

If you only have one store location, then by default all items, inventory, and sales will be tied to that location. When you create multiple locations, your options on almost all the other features in the software will change. Things such as inventory, taxes, and deliveries will need the location specified.

Locations can be managed in the left menu:

To create a new location, navigate to the Locations main feature page.

Once the page opens, click the + New Location button in the top right.

This opens the Location Information page where you can fill out all the location details. Any field in red is a required field.

Name
This is the name linked to your site location. Make the name memorable and intuitive so that you can remember which location is tied to it.

Color
When there are multiple locations a user can log into, it may be helpful to have a visual reminder of which location they have chosen. Click the field to select a color for the location.

The color selected will display in the top left of the screen behind the PHP POS logo so that a user can easily see which location they are logged into.

Company Name
Enter the name of the company in charge of the location.

Tax ID
Enter the tax ID associated with that location

Company Logo
If you have a logo for your company that you want to show up on receipts, you can upload one here for the location. Click Choose File and select an image from your device.

Delete Logo
If you uploaded the wrong file for your logo, check the box and click Save to delete the uploaded file.

E-Mail all Receivings to E-Mail

Return Policy
Enter the return policy for your store location here. This information can be printed on receipts.

Employees
In order for an employee to sign into a store location, they must first be assigned to that location. Click in the field and start to type an employee name, matching employees will appear in the dropdown to select. You can select multiple employees for every location and employees can be assigned to more than one location.

Registers
Registers are used for cash tracking, credit card processing, and knowing what registers sales have been completed on. For more information on registers and setting them up, see the documentation here.

Enable Credit Card Processing
See documentation here on enabling credit card processing.

Disable Markup/Markdown
In Store Config there are options to create markups and markdowns based on payment types - if you do not want these options to apply to a location then click the checkbox for this feature. For more information about markups and markdowns see the documentation on store config here.

Auto E-Mail Reports Address
Enter the address you want to receive auto reports.

Auto E-Mail Reports Time
Click the dropdown to select what time your close-out reports will be emailed to you every day.

Day to Email Report For
Click the dropdown to select whether you want the closeout report to be sent for the current day’s information or if reports should go out containing data from the previous business day.

Receive Stock Alerts
If you would like to receive email notifications for low inventory, enable stock alerts. These alerts only work when the inventory changes as a result of a sale. For example, if the last of an item is sold to a customer, the stock alert will go out, but if an employee manually adjusts the inventory to 0 for an item, no alert will be triggered. Once you have two new fields will appear:

Stock Alert Email - Enter the email that stock alerts should be sent to

Alert Only For Items With Re-Order Level - This means that you only want to receive alerts for items that have a reorder level set, and that have an inventory that has hit the reorder level. This means you will not get any alerts for 0 inventory items that were never given a reorder point.

Time Zone
Click the dropdown to see all the available time zones. The time zone you select will set the time for all receipts and reports generated in the system for the location.

Edit a Location
