Hi Community

I am setting up a client with multiple companies in the same tenant, who have chosen to use departments as branches. My challenge is that each company has a similar department, e.g. MKT (Marketing). It doesn’t appear to be possible to allow a branch with the same name to be added to each company.

I have tried with branch balancing and not balancing.

Is there a way around this please? 

TIA

​@BarbaraPietersen23   All branches are in a single table, and thus, there cannot be two MKT branches for two separate companies.  Have you considered using a prefix or suffix on the branch record?  I have done this and have also used subaccounts to achieve the proper reporting.

    Thanks - that is as I suspected, but needed confirmation.
