How to Create a Department/ Sub-Department

We understand that taxes may be different for each department. Therefore, our system enables you to assign products to a department, and each department can have its own tax rate. This greatly increases the flexibility of setting up taxes.

Create a Department

Click the "ADD DEPARTMENT" button at the top-right corner.
