Locations are normally different physical locations where you consult or operate.

Locations allow for the separation of banking records (Deposit and EFTPOS supplements) and also allow for printers to be configured for the same login by location.  In some instances a location may be added for a location within a building.  We recommend that you speak to us about your requirements so that we can correctly advise you on the optimum configuration for your practice.
