ROSEWHAT'S NEWOne item, for sale at every location you choose
If you have more than one Square location, an item can now be for sale at several of them – with its own quantity at each, just as Square keeps it. Move stock between locations in one step, and each sale comes off the location it was rung up at.
SELLS AT
Every item has a SELLS AT list of your Square locations. Switch on where it’s for sale and type how many are at each. QUANTITY becomes the total.
Move stock
MOVE STOCK moves units from one location to another – in Rose and in Square (a transfer), with a movement on the item’s history.
Sales where they happen
A sale comes off the quantity at the location it was rung up at, and counts toward that location’s sales totals.
In step with Square
Square’s count at each location comes back to Rose. If someone changes the item’s locations in the Square dashboard, Rose follows.
Inventory Count knows
Counting a location expects only the quantity that’s meant to be there, and fixes are made at that location.
Vendors too (if you allow it)
Turn on VENDORS CAN SELL AN ITEM AT MORE THAN ONE LOCATION and myPortal vendors set SELLS AT and the quantities on their own items.

Questions
Does anything change for my current items?
No. An item sells at its home location only until you switch on another location.
What is QUANTITY now?
For an item at several locations QUANTITY is the total of all of them, so labels, reports and sold-out work as before. Change the quantities in SELLS AT.
Which location does a sale count toward?
The location it was rung up at in Square. A sale entered in Rose comes off the location on the sales line.
What happens when one location runs out?
Square shows the item as sold out at that location while it keeps selling at the others. When the total reaches 0 the item is sold out everywhere, as before.
Can I take a location off again?
Yes – switch it off and save. Its stock is counted at the home location from then on.
