Hi,

In Odoo multi-branch setup, each transaction (Sales, Purchase, POS, Expense, Invoice) has a Branch field.

When you create a record, the branch is automatically assigned based on the user’s branch.

You can filter or group reports (Sales, Purchases, POS, Expenses, Accounting) directly by Branch.

This gives you branch-wise totals without any extra configuration.

You do not need to create separate Analytic Accounts just for branch reporting.

Analytic Accounts are only needed if you want to track additional dimensions like projects, cost centers, or campaigns inside a branch.

For simple branch-level reporting (P&L, sales, expenses), use the Branch field directly.

Combining Branch + Analytic Accounts is optional if you want both branch view and detailed project/cost tracking together.

Hope it helps
