Hi, I’m exploring the differences between the Company and Branch Product setup in >> Categories Expense Account and Product Expense Account.

In my database, I have a COMPANY with several BRANCHES. I set up my products at the company level, assigning both an expense account and a category expense account to each product.

product setup Example:  

Product Name     Expense Account                                     Category  Expense Account

Battery                622001 Vehicle Expenses - Battery        620000 Admin Expense

Company Log in "USER'S ACCESS is INVOICING" in Accounting App

• Create a billing expense "in Vendor > Bill ", choose my vendor then add product "clicking the Add a Line the account expense is automatically generated from the default product Expense Account 622001 Vehicle Expenses - Battery then saved it after filling out the other details.

• Create a billing expense "in Vendor > Bill ", choose my vendor then add product, clicking the Add a Line the account expense is automatically generated from the default product   Category  Expense Account 620000 Admin Expense?

Question based on my analyzation. 

Remember, I set up my products in the COMPANY, and I expect this setup to apply to the Branches as well. However, why is there no EXPENSE ACCOUNT setup for products in the Branches?

Do I need to set up my products again in every company branch?

I understand the purpose of the external ID in existing products it's a big help for this setup. However, my expectation is that when I set up products in my company, they will be automatically available to the branches. This is because my branches do not have their own settings or configurations, nor do they have access to the company or other branches.
