Yes, inventory location should be able to be allocated at line item level. It could be a hide/reveal line field. At present the workflow is to record both items for ABC company location and then do an Inventory transfer to transfer 1 of the items to xyz company location ---

It sounds like you’re using one warehouse but for two separate front-facing businesses. Are the business names cosmetic only, for customers? Or do you actually report to the tax authority as two separate businesses as well? ---

It will be helpful if you explain more fully the structure of your business(es). From what you have written so far you are using the ABC company to purchase inventory, and some of that inventory is used by xyz company. I think that if they are two distinct companies that report separately for tax purposes then all the accounting should be done separately, including inventory purchases. Without knowing the structure in more detail it is difficult to advise a solution for you. ---

I am under the same impression as @AJD and agree. If these are two separate entities for tax purposes, you should create them as two separate businesses in Manager. This also means that any inventory/stock purchases should be separate for each one. Then you won’t have any issues reporting Profit & Loss, as the built-in reports will do everything you need. ---

I have a shop and inventory is also on same location. Issue is that same shop is holding two different names. So if we deliver a product it is getting delivered by two different names. Because places where we deliver products they are tax exemption . So now if product is out from any company it is getting minus because its going from stor ---

You may be better off speaking to an accountant that understands your local tax requirements. They can advise you further. ---

This is sounding more and more like one company with two divisions or profit centers operating under different names. @AJD originally posted the solution to this, but deleted the post when discussion pointed towards two different companies. @hussainiii, if your two operations are actually part of the same legal entity, but operating under different names, tracking codes are the perfect solution. That is what they were designed for. See [Use divisions for the Profit and Loss Statement | Manager](https://www.manager.io/guides/8956). You will be able to define profit and loss statements for each tracking code separately. ---

> [@Tut](#): > > @AJD originally posted the solution to this, but deleted the post when discussion pointed towards two different companies. Yeah, we now have a bit more information, and it appears that splitting the inventory is only required at the point of selling the inventory so Tracking codes can be applied then. Tracking codes can’t be used when purchasing the inventory, that is why I deleted the post to get more information as I did not want to confuse. If it was required to have separate values for each company’s inventory on the balance sheet then different advise would be needed. It now appears that this is not the requirement. ---
