Overview
Go to Management --> Hierarchy --> Store --> Virtual store
Virtual stores are created when the user needs to create a cost center that is not an actual physical store. Typically a virtual store has no physical location or inventory. The store can be linked to a warehouse or another store from which the inventory is sold from. When a sale is processed from a virtual store a corresponding transfer from the linked store to the virtual store is also processed.
