How to assign an employee to an outlet, warehouse or business unit

Web Android iOS Updated Aug 2026

An employee’s cost should land where they actually work. RushFlow lets you assign each employee so their salary and other costs are allocated to the right place — an outlet, a warehouse, a business unit, or head office — and roll up into that segment’s profit & loss. You can even split one person across several destinations when they genuinely serve more than one.

Step by step

  1. Open the employeeWeb: open Employees → the employee (or Create Employee). App: open the HRM workspace → the employee (or Add employee).
  2. Set their branch and allocationChoose the employee’s branch, and set where their cost is allocated — an outlet, warehouse, business unit or head office. Split across several if needed.
  3. SaveFrom now on, this employee’s salary and any employee costs post to the allocated destination(s) and appear in that segment’s P&L.

Where to find it

Web: the Employees screen. Management app (Android/iOS): the HRM workspace → the employee record.

This assignment is what makes per-branch and per-business-unit profitability include the right labour cost — not just sales.

Why assignment matters

Labour is one of the biggest costs, so if it isn’t attributed, a branch or unit’s profit is meaningless. Assigning employees puts wages where the work happens.
