Locations

Note: This feature is currently in early access and is available only for the organizations in the India edition of Zoho Expense. Write to us at support@zohoexpense.com to enable this feature for your organization.

Your organization might have multiple locations spread across the country. If your organization is stationed at multiple states in India, you will have to deal with two or more unique GSTINs. You will also have to associate certain transactions and users to a particular location.

In Zoho Expense, you can create multiple locations and associate those locations with users and transactions in Zoho Expense. This way, you can all manage your business expenditures incurred across multiple locations with different GSTINs.

Note: You can create a maximum of 200 locations in Zoho Expense.
