Add each plant or entity you run, set its details and time zone, and switch between them from one login.

A company in Bettr Manager is one plant or legal entity — a production site, a commissary, a distribution operation. You add one for each place you run, and everything else in Bettr Manager (products, stock, orders, records) belongs to a company. Open Companies to add one or open one you already have.
Open the new-company form
On the companies list, select New.
Name the company
Give it a Name and a short Code — the code shows next to the name
everywhere it appears, like AVA_1. Add a Description so anyone can tell
the sites apart.
Link it to Odoo (optional)
If you run Odoo, enter its Odoo company ID so the two line up. Leave it blank if you don't.
Create it
Leave Active checked and select Create. The company joins the list.
Open a company from the list and select Edit — or the pencil that appears on its row. The edit drawer holds three groups of settings, and each one saves on its own:
Three buttons, three saves
Saving the details doesn't save the time zone or the regulatory fields, and the other way around. Use each section's own button so nothing you changed gets left behind.
Each company keeps its own products, stock, orders, and records, so you always work in one company at a time. When you belong to more than one, a company picker sits in the top bar — pick another company and the whole app moves to it. With a single company, the picker just shows its name.
While you're in the middle of adding or editing certain records, the picker locks, so you can't strand a half-finished record in the wrong company. Finish or close what you started and it unlocks.
When a site closes, open it and select Delete company in the danger zone. That hides it from every company list and the picker.
Deleting can't be undone
A deleted company won't come back in any list or the picker. Its records stay in place for audit and traceability — nothing is erased — but you can't restore the company itself.
