### Who It’s For
This report is for anyone who needs to keep tabs on where money is coming from and where it’s going, broken down by location. That includes bookkeepers and accountants who manage multi-site businesses, and owners who want to stop relying on “gut feel” when the numbers vary from store to store.
If you’re constantly asking questions like, “Which location is driving this balance?” or “Are we coding everything consistently across sites?” this report is built for that.
### What It Does
The Locations List gives you a clean, centralized view of your locations so you can understand how transactions and balances map to each site.
You can use it to:
- Confirm every location that’s set up in GlassJar, without hunting through settings
- See location details in one place so updates don’t get missed
- Validate that transactions are tied to the correct location before reports go out
- Spot inconsistencies when one site’s reporting looks off compared to the others
- Support cleaner month-end review by making location mapping easier to audit
### Use Cases
1. Month-End Review Across Multiple Stores
A bookkeeper runs the Locations List before closing the month. They notice one location name doesn’t match how it appears on recent invoices, so transactions were being split across two entries. They fix the location mapping, then rerun their balances. Close day goes from tense and slow to straightforward.
2. Checking Consistency After Adding A New Location
A growing business opens a new site and starts routing vendor bills through it. After setup, the owner uses the Locations List to verify the new location exists, looks correct, and aligns with how transactions are tagged. They avoid the situation where a new location “sort of” exists in the system, but reports don’t line up properly later.
3. Investigating One Location With Unusual Activity
A controller sees that one location’s expenses are trending differently from the rest. Before digging through transactions, they pull the Locations List to confirm the location is correctly defined and active. Once they’re confident the location is real and properly set up, they drill into transactions knowing they’re looking at the right bucket, not some misfiled sibling.
4. Preparing For A Location Migration Or Vendor Change
A company is consolidating locations and updating how vendor services are billed. They use the Locations List to make a checklist of what locations exist right now, which ones will remain, and what needs to be updated. That reduces surprises during migration and helps keep the numbers reasonable while accounting codes are transitioning. If someone says “it should be fine,” this report is the thing that keeps that claim from going unverified.
