Different goods in different stores

Main → Goods → swipe a group left → pencil (Edit group)

Do your stores carry different goods? Say Shop 2 sells only drinks, while Main Store and Warehouse also stock tools. Make the Tools & Utilities group visible only in the stores that need it: in Shop 2 the group and everything in it drop out of the Goods list, so whoever works there picks from that shop’s own range.

1. Open Goods at the top level of the catalog — stores are chosen for top-level groups only. Swipe the group’s row to the left and tap the pencil: Edit group opens. (Long-pressing the row → Edit group works too, and is the way in the card view. New group? Tap the folder button, left of +, while you’re at the top level.)

2. Under Visible in Stores:, switch off - All Stores -. A switch for each of your stores appears.

3. Switch on the stores that should see the group — here Main Store and Warehouse — and leave Shop 2 off.

4. Save.

Switch to Shop 2 with Select store, and Tools & Utilities is gone from its Goods list.

What changes in a store that doesn’t see the group

Where	In that store
Goods list and its search	The group, its subgroups and their items are hidden
Adding items to an operation	Hidden from the goods list you pick from. The operation’s store decides — for a Transfer, the store the goods leave
Stock-taking → View missing items	Not listed
Move to group	The group isn’t offered — the button at the top of the picker shows hidden groups too
Scanning a barcode in an operation	Still finds the item — scanning doesn’t look at groups
Quantities and reports	Unchanged — hiding only filters lists; the stock stays where it is
All Stores mode	Everything is shown

Good to know

• Subgroups follow their top-level group. Only a group at the top of the catalog has Visible in Stores:; its subgroups and items are shown or hidden with it. Items that aren’t in any group show in every store.
• One store at least. With - All Stores - off, one store must stay on — otherwise the app says “You should select at least 1 store for which the group will be visible!”
• The store switches save at once, the moment you flip them — leaving the editor without saving doesn’t undo them.
• A new store sees only the shared groups. A store you add later shows the groups set to - All Stores -; for each limited group, open it and switch the new store on.
• Moving a group changes what decides. Moved inside another group, it follows that group’s stores; moved to the top level, it becomes visible in all stores — set its stores again if needed.
• The setting is in both StoDo Simple and StoDo Online, free. Running more than two stores needs Premium — see Free vs Premium; stores are managed on the Stores screen.
• Online: the setting is shared — every user sees the same groups in a store. To choose which stores a user works in, tick their Access to Stores (see Invite users); changing a group’s stores needs Access to Goods → Edit in their profile.
