Topic: Customer Branch and customers

I don't understand why each customer needs a customer branch to create a invoice.  For example, I have 6 retails and one office.  If the staff in one of the retails has to create an invoice for a new customer, why he has to create a new customer branch then a customer?  Isn't it kind of duplicate the effort because the delivery address is linked to customer branch, not customer?  Is there a easier way to do this?

Re: Customer Branch and customers

There is a flag in the file config.php that allows you to create the branch automatically when creating customers. Set this flag to 1.
I cannot recall the name of the flag, I am out of office, but look for yourself.

Set in config.php:

    /* Creates automatic a default branch with contact. Value 0 do not create auto branch */
    $auto_create_branch = 1;
