Creating and Managing Branches in Wafeq


Branches in Wafeq help you organize your company’s financial operations in a flexible and structured way. You can filter reports by branch, allowing you to analyze the performance of each business location independently.

What are branches?

Branches are operational units under the parent company. It is recommended to add branches if you manage multiple locations.

How to Add a New Branch

Click Branches from the main menu, then click the Add button.

How to Add a New Branch


Fill in the branch details as follows:

  • Branch Logo: You could upload a branch logo. Later, you can replace or remove it.
  • Branch Name: Enter the branch's legal name, as officially registered.
  • Display Name: Enter a short, easy-to-use name for internal purposes.

This display name helps with internal navigation and will be shown instead of the full legal name inside the system. It will not appear on official documents like invoices or PDF files.

  • Phone: Enter the branch’s phone number.
  • ID Type and Number: Choose the official license type (e.g., Commercial Registration or Ministry of Human Resources License), and enter its number.
  • Address: Enter the full branch address (street, district, city, postal code).

After completing the form, click Save.

Editing Branch Details

To edit an existing branch, go to the Branches page, click the desired branch, update the information as needed, then click Save.

Branch Activation

When you create a new branch in Wafeq, it is automatically activated. This means you can immediately use it in transactions like invoices, expenses, and reports.

If you later deactivate the branch:

  • It will no longer appear in dropdowns when creating new documents.
  • Reports related to that branch will also become unavailable.

To reactivate an inactive branch, go to the Branches page from the main menu. Toggle the Active Switch next to the branch name.

  • Inactive branches will not appear when creating new documents.
  • No reports can be generated for them until the reactivation.

Do You Need a Branch or a New Organization?

In some cases, you may wonder whether to create a new branch or a completely separate organization.

Here’s a simple rule:

  • If each entity has a different tax number, → Create a new organization.
  • If all branches share the same tax number, → Use the Branches feature.
