A Material Centre is a place where stock is kept. A Material Centre can be a godown, showroom, almirah, locker or any other such place where you keep your stock.

Further if you have created more than one Material Centre master then at the time of voucher entry it is necessary to specify the Material Centre from where the goods are dispatched or where the goods are received. To create a Material Centre master, click Administration à Masters à Material Centre à Add option. On clicking the Add option, a Material Centre Master – Add window appears.
