It is nothing but consider as purchase for branch from h.o while sales for h.o to branch.

As we r debiting purchase A/c, here goods received from h.o a/c will be debiting in branch book,while as we r crediting sales a/c here goods sent to branch will be crediting in h.o books,

so logic of term is same as purchase n sales but diffrent in its name , bec branch / h.o is doing inter trading hence this a/c is used.

Branch is not a separate legalentity; it is simply a segment of business.

In order to exercise great controlover the branches it isnecessary to ascertain profit orloss made by such branchesseparately.

For the Goods Sent to Branch we can use the stock tranfer out invoice... there is no need to collect the vat. but you need to show the vat retun as stock tranfer out that value. you can sent it on the item cost.
