Company Departments

You can set up multiple Company Departments. Departments are not used as extensively as Company Branches. Here are the places where Department is used, and the source for the default value, if any:

Contains Department	Default from
Employee	(Manual)
Purchase Order	Ordered By Employee

Setting up a Company Department:

•	On the Work Menu at the top of the screen, click the System down-arrow, and select Company Departments.

•	The smaller-size Lookup screen will appear. (To add or change a record, see Small Lookup, Add or Edit.)

•	Next, the Company Departments Details screen will appear. This screen has a second Tab for Notes.

Screen fields:

Company Department Name:

Required. The descriptive name for this Department, such as "Accounting" or "Support," according to the groupings suitable for your Company.

Is Active:

Use the checkbox to indicate currently used by your Company. If you later remove the check-mark making this field Inactive, this entry will still show on older records where it has already been used, but will not be available for use in the future.

The default for the Lookup screen is to show Only Active records. You can remove the check-mark from the select-box on that screen and view all.

When complete:

Click OK to save your entries and exit the screen.
