Setting up Divisions, Departments and Product
After the header names are set up, divisions, departments or products may be entered. This feature gives you the opportunity to break account headers into smaller groupings on the Operating Statement. These subgroups may be actual divisions, departments or products or they may be groups unique to your organization. The system will default to zero if no divisions, departments or products are entered. Use these defaults if you do not want any breakdown on your Operating Statements past the account header number.
To add or edit a new division, department or product, complete the following procedures:
1. Select the Data Entry tab, System Utilities Module and double-click on the Module step Add/Edit Division, Department, Product Input/Edit.
2. The G/L Departments setup screen will be displayed.
3. Enter the division information. The first division number will show as the default on other data entry screens such as invoices.
4. Continue by adding department and product information. Press Ctrl + "Ribbon" (or click the mouse on the department field) to go to the department section or the product section.
5. Press the [Close Window] button to save any changes and return to the Main Module.
Note: To edit a division, department or product, change its status to Delete and add the correct information to the bottom of the table.
