Company Departments

The Company Departments screen lists all departments that are used in the application across the entire company. Departments are used to group products and limit purchasing access to those products. The company departments are linked to location departments, which are then linked to application users. Application users can order only the products associated with their particular location department(s).

Note: If a "Default Company Department" is defined in the Preferences screen (see "General Preferences" for more details), users will not be allowed to delete that department record in this screen.

Under the Corporate menu, click Company Departments.

Click the Plus (Add) icon.
Enter a Code and Department Name.
When ready, click the Disk (Save) icon to save your changes.
When finished, click the Home (Dashboard) icon to exit the screen.

If necessary, you can click on a row and click the Trash Can (Delete) icon to remove it.

Next Step: Link products to the new department
