Department

Use this feature to apply a different department to the items selected for adjustment. Departments are set up in the CDB (see “Department/Accounts” in Chapter 1 of the CDBWin User’s Guide for more information). The change to the department will be recorded in the CDB after you Distribute to Sites.

When you select items and click the Department button, the following window appears:

Department/Subdepartment List

The main part of the window contains a scrollable list of departments and department numbers. The view of the subdepartments and subdepartment numbers assigned to each can be toggled on and off by clicking the arrow to the left of each department name.

To select departments or subdepartments, select the check box next to them and click OK. The items you selected in the Item Adjustment grid will change accordingly.

If you type a letter or number in the Department box, Central Price Book will assist you in looking up entries that contain your search string.

Tip

In the case of inventory items (Type I) or sale-only items (Type S), the only suggested departments will be those that the system allows to be applied to that specific item type. If you are attempting to change an expense item (Type X) account, the only suggested accounts will be those assigned to expenses.

Keep subdepartments? — When changing a department on an item, you can select this check box to use the subdepartment value of the original department with the new department you select. For example, with the check box selected, if the department on the original item is 8.80, and you select 2.00 from the Department combo box, for speed and convenience the department applied to the item will be 2.80. Subdepartments cannot be applied to expense (Type X) items.

— The Set Department preview shows the existing department vs. the department that will be applied to the items after the adjustment is complete:
