Department F/M (GLF955)

Use the Department F/M program to create and maintain department records to be imbedded in the General Ledger account number.

Processing Details

Each of the department records contains a department number and description. Department numbers and their descriptions are determined entirely by the user. Departments are used throughout the system for posting to General Ledger. The department may be imbedded within the GL account number and the proper department may be inserted in the account number when appropriate. For example, if posting sales by department, when an invoice is entered, it is assigned a department (example: 02). When posting to the sales account number (example: 410-00 where -00 indicates department) to general ledger, the system can insert the department and post to the proper account number (example: 410-02). This file is referenced by the GL financial reports to print by department.
