Advanced Options - Departments
This screen can be accessed from INSTALLATION Workshop by selecting from the menu Install|Advanced|Departments.
Tick this option to operate CAPITAL in multi-department mode. CAPITAL will prompt for department codes where applicable. Supplier expenses can also be coded by department when this option is activated.
Override Default Department
Untick this option if you want to "set" and stay in one department while working with transactions. CAPITAL will warn you if you edit a transaction that requires the system to change the department, or if you have selected a department that is different from the one you are currently in.
Tick 
this option if you want the system to automatically switch departments and not advise you that it has
made the switch. This is useful if you have already assigned default department codes to your customer
and supplier records and wish the department to change automatically, depending on the account you are
creating the transaction for.
Reset to Default Department
Tick
this option if you want CAPITAL to always return to the default department setting before commencing a
new function/operation. This can prevent users from accidentally invoicing, etc., from the wrong department
when most activity only involves the default department.
Prompt For Department
Tick
this option if you want CAPITAL to prompt you for a department code when entering transactions such as
invoices, sales orders, etc.
Default Department
The default department to be used unless otherwise specified. If your company does not have multiple departments or branches, this field should be left blank. This option is ignored if multi-department mode is not activated.
You can set multiple default departments within the same company by using Transaction Control Files. (Enterprise & Corporate Edition Only.)
Use the Reset to Default Department option to force the system to use the
default department code for all new transactions. If this option is not selected, the last department
used/referenced is retained for subsequent transactions.
Departments & Security
Some of the above options do not apply if departmental security restrictions are invoked. For more information on this subject consult the topic: Departmental Security.
