Edit a Department Record

Department Field Descriptions | Department Overview

You can freely edit department records as needed. However, read the notes below about the effect of editing specific department fields.

To edit a department record:

1. Highlight or select the department record you want to modify.

2. Select Edit from the window tool bar.

3. Modify the department fields, as necessary.

4. Select Save.

If you want to edit multiple records at one time in your department list, you can do so by turning on list edit mode.

Notes:

- Editing a department name in the department file does not change the name on item records in inventory. To correct inventory items, you must edit the department name for each item assigned to that department to reflect the new name.

- Changes to a department name are automatically reflected in other program areas and on reports.

- Editing the margin/markup or tax code does not update existing items in inventory. These values are used only when adding new items to inventory. My markup value sometimes changes right after I enter it. Why?
