Add a New Department

How do I? | Plan Your Departments | Department Overview

To add a new department:

1. Select New Department from the Inventory menu.

Or, if your department list is already displayed, select New Department from the window toolbar.

A blank department form is opened.

2. Enter a Department name (required).

3. Enter any additional information in the optional department fields.

4. Select Save or Save & New (if immediately adding another record).

Notes:

- If you imported inventory items from QuickBooks, all the imported items were put into a single department named QuickBooks. Review, add, or edit departments as needed to make them useful for your purposes. If you edit a department name, be sure to reassign the new name to items in inventory that are in that department.

- New departments can also be added directly in the department list using list edit mode.

- (Pro) Only Headquarters can add or edit departments.

- My markup value sometimes changes right after I enter it. Why?
