About Departments

Cadzow 2000 uses Departments in Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable to:

  1. Provide letterhead/invoice/order heading information for transactions;

  2. Provide the ability to perform transactions under different legal entities within the same database;

  3. Provide the ability to perform transactions under different trading names of the same legal entity within the same database;

  4. Optionally, to delineate stock so that it can only be used under a certain department; and

  5. Specify debtors/creditors/GST/suspense account codes used when exporting to the General Ledger.

There must be at least one department.

  4. If your intention is to issue a single statement which groups together multiple departments, go to Statements and select the department whose details will be shown on the statements.
