Department

The Department (DEPT) table defines valid Department codes for a specific fiscal year. Department is a centralized or decentralized organizational Chart of Accounts element. Refer to the "Organization Elements" topic in the CGI Advantage - Chart of Accounts User Guide for more information.

Configuration Points:

• This table also allows you to assign a Central Buyer/Team and/or a Decentralized Buyer/Team for a specific Department. Advantage assigns workload based on the Department if one is not provided for the Commodity or Unit. Buyers must first be set up on the Buyer table, and Buyer Teams must first be set up on the Buyer Team table.

• Using the first commodity line on a transaction, if the Line Amount is greater than the Threshold field on the URCTRL table, then the department's Central Buyer/Buyer Team is assigned. Otherwise, the department's Decentralized Buyer/Buyer Team is assigned.
