| To add or edit existing product departments, when logged in as an administrator, type \\DEPT and hit enter – you’ll then be presented with a list of existing departments, along with add and edit buttons. Enter a code, description, and if applicable set the sales nominal and cost nominal codes in the drop-downs.
You also have the option to add a department under a ‘parent’ department. This means that you can add another level to your reporting if you feel that is necessary. Here is an example of when you might use this – You are running a cafe and therefore have a parent department of Food & Beverage, you may then choose to have departments sitting under that department of ‘Hot food’, ‘Cold drinks’ etc.
Products can then be set in to these departments using the department drop-down on the edit product screen (\\PROD). When setting up a till for the first time, think about what Departments you might need, and create these so that when you Add products later, the departments will appear in the relevant drop-down list. Departments are useful for analysing sales by type of product or product group, for instance in TengoCloud sales can be grouped by Department. |
