Department table

Information

The Department table contains information for groups of items like taxability or restrictors. Some points of sale, especially cash registers, use department keys to sell non-coded items. The eSuite software uses departments to group coded items and direct key sales for reporting.

Instead of directly linking coded items to departments, eSuite employs sub-departments to group items and then links the sub-departments to departments. This approach facilitates an additional report level, enabling the regrouping of item codes in a more specific manner.

Sub-departments have individual settings, including taxability or maximum and minimum entries for sales and voids. These settings are applicable when performing coded item or direct key sales.
