Sub-department table

Information

The Sub-department table contains information for groups of items. The eSuite software uses sub-departments to group coded items and direct key sales for reporting.

Instead of directly linking coded items to departments, eSuite uses sub-departments to group items, 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 items or direct key sales. You can also program coded items to follow these settings using the POS table.
