Departments

Updated August 23, 2024

Applies to : Cost Centers, Job Costing, Estimate/Order Entry.

In the Enterprise 32 system, departments are groupings of processes, employees and materials for Shop Floor Data Collection purposes. The user may define the departments in a way that will make the most sense considering a particular production environment.

Typical examples would be: Prepress, Sheetfed Press, Web Press, Machine Bindery, Hand Bindery and Copy Center.

Departments will not be used when entering an estimate or an order. Typically, a department will include one or several data collection workstations.  The following discussion will describe how to create departments for use within a Shop Floor Data Collection environment.

Select Job Costing/Maintenance/Departments and the system will display the "Departments" screen.

The screen will show a list of departments and function buttons to add, edit or delete a department.
