A department groups similar work centers. Set up departments so that you can review labor capacity and costing in a meaningful way.

Use Department Maintenance (14.1) to define departments and set up labor capacity and GL accounts for each department. Labor, burden, and cost of production are posted to the GL by department. Capacity Resource Planning (CRP) uses labor capacity to calculate capacity and load by department.

See User Guide: QAD Manufacturing for more information on departments.
