(Optional) Buyouts: Setting Up to Update a Single Department

For A/P and/or G/L users only

If you want sales, cost of goods sold (COGS), and purchases data from buyout items to be attributed to one department, regardless of the actual department of the item sold, complete the following procedure. This procedure is optional.

  1. In the Department Maintenance window, create a department for buyout items. When the order transaction is invoiced, the sales and COGS data for buyout items will be attributed to this department, regardless of the actual department of the item sold.

  2. If you pass off to General Ledger by department, create G/L accounts for Buyout Purchases, COGS, Sales, and any other accounts that are pertinent to your business, and enter those accounts in the Setup GL Passoff window under the Buyout department.

  1. In the Options Configuration window, display all POS Options. Scroll down to the option "Department used to maintain Buyout account" (ID# 5352). Enter the department you just created in step 1 and then click Change.
