Setting Up EM Departments

EM Departments assign each piece of equipment to a department that drives GL posting for costs and usage.

Before you start

• Know your GL structure for equipment cost and usage credits.

Steps

1. Open EM Departments.
2. Create each department and assign it to equipment as you add records.
3. On Cost Types, set how costs post to GL.
4. Optionally use Cost Codes for finer cost posting.
5. On the usage side, configure Revenue Breakdown Codes with the credit GL accounts.
6. Use Revenue Codes on the department only if you need more detailed revenue breakdown.
7. Save.

Notes

• Most companies can stop at revenue breakdown codes; add revenue-code detail only when needed.
