Categorise client transactions or to assist with stock control.
Define different areas of the clinic where there is a desire to track sales or stock, for example, Pet Counter, Farm Counter, Vet's Car.
Track the transactions for different branches of a single clinic. Each clinic entity can also have individual departments.
Using departments facilitates reporting from different areas or branches of the clinic and can also be very helpful during stocktaking by grouping stock that should be in the same part of the practice.
To set up Departments
Multiple departments can be set up within VisionVPM.
Go to: Main menu > Maintenance module > Maintenance menu > Lookup Lists > General Lists >Departments.
Click Insert.
Enter the Code. This must be a number; letters cannot be used.
Enter the Name of the department. This should be descriptive enough for the department to be easily identified.
If more than one clinic is used in VisionVPM, the appropriate clinic for the department should be selected.
