You can use FirstBIT ERP system for accounting by departments. To analyze the company profit and loss by departments, create its structure in this catalog. To make this catalog available, enable the ‘Accounting by Several Departments (two or more)’ option in the ‘Enterprise’ section (to learn more about the section settings, see par. Settings for the 'Enterprise' section).
To access the catalog, go to the ‘Accounting’ section (see figure below).

By default, the system has one department that can be edited. To do so, press the ‘More’ button in the catalog right side toolbar and select ‘Edit’ from the drop-down list or double-click the line with the department name. You can right-click the line instead of pressing the ‘More’ button. To learn more about editing, see par. Create and edit department. To see how to build the structure, please refer to the same paragraph.
As the list is filled and for convenience of work, you can change its display settings. Press the ‘More’ button in the catalog right side toolbar and select ‘Configure list...’ from the drop-down list. To learn more about the lists display settings, see par. Work with the item list.
Each user can assign the department with which he works more often than with the others in the system. To do so, log in the user's account in the system. In the catalog, select the line with the department name and press Set As a Default Department button (it is located on the toolbar above). After applying this option, the department will be listed in bold type and the system will use it in the documents. Also, you can change the default department in the Personal settings section.
