Department Number (Dept. No.)

The "Department Number" feature allows specified assets to be listed together by department on the depreciation and amortization detail report(s) on an entity basis. The departments print in ascending numerical order based on the "Department Number" entry. Subtotals print on the detail depreciation and amortization report(s) for each department, category, and grand total. Enter any number up to 9999.

To provide the name, location, and/or description of the department and to include assets under that department, enter the following information:

1. Enter a unique "Asset Number."
2. Enter the "Department Number."
3. Enter information to describe the department in "Description."
4. Leave all other information for this asset BLANK.
5. For every asset to be included in the specified department, enter the same department number, along with the necessary information to compute current depreciation amounts.

Note: When the Depreciation Options and Depletion Overrides worksheet > Depreciation Options and Overrides section > Sort Assets By Depletion Number on Detailed Depreciation Report field is entered, assets are sorted by depletion number. This field must be blank to sort assets by department number and category codes.
