Hi Steve,
How are they entering the GL Account? Are they typing it in or popping the Finder and selecting it?
Everywhere in Adagio where you enter a GL account during transaction entry, the department is pre-populated with the department from the Finder. All the text is selected, so if you type anything then the text is replaced.
Having a warning when "an unintended" department is entered, requires a connection to the cosmic consciousness.
If an account-department pair exists, then presumably that's a valid expense distribution (although it may not be correct for the invoice at hand). Invalid account-department pairs should be marked Inactive in Ledger to prevent selection. Vendors should have default account-department pairs on their record.
Changing the way this works would result in screams of anguish from those used to this program operation. This means if we change the operation, it has to be controlled by a User Preference, which means changing every transaction entry dialog in Adagio to check the preference.
We have batches and batch listings in Adagio to allow people to easily check their work. The batch listing includes a GL account summary. Does it need to include a department summary too?
