Support:

I understand what Steve means. While some users like that Adagio tries to help by loading the first matching Department code (especially in situations with very few Departments), others would prefer a blank Department which means the user has to stop, think and select the correct Department.

One of my clients agrees with Steve's secondary request: The ability to allow a blank Department code on the Vendor master record. This would be used in situations where the GL Account can be assigned to the Vendor with accuracy but the Department can vary.

As Support stated, this is not currently possible. However this client is a relatively recent convert from ACCPAC Plus. That product didn’t do as much checking as Adagio and therefore they deliberately have a number of long-time Vendors with blank Department codes.

But that request brings up a related request. They have had a few transactions get to the GL with missing Department codes. The cause is (1) the long-term Vendor does not have a Department assigned and (2) the user is using the mouse rather than the keyboard to skip the GL Account and Department fields and go directly to the amount field. The request is that the application verifies the Account and Department when the detail form closes, not only when exiting from the Department field.
