Setting Up Divisions

You can associate an account mask with a division. This is useful if divisions are identified by a specific segment of the account number. You can use the account mask to direct sales revenue, cost of sales, and revenue relating to rental and transport transactions to a specific division, regardless of the other account segments to which the revenue or cost is to be booked.

Select Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Setup > Equipment > Equipment > Divisions.
Complete the following fields, as necessary.
- Division
  Enter the division name.
- Description
  Enter a description.
- Account Mask
  Enter an Account Mask. Use ? as the wild character. The account mask indicates that equipment belonging to the division should be booked to certain accounts. See About Account Masking for more information on account masking.
- Eq. ID Segment Value
  Define the segment that will be used to identify this division when the equipment ID of a new piece of equipment is set up to contain a segment based on branch. See Setting Up Equipment Numbering Types.
Select Save.

Account masks can also be set up for type and branch. Type, branch, and division should be represented by different account segments. However, if there is a conflict, branch takes highest precedence, followed by division, and then type.
