Departments in PrintVis

Every single piece of data in PrintVis eventually gets linked to departments.

Cost Center calculations, estimating, job costing repots, financial and production statistics - all depend on how the Departments are setup.

Here is the simplified example of how the machines are linked to Cost Centers and to Departments.

On the finance side, departments are established as one of the “Dimensions” - to further analyze various financial data.

Please read this info about the “Dimensions” in Business Central:

Departments are also used for grouping various data fields in calculation windows, shop floor, job tickets.

For example, the Job Ticket displays the Cost Center data based on which department they are assigned to:

Example of a Department setup card:

Note that we can assign a specific “type” for each department:

If none of the pre-set classification values fit, just leave the “Department Type” field empty.

PrintVis “Rapidstart” provides only 1 instance of each department “type” for you to import.

Note: you cannot import the second instance of the same department type.

For example, if we want to have 2 different departments of the type “Printing” (1 is offset and 1 is digital), importing another “Printing” department will overwrite the previously imported one.

Instead, we would copy a specific department type only once and then add a new one and by hitting “New” button and using the original one as a template.
