Ledger Enquiry / Display Notes by Department

The Ledger Enquiry allows notes to be recorded against the enquiry record. Over time these notes build up and some of these notes will not be relevant for initial view when displaying notes in the panels at the foot of the screen.

This new feature allows you to assign a ‘department’ to a user on the Datafile sign-on and to record the department when they add a note against an enquiry record. When configuring the ledger enquiry panels you can also display notes in both panels splitting then into left / right by their department.

Up to twenty-six departments can be configured – for each department you set a tick box to allow the department to be selected against an operator and then enter the name of the department.

You can also configure whether any legacy notes or the Debtor memo which do not have a department assigned are displayed. Notes can be configured to display in both the left and right panel if required showing different groups of departments as required, if a department is not selected in either panel then that departments notes are omitted and can only be viewed by selecting the Notes option on the CRM panel within the enquiry.
