  3. On Branch/Plant Constants - Pg 1, complete the following field:

    • Quality Management (Y/N)

Field Explanation
Skip to Branch/Plant An alphanumeric field that identifies a separate entity within a business for which you want to track costs. For example, a business unit might be a warehouse location, job, project, work center, or branch/plant.

You can assign a business unit to a voucher, invoice, fixed asset, and so on, for purposes of responsibility reporting. For example, the system provides reports of open accounts payable and accounts receivable by business units to track equipment by responsible department.

Security for this field can prevent you from locating business units for which you have no authority.

Note: The system uses this value for Journal Entries if you do not enter a value in the AAI table.

Quality Management (Y/N) This flag indicates whether to activate the Quality Management system (System 37) for your branch/plant.
