Departments can be defined within an organization, customer record or vendor record. Example: IT, Sales or Accounting. All staff members are defined by the department they belong to. You can define multi-level hierarchies of departments by identifying a parent department for a department. You can reassign a staff member to any other department within the same organization, customer record, or vendor record.
