Department Groups let you group various departments together. A common use case is to group wines together. You can create a department group called "Wine". It can house specific departments for Wines like Red Wines, White Wines, Rose, and so on. By default, we will create a group called "Other" for you.

Department Groups are sorted alphabetically by default. If you wish to sort in your way, you must prefix the name with a number to show up first.

Example if you want the order to be like below:

Then the names should be like to ensure the right order:

Click "Create Department Group". Type in the name then "Create". You will see an empty group created.

Managing Department Groups

Departments allow you to identify products. A department could be called "Wine" and house all of your wines or could be called "Red Wine" and house your Red Wine.

A department controls tax, bottle deposit rate, and environment fee rate on an item.

If tax is set to 6% then all items within that department will be taxed 6%. When you are creating an item, it is very important to put it in the correct department to have it be charged correctly.

Bottle Deposit & Environment Fee & THC Fees

Fees such as bottle deposits, environment fee, and THC fee rates are set on a department. The total fee amount is determined by multiplying the fee rate on the department with the 'multiplier' assigned to an item. This design allows you to easily change fee rates (ex. $0.05 for bottle deposits changes to $0.10) by simply changing the department rate only.

'Environment Fee' is currently a secondary fee with multiple purposes. You can use that fee for THC fees as well (it behaves the same as environment fees but on different products).

Navigate to Settings -> Departments. Click "Add Department", type in the required fields. You must select a department group. Then click save. To edit a department, click on the edit icon under Actions.
