Departments in DPO

In this area, you can create and manage departments that can be selected when creating Purchase Orders (P.O.s), invoices, or expenses. Setting up departments correctly is essential, as it ensures the approval workflow runs smoothly by routing documents to the right approvers at each step.

How to Add or Remove a Department

In your settings section, open the Departments tab
Click Add Department to create a new department

Configure the Department

Enter the department name (e.g. Camera, Production, Marketing).
(Optional) Add a P.O. prefix to easily identify purchase orders from this department.
Enable Visible? so other users can select the department.
(Optional) Add translations (English or French) for international projects.

Click Add to save the department.

Remove a Department

To delete a department, click the trash icon next to the corresponding department.

Tip: Create departments based on your internal organization structure. This makes it easier to configure visibility settings and approval levels later on.
