HRMS Configurations – Manage Department
The Department submodule in OfficeCentral allows your company to:
-
Organize staff by department
-
Map staff automatically to the correct Chart of Accounts
-
Track payroll, employment contributions, and expenses accurately
⚠️ Note: Mapping to Chart of Accounts is optional. You can create a department without setting COA mappings. However, if you want automated accounting for payroll and related expenses, COA mapping is recommended.
