Introduction

The Office update is used to add, change, or delete office information. An office must exist before leases may be added for the office. The combination of portfolio, company, region, and office make up an accounting unit of LeasePak (i.e., General Ledger records are stored by portfolio, company, region, and office). Each office must be associated with a complete set of G/L account names and numbers.

When adding a new office, a default G/L accounting unit may be entered. The G/L account names and numbers of the default unit are used for the new office. If no default is entered, G/L account names and numbers for the newly added office are the standard provided by MSI. A warning message appears to indicate that MSI’s defaults are being used. Changes to defaults may be made through the Office G/L Change update [U0716].

LeasePak’s term "office" may be changed through the Account Customizations option of the Custom General update [U0712]. A long form (up to 10 characters) and short forms (up to 3 and 5 characters) of the office alias should be specified. For example, "DIVISION" might be entered for the long form and "DIV" for the short forms. All occurrences of the long or short form of the term "office" are replaced by the alias.

A screen default to reduce data entry of the office number may be used. Screen defaults (also called "FMS defaults")are specified through the Account Customizations option of the Custom General update [U0712], and cause LeasePak to display a default office number, which may then be changed. A screen default should be used if the majority of the leases in the database belong to a single office.

All changes in office information are recorded on the Maintenance report which is produced by the End of Period update [U0401].
