Company [U0208]

Introduction

The Company update is used to add, change, or delete company information. A company must exist before regions, offices, and leases may be added for the company. 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).

LeasePak's term "company" 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 company alias should be specified. For example, "SUBSIDIARY" might be entered for the long form and "SUB" for the short form. All occurrences of the long or short form of the term "company" are replaced by the alias.

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

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