See more examples listed below.

Example 2: A category is set up with a Capitalized (Object) Code = 0642, a Minimum Value =  $0, and the Fund pull-down is set to 410, 420, and 441. Any item charged to Object 0642 AND a Fund of 410, 420, or 421 will be flagged as a potential Fixed Asset.

Example 3: A category is set up with a Capitalized (Object) Code = 0644, a Minimum Value =  $500,  and the Fund column is set to 410, 420, and 441. Any item charged to Object 0642, costing $500 or more,  AND a Fund of 410, 420, or 421 will be flagged as a potential Fixed Asset.

For example, if entering “Dell” as the manufacturer, the user will not have to enter “Dell” 30 times when buying a whole lab of computers. However, in the case of a Barcode, each item will have its own number; therefore, the Duplicate check box would be left cleared, so the user must enter the barcode for each listed item.

24. Select the Auto-Assign check box to assign barcodes to items starting with the number entered via Setup > Settings > Fixed Assets > Next Auto-Assigned Barcode. Note: The Increment check box must be selected (step 20) in order to enable Auto-Assign.

For example, if you add an item to a purchase request/order,  enter the barcode (selected field in this scenario), and press the Enter key to save the item, the mouse automatically moves to the barcode field in the next row in order to add another item.

26. Once all selections have been made for the selected field, press the Enter key to save the line of data. You will know the line has been committed when it turns blue and the delete button (red minus sign) displays.
