Need to remove department from Subsidiary A, but maintain the department in Subsidiary B
Hello,
Our issue is we need to remove departments from subsidiaries, so they are not mistakenly coded on transactions. However we cannot remove the departments from the subsidiaries, due to this error message:
Setup > Company > Department > Edit Department > Removing subsidiary throws error message: You cannot remove subsidiary XXX because this record is used on a transaction for subsidiary XXX
Suite answers suggests:
A. Delete all the associated transactions in the saved search created above
B. Inactivate the department and then create a new one so this will not be associated with previous transactions.
Option A is not viable for us as it would require opening closed periods (etc.)
