Departments are organisational units that form separate wholes, each processing its own data and/or business transactions — financial, material or non-material. Examples:

• Data processed in a department may be, for instance, stock in a warehouse or the members of a political party in a local branch.
• Financial transactions in a department may be retail invoices in a shop, invoices for services in a repair shop, cash receipts and payments of a cash till…
• Material transactions in a department are goods receipts, stock issues, delivery notes…
• Non-material transactions that can be grouped by department are, for example, work orders.

Every company must have at least one department and may have several.
Departments are normally attached directly to the company, but in exceptional cases a company may have a hierarchy of departments, in which case a department is attached to its parent department. This makes it possible to build complex organisational structures, e.g. national organisations such as a political party, organised hierarchically from a department in a local committee that belongs to a municipal or city organisation, which belongs to a county organisation, which belongs to a regional organisation, and so on.
