Using departments is a good idea.
BACKUP
You should make a backup before proceeding.
No one else should be using PFW, or at least not attempting to create inventory or make sales.
SYSTEM SETUP
1) Go to File: System: System Setup
2) Choose Inventory on the left side
3) Choose Use Departments on the right side
4) Choose OK [F10] to save changes
CREATING DEPARTMENTS
1) Go to Utilities: Departments
2) Choose ADD Department
3) Fill in...
Department Code = an abbreviation of the department name
Description = the name of the department
Auto SKU = (optional)

ASSIGNING CATEGORIES TO A DEPARTMENT
1) Highlight the newly added department

--- If the category you want does not exist, choose Add Category and create one.
4) Highlight the desired category and choose Select in the lower left
PFW UPDATES
By selecting a category for a department, PFW will ask if you want to update and change sales history to reflect the new department / category assignment. Answer Yes. This may take some time if you have had a lot of invoice sales of the inventory assigned to the category.
