How to Update the Location and Department Naming Convention

The following article outlines how to update Custom Organizational Categories. Please be aware that changing the names of Organizational Categories will impact your entire Procurify configuration. Ensure that your Category names are suitable for your organization's structure and the necessary parties are informed of the update. Special characters are not allowed. Alphanumeric characters only. The character limit is 15 per category. Consider the following when creating a new Customized Organizational Category:

1. How Budgets are to be managed and reflected.
2. If you're not using Budgets, consider how roles and permissions are managed in your organization.
3. How projects are structured.

Steps:

1. Select SETTINGS on the left-hand navigational black bar. 
2. Select Customize Organizational Categories under Customizations.
3. Type in the name of the new Primary and Secondary Organizational Categories, both Singular and Plural. 
4. Select the SAVE CATEGORY LABELS button.
5. Refresh the screen, and verify update by opening a Request for Order.
