During EDI processing and other automated inventory updates, an item is placed in department 999 (Unknown) when a specific department is not defined. 

You can perform a margin analysis for items in department 999 (Unknown) in Paladin’s Invoice Margin Analysis Report.

  2. In the Report Area pane, select Sales Analysis > What I Need To Know.
